    Lawmakers Say Bank of England Stablecoin Proposals Will ‘Limit Adoption, Push Activity Overseas’

    A group of British lawmakers has urged the Bank of England to reconsider proposals that would cap stablecoin holdings for citizens and businesses, and impose stringent reserve requirements on issuers. Under the proposals—which are still undergoing consultation—stablecoin holdings would be capped at $26,350 (£20,000) for private individuals and $12.7 million (£10 million) for businesses, with some exemptions possible for larger firms. In addition, stablecoin issuers would only be permitted to hol...

    Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood: Bitcoin’s Four-Year Cycle Will Be ‘Disrupted’

    Famed tech investor Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, has argued that Bitcoin’s historic four-year cycle will be “disrupted” as institutions have increasingly piled into the asset. Where Bitcoin “regularly dropped 75-90% in its early days,” Wood said in an interview with Fox Business Tuesday, more recently, “The volatility’s going down.” “We think that the move by institutions into this new asset class is going to prevent much more of a decline,” she added, arguing that, “We may have seen the low...

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims 'CBDC Loophole Remains' in GENIUS Act

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has taken aim at the GENIUS Act—which provides a legislative framework for stablecoins in the U.S.—alleging that it contains a “loophole” for introducing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). “I support crypto but I will never support giving the government the ability to turn off your ability to have full control of your money and to buy and sell,” Greene tweeted. Back in July, I voted NO on the GENIUS Act because it contained a back door to a central bank...

Xavier Vilajoana, a former board member of the club, told the Financial Times that striking a deal with the crypto startup was a sign of financial “desperation,” pointing to “red flags” in the company's background and calling the decision "incredibly concerning."

    Bitcoin Billionaire Arthur Hayes Blames Crypto Plunge on 'Contraction in Dollar Liquidity'

    Arthur Hayes, a seasoned market analyst and former CEO of crypto exchange BitMEX, has chalked up Bitcoin's recent price plunge to reduced dollar liquidity, instead of factors like government support or institutional investors no longer “being long on Bitcoin.” “Bitcoin is the free-market weathervane of global fiat liquidity,” he wrote Monday. “It trades on the expectation of future fiat supply.” Bitcoin dropped below $90,000 on Tuesday morning, hitting a seven-month low—one day after erasing all...

    Visa is piloting a new scheme that will allow companies to send payments directly to recipients' stablecoin wallets, while only sending conventional fiat USD. Firms will pay out money in fiat USD, and recipients will receive the money in dollar-pegged stablecoins like Circle’s USDC, the world’s second largest stablecoin by capitalization. It doesn’t appear that companies will be able to send stablecoins directly via the scheme. Visa did not mention if or when support for stablecoins other than U...
