Blockchain Association Petitions US Lawmakers, for Crypto Customer Rewards

boss

The Blockchain Association, a non-profit crypto advocacy organization, wrote a letter to the US Senate Committee on Banking, signed by over 125 crypto industry groups and companies, opposing the ban on third-party service providers and platforms offering customer rewards to stablecoin holders.

The letter compared the rewards offered by crypto platforms to those offered by credit…

boss

Washington is inching closer to putting bank-issued stablecoins on a clearer regulatory track. This week, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), the US agency that oversees bank safety and insures deposits, laid out a proposed framework for how insured banks, via subsidiaries, could seek approval to issue payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act, a move that could reshape who gets to mint digital dollars and under what rules. That same push toward institutionalization is also evident elsewhere in the crypto business landscape. Despite Bitcoin’s (BTC) lackluster performance, corporate treasuries are…

boss

Bitcoin continues to struggle below the $90,000 level as volatility remains elevated and market conviction weakens.

A recent analysis by Axel Adler highlights growing pressure on Bitcoin miners using the Miner Financial Health Index, a composite metric that assesses mining profitability relative to price. Readings above 80%…
