Jack Dorsey publicly called out Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong over allegations the exchange is lobbying to exclude Bitcoin from tax exemptions for small payments. Coinbase denies it. But the policy shift is real, and the stakes are huge: will Bitcoin become actual money, or just digital gold?
FDIC Chairman Travis Hill clarifies that stablecoins will not receive federal deposit insurance, not even pass-through coverage, under the new GENIUS Act. This regulatory stance distinguishes stablecoins from bank deposits and addresses banking industry concerns about deposit runoff.

How USDT and USDC flows are replacing traditional remittance rails in key corridors, with hard data on volume, cost savings, and regulatory shifts
The Lightning Network crossed $1 billion in capacity, but nobody's buying coffee with Bitcoin. Here's why the circular economy vision faces an economic reality check.
Europe's crypto regulation created a temporary regulatory arbitrage window as some countries lagged on implementation. By July 1, 2026, those loopholes close and the shakeout begins. Lithuania already forced hundreds of companies to exit.
The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025. It mandates 1:1 reserve backing, creates federal and state licensing, carves stablecoins out of SEC/CFTC jurisdiction, and bans issuers from paying yield. Circle wins. Tether faces a choice. The compliance deadline is 11 months away.
