✏️ New York City Mayor: New York City Will Become the Crypto Capital of the World

▪️Our priority is not memes and hype, but sustainable and long-term values ​​of blockchain technologies that will benefit the city and its residents.

▪️Cryptocurrency, blockchain, fintech — New York is open to those who move these areas forward.

▪️We are already living in the era of a technological revolution. This is not a distant prospect — this is our reality.

▪️Our goal is to build a real empire here in New York, especially in the crypto sector.

▪️Since the first day of my work, I have been striving for one thing — to make New York the crypto capital of the world.

▪️We will attract global talent, create financial opportunities for the unbanked, and improve access to public services.

▪️The city will provide a robust regulatory environment that investors can confidently enter.

▪️Regulation is important for security, but we will not allow excessive restrictions to stifle crypto innovation.

💎 Ethereum Overtakes Bitcoin

After the tariff announcement, both cryptocurrencies initially declined, but then stabilized at $103,000 and $2,400.

📊 Capital rotation is observed: BTC dominance fell below 63%, and altcoins, especially ETH, are starting to outperform.

QCP Capital analysts note Bitcoin's contradictory position between the status of "digital gold" and a risky asset, which prevents a clear trend.

💡 At the same time, Ethereum shows clearer dynamics: neutral funding and growth above $2,400 amid the Pectra update.

Renewed interest in long-term ETH options may signal a capital flow.

📌 Fed: Stablecoins Could Hurt the Credit System

The Federal Reserve’s Depository Institutions Council (CDIAC) said the rise of non-bank stablecoins poses a serious threat to the traditional banking sector.

Key concerns:

– Stablecoins are becoming digital analogues of money market funds, which have already radically changed the financial system in the past

– They compete with bank deposits, but are not subject to the same liquidity rules and regulatory oversight

– This could destabilize local credit mechanisms, especially in small towns and among vulnerable groups

To sum up, the Fed fears that stablecoins could quietly destroy the foundation of traditional lending.

📌 Bitcoin is becoming a "mature" asset
(Even taking into account today's fall)

Analyst Willy Woo noted: since funds and large players started buying BTC (since 2020), its growth has slowed. Previously - more than 100% per year. Now - 30-40%. And in 10-20 years, it may be only 8% per year.

What does this mean:
◾️ Bitcoin is no longer a tool for hype and X
◾️ It is turning into "digital gold" - a stable asset for years
◾️ Ahead is not waves, but a plateau

Woo: "We are leaving the Wild West phase. The maturity phase is beginning. And this is normal."

Conclusion: speculators are bored, long-term investors are calm.

🎙 David Sachs: The Stablecoin Bill Will Definitely Be Passed!

Sachs is the person responsible for the White House administration's policy on artificial intelligence and crypto.

What is this bill about:

◾️ The US Treasury will be given the authority to block suspicious transactions, and issuers will have to have mechanisms to freeze transfers

◾️ Stablecoin issuers with a capitalization of up to $10 billion will be regulated by states, large ones - by federal authorities, but may remain under government supervision if conditions are met

◾️ Stablecoins will have to be backed by liquid assets (cash, deposits, and US government bonds)

◾️ Stablecoin issuers will be required to publish monthly reports on liquidity and reserve composition

📌 Bitwise believes that the adoption of the bill will trigger a multi-year bull cycle in the crypto market.

🏦 By 2045, 50% of BTC will be in the hands of treasury structures

By 2045, treasury firms (such as MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, and XXI) are projected to own half of all bitcoins — 10.5 million out of 21 million.

🪙 MicroStrategy will remain the leader, with $70 trillion worth of bitcoins in its hands — more than any other company in history.

This means that the share of ordinary investors and private companies will rapidly decline. BTC is becoming an asset not only for the masses, but also for global corporations.

🏆 Two stablecoins dominate the market, accounting for a significant share of the total cap:

🔖 USDT: Ranked #1 with a market cap exceeding $153 billion. This represents approximately 61.2% of the total stablecoin market cap.

🕯 Bitcoin has become less volatile than gold

Why countries and companies are increasingly considering it as a reserve asset:

▪️ Unfreezing — BTC cannot be confiscated or sanctioned
▪️ Diversification — low correlation with traditional markets

▪️ Infrastructure reliability — decentralization protects against system failures
▪️ Historical returns — an average of +165% per year since 2009 (gold has only 7.6%)
▪️ Crisis-resistant — used as a means of preserving capital during unstable periods
▪️ Stability — BTC has shown less volatility than gold in recent weeks

⚡ China May Lift Ban on Cryptocurrency — Financial Times

Beijing has begun testing stablecoins tied to the yuan — so far as part of pilot projects for large companies and investors.

The goal is to strengthen control over capital flows within the country and pave the way for the internationalization of the yuan.

The regulator's position:
— Stablecoins can compete with the dollar
— But there are also risks: anonymous transfers, capital outflow, money laundering

Beijing is in no hurry, but is clearly preparing for a new crypto reality — on its own terms.
