⚡️NEW: FedNow, the Fed’s instant payment service for U.S. financial institutions, is going CROSS-BORDER, but it is NOT using stablecoins.
FedNow will handle the U.S. leg of international payments in DOLLARS, while correspondent banks handle the overseas leg.
That puts stablecoins in direct competition, as banks gain a 24/7 regulated alternative for faster cross-border payments.

🪙BITCOIN: The US has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
But it has never bought a single Bitcoin.
18 months after Trump signed the order, the reserve still holds only BTC the government seized in criminal and civil cases.
The order never required any purchases, only asking officials to look for ways to buy more without using taxpayer money.

🚨JUST IN: Vitalik Buterin unveils Ethereum's next era as a "cryptographic world computer."
The Ethereum co-founder says the network is "really not just a blockchain anymore," but a system combining blockchains with modern cryptography to be cheaper, faster and more private.
He says next year's Hegota upgrade is likely Ethereum's last "normal" one, with everything after focused on zero-knowledge proofs and quantum safety.
By 2030, he expects transactions to finalize in as little as 8 seconds, down from around 200 seconds in 2015.

🇺🇸 HUGE: Blockchain .com is targeting a $500 MILLION IPO at a valuation of up to $6 BILLION, per Bloomberg.
The crypto exchange and wallet giant is seeking a U.S. listing this year after confidentially filing earlier in 2026.
It is reportedly pitching investors on a $4B–$6B valuation, though the deal could be smaller and terms remain subject to change.
The potential listing would make one of the latest major crypto companies to tap public markets as the industry’s IPO pipeline heats up.

🇺🇸HUGE: The CFTC has OFFICIALLY approved Coinbase's own clearinghouse, built for USDC collateral and 24/7 settlement.
Coinbase Clearing is now registered to clear fully collateralized futures, options on futures and swaps, per the CFTC's order.
Coinbase says clearing these contracts directly should speed up development of new regulated products.
It calls Coinbase Clearing the first USDC-native clearinghouse, though it will still use outside partners for some products, including its planned single-stock perps.
