β‘οΈNEW: FedNow, the Fedβs 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.

πͺBITCOIN: 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.

π¨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.

πΊπΈHUGE: 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.

π¨BULLISH: Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin will hit $1MILLION by 2030, arguing an AI debt crisis could fuel its next massive rally.
The Maelstrom CIO sees late 2027 or early 2028 as a potential turning point, when slowing AI infrastructure spending could expose projects unable to repay their debts.
His thesis predicts losses would spread to lenders, forcing governments and central banks to inject liquidity that ultimately flows into scarce assets like Bitcoin.
Hayes compares the risk to 2008 rather than the dot-com crash, with the danger concentrated in the debt financing the boom.
An AI bust followed by a liquidity surge is the scenario behind his $1 million target.
