Joachim Nagel, President of the German Central Bank (Bundesbank) and member of the European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council, said that issuing a euro-pegged stablecoin could both reduce costs in cross-border payments and be an important tool against the risk of “dollarization” created by dollar-based stablecoins. Speaking at the German-American Chamber of Commerce, Nagel emphasized that euro-denominated stablecoins could offer individuals and companies a low-cost and fast way to make international payments. According to Nagel, the replacement of a country’s local currency with dollar stablecoins effectively means the dollarization of that economy. This, he argues, could weaken the effectiveness of…

Former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao said centralized crypto exchanges have “zero motive” to assist terrorists after a US court dismissed a lawsuit accusing the exchange of facilitating terrorist financing. In a post on X, Zhao argued that the economics of crypto trading make such activity illogical for exchanges. “There are absolutely zero (0) motive for any CEX to have anything to do with terrorists,” Zhao wrote, adding that such actors are unlikely to generate trading revenue and may only deposit funds briefly before withdrawing them. The comments followed a ruling by the US District Court for the Southern District…

Key takeaways Customer support remains a significant challenge in DeFi due to the lack of traditional support structures. Yearn Finance conducts due diligence on new strategies to ensure safety before implementation. UST was identified as structurally unsound by Yearn, demonstrating foresight in risk management. Stablecoins backed by governance tokens are unlikely to succeed long-term due to inherent risks. Yearn’s strategy involves curating yield-generating opportunities across DeFi protocols with a focus on risk management. The DeFi market is expected to recover and grow in late 2023 and 2024. The recent mass liquidation event highlighted vulnerabilities in DeFi vault management. Turning vaults…

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wants there to be fewer moving parts for aspiring network validators to juggle. He recently commented on a Nimbus “Unified Node” pull request from the Status-im team, which would combine two separate Ethereum software components into a single, easy-to-run program. “Running two daemons and getting them to talk to each other is far more difficult than running one daemon,” Buterin wrote on X. “Our goal is to make the self-sovereign way of using Ethereum have good UX. In many cases, that means running your own node. The current approach to running your own node adds needless…

World Liberty Financial is tapping real-world asset specialist Securitize to help tokenize loan interests tied to the Trump International Hotel and Resort in the Maldives.

A bloc of House Republicans is threatening to sink a bipartisan Senate housing package unless lawmakers replace a temporary restriction on a US central bank digital currency (CBDC) with a permanent ban. The dispute centers on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, released last week by the Senate Banking Committee. The bill would temporarily bar the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC, but that restriction would expire on December 31, 2030. Why Are These Lawmakers Insisting on a Permanent CBDC Ban? However, that sunset clause has drawn opposition from an 18-member group of House Republicans. The lawmakers warned that…

As of today, March 16, 2026, $Ethereum is up 7% in the past 24 hours with 13% gain over the past week. This sudden volatility to the upside has liquidations of short positions reaching over $123 million, suggesting that the “bear trap” may have finally snapped shut. With institutional interest peaking due to the launch of products like the BlackRock iShares Staked Ethereum ETF (ETHB), the path toward $3,000 appears increasingly clear—provided key support zones hold. Is the Ethereum Bull Run Back? The short answer is: Potentially, but confirmation is key. The break above $2,250 is the first higher-high Ethereum…

Bitcoin’s hashrate has slipped beneath the 1 zettahash per second (ZH/s) mark as miner income remains painfully thin, with the hashprice daily rate parked at $31 per petahash per second (PH/s). Weak Hashprice and Lower Compute While Bitcoin’s hashrate briefly clawed its way back above 1,000 exahash per second (EH/s)—the neat mathematical twin of 1 ZH/s—it has since slipped below that line again. The move arrives as the value of a single petahash of output sits at $31.11, roughly 11.64% lower than it was 30 days ago on Feb. 15, 2026. While that revenue remains lean, it is still 12.88%…
