Williams Affirms Commitment to 2% Inflation Goal Williams acknowledged that inflation is “clearly at a high level” and remains significantly above the Fed’s 2% target. He stressed the importance of consistently bringing price pressures down, noting that the current policy framework is designed…

The disconnect is not a glitch. It is the whole story. By the middle of 2026, Ripple had assembled a deal sheet most blockchain networks would envy. It settled the redemption of a tokenized United States Treasury across borders and across banks with JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance, with the blockchain leg finalizing in under five seconds. NEW: JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ondo Finance and Ripple complete…

The US House has passed a major housing bill that includes a ban on central bank digital currencies until 2030, in what is set to be a major win for Republicans who have long pushed for such a measure. The House voted 358-32 on Tuesday to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a day after the Senate voted 85-5 to pass the bill, which largely aims to tackle housing affordability.

As Bitcoin struggles to regain momentum, concerns around Michael Saylor’s Strategy are once again resurfacing. With Bitcoin recently falling toward $58,000 and Strategy’s stock dropping sharply, some investors fear the company could enter a so-called “death spiral.” However, Bitcoin analyst Adam Livingston argues that the situation is not nearly as dire as many think. Livingston recently ran a three-year stress test on Strategy using an extremely bearish scenario. The model assumes Bitcoin falls to $26,611 within six months, Strategy’s market net asset value ratio (mNAV) drops below 0.50x, capital markets shut down, and the company loses access to new funding.…

Stablecoins have moved from a crypto-policy-side market to Kevin Warsh’s Federal Reserve’s dollar-policy agenda. Fed Governor Christopher Waller used the central bank’s June 22 dollar conference to frame digital assets, including stablecoins, as part of the research agenda around the dollar’s international role. The remarks were a research signal rather than a new stablecoin policy. They changed the context: stablecoin flows now sit alongside dollar funding, payment rails, cross-border capital movement, safe-asset demand, and the question of how private token issuers touch public dollar infrastructure. That reframes the market. Dollar-backed stablecoins are still crypto trading tools, payment tokens, and regulatory…

Pi Network is scheduled to release roughly 1.21 billion tokens this year, about 6.5 million a day, into a market already pinned near the coin’s all-time low.

Pi Network spent years building one of the largest communities in crypto, and in 2026 that community is staring at a number that hangs over everything: roughly 1.21 billion Pi tokens are scheduled to unlock this year, releasing into circulation at a pace of around 6.5 million coins a day.…
