Peter Thiel-backed crypto banking startup Plasma has unveiled Plasma One, a stablecoin-focused neobank that combines blockchain infrastructure, payments and consumer banking services into a single application.

Built on the Plasma Network, the company’s custom blockchain, Plasma One allows users to deposit stablecoins or fiat currencies, send cross-border transfers without fees, earn yield on balances and spend funds using a digital Visa card.

The recent market downturn has seen Ethereum effectively erase multiple years of gains as its price plummets back to a familiar level last seen around March 2021. Despite the several periods of bullish and bearish cycles when the market continued to see a mix of major rallies and sharp downturns, ETH has typically gone full circle according to recent data from popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez. Ethereum hits net gains? The data showcased suggests that a $10,000 investment made around March 2021 would still be worth about the same today as Ethereum is currently sitting at a zero net gain.…
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock could emerge as the biggest winner from the historic SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) IPO, according to a new analysis from Lynx Equity. In a note published on June 16, the firm argued that investors seeking exposure to the long-term benefits of SpaceX’s growth may be better off owning NVDA stock instead of SPCX shares.

A coalition of U.S. cryptocurrency industry leaders has sent a joint letter to lawmakers urging them to preserve the original text of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) provision within the broader Clarity Act. The provision, as originally drafted, would exempt developers and node operators who do not take custody of customer funds from being regulated as money transmitters. What the BRCA Provision Would Do The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act aims to draw a clear legal line between entities that handle customer funds and those that simply build or maintain the underlying technology. Under the provision, software developers who write…
According to Bitwise, the boundary separating traditional finance (TradFi) and the cryptocurrency sector has started to disappear. Such a statement has come after Coinbase’s sweeping “System Update” announcement, which unveiled a massive push to become an “Everything Exchange”. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has noted that Coinbase might eventually cease being a crypto company per se if its revenue eventually stems from non-spot trading activities (trading stocks, offering perpetual futures and options, and so on). “The lines between crypto and TradFi are going to vanish,” Hougan stated. The cryptocurrency-native firm, which competes with the likes of Binance and Kraken,…
Washington insider warns US defeat in Iran now “likely” – adding a new macro risk for Bitcoin
A prominent figure from the Washington foreign-policy establishment has said openly what markets have been pricing in fragments: the United States has likely suffered a strategic defeat in Iran, and the failure runs through the Strait of Hormuz. Accepting this premise would introduce a new macro risk for Bitcoin. The warning comes from an article by Robert Kagan in The Atlantic. Kagan sits inside the interventionist wing of U.S. foreign policy, the Project for the New American Century, and the broader doctrine that treated American military dominance as the organizing principle of the post-Cold War order. Kagan is not a…

Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart On the daily timeframe, $ETH remains firmly inside the large descending channel that has guided price action lower for several months. The asset recently broke below the important $1.85K support area, which has now flipped into resistance.…
