The Democrat said that under Atkins’ leadership, the SEC has weakened investor protections and pursued fewer enforcement actions than at any time in the past decade.

Stablecoins are shifting from a crypto native tool to a core piece of institutional market plumbing, according to a new cross-sector outlook report from Moody’s. In the report, published Monday, the ratings agency said stablecoins processed about 87% more settlement volume in 2025 than the year before, reaching $9 trillion in activity based on industry estimates of onchain transactions, rather than purely bank‑to‑bank flows. Moody’s said fiat‑backed stablecoins and tokenized deposits are evolving into “digital cash” for liquidity management, collateral movements and settlements across an increasingly tokenized financial system. Stablecoins plug into institutional rails Moody’s placed stablecoins alongside tokenized bonds,…

The cryptocurrency market has seen some notable whale activity in the last few hours. Millions of dollars in transfers, highly leveraged transactions, and the reactivation of long-inactive wallets suggest that market volatility may increase. A newly created wallet withdrew 310 BTC (approximately $20.86 million) from Binance. This large transfer was interpreted as a possible move of assets to a cold wallet. A whale known as “0x4A2” invested 2 million USDC in the decentralized derivatives platform HyperLiquid and opened a 20x leveraged long position on Ethereum ($ETH) and Solana ($SOL). The fact that this address, previously known to have lost over…
