The Bank of England (BoE) published a policy statement and draft rules for systemic stablecoins on Monday, outlining how regulated pound-backed stablecoins would operate in the United Kingdom. The BoE defines systemic stablecoins as those that are widely used in payments and may pose risks to the UK’s financial stability. HM Treasury is responsible for determining whether a stablecoin falls within the systemic regime. Under the policy statement, systemic stablecoin issuers will be allowed to hold up to 70% of reserves in interest-bearing government debt, up from 60% under the previous proposal. Proposed holding limits have also been replaced with…
Merging Crypto With Regional QR Systems Cryptocurrency platform Kucoin announced on June 22 the expansion of its digital payment system into Argentina and Peru, integrating crypto and stablecoins directly into the regional networks that power everyday QR-code transactions. The move reflects an accelerating trend across South America, where inflation and limited banking access have driven consumers toward mobile-first digital wallets rather than traditional credit cards. Under the new rollout, Kucoin Pay will plug into Argentina’s government-regulated Transferencias 3.0 system. The framework mandates that QR codes be interoperable, meaning a consumer can scan a single code at a merchant counter and…
Where Bitcoin Stands The drawdown places bitcoin in one of its more extended corrective phases of the current cycle. Institutional infrastructure has grown considerably compared to prior cycles, but the price reflects persistent macro, geopolitical, and flow pressures that have offset structural buying.

While the broader trend remains decisively bearish, the recent movements suggest that sellers may be approaching exhaustion after weeks of sustained downside. Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart $ETH’s recent rejection from the $1.72K-$1.78K supply zone triggered another leg lower, pushing it back into the critical $1.46K-$1.53K demand region.

Pi Network lets tens of millions of people “mine” crypto by tapping a button on their phone once a day, with no hardware, no electricity bill, and no drained battery. That sounds too easy to be real mining, and in a sense it is not. Here is what Pi mining actually does, how the Stellar Consensus Protocol underneath it works, and what your daily tap really secures. Pi mining is the process by which Pi Network distributes its PI tokens to users who confirm their participation through a mobile app and contribute trust relationships to the network, rather than by…
Developers in the Crosshairs Lummis made her case via a statement shared on June 22, singling out the legal exposure faced by the people who write code for decentralized finance ( DeFi) tools, wallets and other onchain services. She has repeatedly argued that the absence of clear rules leaves engineers guessing whether routine work could later be treated as a crime, a fear that has lingered over the industry since a wave of enforcement actions in prior years. She added: “Software developers should not need an army of lawyers to know if their code is legal. The Clarity Act ends…
