The assets moved were worth about $10 million in total. These large transfers coincided with a peak in local demand, giving the holders an opportunity to exit without putting substantial pressure on the price at the time. The catalyst for $QNT’s sharp rise was an official announcement from The Clearing House (TCH), a U.S. consortium that includes major commercial banks such as JPMorgan, Citi and Bank of America. The organization selected Quant as a technology partner for integrating tokenized deposits. Because TCH’s payment systems process about $2 trillion in transactions daily, the news triggered a wave of speculative demand. $QNT’s…
This money was apparently sent via Tether sister fund, Bitfinex, to Notorious, a firm led by Peter Vincer, who then forwarded the lion’s share of the funds to Nxum. The report claims that Tether sent its first $2.49 million payment from Bitfinex to Vincer on May 11, 2025. Vincer kept $498,000 and sent the rest to a Nxum wallet, where it was split three ways. On May 11, 2025, 0x77134cbC06cB00b66F4c7e623D5fdBF6777635EC, an address labeled as “Bitfinex: Hot Wallet” on Etherscan, sent $2.49 million in USDT to 0x4b3e4956a5Bf253Cf28f8cf9b9F71BfD100E98Fd across two transactions, with the $1 test transaction actually occurring the day before.

Mirae is linking crypto with traditional finance Mirae manages about $1 trillion in assets and intends to use its existing financial-services network to support the digital platform. The company previously described Digital X as an intelligent investment platform connecting research, traditional assets and blockchain-based products. The strategy reflects a wider push by South Korean financial groups to build regulated digital-asset infrastructure. Shinhan Financial Group, for example, is working with Visa to test stablecoin issuance and settlement systems. The target remains an ambition, not current scale The 150 trillion won figure is a long-term business objective rather than Digital X’s present…

Why Would Gold Fall on a War Warning? On paper, the weekend should have helped, but Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC yesterday that Tehran is ready for a “doomsday” war if attacked, after it came to light that President Donald Trump was looking to renew airstrikes on the country after the midterm elections. But the geopolitical premium flowed into oil, not metals, as Brent crude climbed 2.52% to $107 a barrel, something that feeds inflation. Inflation, in turn, feeds rate expectations and the CME Fedwatch tool showed a 68.1% probability of a 25 basis point Federal Reserve hike…
September’s Producer Price Index increased 1.3% month-over-month and 6.3% annually, exceeding forecasts of 0.5% and 5.3%, respectively. Core PPI, which excludes food and energy prices, also surpassed expectations. It rose 0.7% monthly and 5% annually, compared with forecasts of 0.3% and 4.4%. The figures followed Wednesday’s hotter-than-expected Consumer Price Index release, adding to concerns about persistent inflation and the outlook for monetary policy. Ethereum initially declined alongside other risk assets before recovering as Treasury yields and the dollar retreated. The concentration of losses among bullish traders highlights the pressure on leveraged positions during the decline. Forced position closures can intensify…
“Today, tokenization is obviously an important trend. We see it across asset classes,” Solomon remarked during the call. The CEO argued that emerging market structures can introduce new products, attract clients and broaden distribution, effectively expanding the bank’s total addressable market. His remarks did not announce a Goldman prediction market, DeFi vault or agentic trading product. Instead, they positioned these developments within a broader transformation of financial infrastructure that the bank intends to monitor and participate in. Tokenized Bonds, Real Estate and Money Market Funds Already in Play Goldman isn’t merely watching from the sidelines. Solomon pointed to years of…

A White House official told CoinDesk on Thursday that Witt’s work was appreciated and wished him “the best of luck in the future endeavors.” The official didn’t comment on who would be taking over. “Crypto and Clarity Act will continue to be a priority for the president,” the official said. The White House’s digital assets policy work was never a large operation, but the advisers were highly vocal at times, and their presence could put an important administrative stamp on crypto goals. The effort began several weeks before Trump returned to office in 2025, when the president-elect named David Sacks,…
The Numbers Currently, Solana’s market data highlights an absence of trading volume, indicating thin flow amid the excitement generated by the tokenization announcement. Despite this, the anticipation of increased activity as Mantle moves forward could shift market dynamics. Traders are particularly attentive to how this initiative might influence Solana’s stablecoin supply and overall market adoption. Solana is a high-performance blockchain known for its scalability and low transaction costs, making it an attractive option for projects like Mantle that seek to tokenize assets. The jurisdiction over such initiatives primarily falls under the purview of financial regulators, ensuring compliance with existing laws…
