The White House’s crypto adviser pushed back on JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon’s assertion that stablecoin issuers who pay interest should be regulated like banks. Stablecoins need not be treated like deposits because the Genius Act explicitly bars issuers from lending the reserves that back their tokens, Patrick Witt, the executive director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, wrote in an X post. Dimon said banks want stablecoin issuers that pay interest on customer balances to face the same rules as traditional lenders, sharpening the debate over U.S. crypto regulation. He also addressed reported tensions with Coinbase CEO…

Key takeaways The economy is influenced by five major forces, including debt, wealth gaps, and international conflicts. Government finances are similar to those of companies but with the unique ability to print money. The US government is projected to run a 40% deficit, highlighting fiscal challenges. A significant debt rollover challenge is looming for the US with $9 trillion maturing. Geopolitical tensions increase the risk for foreign buyers of US dollar-denominated debt. The current political and economic system hinders efficient government changes. Gold is considered the most established form of money and a key reserve currency. Money is fundamentally a…

The United Kingdom House of Lords grilled Coinbase’s top international policy executive on Wednesday over whether stablecoins would drain bank deposits and add new risks to the UK financial system, pressing him on everything from Silicon Valley Bank‑style runs to illicit finance and Know Your Customer (KYC) rules. During the Lords’ stablecoins inquiry, Tom Duff Gordon, Coinbase’s vice president for international policy, insisted that fully reserved, regulated stablecoins were “safer than uninsured bank deposits” because they are backed one‑to‑one by cash and high‑quality government securities and can be redeemed at par. He argued that stablecoins could materially reduce payment costs,…

Eco, a stablecoin infrastructure platform backed by a16z Crypto, has introduced Programmable Addresses, a new feature designed to automate cross-chain fund routing for developers, enterprises, and institutional users. Traditionally, users manually bridge, swap, or redistribute crypto assets after receiving funds. This process is fragmented, time-consuming, and prone to error, especially in a multi-chain environment where liquidity, gas tokens, and wallet balances are spread across different networks. Each step often requires separate transactions, additional fees, and exposure to bridge failures or partial execution risk. With Programmable Addresses, Eco embeds execution logic directly into the address, allowing developers to automate cross-chain routing,…
