Token Metrics Currently, the market reflects a cautious approach amidst these developments, with the broader crypto environment witnessing fluctuating sentiments. Monerium’s integration with Polygon signifies a strategic move to enhance accessibility and liquidity for euro transactions, potentially influencing trading behavior and market confidence in euro-backed assets. This shift could invite increased institutional interest and user adoption in the coming months. Monerium is a regulated electronic money institution that issues the EURe stablecoin, a digital representation of real euros. Polygon, known for its scalable blockchain solutions, provides the infrastructure necessary for Monerium’s euro payment integration, enabling efficient cross-border transactions within the…
South Korea clears way for courts to seize and sell Bitcoin for unpaid debts under new November rules
The changes come as cryptocurrency holdings increasingly feature in South Korean debt-recovery proceedings, prompting authorities to establish consistent procedures for assets that can be transferred rapidly without relying on traditional financial intermediaries. Crypto exchanges face new obligations under debt-recovery rules Under the framework, creditors seeking repayment from cryptocurrency held on exchanges can obtain court orders attaching a debtor’s right to receive those assets. Once an attachment order is served, the exchange or other custodian must prevent the transfer of covered assets to the debtor, who is also prohibited from disposing of the claim or receiving the cryptocurrency. Creditors can also…
The project would allow these tokenized securities to be fungible with traditionally issued stocks, sharing prices and liquidity. Nonetheless, these will not be issued primarily on blockchain and will be represented by tokens linked to existing assets, with transactions settling in two business days. “The initial objective is this is for you to be able to tokenize the share, deliver it to the investor’s hand […] and for them to be able to trade on the same book, at the same time,” Costa highlighted, stressing that to achieve continuous 24/7 trading and simultaneous settlement would require a regulatory overhaul. “Today,…
Miners have about four weeks to direct their machines elsewhere. After the cutoff, Binance will stop crediting mining shares, the records of work used to calculate payouts. Pool Savings users must redeem their positions, while anyone awaiting a final payout should complete required identity checks by 11:59 p.m. UTC that day. Pool pages will disappear permanently on Nov. 24, giving customers another two weeks to download records and check payout status. Four years ago, Binance was offering to finance miners’ expansion. In October 2022, it announced a $500 million lending program through the pool, offering secured loans for 18 to…
The first cushion is the 100-week exponential moving average (EMA), a trend line that weights recent prices more heavily, at $78,712.73, with the 50-week EMA at $78,003.75 just below it. Both sit about 5% to 6% under price. Further down, the 20-week EMA at $74,565.35 sits inside the Bull Market Support Band, a zone traders use to judge whether a bull trend is intact, which spans $70,613.19 to $74,535.64. The 200-week EMA at $69,196.69 sits below the band. This week’s candle opened at $84,455.24 and peaked at $84,972.01, so a weekly close above that high would signal the pullback is…
In his Oct. 14 post, Specter wrote that the funds “were withdrawn in Jan 2026,” referring back to his January analysis. The Visible Withdrawal Route An Ethereum transaction shows Tornado Cash’s 100 $ETH pool sending 100 $ETH to an intermediary address beginning `0xf94957` on Jan. 5 at 4:16 p.m. ET. Blockscout’s transaction records show that intermediary subsequently sending 1 $ETH and approximately 99 $ETH to `0xAFa2A89CB43619677d9C72E81f6d4c8a730a1022`. Heart published that receiving address in his ProveX announcement. He described the sacrifice as a political statement and warned: “You understand what you sacrifice can be sold and you will receive no benefit from…
Tether and Fasanara Capital Launch $400 Million Private Credit Fund to Expand Stablecoin-Enabled Real-Economy Lending

By the Numbers Currently, the Sui ecosystem is witnessing a notable absence of trading volume, with market activity reported as $0 in the last 24 hours. Despite this, the recent partnership may stimulate interest and engagement within the community, as the push for standardized tokenization frameworks gains traction. The overall sentiment in the crypto market remains mixed, but Sui’s strategic moves could enhance its visibility and relevance in upcoming developments. Sui is focused on building a decentralized ecosystem that enhances the usability and interoperability of digital assets. The integration with the Open Tokenized Asset Standard is within the framework of…
Why could stablecoin rules change how assets are viewed? Stablecoins that appear similar on the surface can have very different issuer structures and regulatory arrangements. For example, two dollar-pegged stablecoins might offer similar market functions while operating under different reserve, redemption or disclosure requirements. That information is not always visible in the headline figures used by cryptocurrency lists. As regulation becomes more detailed, platforms could have more reason to show this information alongside price, volume and market capitalization. That would give users a clearer picture of the asset beyond its market activity and make comparisons less dependent on financial metrics…
Daily active addresses averaged about 322,000 in the latest week, down 31% from mid-September, suggesting fewer people, and fewer of the trading bots they run, are using the chain each day. The drop is likely smaller in human terms than the raw number implies, since one trader can run many addresses and a single automated program can account for thousands of transactions. Robinhood Chain transactions have fallen 42%. (Shaurya Malwa/CoinDesk)Less trading, steady balances Spot exchanges, where users buy and sell tokens directly, handled $7.45 billion during Oct. 2–8, down 21% from $9.46 billion the week before, according to CoinDesk calculations…
