More than a decade after the first stablecoins emerged, the U.S. dollar still reigns supreme in crypto. The stablecoin market has grown to more than $306 billion in total capitalization, data from DefiLlama shows. According to JPMorgan, around 99% of the stablecoin market remains U.S. dollar‑denominated. USD-pegged stablecoins’ dominance is half inertia and half convenience, according to Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, CEO of Concordium. “The dollar is the global reserve currency, so it’s the natural default for anyone building financial infrastructure,” he told Decrypt.  But he believes the deeper issue is that most projects have been optimized for adoption over fundamentals,…

Senator Wendy Rogers (R-Flagstaff) introduced the bills last month, with the measures now headed to the Senate Rules Committee. If enacted, S.C.R. 1003 would place a constitutional amendment before Arizona voters in November, asking…

For years, Bitcoin miners expanding across the United States learned that access to cheap power and industrial land did not guarantee community acceptance. Now, as AI hyperscalers and developers race to build power-dense data centers, they are encountering similar local resistance over electricity demand, infrastructure costs and long-term environmental impact, according to the latest Miner Mag newsletter. The parallels are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Bitcoin mining projects often promised job creation and a stronger local tax base, but those benefits did not always materialize, fueling opposition in several regions. AI data centers are now drawing many of the same…

As Congress debates crypto market structure legislation, one issue has emerged as especially contentious: whether stablecoins should be allowed to pay yield. On one side, you have banks fighting to protect their traditional hold over consumer deposits that underpin much of the U.S. economy’s credit system. On the other side, crypto industry players are seeking to pass on yield, or “rewards,” to stablecoin holders. On its face, this looks like a narrow question about one niche of the crypto economy. In reality, it goes to the heart of the U.S. financial system. The fight over yield-bearing stablecoins isn’t really about…
