Stablecoins like USDT and USDC are quietly buying U.S. Treasuries as foreign demand declines. Tom Lee compares stablecoins to a mini debt system, supporting America’s $35 trillion liabilities. A future Fed CBDC could reshape monetary policy, directly managing accounts and stimulating economy. Can digital dollars help patch America’s $35 trillion debt hole?

He says tokens like USDT and USDC are quietly buying U.S. government bonds at a time when foreign buyers are pulling back. Stablecoins as a Mini…

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is preparing to let stablecoins and other tokenized assets serve as collateral in America’s $600 trillion derivatives market. Acting chair Caroline Pham said the work is part of the agency’s “crypto sprint,” aimed at cutting costs and boosting liquidity without losing oversight. “Since January, the CFTC has been taking steps to bring blockchain into derivatives markets,” Pham said. She framed tokenized collateral as a way to modernize collateral management and unlock capital efficiency. How the Plan Works The CFTC will work with industry leaders including Ripple, Coinbase, Circle, and Crypto.com to shape the…

The world of blockchain technology is constantly evolving, bringing both exciting innovations and unexpected challenges. A recent development from South Korea has caught the attention of many: the abrupt discontinuation of a significant South Korean blockchain project by the nation’s state mint, KOMSCO. For two years, the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation (KOMSCO) had been diligently working on an ambitious blockchain-based integrated digital wallet. This project aimed to bring together central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), digital IDs, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into a single, cohesive platform. However, as reported by Yonhap News, this innovative endeavor has now been halted.…

Ethereum may have found its killer app. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin argued that low-risk decentralized finance (DeFi) could do for Ethereum what search did for Google. It could provide a reliable, global revenue engine while staying aligned with community values. The Long-Running Tension For years, Ethereum faced a divide between apps that generated revenue and apps that fulfilled its founding ideals. High-fee activity like NFTs and memecoins brought money but little long-term value. At the same time, projects like ENS, Lens, or privacy protocols were innovative but could not sustain the wider $500 billion ecosystem. That gap left the community…

Curve DAO has voted to approve a credit line for Yield Basis, the new liquidity protocol from Curve founder Michael Egorov, clearing a governance hurdle after robust forum debate. The proposal, framed as “Ownership / crvUSD facility for Yield Basis,” passed with a wide “For” margin and substantial voter turnout, paving the way for Yield Basis to borrow 60M crvUSD to seed BTC–stable liquidity. Curve is an immutable protocol which pioneered “vote-escrow” token locking. Today most veCRV voting power is funneled through aggregator blocs, primarily Convex, the largest holder, and StakeDAO. Both of these cast votes, while a much smaller…
