Good Morning, Asia. Here’s what’s making news in the markets: China’s growing focus on stablecoins is less about embracing crypto and more about defending its currency from U.S. dollar dominance, says Dr. Vera Yuen of Hong Kong University’s Business School, who argues the shift highlights offshore opportunities but also deep domestic limits. Beijing’s shift comes as Washington moved first to create a regulatory framework for the stablecoin industry in the U.S. Reuters recently reported that China’s State Council is reviewing a roadmap for yuan-backed stablecoins later this month, with Hong Kong and Shanghai expected to fast-track adoption. In an earlier…

Senate Democrats unveiled their own framework for market structure legislation to define how cryptocurrencies fit into current or future regulatory frameworks in the U.S., including how the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission should oversee the digital asset sector. The lawmakers’ framework, published Tuesday, listed seven “key pillars,” including calling for fair regulation that protects consumers and investors, defining how digital assets fit into different regulators’ jurisdictions and “preventing corruption and abuse.” Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee have already released multiple drafts of their own market structure bill, which Committee Chairman Tim Scott said should be…

Bitcoin’s hash rate, which is the measure of the network’s total computational power, hit 1.12 billion TH/s on September 12, per Bitinfocharts data.

Summary Ethereum ETFs recorded net outflows of $38.2 million on September 3, marking a three-day streak of redemptions. BlackRock’s ETHA fund drove the largest outflows at $151 million, partially offset by inflows into Fidelity’s FETH, Grayscale’s spot ETH fund, and Bitwise’s ETHW. Despite recent outflows, Ethereum ETFs had previously seen six consecutive days of inflows totaling over $1.8 billion. Ethereum spot ETFs posted $38.2 million in net outflows on…

It seems likely that history will place 2025 as the year crypto went mainstream, not least thanks to the United States embracing digital assets. Re-engaging with its innovative roots, the US has launched a bid to become the “crypto capital” of the world, and as a result, we are seeing institutions becoming increasingly interested in cryptocurrencies. As several US states introduced Bitcoin reserves and the tokenized Real-World Asset (RWA) market reached $26 billion, corporations have followed, and one of the biggest trends has seen US companies allocate a percentage of their assets toward the creation of cryptocurrency treasuries. According to…

Long-term bullish sentiment for Ethereum’s price is strengthening. Samir Kerbage, chief investment officer at Hashdex, predicted in a recent investor note that ETH could head towards $10,000. Kerbage described Ethereum as “the sleeping giant of the crypto market” two years ago. Today, he says three key catalysts are converging to boost ETH’s investment appeal: staking returns, the tokenization movement, and younger generations’ interest in cryptocurrencies. “One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in crypto markets is that major transformations often take shape during seemingly calm periods,” Kerbage said, noting that ETH could rise above $10,000 with the implementation of…

A crypto strategist known for making timely altcoin calls says he’s snapping up the utility token of a supply-chain focused project.

It has now found its way back to the original accumulation…
