At $10 billion outstanding with no non-reserve revenue, the baseline issuance portion would be $200 million. This second hypothetical remains entirely in the first band. Both calculations are hypothetical. The Fed also proposes a loss scalar that can move the operational-risk charge up or down in response to realized losses. An individual issuer’s operating-risk charge would also reflect the loss adjustment; its total capital requirement could include other components. Capital and stablecoin reserves serve different purposes. The Fed would require covered issuers to keep eligible reserve assets with a fair value at least equal to the par value of their…

The report doesn’t establish a deal with Tether, and the initiative hasn’t been announced as an operating program. But Tether is central to understanding why a proposal like this would appeal to Washington. By the company’s account, $USDT represented more than 60% of the stablecoin market at the end of June. Its latest reserve report listed $114.96 billion in directly held US Treasury bills. That makes Tether a leading private distributor of digital dollars and a large customer for short-term American debt. The dollar’s global position still rests on a much larger financial system. Tether’s particular contribution is extending that…

Among five wallets Nansen examined, one was sitting on a roughly $199,000 total loss after realising $171,000 and holding another $27,900 in unrealised losses. Another that bought about 28,400 LAPTOP without selling was down roughly $118,000. One address that bought about 49,700 LAPTOP was sitting on roughly $13,000 in unrealised profit at the time of the snapshot. Nansen put LAPTOP at roughly a $720 million market capitalisation and a $2.1 billion fully diluted valuation even after the fall. Those figures flatter newly launched tokens, because small trades in thin liquidity move the quoted price a long way. As such, LAPTOP’s…

The implementation, however, was missing a critical verification. Zano disclosed that an attacker could construct a specially calculated asset identifier that still satisfied the network’s transaction proofs while slipping an arbitrary amount into a hidden output. “In short, every Zano transaction must prove that coins were created from consensus rules,” the team explained. “Because of a missing verification, an attacker could satisfy this proof while ‘hiding’ extra coins within the transaction.” Those coins weren’t decorative accounting entries. The team said: “These coins functioned as authentic $ZANO and could be spent normally.” The First Mint Sat Quietly for Nearly a Month…

The transactions by themselves don’t offer much proof of impending selling pressure unless the coins later arrive at an exchange or another recognizable liquidity venue. However, given that Bitcoin is currently trading close to $80,000 following a dramatic rebound, the timing merits consideration. According to the daily chart, Bitcoin is currently trading at about $79,850 after momentarily rising above $81,000. With the 20-day average close to $75,116, the 200-day average around $72,637, and longer intermediate averages between $69,000 and $70,000, the asset is still comfortably above its major moving averages. After the quick advance, momentum has somewhat subsided. Momentum is…

Why Are FIIs Still Selling Indian Stocks? Despite Wall Street’s positive outlook on the Indian stock market, foreign investors are still moving their funds out of the country. In September, FPIs have pulled out ₹20,974 crore from Indian equities as of September 19. This comes after investing ₹20,200 crore in July and ₹29,630 crore in August. As of September 24, FIIs recorded ₹14,837 crore of net selling in the NSE cash market. On September 24 alone, they dumped about ₹5,027 crore, while domestic institutional investors bought ₹4,301 crore. Thus, the increasing selling activity of foreign investors reveals that their approach…

The escalation matters far beyond geopolitics as Brent crude climbed toward $100 per barrel again amid renewed concerns about energy supplies. Higher oil prices can directly feed into inflation, making the Federal Reserve’s decision next week even harder. The US central bank has become another issue for $BTC. Chair Kevin Warsh adopted a distinctly more hawkish tone at Jackson Hole last week, emphasizing that inflation remains too high and that the Fed could still have “work to do.” The odds for a September rate hike jumped after the speech and went even higher after Friday’s jobs report. It showed that…
