The post, which has sparked debates across the crypto community, claimed that the global banking system would eventually depend on Ethereum at some point in the future. Community dismisses bold Ethereum claims The claims were made by Raoul Pal, an Ethereum advocate and macro investor. In his statement, Pal countered the viral narrative that Ethereum is dead, describing the narrative as hilarious. According to Pal, banks tend to adopt technologies with strong “Lindy…
Global stablecoin rulemaking slows, prompting BIS to urge cooperation to avoid fragmentation risks
Work on global standards for stablecoins has slowed over the past year, raising concern among central bankers that gaps in oversight could split markets and amplify risk. Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, who chairs the Financial Stability Board, said progress on international rules has stalled, Reuters reported last week. That’s a concern, Bank for International Settlements (BIS) General Manager Pablo Hernández de Cos said Monday in Japan. Global coordination is critical to avoid a patchwork of rules that firms could exploit, de Cos said, according to Reuters. Without international alignment, companies may shift operations to jurisdictions with lighter oversight,…
Bitcoin Exchanges Upbit, Bithumb, and Coinone Add This Altcoin to Their Delisting Watchlist! Here’s Why
South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, Upbit, Bithumb, and Coinone, have announced that they have added the KernelDAO (KERNEL) token to their delisting watchlist. This decision follows a joint review process aimed at enhancing investor protection. Upbit stated in its announcement that this decision was based on two main reasons. The first is a security incident or potential attack risk that occurred in the wallets or distributed ledger infrastructure managed by the project and has not yet been fully resolved. The second reason was that a comprehensive review of the project’s overall business model, sustainability, and development process revealed potential risks…

In a move that has the crypto world exhaling a collective sigh of relief, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins officially declared that the era of “regulation by enforcement” is hitting the scrap heap in favor of a proactive “ACT” strategy. Key Takeaways: SEC Chair Paul Atkins officially replaced the agency’s “regulation by enforcement” era with a new 3-pillar “ACT” strategy on April 20, 2026. The shift aims to bring crypto firms back to U.S. soil after years of offshore flight caused by regulatory opacity under previous leadership. To revitalize IPOs in 2026, the SEC is targeting high costs, vexatious litigation, and…
Coinbase, Bybit said to be working together on tokenization, custody and distribution of U.S. stocks
Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) is working with Bybit, one of the largest crypto trading platforms, to explore ways to tokenize, custody and distribute assets such as U.S. public and pre-IPO stocks, a person familiar with the plans told CoinDesk. The talks, which are ongoing, do not involve any sort of stake acquisition or similar deal for Bybit to enter the U.S., said the person, who asked to remain anonymous because they are directly involved in the discussions, dismissing a report of an investment publicized last month. It makes sense for Bybit to partner with an American company, the person said,…
Core Scientific (CORZ) is preparing to raise $3.3 billion through a junk bond sale as it continues its transition toward artificial intelligence-focused data center operations. Demand for AI services has pushed data centers, power supply and advanced chips to their limits. To keep up, firms are tapping riskier parts of the debt market for funds to keep developing their operations. Core Scientific, once a bitcoin miner, sold $175 million in bitcoin last month to further its AI pivot. Borrowers linked to AI infrastructure have raised $17.9 billion in junk bonds so far this year, Bloomberg reported. CORZ itself is building…
Ethereum is trading around $2.3k, holding near its highest levels since the February crash. Yet, there are signs of short-term fatigue after failing to sustain a breakout above the $2.4k resistance zone. The broader recovery remains intact, but the repeated failure at this ceiling is becoming a pattern that buyers will need to decisively break to shift the narrative. Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart The price is pressing against a genuinely significant confluence on the daily chart, comprised of the 100-day moving average and the $2.4k supply zone. $ETH has now closed above the long-term descending channel after months,…
Kalshi may soon be at the center of the conversation, as stock markets reached all-time highs last week, though the surge may be short-lived due to growing inflation and an impending legal dispute over prediction platforms. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite both climbed to record levels in recent days, fueled largely by investor excitement over the potential earnings boom from artificial intelligence. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged behind but remains close to its own record. Still, economists and traders are watching one number very closely right now: inflation. And what they are seeing is not encouraging. On…
Paybis, a crypto exchange and custody platform, has compiled new data showing that more than three-quarters of its Business-to-Consumer (B2C) activity is driven by returning customers, the company disclosed to Finbold on Monday, April 20. While crypto has been considered a part of the financial mainstream for several years now, debates surrounding user churn and the fleeting nature of retail participation are still persistent. The new statistics, Paybis argues, suggest the paradigm might be shifting. When it comes to Paybis specifically, 2026 marks its 12th anniversary, and nearly 7 million customers on the platform are showing a notable reversal in…
