That’s because $USDC is fungible: every $USDC is as equal and interchangeable with every other $USDC. However, Europe is now considering whether that should continue. The Fight, in Plain Terms Under Europe’s crypto law, MiCA, a stablecoin issuer needs an EU license. Circle got one through a French entity in 2024, but also issues $USDC from the US, outside MiCA’s reach. $USDC stays “global” because French- and US-issued tokens are treated as identical. Meanwhile,…

Bitcoin’s rejection from $65,239 keeps the short-term outlook under pressure, with support levels at $63,268, $62,180 and the $60,000-$61,000 region. $BTC could first rebound toward the $67,000-$68,000 monthly imbalance zone, but failure to reclaim higher resistance would preserve the bearish scenario. Bitcoin Reversal From $65,239 Keeps Lower Targets in Focus Bitcoin reached the chart’s preferred upside target near $65,239 before reversing sharply on the one-hour timeframe.

$NEAR has started rebuilding its security model for a future where quantum computers could defeat signature systems used across crypto today. The work began in Q2 2026, according to Anton Astafiev, CTO at Near One, and Mally Anderson, a writer at $NEAR. The initial modification included ML-DSA or “Dilithium” to the protocol. Users will be able to store and grant permission to their assets using quantum-safe keys. This protection also extends to assets issued on other blockchains using Chain Signatures and $NEAR intents. The Meteor Wallet already supports this solution. Ledger and other wallet developers continue integrating it. Anton and…

A recent study from Seoul National University (SNU) sheds light on why South Korea has repeatedly postponed the taxation of virtual assets, suggesting that concerns about system readiness—rather than public opinion—were the primary driver. The research, published in the June edition of the Korean Political Studies journal, analyzed the decision-making processes behind four major tax policy changes under the current administration, with the digital asset tax standing out as a case where policy outcomes diverged sharply from popular sentiment. Policy Decisions vs. Public Opinion The study, conducted by the Institute of Korean Political Studies, examined the government’s approach to the…
