Market Snapshot Currently, $USDG is live on the Arbitrum network but reports no trading volume in the past 24 hours. This lack of activity underscores the need for initiatives like the Stablecoin Growth Program to stimulate engagement and trading. As the broader crypto market exhibits mixed signals, the success of this program could turn the tide for $USDG adoption, enhancing its utility and presence in the DeFi landscape. $USDG, a stablecoin from Paxos, is now operational on the Arbitrum network, which facilitates faster and cheaper transactions. The launch aims to improve integration with key partners and drive user engagement within…

The rule applies to issuers within the OCC framework, so it doesn’t provide a universal timetable for every stablecoin sale or exchange withdrawal. How the final rule changes stablecoin redemption The adopted text removed a provision that would have automatically extended stablecoin redemption to seven calendar days when demand crossed a specified threshold. Under section 15.12(d) of the OCC rule published in the Oct. 23 Federal Register, an issuer receiving stablecoin redemption requests above 10% of any brand’s outstanding issuance value in a single 24-hour period must notify its OCC supervisory office within 24 hours. The issuer can ask the…

Today’s computers cannot realistically work backward from those public keys to discover the corresponding private keys. But sufficiently advanced quantum computers running a mathematical technique called Shor’s algorithm could potentially crack that protection. The Quantum Alliance estimates that approximately 6.04 million to 6.4 million $BTC are already exposed in this way, representing roughly 30% of Bitcoin’s total supply. An estimated 1.1 million $BTC associated with Satoshi Nakamoto’s early holdings fall within the broader discussion of potentially vulnerable coins. That doesn’t mean anyone can steal those funds today. The danger depends on quantum computers becoming powerful and reliable enough to break…

Tokenization could free up tens of billions of dollars in capital tied up in assets used as collateral across the global financial system, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman said. Tokenizing assets such as Treasurys, equities and money market funds, along with the flow of money, could make collateral “very fluid,” Friedman told CNBC at TOKEN2049 in Singapore. Find out how tokenization can drive the shift towards fully 24/7 markets: https://t.co/lknPPO8InI — CNBC (@CNBC) October 11, 2026 This increasing institutional interest is meeting demand from retail investors, who have long desired the ability to trade around the clock, Friedman added, saying the…

“Most people hadn’t really researched it fully, and even clients would ask me, ‘Hey, what should I do with this stuff? Should I get into it?’” he recalled. “And I would say: If you have a spare thousand dollars and you want to buy a coin, go ahead.” Asked about its future, his answer then was straightforward: “Honestly, I didn’t really know.” Today, he sees a different proposition. “I think bitcoin probably has more of a commodity feel now, but that being said, it’s obviously been proven to increase substantially in value,” Donalds said. “For the people who got in…

The aim is to manage mining facilities with different hardware and software infrastructures through a single program. The company stated that MDK will enable developers to create mining management systems that leverage artificial intelligence technologies. These systems are designed to continuously monitor mining equipment, identify potential technical problems, and optimize device performance. They also aim to manage mining operations more efficiently by automating various operational tasks. The companies participating in the project plan to undertake the development and maintenance of functions that will enable existing mining equipment to operate compatibly with the MDK infrastructure. Thus, it is envisioned that mining…

The appeal of after-hours trading is easy to understand. In the past six months, we’ve seen some of the most influential and consequential announcements and decisions happen after market close, ranging from offhand comments from the US President to Nvidia earnings. You might have an opinion about what semiconductor stocks will do when trading resumes, and you’d rather back it immediately than wait until morning. There’s a complication, though. When you trade a stock or an index of stocks whose primary market is closed, you’re trading an estimate of what those stocks are worth. That estimate isn’t necessarily the price…

To participate in the giveaway, attendees must present a screen within the Rakuten Wallet application confirming their $SHIB holdings to the exchange’s staff at the booth. Rakuten Wallet indicated that all who meet this requirement will receive a giveaway item, with no stated exceptions. Physical $SHIB coins and previous events The commemorative $SHIB coins being distributed are physical metal souvenirs and do not have a technical link to the Shiba Inu blockchain. Rakuten Wallet first launched these coins earlier this year, introducing what it described as the world’s first physical Shiba Inu coin featuring a sandblasted—also known as blast finish—design.…

A Phrase That Was Not in Last Year’s Document To see what changed, you have to read the year-ago edition against this one. The FY2026 priorities, published in November 2025 under the same chairman, made no standalone mention of cryptocurrency or digital assets, and its technology section spoke of “AI” and “artificial intelligence” — automated investment tools, trading algorithms, and what the agency called misrepresentations of a firm’s AI capabilities. The FY2027 version swaps that vocabulary for a sharper term: “super intelligence,” or SI. The release names it plainly among the eight priority areas: “Emerging technologies, including super intelligence and…

Santiment also noted that the decline in the cryptocurrency market was not limited to digital assets. According to the platform’s data, since September 22, Bitcoin has lost approximately 6.5% of its value, while gold has fallen by between 4% and 5%. The decline in the S&P 500 index, however, remained at around 0.3%. Bitcoin Whales Have Accumulated Over 85,000 $BTC One of the most striking pieces of data in Santiment’s analysis was the purchases made by large Bitcoin investors. According to the platform, investors holding between 10 and 10,000 $BTC in their wallets have accumulated a total of 85,916 $BTC…
