At the center of the proposal is a ban on offering yield — or anything resembling it like rewards — on stablecoin balances.

This is because the proposal…

Speaking live on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Scott said, “The gold move thing, things have gotten a little unruly in China. They’re having to tighten margin requirements. So gold looks to me kind of like a classical, speculative blowoff.” That was his way of saying the spike and sudden fall had little to do with demand and everything to do with panic buying by leveraged traders. The rally in precious metals had been driven by fears about global conflicts, loose…
