According to PANews, Visa's head of crypto business, Cuy Sheffield, has announced the company's efforts to integrate stablecoins into its existing payment systems to maintain its market leadership. Sheffield acknowledged the current lack of a large-scale merchant acceptance network for stablecoins, emphasizing the need for Visa's channels to facilitate user adoption. Visa's stablecoin settlement volume has reached an annualized run rate of $4.5 billion, showing significant monthly growth. The demand primarily comes from providers of payment cards linked to stablecoins. Sheffield expressed optimism about the development of euro stablecoins, in light of institutions like Goldman Sachs, UBS, and European banks planning to issue their own stablecoins.#Visa #Stablecoins #PaymentSystems #CryptoBusiness #MarketLeadership #PaymentCards #EuroStablecoins #GoldmanSachs #UBS #EuropeanBanks #Cryptocurrency

According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee has postponed its scheduled markup of a crypto market structure bill, originally set for Thursday, due to ongoing negotiations. Committee Chairman Tim Scott announced late Wednesday in Washington, DC, that the delay is necessary to continue bipartisan discussions aimed at securing broader support for the legislation. Scott emphasized the collaborative efforts involved, stating, "I’ve spoken with leaders across the crypto industry, the financial sector, and my Democratic and Republican colleagues, and everyone remains at the table working in good faith." He highlighted that the bill is the result of extensive bipartisan negotiations and incorporates feedback from various stakeholders, including innovators, investors, and law enforcement. The primary objective is to establish clear regulations that protect consumers, enhance national security, and ensure the future of finance is developed within the United States.
The decision to delay follows a similar move by the Senate Agriculture Committee, which also postponed its markup of the crypto bill, initially planned for Thursday, to the end of the month. Republican Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman explained that the committee needs additional time to finalize the remaining details and secure the widespread support necessary for the legislation. This series of postponements underscores the complexity and significance of the proposed crypto regulations, as lawmakers strive to balance innovation with consumer protection and national security concerns. The ongoing negotiations reflect the commitment to crafting a comprehensive framework that addresses the diverse interests and challenges associated with the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.#USSenate #CryptoBill #CryptoRegulations #BipartisanSupport #TimScott #ConsumerProtection #NationalSecurity #Finance #CryptoIndustry #Legislation #SenateBankingCommittee #JohnBoozman #CryptoMarket #FinancialSector #Lawmakers #CryptoNegotiations

Kashkari expressed optimism about the U.S. economic outlook, predicting continued growth and noting that inflation is moving in the right direction. He highlighted signs of cooling in housing prices. On monetary policy, he dismissed the notion that the recent expansion of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet equates to a new round of quantitative easing, emphasizing the importance of central bank independence. Regarding tariffs, he stated that their impact has not been as severe as anticipated, although the long-term effects remain to be seen.#FederalReserve #NeelKashkari #Cryptocurrency #ArtificialIntelligence #USEconomicOutlook #Inflation #MonetaryPolicy #QuantitativeEasing #CentralBankIndependence #HousingPrices #Tariffs

🚀 Arthur Hayes: Bitcoin Poised to Rally in 2026 as Dollar Liquidity Expands
#ArthurHayes #Bitcoin #rally2026 #dollarliquidity #FederalReserve #banklending #mortgagerates #crypto #scarceassets #BTC #monetaryhedge #financialsystem #liquidityexpansion #balanceSheet
Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin could enter a powerful new rally phase in 2026 as U.S. dollar liquidity expands across the financial system.In his latest essay, Hayes argues that a combination of Federal Reserve balance sheet growth, renewed bank lending, and falling mortgage rates will inject fresh liquidity into markets — a macro backdrop that has historically favored Bitcoin and other scarce assets.According to Hayes, even without aggressive interest-rate cuts, liquidity can still rise through indirect channels. He points to:Fed balance sheet expansion via liquidity facilities and asset reinvestmentIncreased bank credit creation as financial conditions easeLower mortgage rates, which free up household and institutional capitalHayes notes that Bitcoin tends to respond less to headline rate decisions and more to net liquidity conditions, positioning BTC as a prime beneficiary if dollar supply continues to grow.He concludes that if liquidity expansion accelerates into 2026, Bitcoin could outperform traditional risk assets, reinforcing its role as a monetary hedge in a system increasingly reliant on balance sheet support rather than tight policy discipline.#ArthurHayes #Bitcoin #rally2026 #dollarliquidity #FederalReserve #banklending #mortgagerates #crypto #scarceassets #BTC #monetaryhedge #financialsystem #liquidityexpansion #balanceSheet

🚀 UK Central Bank Considers Deposit Protection for Stablecoins
#UK #BankOfEngland #Stablecoins #DepositProtection #CentralBank #Regulation #Cryptocurrency #FinancialSafety #PublicTrust #BankDepositInsurance
According to PANews, the Bank of England's Deputy Governor, Dave Ramsden, has indicated that the UK may need to provide a protection mechanism for stablecoin deposits similar to that of bank deposits. Ramsden highlighted the central bank's consideration of maintaining public trust in currency in the event of a collapse of a systemically important stablecoin. He suggested that long-term trust in stablecoins might require a plan akin to bank deposit insurance, ensuring stablecoin holders have priority creditor status in bankruptcy proceedings.
Ramsden's comments suggest that the Bank of England might extend current bank deposit protection measures to widely used stablecoins. The central bank has already increased the protection limit for regular cash deposits from £85,000 to £120,000 to safeguard against bank failures. The Bank of England plans to implement stablecoin regulatory rules by the end of the year.#UK #BankOfEngland #Stablecoins #DepositProtection #CentralBank #Regulation #Cryptocurrency #FinancialSafety #PublicTrust #BankDepositInsurance
