Europe wants to turn Digital Euro (CBDC) into a stablecoin

news.ycombinator.com Anton Golub 2025-09-23 22:45:34

Europe had first-mover advantage with stablecoins. Then killed stablecoins with regulatory madness: - No yield - €200M/day issuance cap - 60% reserves stuck in weak EU banks Outcome? € stablecoins = $500 million USD stablecoins = $265 billion That’s 500x difference! Tether exited EU. Circle pivoted to USDC. No one wants to build on broken rails. Now ECB wants to “tokenize” Digital Euro on-chain. Digital Euro is a CBDC… But ECB wants to make Digital Euro a stablecoin. Public chains

Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin, has named a CEO for its U.S. business and is launching a new token for U.S. institutions. The moves underscore Tether's commitment to regulatory engagement and entry into the U.S. The company, once accused of being a criminal's "go-to cryptocurrency" has been rebranding itself as a partner to American lawmakers and law enforcement since pro-crypto President Donald Trump's return to the White House.

The Loophole Turning Stablecoins Into a Trillion-Dollar Fight

wired.com Adam Willems 2025-10-13 16:00:00

On July 18, after more than a decade of legal uncertainty, US lawmakers finally brought part of the crypto industry into the regulatory fold. The newly signed Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act requires issuers of stablecoins—cryptocurrencies that claim a value tied to a more stable asset—to fully back their tokens with cash or short-term Treasury bonds, submit to audits, and follow anti-money laundering rules, among other conditions.

Bitcoin bucks stock market downtrend but lags gold rally

The moves came amid a sell-off in stocks and a jump in bond yields, which were triggered by concerns — which first emerged late on Friday ahead of the extended holiday weekend — on the legality of President Donald Trump's global tariffs and the prospect that the U.S. may have to repay money already received . The price of so-called digital gold rose as much as 2% to reclaim the $111,000 level after dropping over the weekend to a low last seen in July. Spot gold hovered around $3,500 after surpa

Probability of typing a wrong Bitcoin address

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-20 06:28:50

I heard someone say that Bitcoin is dangerous because you could easily make a typo when entering an address, sending money to the wrong person, and have no recourse. There are dangers associated with Bitcoin, such as losing a private key, but address typos are not a major concern. Checksums There are several kinds of Bitcoin addresses. Each is at least 20 bytes (160 bits) long, with at least 4 bytes (32 bits) of checksum. The chances of a typo resulting in a valid checksum are about 1 in 232.

Gavin Newsom’s Bizarro-Trump Schtick Gets Even Weirder With a Memecoin

Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, has spent recent weeks mimicking Donald Trump’s style online. Newsom’s team is filling his social media channels with all-caps screeds and vainglorious pronouncements that sound like the president, even rolling out merchandise like red hats that say “Newsom Was Right About Everything.” The strategy has been polarizing, to say the least, with some people embracing Newsom’s approach as a fun attack on Trump, while others say it’s an unnecessary

Kanye West (or Ye, as he’s known now) last week announced his first foray into the cryptocurrency industry with what his X account said was a new memecoin, YZY. “The official Yeezy token just dropped,” said a bored-looking West in a video posted on his X account. This, in and of itself, was somewhat bizarre (West had previously sworn off memecoins) and some web users speculated that the video may have been AI-generated.

Bitcoin Flash Crash Roils Crypto Market

Crypto prices dipped Monday following a so-called flash crash of Bitcoin on Sunday. And while Ethereum dipped as well, the second most popular cryptocurrency is still up significantly on the month. Bitcoin’s weekend crash is being blamed on a single whale who sold 24,000 Bitcoin, according to crypto watchers on X. Bitcoin’s most recent peak hit $117,370 on Friday, not too far from the all-time high of $124,500. But Bitcoin is currently sitting at $112,660, well below recent highs. “Bitcoin fla
