Stablecoin's Power Play

The GENIUS Act is barreling toward a Senate vote—and if it passes, the U.S. could end up writing the global rulebook for stablecoins.

It's not just a win for the Trump admin or the crypto lobby. If this thing goes through, we're talking real regulatory clarity, stronger dollar dominance, and a serious blueprint for the future of the digital economy.

Bold Calls, Zero Regrets: Hayes Owns His Bitcoin Bets

Arthur Hayes doesn't care if his Bitcoin calls flop—and honestly, that's kind of his superpower.

The BitMEX co-founder knows his forecasts can miss the mark, but in his own words, "I don't know why people are hesitant to do it; it doesn't really matter at the end of the day."

JPMorgan's Base Jump

JPMorgan just launched JPMD on Base, with Coinbase as the testbed.

The mission: prove deposit tokens can outplay stablecoins in real-world use. TradFi is getting crypto-native—and Base is quickly becoming its launchpad of choice.

The CFTC Can't Keep Up

Everyone wants the CFTC to step up as crypto's top cop—but there's a problem. The agency's running low on leadership, with key commissioner seats unfilled and more departures looming. Without a full bench, any big regulatory swing—like the Clarity Act—could get stuck in limbo.

OPINION

TradFi's Liquidity Illusion

Crypto may be decentralized, but it's still flirting with TradFi—and that comes with baggage. Liquidity looks good on the surface, but peel it back and you'll see a lot of smoke and mirrors. It's a hidden weakness—and all it takes is one market tremor to break it.
