US Fed Alerted On Payment Stablecoins

In a letter to the US SEC, Patrick McHenry, the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, along with two others, stated that there was a need to provide regulatory certainty for payment stablecoins and the broader Crypto Market. McHenry has long been a pro-crypto lawmaker with special focus on regulation of payment stablecoins.

According to the letter, which was cosigned by lawmakers French Hill and Bill Huizenga, the Fed’s recent supervision and regulation letters named ‘Creation of Novel Activities Supervision Program’ and ‘Supervisory Nonobjection Process for State Member Banks Seeking to Engage in Certain Activities Involving Dollar Tokens’ came in the way of the Congress’ efforts to bring in a payment stablecoin regulatory regime.

The lawmakers effectively allege that the Fed programs are designed to impose new regulatory burdens on banking institutions to engage with crypto assets and to provide the Fed with additional tools to deny crypto related activities. They also raised a question on the role of state banking regulator in permitting the payment stablecoin activities.

Ethereum (ETH)-Based DeFi Protocol Altcoin Dolomite (DOLO) Rises and Falls Following Binance Listing

An Ethereum (ETH)-based decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoin is displaying volatility after gaining support from Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange platform by volume. In a new press release, Binance says that the cross-chain DeFi protocol Dolomite (DOLO) – which offers its products across the ETH, Arbitrum (ARB) and Berachain (BERA) blockchains – will be added to its suite of crypto products. “Binance is excited to announce that Dolomite will be added to Binance Simple Earn, ‘Buy Crypto,’ Binance Convert and Binance Margin.” News of the addition preceded price swings for the asset, as it went from an August 26th low of $0.229 to a peak of $0.301 just a day later. However, DOLO subsequently plunged down to $0.193. It has since stabilized and is trading for $0.239 at time of writing, a 21.2% decrease during the last 24 hours. In its official whitepaper, the development team behind the project says its goal is to create a ful...

From Farms to Hubs: The Expanding DeFi Universe

From Farms to Hubs: The Expanding DeFi Universe! When you first heard of decentralized finance (DeFi), you m ay have imagined yield farmers donning digital overalls, poring over liquidity pools, and harvesting tokens like cryptocurrency corn. But today’s DeFi is no longer just about farming—it’s evolving into a sophisticated network of integrated liquidity hubs, cross-chain ecosystems, and modular finance structures. Let’s roll up our sleeves and dive into this evolution—from the era of yield farming to the rise of high-functioning DeFi hubs. 1. Harvesting the Yield: The Farming Era In the beginning, DeFi’s allure was simple and seductive: supply crypto assets, earn rewards. That’s the essence of yield farming —users provide liquidity or stake tokens in protocols to generate yield. At its core, you deposit tokens into a liquidity pool (e.g., the Uniswap ETH/USDC pool). That pool enables trades, and you earn a share of fees plus any extra incentives. Add the token-reward layer (...

Ripple to unlock 1 billion XRP today — what to expect?

Ripple’s escrow program, set in motion in 2017, sees up to 1 billion XRP unlocked on the first day of each month, with unused tokens typically re-escrowed.  Today, September 1, is no exception, with Ripple unlocking around $2.76 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (approximately 1.68% of the total supply). However, if the historical pattern continues, we’ll most likely see around 700 million tokens re-escrowed, meaning the effective net addition will be closer to 300 million XRP, valued near $861 million (some 0.50% of the supply). Ripple September XRP unlock August marked a rare deviation in Ripple’s escrow schedule when the standard 1 billion XRP release failed to appear on-chain. The uncertainty ended on August 9, when three separate escrow releases (500 million, 100 million, and 400 million XRP) were executed in quick succession and flagged by Whale Alert. In anticipation of the September release, the market was speculating whether the government mi...
