Bitcoin's Role in DeFi Is 'Untapped Opportunity,' Binance Research Says
Bitcoin's (BTC) role in decentralized finance (DeFi) is growing as the world's largest cryptocurrency evolves from more than just a store of value, Binance Research said in a report Thursday.
The Bitcoin network is "evolving into a broader decentralized finance ecosystem with the emergence of Bitcoin DeFi," analyst Moulik Nagesh wrote.

Gold Jumps to New Record, for Now Winning Debate Against Bitcoin As Risk-Off Asset
After the meekest of rallies yesterday following some soft inflation numbers, U.S. stocks Thursday are once again headed sharply lower and apparently pulling bitcoin (BTC) along for the ride.
Just ahead of the noon hour on the east coast, the Nasdaq is lower by 1.7% and the S&P 500 by 1.2% After pushing to nearly $85,000 on Wednesday, bitcoin has retreated all the way back to $81,000, off 1% over the past 24 hours.

U.S. Senate Takes First Big Step to Advance Stablecoin Bill
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee has advanced the crypto industry's stablecoin regulation bill, a first major step toward getting the effort to President Donald Trump's desk to be signed into law.
With its first committee approval, the bill that would regulate U.S. stablecoin issuers at the federal level now needs passage by the overall Senate, and a similar version also awaits approval in the House of Representatives.

Crypto for Advisors: Memcoins
Memecoins have been in the news lately, primarily driven by the launch of the President’s $Trump coin. Recently, the U.S. SEC clarified that, for the most part, memecoins are not securities as they don’t meet the Howey test. That doesn’t mean clients won’t be asking questions about these assets, though.
So in today’s crypto for advisors, Janine Grainger from New Zealand-based Easy Crypto provides a breakdown of what memecoins are, how they work and the risks associated with them.

The State of DAO M&A
In late 2021, two DeFi DAOs — Fei Protocol and Rari Capital — embarked on what was supposed to be a transformative merger. The idea was simple: Fei, with its algorithmic stablecoin, would join forces with Rari, a pioneer in permissionless lending pools, to create a DeFi powerhouse governed by a single DAO. Their communities approved the merger with overwhelming support, and in December, Tribe DAO was born.
Nine months later, it was dead.

Crypto's IRS Victory Reveals Reach in Congress That Demands Less Compromise
U.S. crypto lobbyists watched with excitement in recent days as a pair of votes cemented what they'd hoped: Congress is on their side.
The industry that battled with pariah status just three years ago has staunch allies now in the White House and inside the U.S. financial agencies, and the recent votes in the Senate and House of Representatives on an Internal Revenue Service rule demonstrate that their support among lawmakers runs deep. So many Democrats joined the sector's reliable Republican

No, the Stablecoin Bill Isn't Built for Billionaires
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA-D) recently sounded the alarm over new proposals on stablecoin legislation, claiming they’d give Elon Musk a “clear runway” to control U.S. money and payments.
If that sounds overly-dramatic, it’s because it is.
Here's what these bills actually do: the GENIUS Act and the STABLE Act aim to create responsible guardrails for stablecoins, ensuring consumer protection and financial stability while encouraging innovation. Far from handing the keys to a single billionaire, t

Stablecoins Are a Vital Innovation That Risk Being Crushed By Misguided Fear
Imagine a world where every dollar you spend is tracked, approved, or denied in real time by a government agency. You attempt to send money to a friend for a political donation, but the transaction is blocked because the recipient is on a government “watch list.” You buy a book critical of a powerful politician and your account is flagged for review.
