- The Financial Stability Board (FSB) warns of a crypto “tipping point” as stablecoins like Tether and USDC influence U.S. Treasury yields and challenge global monetary stability.
- Tether expands its influence by acquiring a 33% stake in gold royalty firm Elemental and signals strategic positioning in gold, Bitcoin, and U.S. Treasuries as a financial trifecta.
- Marty Bent’s “Opportunity Cost” browser extension reframes fiat prices into Bitcoin and sats, encouraging economic mindfulness and shifting consumer perspective.
- Lightspark launches Spark, a new Bitcoin Layer 2 using state chains, enabling off-chain transfers of BTC and stablecoins—potentially threatening TradFi with decentralized scalability.
- Multiple corporations—RemixPoint, Mercurity, and F Street—announce new Bitcoin treasury strategies, intensifying the trend of corporate BTC accumulation amid dollar debasement and rate uncertainty.
