Crypto
AI Summary
- Regulatory gears are grinding, with the SEC dropping its case against Gemini and lawmakers in the US grappling with ethics amendments for crypto bills, while Europe sees exchanges like Binance hustling for MiCA licenses.
- Bitcoin's market momentum is shaky, with prices sliding, some analysts calling an "early bear phase," and traditional assets like gold and silver currently outpacing digital assets.
- Institutional players are still making moves; UBS is exploring crypto for private clients, Binance is bringing back tokenized equities, and Grayscale is even pushing for a BNB ETF, indicating broader product development.
- Stablecoins are gaining traction as a vital tool for remittances, especially in Africa, though a significant portion of their massive transaction volume isn't yet tied to everyday "real world" payments.
- Security concerns and the path to public markets are in focus, with the Ethereum Foundation tackling post-quantum threats, and major crypto infrastructure firms like Ledger and CertiK planning high-profile IPOs.
