Tether, the powerhouse behind the world’s largest stablecoin by trading volume, USDT, has unveiled a strategic plan to expand its presence in the US market, a landscape that has evolved significantly under the Trump administration. With the recent enactment of the GENIUS Act, which establishes a new regulatory framework for stablecoins and cryptocurrency firms issuing dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies, Tether is eager to capitalize on these developments. Tether’s US Market Comeback In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, reaffirmed the firm’s plans to launch a new token, USAT, designed to comply with US regulations. Central to Tether’s strategy …

The Bitcoin community is again locked in a heated debate following reports that developer Luke Dashjr, creator of the Bitcoin Knots client, is exploring the possibility of a hard fork to remove illicit data from the blockchain. At the heart of the controversy are leaked discussions suggesting Dashjr has considered a framework where a select quorum of signers could retroactively redact blockchain entries using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). The aim, according to these reports, would be to filter objectionable or illegal non-financial data embedded in Bitcoin’s immutable ledger, while preserving valid transaction history.

Rumors are spreading fast in the crypto world after a supposed leaked NDA linked Ripple to big names like Trump, BlackRock, and JPMorgan. According to a post by Stellar Rippler on X, the XRP Ledger may have ties to projects that connect digital identity, healthcare, and global settlement systems. At the same time, BlackRock’s new ETF, Trump’s healthcare policy moves, and JPMorgan’s focus on digital identity appear to fit into the same plan. Leaked NDA Reveals Digital Identity And Healthcare Links To XRPL The story began when an ex-banker using the alias @LordBelgrave claimed he had leaked one of Ripple’s NDAs with UBS. Most of the details were already in circulation, but…

Russia has reiterated its firm stance on crypto, drawing a clear distinction between digital assets and traditional currency. While global debate continues over whether crypto can coexist with national currencies, Russian lawmakers are reinforcing a long-held view. Inside the country, payments remain the sole domain of the ruble. The position comes as crypto usage grows worldwide and as Russia experiments with alternative settlement tools for cross-border trade under pressure from sanctions. At the center of the latest comments is Anatoly Aksakov, chair of the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets and a key figure behind Russia’s crypto legislation. Speaking to sta…

According to statements reported by Russian news agencies, Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets, said cryptocurrencies “will never become money” in Russia and should be treated only as investment instruments. He said that where a payment is required, it must be made in Russian rubles. Ruble Remains Sole Payment Unit Based on reports, that stance matches existing law. A 2020 federal law on digital financial assets defines digital currency as something different from Russia’s monetary unit and bars its use as a means of payment inside the country. The law treats tokens and classic cryptocurrencies as property or investment items rathe…

VTB, Russia’s second-largest bank, has told clients it plans to let them buy and sell real cryptocurrencies through its brokerage service, with a target rollout in 2026 pending regulator approval. According to the bank, the move would go beyond the derivative products that most Russian banks have offered so far. It is a clear shift toward opening traditional finance to digital assets, at least for now among wealthy clients. Client Eligibility And Timetable Reports have disclosed that VTB intends to begin with high-net-worth customers only. The bank set thresholds for its initial offering: clients with assets above $1.3 million or annual income over $649,000 would be el…

Russia has officially unveiled a sweeping legal framework to integrate crypto into its foreign trade system, a move widely seen as a direct response to mounting Western sanctions. The Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank have agreed to legalize crypto settlements for international trade, allowing Russian exporters and importers to transact in Bitcoin and other digital assets. This follows an experimental legal regime introduced in September, which tested crypto use for cross-border settlements. Russia Moves to Legalize Crypto for International Trade Under the new Russian policy, all crypto transactions for foreign trade will be processed through regulated channe…

Sberbank, Russia’s largest state-owned bank, wants to officially step into crypto by offering custody services for digital assets. This comes as the country softens its stance on crypto use at home, especially as traditional financial channels get squeezed by international sanctions. The bank is hoping to take on a bigger role in storing Bitcoin and other tokens for Russian customers, instead of leaving that job to foreign players. Building a Digital Vault Sberbank has sent a detailed proposal to regulators asking for permission to act as a custodian for crypto. That means it could legally hold customer digital assets the same way it holds cash and securities. The plan o…

Russia just went beast mode on Bitcoin crypto mining. In just six months, registered mining firms skyrocketed from 91 to over 1,000. This explosive growth follows new energy-use regulations that force large-scale operations to go legit or risk getting shut down. And it’s not just some made-up story for show, Russia’s cashing in big. The state could rake in up to $700 million annually in taxes, all while holding down the #2 spot globally in BTC ▼-2.92% hashrate. With AI investments and tighter rules, the game is only heating up.

A month ago, on August 19, we expected a US stock market reversal based on the completion of five DeMark sequences. However, that reversal didn't materialize—there was only a five-day correction. Now, however, we've encountered six sequences, marked by the number "9" on the daily chart. Given today's complex monetary policy decision, the Fed faces, the chances of a significant S&P 500 decline are even higher. Visually, the market could fall into the 5916–5973 range, a zone it traded in from mid-May to mid-June before resuming its uptrend. Another reference point is the simple moving average (SMA) with a period of 233, which currently lies just above that zone. The M…

If anyone believes in symbols, now is the time to sell the S&P 500. Shares of Cisco, a leader among Internet companies in the 1990s, have returned to their record levels. Its collapse became emblematic of the dot-com bubble. Since then, the stock has struggled to recover, and only in 2025 did it find its moment again. The fundamental valuation of today's tech companies is as high as that of their predecessors. Will history repeat itself, causing the broad stock index to plunge into another wave of sell-offs?

Markets climb ahead of crucial inflation reportOn Tuesday, the MSCI global equity index edged higher, the US dollar strengthened, and Treasury yields moved upward as investors awaited key inflation figures. The cautious optimism followed a significant revision of US employment statistics. Labor market growth revised downwardThe US Department of Labor announced that for the 12 months ending in March, the economy generated 911 thousand fewer jobs than previously estimated. Analysts note that the slowdown in hiring began even before President Donald Trump introduced aggressive import tariffs.

The wealth effect. When the stock market rises, Americans who own equities feel great. They spend more, stimulating the economy. Conversely, a drop in the S&P 500 dampens investor sentiment. Spending goes down, GDP growth slows. In this regard, the broad stock index's break from its three-week winning streak is a troubling sign. Consumer sentiment is shifting The US stock market has reached a turning point. While Goldman Sachs insists that the balance of risks still favors the "bulls," the Federal Reserve's expected monetary easing, the cyclical upswing in US GDP growth, and the boom in artificial intelligence investment remain powerful drivers of the S&P 500 …

Yesterday's CPI report fueled even more fire to the ongoing relentless rally in US Equities. Up a respective 46% and 34% from their Liberation Day lows, both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 keep beating expectations. The fundamental background has been solid: Despite trading at high multiples to their EPS, Stock components of the indices have shown more than tenacious results and earnings growth. Supplemented by the ongoing AI Boom that started the rally after the 2022 bear market, Equities are discarding the effect of tariffs (which don't seem to be scaring markets too much anymore), not even counting the pricing of rate cuts, while Participants are increasingly unfazed by…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for October 1st The US government shutdown officially kicked in, but beyond a brief selloff in the US Dollar — which stopped well short of breaking any key levels — markets have largely brushed it aside: US equities reversed early weakness seen in futures and at the open, with both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 climbing to fresh all-time highs by the close. In commodities, gold extended its rally, coming within just $5 of the $3,900 mark in yet another push toward uncharted territory. With the dollar under pressure but not yet cracking, and risk assets pushing higher, investors seem willing to ignore Washington headlin…

US Indices, which have started the day mixed, have appreciated this morning’s JOLTS report. The data came out better than expected, with 7,391M Job Openings vs 7,200 Expected, a rise of 191,000 on the month. This data set is still proving the strength of US Data amid geopolitical uncertainties. Sentiment is positive throughout markets as gold did not maintain yesterday’s momentum, and indices are green all around. Let’s look at the S&P 500 intra-day charts, as prices are less than 30 points from the 6,000 level.

Stock markets this week have been on a frenzy, with Nasdaq leading the US Indices to new all-times on Wednesday and the S&P 500 (futures, cash is opening in a few minutes) are joining its tech-focused collegue. Core PCE numbers did not come as good as expected with 2.7% vs 2.6% (Core m/m 0.2% vs +0.15% exp) – The jump is overall not so aggravating but it's one of the first negative surprises that markets are seeing for US Inflation since Trump got elected. Markets are awaiting and getting a few good news on the US trade deals – The latest is the White House announcing that the July 9 is in the end not too important, and Trump mentioning the completion of a Deal with…

Markets just received the report for the monthly ISM Services PMI report, and despite a beat on the Global PMI report (55.1 vs 54.6 expected – less Market-moving), the more influent Services data missed by a decent margin. The data came in at 50.1, just at the brink of contraction territory and with the 51.5 consensus, Equity markets have started to show some signs of retraction. Reactions also point to some selling in the US Dollar after temporarily breaching the 99.00 handle – The DXY now trades back into the high 98.00 territory. We'll be taking a look at S&P 500 charts to see what's into play as the US Dollar and US Equity correlation is growing again. Read…

U.S. stock indexes turned negative on Wednesday after Bloomberg News reported, citing a White House official, that President Donald Trump might soon fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. President Trump responded swiftly when asked by denying that he plans to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump called the reports untrue, saying, "I don’t rule out anything, but it’s highly unlikely unless he has to leave for fraud." This comment referred to recent criticism from the White House and Republican lawmakers over cost overruns in the $2.5 billion renovation of the Fed’s historic headquarters in Washington. The impact of this saw stocks whipsaw with the S&P 50…

Markets remain very much in limbo when it comes to US tariffs and trade negotiations. However, looking at risk assets and US equities in particular, one would none the wiser as to the bevy of risks that lie ahead. Let us take a look at what we can expect from Q3. S&P 500 Prints Fresh All-Time Highs, Can the Rally Continue? The S&P 500 finished Q2 with a flourish as optimism has continued to grow that trade deals will be reached between the US and a host of trading partners. The S&P rallied to print fresh all-time highs in the last week of June with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently remarking that about 100 countries will get a minimu…

US Indices are reacting interestingly to two major pieces of data that surprised positively when it comes to inflation, particularly after the NFP beat. Markets shot up after the release of the Producer Price Index data but still not above yesterday's highs after a Risk-Off overnight session with starting to price in cuts more aggressively after the softer data. Is the market starting to look at something else for the US? Inflation data has surprised positively twice, with the Core PPI coming in at 3.0% vs 3.1% exp. and Core CPI coming in at 0.1% m/m vs 0.3% expected. Just a reminder that the Federal Reserve prefers to track Core data to avoid more volatile energy and …

The boundary between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) has become even blurrier. On October 7, 2025, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced the launch of the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index, a groundbreaking benchmark designed to track both major cryptocurrencies and crypto-related stocks. The goal? To give investors an easy, diversified gateway into the fast-evolving digital asset ecosystem, without needing to manage wallets, exchanges, or multiple risk assets. This move marks a significant milestone in institutional crypto adoption as we head into Q4 2025. Analysts expect the move to draw billions in new institutional liquidity as traditi…
