Argentina’s state oil company, YPF, is reportedly exploring crypto payments at its fuel stations as adoption of digital assets rises, following the recent rollout of US dollar transactions. Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF), Argentina’s state-controlled energy company, is reportedly considering allowing drivers to pay for gasoline and diesel with cryptocurrency, as digital assets continue to gain traction in everyday transactions across the country. The plan could rely on a third-party processor rather than direct wallet payments, including local and international platforms such as Lemon, Ripio or Binance to handle conversions, local news outlet La Nación reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The policy came amid a broader push by Economy Minister Luis Caputo to encourage the circulation of hard curre...

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey was on the cypherpunk mailing list, can code in C++ and had every reason to want to invent Bitcoin. But did he? Over the years, weve explored some intriguing theories about who (or what) created Bitcoin, ranging from the top government spy agency in America to a time-traveling AI and even the lizard people.  However, some are adamant that the creator of Bitcoin is much more human and has been under our noses this whole time, sporting a guru beard, sandals, and wearing a T-shirt with Satoshi written on it in large letters: the billionaire Twitter and Block founder Jack Dorsey.  I believe that Jack has been outwardly signaling that hes Satoshi for more than a decade, deBanked chief editor Sean Murray tells Magazine.  Read more

A new wave of self-custodial smart accounts aims to eliminate seed phrases, introduce card-based spending and remove the fear of losing access to crypto forever. Crypto’s longstanding user-experience hurdle, the dreaded seed phrase, is facing a serious challenge. As wallet providers experiment with programmable smart accounts and simplified recovery, the debate about self-custody is shifting from technical responsibility to everyday usability. In this week’s episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast, host Nathaniel Whittemore, Cointelegraph’s Gareth Jenkinson, and Ready (formerly Argent) CEO Itamar Lesuisse address how privacy, self-custody, Bitcoin-backed borrowing and seed-phrase-free wallets are converging to reshape how people store and spend digital assets. One recurring concern among crypto newcomers and veterans alike is the fragility of seed-phrase security. As Jenkinson noted, users often underestimate how easy it is to lose access: Read more

US stablecoin rules under the GENIUS Act are splitting global liquidity with Europe, creating regional markets and potentially leading to cross-border friction, a report says. The United States’ new approach to stablecoin regulation is reshaping global liquidity flows and driving a sharp structural split with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regime, effectively creating separate US and EU stablecoin liquidity pools, according to a new report from blockchain security auditor CertiK. The report finds that the US digital asset market entered a new phase of regulatory clarity in 2025, with federal legislation and administrative reforms now broadly aligned around how digital assets are issued, traded and custodied. At the center of that shift is the GENIUS Act, signed into law by US President Donald Trump in July, which establishes the first federal framework for payment stablecoins. The law imposes strict reserve requirements, bans yield-bearing stablecoins, and formally integrates stablecoin ...
