The European Central Bank warns in a new working paper that as stablecoin adoption grows, deposits may leave banks, affecting lending and monetary policy transmission. The European Central Bank said increasing stablecoin use may pull money out of bank deposits and weaken the way monetary policy flows through to lending, according to a new ECB working paper. Growing adoption of stablecoins, which are digital assets often pegged to currencies such as the US dollar or euro, is expected to draw funds away from traditional bank deposits, the ECB said in its latest working paper series, “Stablecoins and Monetary Policy Transmission,” released Tuesday. “Our analysis shows that rising interest in stablecoins is linked to a measurable decline in retail bank deposits and a reduction in lending to firms,” ECB staff said, adding that stablecoins can reduce the amount of credit banks provide to the real economy.

The two separate rulings add new regulatory pressure as prediction markets also face scrutiny over information advantages and suspected insider activity tied to event-driven contracts. Two US federal court rulings have increased the risk that Nevada regulators may seek to halt prediction-market trading in the state after a judge sent a dispute involving Polymarket’s parent company Blockratize and Kalshi back to state court in two separate rulings. A federal judge rejected arguments that US regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) fully preempts state gaming laws for prediction markets, according to a Monday order. The judge found that the CEA’s savings clause does not completely displace state authority and that the companies had not shown a basis to block Nevada’s action at this stage. Read more

Riot Platforms posted record 2025 revenue of $647 million, driven by $576 million in Bitcoin mining revenue, while holding 18,005 BTC worth $1.6 billion. Riot Platforms posted record annual revenue of $647.4 million for 2025, up 72% from $376.7 million a year earlier. In a Monday announcement, the company said the increase was driven by a $255.3 million jump in Bitcoin (BTC) mining revenue, which reached $576.3 million in 2025 amid a rise in operational hashrate and higher average Bitcoin prices. During the year, Riot produced 5,686 Bitcoin, up from 4,828 BTC in 2024. The average cost to mine one Bitcoin, excluding depreciation, climbed to $49,645 from $32,216 in 2024. Riot attributed the higher cost largely to a 47% increase in the global network hashrate, which increased mining difficulty. That impact was partly offset by a 68% increase in power credits received during the year, the company said. Engineering revenue also rose, reaching $64.7 million compared with $38.5 million in 2024.
