The government redistributed roughly 6,274 BTC (around $678 million at publication time) from one address into 14 fresh addresses, each capped at 500 BTC, as a precautionary security measure. Until late August 2025, El Salvador’s national Bitcoin reserve sat in a single address.

The Bank of Italy's vice director warned that multi-issuance stablecoins pose risks to EU financial stability and should be restricted to equivalent regulatory jurisdictions. A senior Bank of Italy official warned that stablecoins issued by multiple entities across different countries pose significant risks to the European Union’s financial system unless they are strictly limited to jurisdictions with equivalent regulatory standards. Speaking at the Economics of Payments Conference in Rome on Thursday, Chiara Scotti, vice director of the Bank of Italy, said multi-issuance stablecoins — digital tokens issued in several countries under a single brand — may increase liquidity but also bring “considerable legal, operational, liquidity and financial stability risks” if at least one issuer is outside the EU. “Although this architecture could enhance global liquidity and scalability, it poses significant legal, operational, liquidity and financial stability risks at EU level, particularly if at least one issuer is l... -

The proposal seeks to create more value for long-term WLFI tokenholders, while exploring additional protocol revenue sources for token buybacks. US President Donald Trump-backed crypto project World Liberty Financial passed a governance proposal to reduce the supply and boost the value of its native cryptocurrency following its disappointing price performance since launch. On Thursday, the Trump family-backed platform passed a governance vote that seeks to use 100% of the project’s treasury’s liquidity fees for World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token buybacks and burns, meaning permanently removing the tokens from circulation. The vote passed with a 99.8% majority, while only 0.06% of the community voted against the proposal, which will serve as the “foundation” of the platform’s token buyback strategy, according to data from WorldLibertyFinancial.com.

After Changpeng Zhao congratulated it on X, community members speculated that the Binance co-founder may be behind the Aster project. BNB Chain-based decentralized perpetuals exchange Aster briefly crossed $2 billion in total value locked (TVL) on Thursday after launching its native token, before falling back sharply, according to DefiLlama data. The surge that followed the project’s Aster (APX) token launch proved to be short-lived, as it ended the day at $545 million TVL. At the time of writing on Friday, the exchange’s TVL had rebounded to $655 million, still nearly double its usual range of $300 million–$400 million before the token debut. The launch also sparked heightened trading activity, with Aster logging $434 million in 24-hour volume, placing it among the most active decentralized finance (DeFi) derivatives platforms. While the project gained traction, it still has a ways to go to catch up with Hyperliquid, its biggest rival in the space. Read more -

Morrow called on federal and provincial regulators to create a policy framework for stablecoins. “At the end of the day, for stablecoins to be seen as money, they need to be as safe and stable as the balance in your bank account,” Morrow said, adding: Read more -

After stepping down in 2023 as part of a deal with US officials that later sent him to prison, Changpeng Zhao said he had “no plans to return to the CEO position” at Binance. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are speculating that former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao is closer to receiving a pardon from US President Donald Trump after a change to his social media profile. The odds of Zhao receiving a pardon from Trump on the prediction platform Polymarket increased to an all-time high of 64% on Saturday, but they have since dropped to 45% at the time of publication. Several users noted on Wednesday that Zhao had removed the “ex-@binance” tag — which he had added in 2023 after stepping down as CEO under a US plea deal — suggesting he may no longer be distancing himself from the exchange he founded in 2017.
