Dollar stablecoins control crypto’s financial rails, but regulated euro, yen and yuan alternatives are emerging to challenge the USD’s onchain monopoly. Opinion by: Jamie Elkaleh, chief marketing officer at Bitget Wallet Stablecoins started as a workaround for crypto traders. By pegging tokens to the US dollar, they created liquidity in a market that never closed. In just a few years, however, they have outgrown that role. The result is an onchain financial layer where dollar-pegged coins set prices, collateral norms and risk appetite. The danger lies here: Without the growth of credible, well-regulated alternatives in the euro, yen and offshore yuan, the US dollar's dominance will be locked into crypto’s foundation for years.

Andy Krainak was basically living at Gary Vaynerchuk’s apartment for the launch of VeeFriends, and says he never saw his boss more emotional. Its hard to ignore the impact Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee) had on the NFT space in 2021-22. The founder and CEO of VaynerMedia and prolific content creator onboarded thousands of new people onchain with the launch of his project, VeeFriends. For those outside of the Vaynerchuk ecosystem, VeeFriends was misunderstood when it launched and for many, still remains so today. It often sits outside the regular discourse on NFT Twitter and its extensive character base can make it seem complex to the causal NFT degen. But despite this, four-plus years on, VeeFriends continues to expand its universe. While the brand and IP was born out of the blockchain, VeeFriends has crossed over into different worlds and niches most NFT collectors would not even be aware of. Read more -

Which treasury strategy is gaining ground in 2025: Bitcoin as digital gold or Ether as a yield engine? In recent years, companies and countries have increasingly included cryptocurrencies in their treasury strategies. Traditionally, corporate treasuries relied on cash, gold or government bonds to maintain value, ensure liquidity and provide financial stability. Governments had gold reserves to back their currencies. However, cash loses purchasing power. Bonds carry rate and duration risk. Foreign exchange shocks hit balance sheets without warning. Ideally, you want a reserve that holds value, moves fast across borders and plugs into digital rails. That is why Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and, in some cases, stablecoins now sit beside cash, gold and T-bills. Read more -

Sui-based yield trading protocol Nemo lost $2.59 million in a Sept. 7 exploit caused by unaudited code deployed without multisignature controls. Sui-based yield trading protocol Nemo lost about $2.59 million due to a known vulnerability introduced by non-audited code being deployed, according to the project. According to Nemo’s post-mortem analysis of the Sept. 7 hack, a flaw in a function intended to reduce slippage allowed the attacker to change the state of the protocol. This function, named “get_sy_amount_in_for_exact_py_out,” was pushed onchain without being audited by smart contract auditor Asymptotic. Furthermore, Asymptotic’s team identified the issue in a preliminary report. Still, the Nemo team admits that its “team did not adequately address this security concern in a timely manner.” Read more -

Researcher Luiz Eduardo Abreu Hadad told Cointelegraph that while devs are drawn to established ecosystems, the region can create new platforms. Latin America’s developer community is increasingly focused on building within established blockchain ecosystems like Ethereum and Polygon rather than launching new base-layer protocols, according to a report by consultancy firm Sherlock Communications. The study, which included qualitative inputs from 85 developers in Bolivia, Mexico, Brazil and Peru, showed that the region’s builders care about transparency, coordination and compliance. The devs favor intuitive tools, strong documentation and proven track records, making networks like Ethereum and Polygon a good fit. Luiz Eduardo Abreu Hadad, blockchain consultant and researcher at Sherlock Communications, told Cointelegraph that Latin American devs stand out because they show “strong technical maturity” and focus on real-world issues.

The text chain revealed questions the Gemini co-founders sent Brian Quintenz in July that signaled they were looking for certain assurances regarding enforcement actions. Brian Quintenz, US President Donald Trump’s pick to chair the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has made public several texts between himself and Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, suggesting reasons why the brothers may have attempted to interfere with his nomination to the agency. In a Wednesday X post, Quintenz said he had released the texts over concerns that Trump “might have been misled” by the Gemini co-founders. The chain appeared to show Tyler Winklevoss sending Quintenz information on Gemini’s civil case with the CFTC, settled with a $5 million fine in January. “The CFTC totally abused the deliberative process privilege amongst many other abuses to prevent us from even be [sic] able to defend ourselves fairly in court,” Winklevoss texted to Quintenz on July 25.
