Stablecoins are shifting from crypto-native experiments to instruments embedded in existing banking and payment infrastructure. Traditional finance institutions across the US, Europe and Asia are moving into stablecoins now that regulatory uncertainties are easing. Payment companies like PayPal, Mastercard and Visa are either launching stablecoins, integrating stablecoin settlement into payment systems or building the infrastructure to support them. The race is not limited to corporations but is also developing at the banking level. In early October, a group of major international banks, including Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, BNP Paribas and Citi, formed a consortium to explore issuing a “reserve-backed” digital money on public blockchains.

AIMA says 55% of traditional hedge funds now hold crypto, with most planning to increase exposure as US regulation boosts confidence. More than half of traditional hedge funds now have exposure to digital assets, reflecting a steady institutional shift toward the cryptocurrency market despite recent volatility, according to a new survey.

This is an 8% increase over the 47% reported in the 2024 survey. The survey reportedly drew the participation of 122 hedge fund managers, representing $982 billion in assets under management.

However, 71% plan to increase their exposure over the next year. Read more -

Tokenomics favor speed over conviction, using genuine supporters as exit liquidity. Crypto’s mainstream future requires replacing extraction with participation incentives. Opinion by: Jake Antifaev, CEO of Thrust Every token launch is a story about belief. Crypto narratives often romanticize early buyers as visionaries who saw potential when others didn’t. The reality is far less noble. The bonding curve, currently the dominant mechanism for price discovery in crypto, sets the stage: Price increases with each purchase, rewarding those who arrive early with the best entry point. On the surface, this seems fair. Read more -

Ethereum smart account wallet platform SafeWallet has rearchitected its systems in the wake of the infamous $1.5 billion theft of ETH from Bybit. In February, the cryptocurrency ecosystem stood on the precipice of calamity. Hackers stole $1.5 billion of Ether from crypto exchange Bybit, the largest theft the industry had ever seen. Fears of a contagion-driven market collapse were alleviated by an industry-wide effort to plug the gap at Bybit, and within hours, the exchange regained control of the situation. The post-mortem revealed that Bybit’s routine transfer of Ether (ETH) between wallets had been captured by hackers. The attackers, believed to be North Korean Lazarus Group, compromised a SafeWallet developer machine, injecting malicious JavaScript into the user interface, which tricked Bybit’s multisignature process into approving a malicious smart contract.

The head of Australia’s market regulator, Joe Longo, is looking to embrace tokenization in Australia’s capital markets, fearing the country will fall behind if it doesn’t act. Australia’s capital markets risk being outpaced by other countries unless it embraces new technology such as tokenization, says the country’s head market regulator. “As other countries adapt and innovate, there’s a real risk Australia could become the ‘land of missed opportunity’ or be passive recipients of developments overseas,” Australian Securities and Investments Commission Chair Joe Longo told the National Press Club on Wednesday. Over $35.8 billion worth of real-world assets are currently tokenized onchain, which Boston Consulting Group estimated could rise to $16 trillion by 2030, while McKinsey & Co predicted a more conservative $2 trillion over the same time frame.

Analysts at financial services giant JPMorgan forecast “significant upside” for Bitcoin over the next months in a report on Wednesday. Bitcoin is trading below its fair value relative to gold when adjusted for volatility, according to analysts at JPMorgan. The rise in gold volatility during its rally to all-time highs in October makes the precious metal riskier and Bitcoin (BTC) “more attractive to investors,” analysts said, based on the bitcoin-to-gold volatility ratio falling to 1.8, meaning BTC carries 1.8 times the risk of gold. The report read: This mechanical exercise thus implies significant upside for Bitcoin over the next 6-12 months,” JPMorgan said. Read more -

Stablecoins have emerged as a store-of-value asset in emerging market economies at a rate no one predicted, Wood said on Thursday. ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood has cut her long-term Bitcoin price projection by $300,000, warning that stablecoins are eroding Bitcoin’s role as a store of value in emerging markets. “Stablecoins are usurping part of the role that we thought Bitcoin would play,” Wood, who previously forecast a top BTC price of $1.5 million by 2030, told CNBC on Thursday. Stablecoins are scaling here, I think, much faster than anyone would have expected,” she said. Read more
