Regulatory Trends

Coinbase confirmed that it is considering applying for a US federal bank license. A Coinbase spokesperson stated that the company is actively considering this option but has not made any formal decision. (Cointelegraph)
Previously, sources revealed that many crypto companies, including Circle and BitGo, are planning to apply for bank licenses or charters. Cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase Global and stablecoin company Paxos are also considering similar moves. After obtaining a bank license, crypto companies may be able to accept deposits and issue loans like traditional banks, but will also face stricter regulatory and reporting requirements. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is taking action to integrate cryptocurrencies into mainstream finance, and Congress has proposed two bills to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins, which would require stablecoin issuers to obtain a charter or license from regulatory authorities.

The report emphasizes that dollar-dominated stablecoins like USDT and USDC, if widely used in Europe, could undermine the circulation of the euro and the ECB's control over monetary policy. The ECB calls for accelerating the implementation of the MiCA regulatory framework to prevent stablecoins from gaining widespread circulation during regulatory gaps.

DWF Labs partner: Working on completing several large investment deals
DWF Labs partner Andrei Grachev posted that his recent low activity on social networks is due to efforts to complete several large investment deals and promote more partnerships for Falcon Finance with money markets and centralized exchanges.
Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas posted: "Bitcoin rose significantly when the stock market fell yesterday, showing a negative correlation with the stock market over the past week, outperforming US Treasuries (which have become unreliable again), although gold remained at a similar level (-98). Of course, this is a ridiculous short time frame, but in my opinion, if Bitcoin wants to be seen as a true alternative, it must gain traction."
