The post U.S. May Issue Crypto Bonds Backed by Bitcoin and XRP, Says Ex-CFTC Chair appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The idea of the U.S. government issuing crypto-backed bonds is gaining real traction and the endorsement is coming from one of Washington’s most familiar voices in financial regulation. Speaking at the XRPL Apex 2025 conference in Singapore, former CFTC Chair Chris Giancarlo said the concept of government bonds backed by assets like Bitcoin and XRP is “more than a possibility.” Here’s everything you need to know! Trump’s New Approach: Hold Crypto, Don’t Sell Giancarlo, who led the CFTC under President Trump and is widely known in the industry as “Crypto Dad,” revealed that the current administration is taking a very different approach to digital assets compared to its predecessors. In past years, federal agencies typically sold off seized crypto. Under Trump, that strategy has changed. According to Giancarlo, the administration now believes that holding digital assets could strengthen the U.S. financially. Had the government held onto Bitcoin seized years ago, it could have made a serious dent in the national debt, he noted during the interview with Bradley Kimes of Digital Perspective. Importantly, Giancarlo clarified that this shift doesn’t need new laws. Federal agencies already have the authority to hold confiscated digital assets and that power is now being used. Crypto as a Strategic Reserve Beyond simply storing digital assets, the government is looking at ways to use them strategically. Giancarlo compared the move to how the U.S. manages its Strategic Petroleum Reserve – a stockpile used not just for emergencies, but as a tool to stabilize markets. When oil prices are manipulated by global producers, the U.S. can release supply to push back. That same thinking is now being applied to crypto, especially with all the geopolitical changes! As BRICS nations develop alternatives to the U.S. dollar, and countries like China continue to stockpile resources, Giancarlo said the U.S. should do the same but with digital commodities. An interesting approach, wouldn’t you say? The U.S. Already Holds Billions in Crypto Well, the administration is already building out reserves. In March, President Trump signed an executive order creating the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which now holds over 200,000 BTC, worth more than $22 billion at current prices. These assets were collected through criminal and civil forfeitures and are treated as long-term holdings, similar to gold. Alongside that, the Digital Asset Stockpile was launched to manage other tokens like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Unlike the Bitcoin reserve, this pool is more flexible, allowing the Treasury to make calculated sales or acquisitions as needed. Kimes closed the conversation by noting that if the U.S. starts using crypto reserves the same way it uses oil, it could influence market behavior. Giancarlo agreed. Here’s what we can see: crypto’s not on the sidelines anymore. Exciting times!

W obliczu eskalacji napięć na Bliskim Wschodzie i gwałtownego wzrostu cen ropy zwiększył się popyt na opcje sprzedaży, kosztem opcji kupna BTC. Jeszcze na początku tygodnia krótkoterminowe prognozy ceny Bitcoina napawały inwestorów optymizmem, kluczowa okazała się jednak nieprzewidywalność i zmienność rynków i sytuacji międzynarodowej. Handlowcy krypto bacznie obserwują rynek i szukają tanich alternatyw, gotowych do eksplozji jeszcze w tym roku. Cena Bitcoina spada – ryzyko masowej wyprzedaży Cena bitcoina spadła do 50-dniowej prostej średniej kroczącej (SMA) na poziomie 104 493 USD, wydłużając 24-godzinne straty do 3,00% (według danych z Coingecko). Ceny na krótko przekroczyły poziom 110 000 USD na początku tego tygodnia – byki mogą mieć nadzieję, że 50-dniowa SMA się utrzyma, ponieważ potencjalny spadek poniżej SMA może zachęcić do większych wyprzedaży (czyli sytuacji, którą zaobserwowano po załamaniu się wsparcia w lutym 2025 r.). W momencie pisania tego tekstu cena baryłki ropy zaczęła spadać i wynosi 72,38 USD. We wczesnych godzinach porannych cena baryłki ropy wynosiła aż 78,4 USD osiągając najwyższy poziom od 16 stycznia 2025 r. Ruch ten nastąpił po tym, jak Izrael przeprowadził ataki powietrzne na Iran, z dużym prawdopodobieństwem ściągając na siebie odwetowe ataki rakietowe ze strony Teheranu. Nadchodzi impuls inflacyjny? Nagłe skoki cen ropy naftowej wywołują impuls inflacyjny, w którym zwiększona cena ropy prowadzi do wzrostu kosztów produkcji i transportu. To z kolei może przyczynić się do ogólnego wzrostu cen w gospodarce. Wzrost cen ropy naftowej ma bezpośredni wpływ na wiele sektorów, w tym na transport, przemysł i rolnictwo. Sytuacja jest o tyle poważna, że wojna handlowa prowadzona już przez prezydenta Donalda Trumpa nieustannie grozi zachwianiem gospodarki i wzrostem inflacji, zwłaszcza w krajach będących importerami netto. Wszystko to może obniżyć oczekiwania dotyczące obniżek stóp procentowych przez Fed, zwiększając zmienność spadkową akcji i kryptowalut. W chwili pisania tego tekstu kontrakty futures powiązane ze S&P 500 spadły o 1,3% w ciągu ostatniej doby. Inwestorzy poszukują alternatywy dla Bitcoina Inwestorzy, niezależnie od tego, czy wierzą w optymistyczne prognozy Bitcoina, czy są co do nich bardziej sceptyczni, chętnie rozglądają się za innymi możliwościami inwestycyjnymi. Najlepiej, jeśli są one dopasowane do indywidualnych możliwości finansowych oraz wykazują się konkretną użytecznością. Dzięki rozwiązaniu problemu ze skalowalnością sieci Bitcoin przez Bitcoin Hyper oraz airdropom bitcoinów w ramach projektu Bitcoin Bull Token , potencjał wzrostu tokenów jest na tyle duży, że nie mógł zostać niezauważony przez łowców okazji przedsprzedażowych. Bitcoin Hyper – wprowadza Layer 2 na Bitcoinie Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) wprowadza pionierską sieć Bitcoin Layer-2, która ma przyspieszyć transakcje na całym blockchainie Bitcoin, zwiększyć skalowalność i otworzyć drogę do nowych możliwości, takich jak natychmiastowe płatności i bardziej funkcjonalne aplikacje zdecentralizowane dApps. Będzie to możliwe dzięki integracji z Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) oraz zdecentralizowanemu Canonical Bridge. Kluczową rolę w ekosystemie pełni token $HYPER, umożliwiając płacenie za transakcje, uczestniczenie w głosowaniach DAO (w przyszłości) oraz korzystanie z aplikacji DeFi. Od razu po zakupie tokenów $HYPER można je przeznaczyć do stakingu, otrzymując roczne nagrody na poziomie do 732% APY. Warto jednak zauważyć, że wysokość APY będzie stopniowo maleć w miarę wzrostu liczby inwestorów. Bitcoin Bull Token – organizuje airdropy BTC Projekt Bitcoin Bull Token jest ściśle powiązany z ruchami ceny Bitcoina. Jego celem jest zapewnienie posiadaczom tokenów realnych zysków związanych z umacnianiem się Bitcoina – kluczowym elementem projektu jest możliwość zdobywania airdropów Bitcoina, gdy cena BTC przekroczy określone poziomy: 150 000 USD, 200 000 USD, 250 000 USD itd. Tuż po zakupie tokenów $BTCBULL można je przeznaczyć do stakingu, który jest nagradzany pasywnymi zwrotami na poziomie APY 57%. Token $BTCBULL ma być też odporny na inflację, dzięki mechanizmowi spalania tokenów. Również w tym przypadku, gdy Bitcoin osiągnie nowe ATH (np. 125 000 USD, 175 000 USD itd.), część tokenów zostanie trwale spalona, co zmniejszy podaż i wpłynie na wzrost wartości pozostałych tokenów.
The post BinanceCoin (BNB) & Uniswap (UNI) Attract Significant Gains—Will They Revive a Notable Recovery? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News As the tensions between Israel and Iran escalate, the traditional finance markets and crypto markets have taken a larger hit. More than $1.1 billion in liquidations was recorded, causing the Bitcoin price to test the local bottoms at around $102.6K. Although the token is working to mark a recovery, the technicals and the market conditions suggest a deeper correction could be possible if the token fails to defend the local support. While the other altcoins are closely following the star token, BinanceCoin & Uniswap gather some strength and are preparing for a strong upswing. BinanceCoin (BNB) Price Poised for a 15% Upswing BinanceCoin has been displaying immense strength regardless of the market conditions that helped the token to remain within the top 5 crypto ranks. The BNB price is stabilizing above the $655-$660 zone after reclaiming a broken wedge resistance. The recent price action shows consolidation just below a confluence of resistance lines, signaling tension ahead of a potential breakout. A sustained move above this compression may unlock the $700-$720 area. As seen in the above chart, the BNB price is trading within a decisive symmetrical triangle, and the recent bounce from the support validates the formation. Moreover, the 50/200 day MA is heading for a bullish crossover or the ‘Golden Cross.’ On the other hand, the CMF which has remained stuck above the average range since March, has triggered a bullish divergence. Hence, the BinanceCoin price is primed to rise and reach the resistance above $680 but the consolidation may prevail until the levels reach the edge of the pattern, followed by a breakout. Uniswap (UNI) Price Aims for a 100% Recovery Bears had gained a significant control over the rally for a while as the Uniswap price faced a quick rejection after reaching the levels around $8.6 to $8.7. However, after testing the local lows at $7, the price saw a bounce, which relieved the selling pressure for a while. The volume had dropped marginally but as the price dropped below $7, the buying pressure escalated with a notable rise in the volume. Hence, the current price action suggests the Uniswap price is in the middle of a strong recovery. The UNI price is undergoing a parabolic recovery and the latest rebound has escalated the levels above the Gaussian channel, which has turned bullish. The volume has been rising since May, which suggests the volatility has been increasing since then. Besides, the RSI is also rising, holding along the ascending trend line, which suggests the strength of the rally is increasing and rising along the parabolic recovery to reach $20.

Marking a major reversal of Biden-era policy, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has withdrawn key measures targeting crypto custody and decentralized exchanges. On Thursday, the commission confirmed it was formally rescinding 14 proposed rules introduced between March 2022 and November 2023, including several that sought to expand regulatory oversight of digital assets. In a notice, the SEC stated it was “withdrawing certain notices of proposed rulemaking” and made clear that it does not intend to issue final rules on these matters. “If the Commission decides to pursue future regulatory action in any of these areas, it will issue a new proposed rule,” the SEC said. Among the withdrawn rules was the proposed amendment to Rule 3b-16 under the Exchange Act, which aimed to redefine what qualifies as an “exchange” under federal securities laws. The amendment, first proposed in March 2022, would have extended the exchange definition to include communication systems that facilitate trading in crypto and decentralized finance protocols. You might also like: Altcoin ETF summer in limbo as SEC hits pause on DOGE, HBAR, and AVAX filings Critics have warned that the language used in Rule 3b-16 could have treated many DeFi platforms as regulated securities exchanges, even if they merely offered protocols for buyers and sellers to interact without direct intermediaries. Also scrapped was the proposed Safeguarding Advisory Client Assets rule, introduced in March 2023, which would have tightened custody requirements for registered investment advisers, mandating that all client assets, including crypto, be held with a “qualified custodian.” Most crypto-native custody providers did not meet the proposed definition, raising concerns that investment advisers would face limited options or be forced to exit digital asset markets altogether. Thursday’s rollback reflects a broader reorientation within the SEC. Under the Trump administration, the commission has moved away from enforcement-led policy, pivoting toward what it calls a “constructive” regulatory stance. Spearheading that change is SEC Chair Paul Atkins, a former commissioner and longtime advocate of limited government intervention. Since taking office in April, Atkins has directed the agency to scale back enforcement-led strategies in favour of clearer, innovation-friendly policies. As part of this overhaul, the SEC established a new Digital Assets Task Force to reassess its approach to crypto oversight. Within weeks, the task force moved to close several high-profile investigations, including cases involving Coinbase , Kraken , ConsenSys, Yuga Labs , and OpenSea , among others.

The ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken another significant turn with a joint filing submitted on June 13, 2025. Legal analyst and XRP advocate Bill Morgan has pointed out that crucial legal developments remain unresolved, particularly the court’s response to the most recent joint motion, which seeks to modify the final judgment to facilitate a settlement. The motion’s fate could determine whether the nearly four-year litigation continues or finally comes to a close. Settlement Hinges on Court’s Acceptance of ‘Exceptional Circumstances’ In their joint motion, Ripple and the SEC argue that there are “exceptional circumstances” warranting a modification of Judge Analisa Torres’ final judgment issued earlier this year. Specifically, they seek to reduce the civil penalty and dissolve the permanent injunction imposed on Ripple. In the joint motion filed today by the SEC and Ripple to show exceptional circumstances, the parties rely on authorities that have held that exceptional circumstances exist where modification of a judgement is necessary to facilitate settlement that would obviate pending appeals… pic.twitter.com/MkcLT7C1e8 — bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) June 12, 2025 The motion references legal precedent supporting the idea that such modifications are justified when they are essential to executing a settlement that would end ongoing litigation and eliminate the need for appeals. Bill Morgan explains that the modification is not just a request—it’s a condition precedent to the settlement. In other words, the agreement between Ripple and the SEC can only take effect if the court approves the motion and modifies the judgment accordingly. If Judge Torres declines to find that such exceptional circumstances exist, the condition required for the settlement to proceed would remain unmet. Consequently, the settlement agreement would collapse, leaving both parties to pursue their respective appeal and cross-appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. This reality, Morgan argues, directly contradicts months of confident pronouncements by some influencers in the XRP community who have prematurely declared the case “closed.” According to him, and consistent with legal procedure, the matter remains very much alive and unresolved. Judge Torres’ Role in Finalizing the Legal Outcome The burden now lies with Judge Torres, whose July 2023 ruling made headlines for affirming that Ripple’s XRP sales to institutional investors constituted securities offerings, while rejecting the SEC’s claim that programmatic sales and XRP distributions to employees or third parties also fell under securities law violations. That split ruling set the stage for the current penalty phase, resulting in a financial penalty and a permanent injunction, both of which Ripple now seeks to amend through the joint motion. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 Crucially, if the motion is denied, the original judgment would stand, and the SEC and Ripple would revert to active litigation before the appellate court. That scenario could prolong the case into late 2025 or beyond, with potentially significant ramifications for XRP’s legal status, Ripple’s operations, and broader crypto regulatory policy in the United States. The Broader Significance for the Crypto Industry Ripple’s battle with the SEC has become a defining legal conflict in the cryptocurrency industry. The outcome of this case may shape how digital asset companies structure their token sales and engage with U.S. regulators. For Ripple, the stakes are enormous. A finalized settlement would not only eliminate the immediate threat of expanded penalties or broader injunctions. Still, it would also bring long-sought regulatory clarity that could support future expansion in the U.S. market. From the SEC’s perspective, the litigation represents one of its most high-profile enforcement actions in the crypto sector. A concluded settlement could signal a pragmatic turn in the Commission’s enforcement strategy, especially under growing pressure from lawmakers, the courts, and a newly reinvigorated industry. Awaiting Judicial Determination Until Judge Torres rules on the joint motion, the litigation remains unresolved. While Ripple and the SEC have agreed on the terms of a potential settlement, their agreement cannot be effectuated unless the judgment is modified to accommodate it. If this legal prerequisite is not met, then, as Bill Morgan rightly underscores, the lawsuit will persist, and the appeal process will resume. For XRP holders, Ripple supporters, and the broader crypto legal community, the outcome of this motion could represent the final chapter, or merely the beginning of the next. One thing is clear: the narrative that the Ripple case is “over” is misleading. The court’s upcoming decision will be the definitive step in determining whether this landmark lawsuit is resolved or continues into appellate proceedings.

A $35 billion US semiconductor merger is facing delays after China’s antitrust regulator put its approval on hold, days after Washington tightened chip export rules that have deepened trade tensions. According to The Financial Times , China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has paused its green light for the deal between Ansys, a developer of engineering simulation tools, and Synopsys. The deal had already won approval in the United States and Europe, and was in the final stage of SAMR’s review. It was widely expected to clear the last hurdle by the end of June, the sources added. The delays follow a late May decision by the US government to bar American firms, including Synopsys, from selling certain chip-design software to China. That move has made China’s approvals more difficult, according to FT’s insider source. Still, if Synopsys can address the regulator’s concerns, approval could yet be granted, that source noted. The deal’s complexity might be adding to the delay A second source cautioned that the slowdown owes more to the complicated nature of the deal rather than the broader US-China trade dispute. Originally, SAMR’s timetable allowed 180 days for review, yet this process has now stretched beyond that window. On Synopsys’s earnings call on May 28, chief executive Sassine Ghazi said the company was “working cooperatively and actively negotiating with SAMR to secure China regulatory clearance” and expected to close the deal “in the first half of this year.” Company filings reveal that the merger agreement carries a “drop dead” date of January 15, 2026. If the deal has not closed by then, either party may walk away without penalty. The announcement comes as US and Chinese officials try to ease their trade standoff. This week, President Donald Trump said both sides had agreed in London to revive a tariff truce first struck in Geneva in May. A senior White House official also suggested that Washington might relax some technology export restrictions if Beijing speeds up shipments of rare earth minerals. There are already early signs that the US ban may be softened. Synopsys, which had halted all sales to Chinese customers, recently resumed shipments of IP and hardware. However, so-called electronic design automation tools remain off-limits. Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings? Learn how DeFi can help you build steady passive income. Register Now
