Anchorage Digital Launches fUSD as SoFi Enters Stablecoins

Falcon Finance has launched a dollar-backed stablecoin, fUSD, through Anchorage Digital Banks federally regulated issuance platform, according to a Wednesday announcement.　　The companies said the stablecoin is backed by short-dated US Treasurys, cash and Treasury-backed repurchase agreements.　　The new stablecoin is designed for institutional trading, collateral and treasury workflows and will initially be used as collateral through Ceffu‘s MirrorRSV system. According to the announcement, the stablecoin extends Falcon Finance’s existing USDf synthetic dollar product into federally regulated issuance.　　The companies said fUSDs reserve structure was designed to align with standards proposed under the GENIUS Act, which would establish federal rules for dollar-backed stablecoins in the United States.　　Falcon Finance Chief RWA Officer Artem Tolkachev told Cointelegraph that the stablecoins structure separates token issuance from reward payments in an effort to comply with proposed restrictions on yield-bearing stablecoins under the bill.　　“Anchorage issues fUSD and pays no yield on the token itself,” Tolkachev said. “Falcon pays rewards to qualifying institutional holders through separate contracts.”　　Anchorage Digital said the stablecoin is being issued through its federally regulated banking platform, which includes AML and KYC requirements tied to US banking rules. The company is the parent of Anchorage Digital Bank, which received a national trust bank charter from the

Prediction markets battle escalates after president Donald Trump sides with CFTC

The CFTC has moved a proposed rule on prediction-markets event contracts into White House review as federal and state officials fight over who should police the fast-growing sector.The CFTCs proposed prediction-market rule is under White House review before it can be released for public comment.The rule could create the first comprehensive federal framework for event contracts and affect platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket.Trump backed CFTC control over prediction markets, while Illinois Governor JB Pritzker defended state action against insider trading.　　Bloomberg first reported that the proposal is now before the White House Office of Management and Budget, a step that precedes the Commodity Futures Trading Commissions release of the plan for public comment. The details have not yet been published.　　CFTC pushes toward event contract rules　　The proposed rule is expected to draw from a CFTC consultation held in the spring, which attracted more than 3,000 public comments. Those responses covered insider trading, barred contracts, market safeguards, and the legal structure around event contracts.　　If adopted, the rule would give the US its first full federal framework for prediction-market contracts. It could also affect how platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket serve US users, especially as the industry faces rising legal pressure from

Indonesia Blocks Polymarket: Prediction vs Gambling Law

How are other countries drawing the line right now？　　There is no global consensus. A few broad patterns are visible:　　In the United States, federal derivatives law often applies to event contracts. Some platforms have sought regulated pathways for limited categories (such as certain economic indicators), but political markets remain a flashpoint, with ongoing litigation and administrative proceedings. PredictIt‘s academic-market no-action relief was partially curtailed, and Kalshi’s attempts to list political contracts drew challenges—illustrating the contested perimeter.　　In the United Kingdom, the Gambling Commission can treat real-money event markets as betting unless they fall under financial-services rules. Political-betting permissions are narrower than sports, and consumer-protection expectations are high.　　The European Unions MiCA regime focuses on crypto-asset issuance and service providers; it does not directly license gambling. Event markets offering non-financial outcomes for cash stakes are generally caught by national gambling laws, not MiCA.　　Across Asia-Pacific, authorities vary: some emphasize gambling prohibitions and payment controls; others explore sandboxed derivatives approaches. The common thread is that unlicensed, offshore, retail-facing event betting tends to be restricted.　　What risks do users face when a platform is blocked？　　Regulatory blocks change your risk profile immediately. Even if you previously accessed a platform, you may not be able to close positions, withdraw promptly,

The Bank for International Settlements confirmed the move Wednesday.　　Project Agora, a public-private collaboration with seven central banks and more than 40 financial institutions, showed that tokenised commercial bank deposits can settle against tokenised central bank reserves on a shared platform with finality across jurisdictions.　　Why the BIS tokenization prototype matters for global banks　　The prototype demonstrated atomic settlement, where every leg of a cross-border transaction clears at the same instant or not at all. Banks involved said the design compresses correspondent flows that currently take days into seconds.　　“Once you know you have everything to run the transaction, you settle it in one go,” BIS Deputy General Manager Andrea Maechler said in remarks accompanying the release. The Bank of Canada also joined the project on Wednesday.　　Project

Singapore charges former Hodlnaut CEO Zhu Juntao over Terra collapse claims

Singapore authorities have charged the former CEO of collapsed crypto lender Hodlnaut Zhu Juntao with fraud, nearly four years after the firm froze withdrawals during the collapse of the TerraUSD ecosystem.　　The Singapore Police Force said that Zhu faces six charges of fraud by false representation in an announcement on Tuesday. Prosecutors allege Zhu directed employees in 2022 to publish false statements on Hodlnaut‘s Telegram channels and in customer emails claiming the company had no direct exposure to TerraUSD’s collapse, and had not suffered losses as a result.　　Authorities also alleged Zhu repeated similar claims on his personal X account, then known as Twitter, in three posts in June 2022. If convicted, Zhu could face up to 20 years in prison, fines, or both on each charge under Singapore law.　　Zhu disputed all six charges in court and was given a pre-trial conference date in June 2026, according to local media reports.　　Hodlnaut was one of several crypto lenders that failed after the implosion of Terraform Labs algorithmic stablecoin ecosystem in May 2022. The collapse erased about $40 billion from the crypto market and contributed to failures at firms including Three Arrows Capital, Celsius and Voyager.　　Reports filed during Hodlnaut‘s restructuring proceedings indicated the company

XRP Perp Activity on Binance Signals Rising Speculative Momentum

Leverage Is Back. Price Has Not Caught Up Yet　　That divergence between derivatives activity and spot price is the part worth unpacking. Traders were adding short-term leveraged positions in size, yet XRP was not moving with the same energy. The imbalance between perp volume and spot volume tells you where the conviction actually lives.　　A volume imbalance value of 0.54 does not arrive quietly. It indicates perpetual contract volumes running considerably higher than spot, a sign that traders are positioning for moves rather than simply holding or accumulating.　　Per the CryptoQuant quicktake, the closer the Z-Score gets to or past 1, the more pronounced the momentum signal becomes. It was sitting at 0.95. Close enough.　　What the Chart Does Not Say Outright　　The indicator does not make a directional call. It tracks intensity, not intent. Traders piling into perps on Binance could be going long, short, or both, and the data does not sort that out cleanly. What it does show is that the quiet period is likely over.　　Recent reporting on XRPs Binance liquidity conditions noted the 30-day liquidity index had collapsed to multi-year lows, around 0.043, a reading not seen since early 2020. Shallow order books plus rising perp activity is a combination that

Bankless Co-Founder David Hoffman Sells All His ETH Holdings

David Hoffman, co-founder of the crypto media outlet Bankless and a prominent Ethereum advocate, has revealed that he sold his entire Ether (ETH) position. Hoffman announced the decision via an X post on May 21, citing a belief that the window for ETH to achieve a significant market repricing has closed.　　“Ethereum got the ETH price it deserves, and I don‘t see ETH being rerated as an asset, higher or lower,” Hoffman wrote. While remaining optimistic about Ethereum’s future as a blockchain, he no longer sees its native token, ETH, as a primary beneficiary of that success.　　ETH is currently trading at $2,073.32 as of May 27, 2026, down nearly 60% from its all-time high of just under $5,000 reached in late 2021. The tokens price has been rangebound for years, underperforming other major cryptocurrencies during the most recent market cycles.　　“ETH Is Money” Thesis Falls Flat　　Hoffman‘s decision marks a symbolic shift, given his long-standing advocacy for the “ETH is Money” narrative. This thesis posits that Ethereum’s native token functions as a superior store of value due to its decentralized nature and inflation-resistant mechanisms introduced after the London hard fork in 2021.　　However, Hoffman now argues that this narrative has “played out” and that
