Societe Generale Expands Tokenized Stablecoin Use on Canton

Societe Generale, through its digital assets subsidiary Societe Generale-FORGE, is expanding its footprint in blockchain-based finance by deploying its EURCV and USDCV stablecoins on the Canton Network. The move is part of the banks strategy to enhance tokenized collateral, repo financing, and settlement infrastructure.  The Paris-based institution plans to leverage Cantons infrastructure for collateral mobility, margin management, and risk management workflows tied to tokenized assets. This initiative is aimed at streamlining short-term financing transactions and improving operational efficiency for institutional participants.  According to the announcement, the EURCV and USDCV stablecoins will facilitate settlement and cash management activities but will remain restricted to non-U.S. jurisdictions. Currently, EURCV holds a market capitalization of $97 million, while USDCV has $20 million in circulation, per data from DeFiLlama. Both stablecoins were launched by SG-FORGE in 2023 and 2025, respectively.  Societe Generale has been actively exploring blockchain‘s potential in traditional finance. In November 2025, the bank issued a tokenized green bond on Canton Network, marking its early adoption of tokenized asset frameworks. The company also recently integrated USDCV into Consensys’s MetaMask wallet, signaling its intent to broaden use cases for its digital assets.  Tokenization Gains Momentum Among Financial Institutions  Societe Generale‘s announcement aligns with a broader trend of banks and

Warren Pushes SEC Probe as CLARITY Act Faces Final Hurdles

Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the SEC to investigate a Trump family-linked crypto business.The comments came during the Senate Banking Committee markup of the CLARITY Act.Reports said DeFi rules, BRCA language, and Democratic support became key late-stage issues.  Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the SEC to investigate a crypto company linked to President Donald Trumps family as the CLARITY Act faced a tense Senate Banking Committee markup. Her remarks added fresh pressure to a bill already caught between ethics concerns, DeFi rules, and late-stage amendment fights.  The dispute raised a direct question for crypto markets: Will the CLARITY Act stall before reaching the Senate floor? Current signs show the bill can still move, but its bipartisan path has narrowed as Democrats press for stronger guardrails on conflicts of interest and market oversight.  Warren Raises Trump Crypto Concerns  Warren‘s call for an SEC investigation focused on a cryptocurrency business associated with Trump’s family. Reports said she made the remarks during the CLARITY Act markup, where Democratic lawmakers continued pushing for conflict-of-interest protections involving senior public officials.  The issue has become more than a political side debate. Democrats argue that a crypto market structure bill should not advance without rules addressing how top officials and their families

Is 10,000 XRP Enough to Retire? Analyst Maps Two Timelines to $1 Million

The post Is 10,000 XRP Enough to Retire? Analyst Maps Two Timelines to $1 Million appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News  It is the most searched question in the XRP community right now. How much XRP is actually enough? Analyst Zach Rector tackled it directly this week, and his answer depends entirely on what you are trying to achieve and how long you are willing to wait.  Wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP just hit an all-time high of 332,230 according to Santiment data, a record that has been building consistently since June 2024. Even through volatility and sideways price action, larger holders have kept accumulating.  The Two Timelines  Rector ran two scenarios for a 10,000 XRP position purchased today at approximately $1.44, a total investment of around $14,400.  Conservative timeline: XRP reaches $10 this year giving a $100,000 portfolio, climbs to $50 by 2029 for $500,000, and hits $100 by 2033 to 2034 for a $1 million portfolio. Total wait: roughly a decade.  Aggressive timeline: XRP hits $10 this year, $50 by 2027, and $100 by 2029. Same $1 million outcome but compressed into three years.  The Part Most People Miss  Rector made a point that separates serious investors from casual holders. When XRP reaches $100 and

Coinbase Takes Over USDC Treasury Deployer Role on Hyperliquid, Phases Out Native USDH Stablecoin

Hyperliquid‘s native stablecoin is on its way out. The decentralized perpetuals exchange has chosen Coinbase as the official treasury deployer for USDC, a move that sidelines the platform’s own USDH token and hands a major plumbing role to a centralized entity. For a venue that built its reputation on permissionless leverage trading, the decision creates a clear trade-off: deeper liquidity and institutional alignment for a piece of on-chain governance.  According to the original report, Native Markets has already agreed to terms allowing Coinbase to purchase the USDH brand assets. The USDH market will be phased out over an unspecified timeline, effectively making USDC the primary stablecoin for collateral and settlement on Hyperliquid. The shift gives Coinbase direct exposure to treasury management inside one of the most actively used derivatives DEXs, while also extending USDCs footprint deeper into on-chain trading infrastructure.  A strategic shift for on-chain stablecoin markets  By taking the treasury deployer seat, Coinbase can directly manage and mint USDC in connection with Hyperliquid‘s trading activity. It is a role that normally sits with a protocol’s own team or a DAO treasury, not an external exchange. For Coinbase, the logic is straightforward: USDC needs to be where volume lives, and Hyperliquid has consistently

3 Altcoins That Benefit Most From the CLARITY Act and Why

The Crypto Market Structure Bill, CLARITY Act, passed the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. The vote sends the crypto market structure bill toward a full Senate floor test and resets risk profiles for altcoin holders.  Three tokens stand out as direct beneficiaries with profiles that fit the bills grandfather clauses, decentralization tests, and DeFi protections. Meanwhile, XRP, Solana, and Hyperliquid each align with the mechanics that the legislation favors.  XRP Lands a Path Out of SEC Limbo  XRP, the native asset of the Ripple network, sits closest to the bills grandfather clause. That language fast-tracks commodity status for tokens with approved or pending ETF products, sidestepping the full mature-blockchain test.  Historically, secondary-market XRP sales have drawn SEC scrutiny. The bill ends that exposure for tokens meeting the new commodity definition.  XRP Price Performance. Source: BeInCrypto  It explains why the token is up by almost 7% in the last 24 hours, to trade for $1.51 as of this writing.  “CLARITY Act talks just took a BIG step forward. Sen. Warner confirms progress after Republicans accepted key changes. Translation: regulation is aligning… and thats exactly what XRP has been waiting for. The rails are being built,” one user noted.

Solana positions itself as leader in quantum threat preparedness

On April 27, 2026, the Solana Foundation released a comprehensive quantum readiness roadmap, co-authored with Anza and Jump Crypto‘s Firedancer team. The document lays out a concrete strategy for migrating Solana’s cryptographic infrastructure to post-quantum standards, with a particular focus on the Falcon digital signature scheme.  Why the urgency matters now  A 2026 Google paper estimated that fewer than 500,000 physical qubits would be required to break elliptic curve cryptography, the mathematical foundation securing virtually every major blockchain. That number is significantly lower than previous estimates, which had placed the threshold comfortably in the millions.  Nic Carter has put the odds of Bitcoin being vulnerable to quantum attacks by 2035 at 70-80%. The specific vulnerability sits in Ed25519, the elliptic curve signature scheme used by Solana, and variants of the same mathematical family used by Bitcoin and Ethereum. If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can derive a private key from a public key, anyone who has ever broadcast a transaction, which exposes their public key, becomes a target.  Solanas quantum playbook  The roadmap centers on adopting Falcon, formally known as FN-DSA, a post-quantum digital signature algorithm specifically chosen for high-throughput blockchains. Falcon was selected by NIST as one of its post-quantum cryptographic standards.  Ed25519 signatures are

Fed Governor Miran submits resignation, throws support behind Warsh as new chair

Stephen Miran, governor of the US Federal Reserve, during a television interview on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, US, on Monday, Nov. 10, 2025.  Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images  Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran officially handed in his resignation letter Thursday, saying he will vacate his spot on the central bank board when or just before new Chair Kevin Warsh takes his seat.  Stepping in to fill what was left of an unexpired term last September, Miran served as a contrarian voice on the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee. He voted “no” in each of the six meetings he has attended since taking over for Adriana Kugler, who abruptly resigned in August 2025.  In his letter, Miran said his brief stint was “the highest honor of my life” and expressed confidence in Warsh, who gained Senate confirmation to the top seat Wednesday. Miran came to the Fed after serving as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers.  “Going forward, I am excited about changes Chairman-designate Kevin Warsh and the Federal Reserve may make in areas such as communications policy, balance sheet policy, and keeping the Federal Reserve to its narrow mandate and out of hot-button political

Banque de Frances Beau clashes with Lagarde over digital euro plans

The European Central Bank and France‘s central bank are supposed to be on the same team. Right now, they’re reading from very different playbooks on the future of digital money in Europe.  Denis Beau, deputy governor of the Banque de France, is pushing hard for the rapid development of euro-denominated tokenized money and stablecoins, built in partnership with the private sector. ECB President Christine Lagarde, meanwhile, would rather keep the spotlight on the central banks own digital euro project, treating private stablecoins as a secondary concern at best.  Two visions, one currency  Beau‘s argument is straightforward: Europe can’t afford to wait. Hes calling for collaboration between private and public institutions to build pan-European tokenized payment infrastructure, and he wants regulatory frameworks under MiCA adapted to make that happen faster.  The Banque de France‘s wholesale tokenized money service is set to launch by the end of 2025, a full 18 months ahead of the ECB’s digital euro pilot timeline.  On the private sector side, the Qivalis consortium, a group of 12 major banks including ING and BNP Paribas, plans to launch a private digital euro in 2025. That initiative aligns neatly with Beaus vision of European banks building tokenized solutions rather than waiting for a government-issued

Tether-backed T3 Says It Froze $450M in Illicit Crypto Funds Since 2024

The group was cited earlier this year by the Financial Action Task Force as an “invaluable resource” for law enforcement and highlighted in FATF reporting on public-private partnership models.  T3 figures follow broader USDT freeze activity  The new figures also follow separate onchain data from security firm BlockSec on Friday, showing that more than $500 million in USDT had been frozen over a recent 30-day period.  Cointelegraph reached out to Tether to ask how the $450 million in assets linked to T3 FCU‘s work intersect with Tether’s broader blacklisting and freezing activity across chains, and how much of the total relates specifically to Tron-based USDT, but had not received a response by publication.  The company was also asked how it balances an expanding compliance and asset-freezing toolkit with criticism from parts of the crypto industry that such powers increase centralization risk and may undermine the permissionless nature of stablecoin transfers on networks like Tron.  Tron, which positions itself as a low-cost settlement layer for stablecoins, told Cointelegraph it is an “agnostic technology provider” that cannot directly monitor every user or block every transaction, and that the means to identify and stop illicit activity sit with partners such as Tether, TRM Labs and law enforcement.

Rep. Frederica Wilson Has Been Absent For Weeks Without Explanation

Two House members have been absent for weeks, missing dozens of votes as both face tough re-election contests, including one that could jeopardize Republicans slim majority in the House.  TNS  Key Facts  Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., has not voted in the House since April 17, missing 43 consecutive votes as of Wednesday, according to reporter Jamie Dupree.  She has remained active on social media and shared images on Tuesday of a service academy event she attended—and already posted—in October.  Wilson has not publicly explained her absence, and neither her office nor House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries‘ office responded to Forbes’ questions about where she has been.  Rep. Thomas Kean Jr., R-N.J., who had a near-perfect voting record until he cast his last vote on March 5, has missed 68 votes since.  Kean‘s chief of staff, Dan Scharfenberger, referred Forbes to a previous statement he provided to the New Jersey Globe: Kean is “attending to a personal health matter” and will be returning to a regular full schedule soon,“ Scharfenberger said, adding, ”the Congressman’s team continues to serve the people of New Jersey uninterrupted.  Both are running for re-election this year and could lose their seats—Kean, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, is uncontested in the June
