Bank of England Chief Flags ‘Coming Wrestle With US on Stablecoin Oversight

In briefBank of England Governor Andrew Bailey warned that U.S. dollar tokens could flood Britain in a crisis.The GENIUS Act lets issuers redeem through exchanges, while the UK regime requires direct 1:1 redemption.The divide will be settled by markets and national rules, not global coordination, Decrypt was told.　　Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has warned of a “coming wrestle” with the U.S. over standards, claiming Friday that dollar tokens lacking direct redemption could flood Britain during a crisis.　　“If we want stablecoins to be part of the architecture of payments globally […] theyre only going to work if we have international standards,” Bailey said at a BoE conference on financial imbalances, as quoted by Reuters. “Frankly, that, I think, is going to be a coming wrestle with the [U.S.] administration.”　　“We know what would happen if there was a run on a stablecoin—theyd all turn up here,” Bailey added.　　Bailey, who also chairs the Financial Stability Board (FSB), has long warned that dollar-pegged tokens could erode monetary sovereignty, pushing UK banks toward tokenized deposits over stablecoin issuance.　　The remarks land alongside a pushback against stablecoins from European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who argued even euro-denominated tokens would threaten financial stability and monetary policy

Europe’s Vault Amid Americas Strategic Retrenchment

AFP via Getty Images　　The future of European security has become one of the central geopolitical questions arising from Washington‘s strategic retrenchment. America’s emerging burden-sharing and burden-shifting policy will compel European powers to construct a new continental security architecture – a formidable undertaking given Europe‘s fractured strategic history and uneven military capabilities. Within this evolving landscape, Switzerland’s longstanding posture of neutrality and its position as Europe‘s vault could become increasingly problematic as the post-World War II order erodes faster than a replacement system can emerge. This may create strategic space for Russia to expand its economic and political penetration into Europe’s financial core.　　Sergio Ermotti, CEO of UBS Group AG, said on May 6 that Switzerland‘s largest bank needs to expand its business in the United States. Recently, the Swiss legislature decided to review alternative options to the new capital rules proposed by the Swiss Federal Council for UBS, one of the world’s most influential institutions in wealth management, investment banking, and private banking. At issue is whether the government will insist that UBS fully back its foreign units with Common Equity Tier 1 capital – the most expensive and most reliable tier of holdings – or whether it will permit less

Bitcoin Jumps 2.3% to $82K After Trumps Iran Rejection

Bitcoin (BTC) surged 2.3% to $82,350 on Sunday after U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Irans peace proposal, signaling prolonged tensions in the Middle East. The move erased nearly $64 million in short positions, according to Coinglass data.　　The cryptocurrency initially dipped to $80,520 following Trump‘s comments on Truth Social, where he labeled Iran’s counteroffer as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.” Within three hours, Bitcoin reversed course, climbing to $82,347 per CoinGecko data. This volatility underscores Bitcoins role as a potential hedge during geopolitical uncertainty.　　Market reactions extended beyond crypto. Oil prices jumped 4.6% to $98.70 per barrel, reflecting concerns over the ongoing conflict near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil trade. Meanwhile, S&P 500 futures rose a modest 0.13% shortly after Trumps announcement.　　The U.S.-Iran war, which began in late February, has disrupted global markets for over two months. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu added fuel to the fire, stating the conflict would persist until Irans nuclear facilities are dismantled—a comment that further clouds the timeline for resolution.　　Regulatory Catalysts Could Support Bitcoin　　Bitcoin‘s recent price resilience might also benefit from upcoming U.S. regulatory developments. Markus Thielen, CEO of 10x Research, pointed to two key catalysts this week: the Senate’s vote on Kevin Warsh‘s

US Treasury Secretary Bessent meets Japans Takaichi Tuesday to discuss yen stability and economic security

Tech　　US Treasury Secretary Bessent meets Japans Takaichi Tuesday to discuss yen stability and economic security　　US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Tuesday at 4 PM to talk about currency markets, economic security, and the broader trajectory of the US-Japan relationship.　　Japan has been actively intervening to prop up the yen against the US dollar in recent weeks, pushing the exchange rate from above 160 down to around 152 since April.　　Whats on the table in Tokyo　　The meetings agenda covers yen stability, economic security, rare earth supply chains, and energy procurement.　　Bessent has publicly affirmed the importance of cooperation on currency stability following Japans recent interventions to counter speculative selling of the yen. Japan has positioned itself as a leader in energy finance, and both countries have signaled interest in investment screening frameworks similar to CFIUS, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.　　The yen intervention backdrop　　Since April, the Japanese currency has strengthened against the dollar, moving from levels above 160 to around 152. Speculative selling had been hammering the yen for months, driven by the interest rate differential between the US and Japan. Japans response was to step into the market directly, buying yen and

Swedish Krona: Dovish Riksbank weighs on currency – MUFG

Finance　　Swedish Krona: Dovish Riksbank weighs on currency – MUFG　　MUFG analysts argue that the Swedish Krona is underperforming as the Riksbank, central bank of Sweden, stays cautious despite the energy shock. With inflation soft and policy described as a “good initial position”, they see little chance of a near-term hike, and note that even optimism on a US/Iran deal has not yet sparked a meaningful Swedish Krona (SEK) rebound.　　Soft inflation keeps Riksbank patient　　“In contrast, the Riksbank in Sweden is not in a rush to follow the Norges Bank in raising rates. Recent weaker growth and softer inflation have given the Riksbank greater scope to look through the energy price shock. The latest CPI report showed headline inflation falling into negative territory in April, while core inflation (CPIF excluding energy) remained flat.”　　“These developments have provided the Riksbank with leeway to signal that the current policy rate offers a ”good initial position“ from which to adjust monetary policy if needed to safeguard the inflation target. The Riksbank did note though that it would consider raising the policy rate if the war were to have significant effects on the global economy and lead to a ”broad and persistent“ increase in inflation.”　　“This cautious guidance suggests

These forces could push Bitcoin higher this week even as US-Iran tensions continue to rattle markets

Bitcoin is entering one of its most consequential trading weeks since its February correction, with Middle East tensions pushing oil prices higher, inflation expectations hardening, and options traders positioning for a possible break above $85,000.　　According to data, the largest digital asset briefly dipped on Sunday after President Donald Trump rejected Irans latest response to a US peace proposal, then recovered above $82,000 before easing near $81,034 as of press time.　　The move kept Bitcoin inside the narrow range that has defined trading in recent weeks, even as geopolitical risk continued to feed into energy markets and rate expectations.　　Notably, Trump called Irans counteroffer “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE” after Tehran sought war reparations, the unfreezing of blocked financial assets, and recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.　　The waterway has become the main channel through which the US-Iran conflict is reaching global markets, given its role in the movement of oil and liquefied natural gas.　　That continued market tension has created a difficult setup for Bitcoin, as a prolonged oil shock can keep inflation sticky, delay Federal Reserve rate cuts, and pressure speculative assets.　　Yet Bitcoin has continued to hold near $80,000, while options data, fund flows, and Washingtons crypto calendar suggest traders may be underestimating

Ethereum, BMNR news: Bitmine buys 26K ether (ETH) after Tom Lee said to slow down accumulation

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) has sharply slowed its ether (ETH) purchase pace as Chairman Tom Lee signaled, following months of aggressive buying that made it the worlds largest Ethereum treasury company.　　The firm bought 26,659 ether last week, worth about $63 million based on ether‘s current price. That’s roughly a quarter of the average weekly haul it purchased over the past weeks.　　The purchase lifted Bitmine‘s holdings to over 5.2 million ETH, or around 4.31% of ether’s circulating supply, according to a Monday company update.　　The update follows comments Lee made last week at Consensus 2026 in Miami, where he said BitMine may begin moderating its buying pace after one of the fastest accumulation runs in the crypto market.　　The slowdown follows comments Tom Lee made last week at Consensus 2026 in Miami, where he said Bitmine was considering easing purchases as it approached its long-term goal of acquiring 5% of Ethereums supply.　　“We have decided to slow down our pace of weekly accumulation from over 100,000 [ETH] per week,” Lee said in Mondays statement. “Our previous pace of buys would have us reach 5% by mid-July.”　　Bitmine remains one of the few major digital asset treasury firms still consistently buying crypto during the recent market

Manhattan luxury real estate sales risedespite pied-à-terre tax

Mamdanis press spokesman said the mayor “wants all New Yorkers to succeed” but that “the tax system is fundamentally broken. It rewards extreme wealth while working people are pushed to the brink.”　　The tax also faces big questions about implementation — and how to value New York properties.　　New York‘s antiquated assessment system values properties far below their market value and leaves a small number of apartments valued at $5 million or more. Griffin’s $238 million apartment is assessed by the city at $6.99 million and valued at only $15.5 million, CNBC previously reported.　　Hochul announced last week that she and the legislature had reached an agreement on the broad outlines of a state budget, which includes the pied-à-terre tax. She has not announced any details on the proposal, including the rates, timing and valuation system.　　Get Inside Wealth directly to your inbox　　Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a moment from the most trusted name in business news.
