🇺🇸👀 House Democrats are preparing to introduce a bill that would ban government employees from launching memcoins and profiting from digital assets.

The latest stablecoin bill in the United States has stirred further controversy. While some say this is a calculated action to preserve economic stability, others view this strategy as more biased in favor of helping home financial firms. Co-founder of Framework Ventures, Vance Spencer, even stated that by preventing access for overseas stablecoin issuers to the US bond market, this restriction would undermine the global dominance of the US dollar. Still, is that exactly the case? I don't comment directly on regulation much but I would like to flag an emerging regulatory battle that is happening in D.C. The soon-to-be revealed stablecoin markup apparently has requirements to shut off access to the treasury market to centralized international stablecoin… — Vance Spencer (@pythianism) February 24, 2025 The measure demands the Treasury Department to investigate the possible risks of self-backed stablecoins and suggests a two-year ban on them. Simultaneously, the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is given more power to oversee stablecoin issuers, thereby maintaining the stability and control of the financial system, as we previously reported . This control on paper appears appropriate. Giving the OCC complete authority allows the government to make sure stablecoins never start to jeopardize the economy. Critics have responded, though, since this control is also seen to restrict access for foreign stablecoin issuers to the US bond market, therefore compromising global financial ecosystem flexibility. Particularly during the Trump presidency, the crypto sector is currently rather aggressive in enhancing its political impact. Although opinions on the policy have been divided, the White House and Congress’s dedication to enact rules pertaining to digital assets is seen as a significant industrial step. After all, the sector now fits into the larger financial ecosystem rather than being only a technology experiment. But with more stringent rules, one wonders: are political interests at hand, or is this truly for economic protection? Spencer thinks that this approach helps home finance groups striving to keep control over the market. Similarly worried was Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. He claims that rivals try to replace Tether from the US stablecoin market by using political ties. Should this approach be followed, USDT—the most widely used stablecoin worldwide—may lose ground in the nation serving as the hub for global financial activities. Developing nations dependent on USDT for dollar-based transactions could potentially suffer as a result. Furthermore, limitations on foreign stablecoin issuers could delay down development in the digital finance industry. Some experts even warn that this approach would encourage innovation outside of the US, therefore undermining American hegemony in the industry. Is this regulation really meant to safeguard the US economy, or is it rather a barrier to steady coin expansion? The solution is yet unknown. One is certain that this approach will significantly affect the way stablecoins are controlled and utilized in the next few years. Furthermore, should the two-year restriction be maintained, it is not improbable that the market may seek substitutes outside the US.

A sudden dip in Bitcoin’s hash rate has sparked discussions within the crypto community. Though fluctuations are not uncommon, the scale of this decline draws comparisons to past major disruptions. What does this mean for miners and network stability in the near term? Mining Slowdown? The Bitcoin network’s hash rate has experienced a significant short-term drop, currently at 807.26M TH/s (30DMA), down from its 30-day high of 997.4M TH/s. This decline suggests that miners are shutting down machines, a trend similar to past major disruptions like the China Mining Ban back in May 2021 as well as the April 2024 drop. Despite this, network difficulty remains at all-time highs and will take time to adjust, as per popular crypto analyst Maartunn’s latest findings. A lower hash rate slows block production, triggering a difficulty adjustment after 2,016 blocks (approximately two weeks). While short-term fluctuations impact mining conditions, the broader trend remains stable, with Bitcoin’s self-correcting mechanism ensuring long-term network security and efficiency. The latest drop in hash rate comes as Bitcoin fell below the $87,000 threshold for the first time since November 2024, which has sparked concerns about a potential further downturn. In the past 24 hours, the leading cryptocurrency plunged over 10%, hitting a low of $86,300 before a slight recovery. This dip, in turn, has resulted in approximately 12% of all Bitcoin addresses holding at a loss, according to the data shared by IntoTheBlock, and marks the highest percentage of unrealized losses since October 2024. It essentially means that many investors who bought near recent highs are now in negative territory. Institutional Bitcoin Demand at Risk Additionally, the ongoing sell-offs in US spot Bitcoin ETFs have intensified, with February 24th alone recording over $516 million in net outflows and marking the sixth consecutive day of selling pressure. Experts suggest that the primary driver behind these liquidations is the escalating trade tensions between the US and China. A similar sentiment was echoed by QCP Capital which highlighted that market sentiment remains under strain due to Trump’s recent tariff policies on Canada and Mexico, along with measures to restrict Chinese investment. These macroeconomic factors have contributed to increased uncertainty, prompting investors to offload Bitcoin ETF holdings, which has further pressured the market. Despite previous concerns over broader market weakness, equities, fixed income, and gold have largely stabilized, while Bitcoin remains flat. BTC’s dominance continues to rise, with altcoins sliding, indicating that bullish traders may already be fully invested, leaving little room for new capital inflows outside of Bitcoin. QCP Capital said that it remains cautious in its latest update, noting that recent Bitcoin demand has been institution-driven, particularly through firms like Strategy (previously known as MicroStrategy), which has relied on equity-linked note issuances for funding. Over the past 14 months, crypto-related issuances accounted for 19% of total issuance, hinting that the market for such financing may be reaching a saturation point. If Bitcoin’s price remains stagnant, this could dampen further institutional demand and potentially limit upside momentum. The post April 2024 Flashback?
