This year is already halfway through, and the evolution of the cryptocurrency industry is accelerating. If you're still only focused on candlestick charts, you may have already missed the real opportunities. In the past two days, policies, institutions, and technologies have aligned, and the market is quietly 'changing its base'.
I have compiled 5 key news items:
1. The U.S. accelerates stablecoin legislation, lobbying spending breaks records
According to Axios, the legislative process for the 'GENIUS Stablecoin Act' has sped up. In the first half of 2025, lobbying spending by the cryptocurrency industry in Washington has exceeded $100 million, setting a historical high.
Highlight: Institutions have not exited but are positioning themselves for new rules in advance.
2. FATF warns: Many countries still lack regulation
The FATF report states that among 138 member countries, only 40 have completed compliance with cryptocurrency anti-money laundering. In 2024, over $51 billion will be involved in illegal activities through cryptocurrency wallets.
Highlight: The 'travel rule' will profoundly impact cross-border identity verification and on-chain privacy trends.
3. Circle partners with PayPal and Fiserv to launch FIUSD, deploying Solana
Payment giant Fiserv has collaborated with USDC issuer Circle to launch the stablecoin FIUSD, supporting interoperability with PayPal, and deploying on Solana, focusing on low fees and high-speed transfers.
Highlight: The competition for stablecoins is shifting towards the ability to integrate with traditional payment systems.
4. Goldman Sachs and Citadel invest in on-chain bond infrastructure
Goldman Sachs, Citadel, and financial institutions like Tradeweb have invested $135 million in the blockchain company Digital Asset, aiming to build an on-chain issuance and trading system for real assets (bonds, notes, etc.).
Highlight: RWA is moving from concept to the main battlefield of Wall Street.
5. SoFi restarts cryptocurrency business, supports BTC and ETH
The U.S. financial platform SoFi announced the resumption of Bitcoin and Ethereum trading services and will launch on-chain transfer and asset custody functions by the end of the year. Services were previously suspended due to regulatory issues.
Highlight: More and more compliant platforms are re-embracing cryptocurrency assets.
These news items share a common point: traditional financial forces are returning to blockchain.
Whether it is stablecoins accessing payments, RWA implementation, or compliant platforms returning, it indicates that the cryptocurrency industry is moving from the narrative phase to the infrastructure phase.
The real opportunity is no longer just speculation but participation in the construction of the next generation of financial systems.
