Japan is set to approve the first stablecoin backed by yen. Unlike many stablecoins that are primarily used for cryptocurrency trading, the JPYC token is designed for broader purposes. It could facilitate cross-border remittances, corporate payments, and decentralized finance (DeFi). For Japanese companies and individuals, this means faster and more cost-effective transactions without leaving the country's regulated financial system. JPYC is not the only player. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMBC), Japan's second-largest bank, has plans to launch a stablecoin with blockchain companies Ava Labs and Fireblocks. Circle has also entered the Japanese market; its stablecoin USDC received approval from the FSA in March 2025 to operate on SBI VC Trade. Circle plans to expand to Binance Japan, bitbank, and bitFlyer, which together serve millions of users. $USDC
The FBI recorded $5.8 billion in losses due to cryptocurrency fraud in 2024, but experts say the actual figure is more than double, as most cases go unreported.
🇺🇲 Wyoming becomes the first U.S. state to launch a stablecoin, $FRNT, backed by dollars and Treasury bonds, though it is still not available to the public.
Good morning, friends! ☀️ We want to start today with an analysis of a very interesting metric.
According to data from Crypto Quant: ➡️ Long-term investors (from previous cycles) are selling BTC, but not on a large scale yet...
Long-term holders (LTH) have begun to realize net sales 🔽 right at the resistance level of $120,000, a historically significant psychological level. This change suggests that some investors who held on during previous cycles may be starting to take profits. So far, the magnitude of the profit-taking is not a cause for concern 😁. But there is one name to watch: Galaxy Digital. According to reports, 80,000 BTC were sold, and this is not a massive retail sale; we are talking about considerable volumes. 💲 🗣 Overall, I don't see anything critical in this. Especially considering that some of these funds have already been allocated to the altcoin market ✅. As we have already mentioned, at this stage the interest of major players is shifting from BTC to #altcoins. $BTC $XRP

Palantir was funded by In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital division.
From day one, it was not a startup… but an intelligence weapon. What is its purpose? To build the foundation of software for mass surveillance and control.
Palantir already knows more about you than your government, your bank, and your doctor combined. $XRP
