Circle's USDC will become eligible collateral for futures trading in the US
USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar created by Circle and Coinbase, will become collateral for futures trading in the US as part of a joint initiative by Coinbase Derivatives and Nodal Clear.
Coinbase Derivatives is expanding its partnership with the clearinghouse Nodal Clear to introduce Circle's USDC stablecoin into US futures markets as eligible collateral.
On Wednesday, the companies announced that USDC will now be accepted as collateral for margined futures trading, a move designed to encourage the adoption of stablecoins in regulated derivatives markets.
The integration is subject to approval by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and Coinbase Derivatives and Nodal Clear are working with the authority to introduce USDC into the US futures market.
"This is expected to be the first regulated use case of USDC as collateral and Coinbase Custody Trust will be leveraged as the custodian," stated Coinbase Derivatives in the announcement.
"A true cash equivalent"
Coinbase Derivatives and Nodal Clear aim for the debut of USDC as eligible collateral for US futures sometime in 2026.
Nodal Clear, a derivatives clearing organization regulated by the CFTC, is part of the EEX Group, which belongs to the German multinational Deutsche Börse. Coinbase Derivatives is also a designated contract market registered with the CFTC that lists contracts for trading derivatives based on an underlying commodity.

BREAKING NEWS The US Senate approves the stablecoin bill GENIUS Act
The Senate has just voted to approve the GENIUS Act, ensuring that this bill will become law. It will have massive implications for crypto regulation in the United States, creating a new framework for stablecoins.
Several Democrats expressed their opposition to the bill, but it was passed with strong bipartisan support.
The GENIUS Act will come into effect
The regulation of stablecoins is a hot topic in the crypto industry right now, and the GENIUS Act represents a major breakthrough for innovation. After months of debate and failed votes, a series of new amendments and bipartisan support have brought it to the finish line. Now, it will only need the signature of President Trump to take effect.
Several major institutions have already anticipated this move and are preparing accordingly. Both JPMorgan and Bank of America have announced plans to launch their own stablecoin soon.
The GENIUS Act will impose new restrictions on stablecoin issuers, requiring them to purchase large sums of US Treasury bonds. This requirement led Tether to buy more Treasury bonds than most states, potentially giving stablecoins new influence in global finance.
President Trump has big plans for this industry, assigning them a role in the dominance of the dollar. Some Democratic senators strongly opposed the GENIUS Act, seeing it as a pathway to crypto corruption of trump$BTC

The Senate approves the bill on stablecoins, a victory for cryptocurrencies and Trump
The United States Senate passed the legislation on stablecoins with a vote of 68 to 30, establishing regulatory rules for cryptocurrencies linked to the dollar. The legislation requires that dollar-linked stablecoins maintain dollar-for-dollar reserves in short-term government debt or similar products overseen by state or federal regulators. The approval of the bill is considered a victory for the cryptocurrency industry and for President Donald Trump, and industry supporters hope it will turn stablecoins into a widely used form of payment.

Powell's alert adjusts the bets: How much will the Fed delay rate cuts?
The alerts that Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States (Fed), issued yesterday after the monetary policy meeting have divided the bets among analysts and the market.
*Get ahead of the rate cuts: With InvestingPro you will have all the tools and proven strategies to maximize your profits even if the Fed delays the cuts. Click here to subscribe and shield your portfolio from uncertainty, now with a discount of up to 45%!
"The risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation seem to have increased," said the central banker yesterday about the effects of Donald Trump's tariff policies. These remarks came after the decision of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to keep the interest rate unchanged, in the range of 4.25% – 4.50%.
"The Fed is trying to be very cautious in the face of the high uncertainty that is currently being experienced. While it is very likely that the implementation of tariffs will have an upward impact on inflation and a downward impact on economic growth and employment, the magnitudes are very unclear," said analysts from Grupo Financiero Banorte (BMV:GFNORTEO).
By acknowledging a high degree of uncertainty and lack of clarity about the effects of Donald Trump's tariff policies on the U.S. economy, Powell has insisted that "we do not have to rush" to adjust the rates again.
Analysts from Monex said that in the coming months, a deterioration in employment and an inflationary spike could be observed as a direct consequence of the tariffs. In light of this, they considered that the Fed "is buying time to identify which of the two mandates (price stability and maximum employment) is affected first and most intensely, and thus define."

Is Bitcoin's Imminent Fall Coming? Whales and Retail Investors Surprise with Their Movement
As Bitcoin (BTC) wavers amid rising geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran – falling from $110,530 on June 9 to just over $106,900 today – concerns are growing that BTC's bullish momentum may have stalled. However, on-chain data suggests that both Bitcoin whales and retail investors still anticipate a further rise for the leading cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin Whale and Retail Investor Flows to Binance Plummet
According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor Darkfost, Bitcoin flows to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance from two distinct cohorts – whales and retail investors – have fallen to their lowest levels in the current market cycle.
Darkfost shared the following chart illustrating that Bitcoin whale flows to Binance have reached their lowest point since 2024. Similarly, retail investor flows are also at their lowest since 2024, indicating a strong preference to hold rather than sell.

Bitcoin remains at $105,000, while HYPE, AAVE, BCH, and OKB aim to drive altcoins higher
Bitcoin is trading above $105,000, even with the looming threat of war in the Middle East. HYPE, BCH, AAVE, and OKB could also see gains if BTC maintains its current range.

Key points:
A week of strong inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs improves the outlook for a rise towards $110,000.
HYPE, BCH, AAVE, and OKB could increase if Bitcoin stays above $105,000.
Bitcoin BTC91,489 € is forming a Doji candle pattern on the weekly chart, indicating indecision between buyers and sellers. Despite short-term uncertainty, analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin's prospects in 2025 and expect a surge of $140,000 to $270,000.
Another positive sign is that the geopolitical turmoil caused by the conflict between Israel and Iran has not created panic among investors. According to data from Farside Investors, U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded inflows of $86.3 million on Thursday and $301.7 million on Friday, bringing the total weekly inflows to $1.37 billion.

Hello everyone. Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated to alarming levels. In recent days, Israel launched a massive airstrike against Iranian nuclear facilities, especially in Natanz, leaving dozens dead and hundreds injured. Iran responded with a barrage of missiles and drones over Israeli cities like Tel Aviv, increasing fears of a regional war. The international community is calling for restraint, while global markets react with uncertainty. This confrontation is not only military but also strategic and political, with possible global implications. We will be monitoring for more updates. Follow us to stay informed.

Ethereum soars: Towards $10,000?
Ethereum’s price action this week has been very notable, with the leading altcoin breaking above $2,800 again for the first time in four months. Ethereum managed to break above the $2,800 mark for the first time since February, briefly touching $2,870 before pulling back slightly.
Two separate analyses from cryptocurrency strategist Crypto Patel on the social media platform X suggest that Ethereum is now on the right track. The first, based on an 8-hour chart, highlights a rally towards $4,000. The second, using a long-term two-week timeframe, describes a bullish setup that could cause Ethereum to soar to $10,000 and beyond.
Ethereum's breakout from the sideways consolidation zone
In a recent analysis shared on X, a cryptocurrency analyst known as Crypto Patel highlighted Ethereum's attempt to break out of its established range. Using the 8-hour candlestick chart, he pointed out how Ethereum had spent many weeks since early May trading between a clear support at $2,366 and a resistance around $2,734. The breakout seen on the chart occurred just above this resistance zone, when Ethereum briefly surpassed $2,800 before facing some resistance.
If this breakout holds above $2,800, Ethereum could initiate a strong bullish rally towards the $3,500 to $4,000 region in the coming weeks. Crypto Patel emphasized the importance of observing whether Ethereum remains above the breakout line of $2,750, as a successful confirmation could trigger an influx of bullish momentum.
Ethereum towards $10,000 in the long term
$ETH

Bitcoin's recent price action has shown signs of decreasing momentum three weeks after reaching a new all-time high of $111,814. The leading cryptocurrency surged above $110,000 on Monday thanks to cooling U.S. inflation data and a temporarily weaker dollar.
However, the rally was short-lived. Profit-taking, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, has contributed to a risk-averse environment that has pushed Bitcoin below $105,000 in the last 24 hours. This sharp change highlights a significant technical level that could determine whether Bitcoin maintains its upward trend or falls towards $94,000.
Final Fibonacci resistance holding the line
According to a new analysis shared by the pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst XForceGlobal on the social media platform X, Bitcoin's current corrective structure could deepen if it does not surpass the 88.6% Fibonacci resistance level. The analyst noted that the bullish momentum that drove Bitcoin now appears to be losing strength.
The price zone around $110,500, marked by the 88.6% Fibonacci resistance, has not been convincingly broken, raising doubts about the strength of the current wave structure. Bitcoin tested this level twice earlier this week and, as the analyst pointed out, if this resistance level is not breached soon, there is a slight possibility of a deeper correction.
If this correction occurs, it would lead to the formation of a corrective wave C, with a distinct symmetry in an ABC corrective pattern. In this case of corrective wave C developing, the next central area of interest lies around the $94,000 level, an area that aligns with the completion of a larger impulsive wave 2.

The crypto sector is approaching a "turning point" as ties with TradFi tighten, according to the FSB
Outgoing FSB Chairman Klaas Knot says stablecoins and ETFs are accelerating the integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional finance, raising concerns about systemic risks.
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is sounding the alarm about the growing risks in the cryptocurrency sector, warning that interconnections with traditional finance are nearing a critical threshold.
In statements made on Thursday in Madrid, outgoing FSB Chairman Klaas Knot stated that, although cryptocurrencies do not yet pose a systemic risk to traditional finance, that situation may not last much longer. "We may be approaching a turning point," he said.
Knot noted that the barriers to entry for retail investors have "significantly decreased," especially with the introduction of cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Cryptocurrency ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to digital assets without having to manage private keys, use e-wallets, or navigate exchange platforms.
Knot added that another area of concern is the stablecoin market. He pointed out that issuers now hold large amounts of U.S. Treasury bonds, which increases the ties between cryptocurrencies and traditional finance. "It’s a segment we clearly need to watch closely"

Bitcoin retreats amid new tariff threats from Donald Trump
During the day on Thursday, the price of Bitcoin sharply retreats and investors are once again backed against the wall. The reason for this drop in BTC and other alternative coins is due to new statements from U.S. President Donald Trump. The tycoon threatens to impose tariffs within two weeks.
The tycoon's statements come in the midst of a context that seemed positive for the markets. This Tuesday, two positive events occurred for financial assets, such as the inflation data. The CPI performed better than expected during the month of May in the United States, which presented an optimistic outlook for the economy.
On the other hand, delegations from China and the U.S. reported that they had reached an agreement in their trade dispute. Although the precise details of the clauses are not yet known, President Trump and the Chinese delegates labeled the agreement as positive. A third positive event is that Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick assured that the EU was also next in line for agreements.

The Bitcoin DeFi platform, Alex, was the victim of an $8.3 million exploit and promises a full refund.
The Alex Protocol was affected by an $8.3 million exploit on Stacks; users will receive a full refund in USDC after a structured claims process.
The decentralized financial platform Alex Protocol, which operates on the Stacks blockchain with Bitcoin, suffered a serious attack on June 6. The attack resulted in the loss of approximately $8.3 million in digital assets from the Stacks network, making it one of the largest incidents in the ecosystem. A vulnerability in the platform's self-listing verification system allowed the attacker to extract multiple types of assets.
The Alex protocol confirms an $8.3 million vulnerability in a security breach on the Stacks network.
The attacker managed to steal 8.4 million Stacks tokens, 21.85 Bitcoin Stacks, 149,850 USDC, 149,850 USDT, and 2.8 Wrapped Bitcoin. The protocol quickly acknowledged the breach through its official X channel and attributed the exploit to a failure in the smart contract verification logic.
The Alex Lab Foundation, which oversees the platform's operations, responded by announcing a full refund plan. The foundation confirmed that affected users will receive compensation in stablecoins USDC through a structured and timely claims process.
Structured Refund Plan Begins
Following the exploit, the Alex Lab team stated that it would distribute customized claim forms to affected wallets before June 8. These on-chain notifications will include the required documentation and wallet address submission forms for claim verification.
Users must complete and submit the forms no later than June 10. Compensation amounts will be calculated using the average on-chain exchange rates between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM UTC on the day of the exploit.

Bitcoin: Calm before the storm? Key economic data will define its future this week
The Singapore-based trading firm, QCP Capital, opened its Monday note with a blunt assessment: "Implied volatilities continue to be under pressure, with BTC stuck in a narrow range as summer approaches." According to the options house, the market is shifting towards the northern hemisphere holiday season in the same way it did a year ago, when one-month volatility in the at-the-money (ATM) price plummeted from 80 volatilities in March to just 40 in July, and the spot price repeatedly "failed to decisively break the $70,000 level." The difference this year is the new higher plateau: BTC has remained between $100,000 and $110,000 for most of the past three weeks.
The calm is visible beyond Deribit's options screens. Deribit's DVOL index, which tracks 30-day implied volatility, remains just above 40, one of its lowest readings in over two years. Realized volatility is even quieter, so even the yearly lows in implieds still seem "optically rich," argues QCP (https://www.qcpgroup.com/insights/asia-colour-125/). This valuation gap has encouraged traders to sell gamma: open interest in perpetuals has decreased and the favorite hedge fund hedging trade — long in spot through new ETFs, short in futures — has unwound, removing what QCP calls "the natural supply of volatility" from the market.
Flows in the listed options market confirm the unease. Traders report that July call options around $130,000 and $140,000 are being moved to September "in significant size," effectively pushing bullish timelines lower down the curve. Meanwhile.

Big Tech Stablecoins are stable digital currencies developed or promoted by large technology companies such as Meta (formerly Facebook), Amazon, Apple, or Google. These stablecoins are designed to maintain a stable value, generally linked to the dollar or other fiat currencies, and would be directly integrated into the platforms and services of these companies, enabling instant global payments within their ecosystems. One example was Diem, the Meta project that was canceled after receiving regulatory pressure. These currencies have the potential to revolutionize the financial system by offering more efficient alternatives to traditional banks, but they also raise concerns about centralized control, user privacy, and potential direct competition with national currencies. Although they have not yet been launched on a large scale, they represent a powerful trend in the convergence of finance and technology.

Crypto Fees is a platform that shows how much different blockchains and protocols generate in fees paid by their users daily. This data reflects the level of real usage of a decentralized network or application (dApp), which is key to assessing its adoption and long-term value. The website ranks protocols such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, Uniswap, Aave, among others, showing both the fees of the last 24 hours and the average of the last 7 days. It also indicates who receives those fees, whether they are validators, miners, or liquidity providers. It is a fundamental tool for investors looking for projects with true economic utility, beyond speculation. By comparing fees among platforms, one can identify which ecosystems are generating greater activity and which are losing traction, which can influence investment decisions in the crypto sector.

Pi Network warns pioneers about phishing scams with fake wallets
As Pi Network progresses into its open mainnet phase, the core team has issued a new warning to its global users, urging caution against phishing scams that mimic the official Pi Network Wallet interface. These scams are designed to steal secret passwords from unsuspecting users.
The official Pi Network wallet is only available at wallet.pinet.com through the Pi browser. It has a distinctive visual identity with a purple navigation bar and the Pi logo, which includes the icon of the core team applications.
According to the notice, several fake websites have emerged with interfaces almost identical to the original but hosted on misleading URLs. Users who enter their passwords on these fake sites risk losing their Pi permanently.
The Pi browser works similarly to Chrome or Safari. This means users need to verify whether the sites they visit are legitimate. The core team emphasized that it cannot control the use of the browser and urged users to remain vigilant.
No member of the Pi Core team will ever ask for passwords, passcodes, or wallet verification codes. The team also clarified that they do not contact users via phone calls or unsolicited messages. Any interaction of this kind should be regarded as a scam attempt.

Security in cryptocurrencies is key in 2025 against increasing threats such as hacks, malware, and fraud. It is vital to use cold wallets like Ledger or Trezor for secure storage, enable two-factor authentication, protect seed phrases, and avoid suspicious links. Without control of your keys, you do not control your crypto assets.
