Policy

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced the launch of a digital assets pilot programme for digital assets to be used as collateral in derivatives markets.

Digital assets such as bitcoin, ether, and USDC — or other payment stablecoins — will be included in the pilot programme.

Markets

U.S. President Donald Trump didn't write crypto policy.

He didn't negotiate legislation or craft regulatory guidance.

But without his sweeping demands from the White House and the pressure he's applied on his political allies in Congress, it's hard to imagine the industry would have had the several major successes it's celebrated during his first year back in office.

Opinion

Picture someone's first day in crypto. They heard the promises about owning their own money, accessing global markets, and participating in the new economy. They download a wallet, buy some ETH, and find an interesting app. Then it happens.
