Mehra said quantum computing will take until the end of the decade to develop. Still, he said, people tend to underestimate the rapid evolution of technology: Read more

Citi and Western Union lead Wall Street’s stablecoin charge as Bitcoin miners and lenders shake up the post-halving crypto landscape. The race to develop stablecoin infrastructure is heating up across Wall Street and corporate America. Citigroup is moving ahead with plans to expand its stablecoin payment capabilities, amid growing speculation that major financial institutions are exploring stablecoin initiatives following the passage of the US GENIUS Act — comprehensive legislation expected to take effect in early 2027.

Custodia said it was “actively considering” petitioning the appellate court for a rehearing following the Tenth Circuit judgment, filed more than five years after its application. A US appellate court has ruled against Custodia Bank, the crypto-friendly institution founded by Caitlin Long, siding with the Federal Reserve in a lower court decision. In a Friday judgment in the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, three circuit judges affirmed a lower court ruling in the District of Wyoming. The appeal, filed in April 2024 after the court ruled against granting Custodia a US Federal Reserve master account, was the latest setback since the crypto-friendly bank first submitted its application in October 2020. “This case comes clothed in 21st Century terms: cryptocurrency, digital assets, instant wire transfers, and master accounts,” said the Friday judgment. “But there is nothing new about this issue. Courts have probed the legality of our nation’s central bank and interpreted the relevant statutes since the...

Michael Saylor still foresees a $150,000 Bitcoin price by the end of the year, despite temporary concerns with import tariff escalations. This week started with a promising cryptocurrency market recovery after a $19 billion market crash earlier in the month, as demand for digital assets started rising with a potential end to the tariff wars on the horizon. Crypto investor attention was largely focused on US President Donald Trump’s meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping, aimed at securing a trade deal to avert new import tariffs. However, the positive momentum took a sharp turn on Wednesday, when Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted $470 million in outflows despite the US Federal Reserve decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points.
