  • Fintechs and neobanks drive the next era of stablecoin adoption
    Cointelegraph.com - 08:30 Nov 02, 2025
    Fintechs bypass traditional banking to offer stablecoin access, yield and spending in emerging markets. Programmable money leapfrogs legacy infrastructure. Opinion by: Morgan Krupetsky, vice president of Onchain Finance at Ava Labs On the heels of the GENIUS Act’s passing, the next era of stablecoin usage is being driven by a growing cohort of fintechs and neobanks — integrating stablecoins into their product and service offerings, going where traditional systems have found it economically or operationally infeasible to do so, and, as such, growing their competitive edge.  These challenger systems are providing a direct way for people and businesses to more readily access and store stable value in mobile wallets; to navigate financial stability concerns around hyperinflation and currency volatility; to effectuate remittances and other cross-border transactions; to access credit and savings; and ultimately to spend down or against their holdings in real time.  Read more

  • Crypto market sentiment stays in ‘Fear’ following Trump’s deal with China
    Cointelegraph.com - 06:46 Nov 02, 2025
    A crypto analyst said the crypto market crash in October will be looked back on as one of the “bottom days in hindsight." A widely used crypto market sentiment indicator has remained in uncertain territory despite improved clarity on trade relations between US and China. It comes as US President Donald Trump reached a trade deal with China this week. However, some crypto analysts suggest the announcement could soon have a positive impact on the crypto market. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, posted a “Fear” score of 37 on Sunday, up 4 points from its “Fear” score of 33 on Saturday. The slight uptick comes as the White House released a comprehensive statement outlining the trade agreement reached between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Read more

  • Bitcoin showing signs of being in the midst of initial coin offering, analyst says
    Cointelegraph.com - 01:11 Nov 02, 2025
    Bitcoin might be moving sideways, but Jordi Visser says there is still faith in the underlying asset, as shown through ETF approvals and the Bitcoin network hashrate hitting new highs. Bitcoin could be in the middle of an unofficial initial coin offering (ICO) as OG holders rotate out and fresh blood scoops up the tokens, distributing the supply across a broader number of people, macro analyst and Wall Street old hand Jordi Visser says.  In a Saturday episode of entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano’s podcast and a post on Substack, Visser said old coins that have been dormant for years are on the move, “Not all at once. Not in panic. But steadily,” and new investors are stepping in, “accumulating on dips.”  “In the traditional world, this moment is called an IPO. It’s the moment when early believers cash out, when founders become wealthy, when venture capitalists return money to their limited partners,” he said. Read more

  • Columbia Business professor casts doubt on tokenized bank deposits
    Cointelegraph.com - 22:14 Nov 01, 2025
    Tokenized bank deposits lack the flexibility and technical features of stablecoins, making them an inferior product, according to Omid Malekan. Banks and financial institutions have started experimenting with tokenized bank deposits, bank balances recorded on a blockchain, but the technology is doomed to lose out to stablecoins, according to Omid Malekan, an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. Overcollateralized stablecoin issuers, who must maintain 1:1 cash or short-term cash equivalent reserves to back their tokens, are safer from a liability perspective than the fractional reserve banks that would issue tokenized bank deposits, Malekan said.  Stablecoins are also composable, meaning they can be transferred across the crypto ecosystem and used in various applications, unlike tokenized deposits, which are permissioned, have know-your-customer (KYC) controls, and have restricted functionality.

  • Digital euro CBDC is 'symbol of trust in our common destiny' — ECB head
    Cointelegraph.com - 20:39 Nov 01, 2025

European Central Bank (ECB) president Christine Lagarde released a statement on Friday touting the digital euro, a central bank digital currency (CBDC), as a unifying force in the European Union (EU) and said the ECB is aiming to launch it “as early as possible.” “As much as banknotes will continue to circulate, we want cash to be in the form of a digital euro as well,” Lagarde said, adding that the central bank digital currency could be used for online payments in the EU. She continued: The ECB governing council announced on Thursday that it will move ahead with building the technical infrastructure to test and deploy a retail CBDC, slated to begin rolling out in 2029, if EU lawmakers pass legislation allowing the ECB to issue it.

  • MEV driving institutions away from DeFi, costing users dearly: Crypto exec
    Cointelegraph.com - 17:54 Nov 01, 2025
    Broadcasting transactions before they are executed imposes a "hidden tax" on retail crypto users while alienating financial institutions. Maximal extractable value (MEV), the process of miners or validators reordering transactions in a block to extract profits, is preventing financial institutions from adopting decentralized finance (DeFi), which hurts retail users, according to Aditya Palepu, CEO of DEX Labs, the lead contributor to decentralized crypto derivatives exchange DerivaDEX. All electronically-traded markets suffer from maximal extractable value or similar issues inherent in the information asymmetry in ordering trading transaction data, Palepu told Cointelegraph.  The solution is to prevent order flow data from being visible before execution through processing transactions in trusted execution environments, which handle transactions privately through a funded vault or some other mechanism, Palepu said. He added: Read more
