FTX creditors may get only a fraction of their expected payouts once adjusted for Bitcoin, Ether and Solana’s current prices, according to creditor representative Sunil. FTX creditors may receive far less than initially believed once payouts are adjusted for today’s inflated crypto valuations, according to Sunil, a prominent FTX creditor representative. In a Sunday post on X, Sunil estimated that the real crypto recovery rate for FTX creditors ranges between 9% and 46%, noting that the actual value could be even lower as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) prices have surged since the exchange’s collapse in 2022. “FTX creditors are not whole,” he wrote, adding that the exchange’s planned 143% fiat repayment doesn’t reflect losses in crypto-denominated terms.

Iran’s energy chief says 95% of the country’s 427,000 crypto mining rigs operate illegally, consuming massive power and destabilizing the national grid. Iran’s crypto mining industry is facing a widespread illegal mining crisis, with authorities estimating that over 95% of the country’s 427,000 active mining devices are operating without authorization. Akbar Hasan Beklou, CEO of the Tehran Province Electricity Distribution Company, said on Sunday that Iran has become the world’s fourth-largest crypto mining hub, fueled by the country’s heavily subsidized electricity prices, which have made it a “paradise for illegal miners.” These unlicensed operations consume more than 1,400 megawatts of power around the clock, placing immense pressure on the national grid and threatening the stability of electricity supplies.

Polymarket’s ban in Romania follows similar crackdowns in the US, France, Belgium, Poland, Singapore and Thailand, where regulators cited unlicensed gambling activity. Romania’s National Office for Gambling (ONJN) has blacklisted leading prediction market Polymarket, calling it an unlicensed gambling platform operating outside state oversight. The decision follows what regulators described as a surge in crypto-based betting during Romania’s presidential and local elections, where Polymarket’s trading volume reportedly exceeded $600 million, according to a recent statement from the regulator. ONJN added that the platform’s activity constitutes “counterpart betting,” meaning users wager money against one another on the outcomes of future events, a model that falls squarely under gambling laws, regardless of its blockchain-based format.

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.

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 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 -

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.
