The Bank of Mexico's new stability report flags liquidity, contagion and regulatory-arbitrage risks as crypto adoption accelerates in Latin America. Mexico’s central bank warned in a new financial stability report that “stablecoins pose significant potential risks to financial stability,” citing their rapid growth, links to traditional finance and global regulatory gaps that could fuel arbitrage and magnify market stress. Stablecoins’ heavy reliance on short-term US Treasurys, market concentration with two issuers controlling 86% of the supply and past depegging episodes with stablecoins underscore how vulnerable the sector remains to stress, according to the Banxico report. Without coordinated international safeguards, mass redemptions or issuer failures could spill into broader funding markets, the central bank warned. Read more -

ERCOT reported a record surge in large-load requests, with AI data centers surpassing Bitcoin miners and reshaping Texas’s grid planning and reliability outlook.

The figures, highlighted in The Miner Mag’s latest newsletter and drawn from ERCOT’s new System Planning and Weatherization Update, point to a grid facing a fundamentally different kind of growth. ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state’s independent power grid and oversees reliable electric service for about 90% of Texans, reported that its large-load interconnection queue has ballooned to 226 gigawatts of new requests, roughly 73% tied to AI facilities.

Caroline Crenshaw, the financial agency’s sole remaining Democratic commissioner, is expected to depart in January, 18 months after her official term ended.

The commissioner, expected to depart in January after her term officially ended in June 2024, also criticized many crypto users and the agency’s response to the markets. Read more -

The UK’s financial watchdog has put British pound‑pegged stablecoin payments on its 2026 growth agenda, as London scrambles to keep its edge in digital finance. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has made pound-denominated stablecoin payments a top priority for 2026, fast-tracking a dedicated regulatory sandbox for prospective issuers ahead of new digital-asset rules. The watchdog said the move is part of a package of “ambitious new growth measures” for next year, aimed at supporting UK‑issued stablecoins as a way to make payments faster and more convenient. In a letter to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer this week, the regulator outlined almost 50 reforms aimed at strengthening the UK’s position as a global financial hub. Among them, the FCA flagged advancing UK-issued pound stablecoins in 2026 as a central milestone in its broader growth strategy. Read more -

Blockchain data is casting doubt on the “for the people” launch narrative of memecoin Pepe, with new analysis suggesting that almost a third of the initial supply was held by a single entity and contributed to heavy early selling pressure. About 30% of the Pepe (PEPE) token supply was bundled at launch in April 2023, blockchain data visualization platform Bubblemaps claimed on Wednesday in a post on X, adding that investors were “lied to.” The same wallet cluster sold $2 million worth of PEPE tokens the day after launch, adding significant sell pressure that stopped the token from surpassing the $12 billion milestone, according to Bubblemaps.
