  • Crypto oversight by CFTC over SEC is ‘directionally correct’ — Jeff Park
    Cointelegraph.com - 00:29 Nov 15, 2025
    Jeff Park’s pro-CFTC comments come just days after US senators introduced a bill pushing to shift crypto oversight from the SEC to the CFTC. Despite some complexities around the recently proposed crypto market structure bill, a clearer picture is starting to form regarding crypto market oversight, according to ProCap BTC chief investment officer Jeff Park. “The CFTC will own a larger domain over crypto than the SEC,” Park said during an interview with crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano published on YouTube on Friday, while emphasizing that there is still “lots of complexity with different stakeholders.” “I think that is directionally correct in my opinion,” he said. “The CFTC is in the business of financial innovation at large, and it is in the business of managing capital efficiency, and leverage and derivatives products,” he said, explaining that aligns with what the crypto industry is building, a new settlement layer that brings capital efficiency at different speeds.

  • Binance adds BlackRock’s BUIDL as off-exchange collateral for institutional traders
    Cointelegraph.com - 21:03 Nov 14, 2025
    The integration marks another step in centralized exchanges adopting tokenized Treasurys, expanding RWA collateral across major trading platforms. Binance has begun accepting BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) as off-exchange collateral, giving institutions a way to trade on the exchange while keeping their assets with custodians.

A new BUIDL asset class will also launch on BNB Chain, expanding the token’s reach beyond Ethereum and opening it to a wider set of onchain applications, according to a blog post by Binance on Friday.

Sentiment cooked,” market analyst Nic Puckrin wrote. Read more

    Cointelegraph.com - 20:10 Nov 14, 2025
    Eric Trump shrugs off an extended crypto sell-off as American Bitcoin ramps up its holdings and climbs into the top ranks of public BTC treasuries. Eric Trump, a son of US President Donald Trump and co-founder of American Bitcoin, is undeterred by the recent downturn in the cryptocurrency markets, saying that volatility is the cost of achieving outsized returns.  “I think volatility is your friend,” Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview, as Bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell below $95,000 and stood about 25% lower than its early-October peak. The turbulence has been worse in the altcoin segment, with major assets down from 5% to 11% — part of a weakness that began with the Oct. 10 market crash, which wiped out some $19 billion in leveraged positions.

The bill provides funding to the government until Jan. 30, 2026, and gives Democrats and Republicans more time to strike a deal on broader funding plans for the year ahead.   Read more

  • Real estate hybrid funds challenge DATs with mix of property and Bitcoin
    Cointelegraph.com - 18:35 Nov 14, 2025
    Most crypto treasury companies today lack an operational business that generates cash flow to finance additional digital asset purchases. Real estate investor Grant Cardone is expanding its multifamily housing fund strategy that pairs a traditional commercial property with Bitcoin allocations, offering a hybrid approach to real estate and digital asset exposure. The company recently launched its fifth commercial multifamily investment property, a 366-unit multifamily housing complex that was purchased for about $235 million, with $100 million in Bitcoin (BTC) added to the fund, Cardone told Cointelegraph. Real estate’s low volatility, tax benefits, income generation and stable value combined with the high volatility of Bitcoin gives the fund the best of both worlds, allowing it to funnel rental income into more BTC purchases, Cardone said. He added: Read more

  • ‘We are buying’: Michael Saylor denies reports of Strategy dumping BTC
    Cointelegraph.com - 18:16 Nov 14, 2025
    Strategy will add to its 640,000 Bitcoin holdings by continuing to buy amid a flash crash in BTC price, Michael Saylor said. Michael Saylor, executive chair of Strategy, denied reports that the company was offloading some of its Bitcoin amid a flash crash in the cryptocurrency’s price. In a Friday X post, Saylor said that there was “no truth” to a report claiming that Strategy reduced its overall Bitcoin (BTC) holdings by about 47,000 BTC, or $4.6 billion at the time of publication. Saylor said the company was continuing to buy Bitcoin as the price dropped by more than 4% in less than 24 hours, from more than $100,000 to less than $95,000. “I think the volatility comes with the territory,” said Saylor in a Friday CNBC interview. “If you’re going to be a Bitcoin investor, you need a four-year time horizon and you need to be prepared to handle the volatility in this market.” Read more

  • Ripple CTO’s ‘50-year Bitcoin’ joke has a point: Here’s the deeper lesson on crypto evolution
    Cointelegraph.com - 17:20 Nov 14, 2025
    The “50-year Bitcoin” joke reveals crypto’s split tempo, where the base layer ossifies while L2s and edge systems innovate rapidly. Bitcoin evolves on two clocks: slow, consensus-driven changes at the base layer and fast experimentation at the edges. Major upgrades (such as Taproot) arrive through cautious soft forks after long review. Rapid shifts such as Lightning payments and Ordinals happen without changing Bitcoin’s core rules, which is why headlines move faster than the L1. Read more
