Stablecoins

Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a stable reserve, such as the US Dollar or Gold, to minimize price volatility. Serving as the primary medium of exchange in Web3, tokens like USDT, USDC, and PYUSD facilitate global payments and DeFi liquidity. In 2026, the focus has shifted toward yield-bearing stablecoins and compliant stablecoin frameworks under global regulations like MiCA. This tag covers the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto through stable on-chain liquidity solutions.

US Banking Regulator OCC Gets New Chief with Crypto Industry Roots

US Banking Regulator OCC Gets New Chief with Crypto Industry Roots

Jonathan Gould, a former blockchain executive with a deep regulatory background, has been confirmed as the next head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The US Senate voted 50 to 45 on Thursday to approve his nomination, clearing the way for Gould to become the OCC’s first permanent chief since 2020. Gould previously served as Bitfury’s chief legal officer and held senior roles at the OCC during the previous Trump administration. His return marks a notable shift for the federal banking regulator, which oversees national banks and savings associations and plays a key role in setting financial policy, including on emerging technologies. Gould’s Confirmation Sets Tone for Upcoming Policy Battles His confirmation follows months of debate in Washington over how to regulate digital assets, especially stablecoins. The Senate’s approval comes just ahead of “Crypto Week” in the House, where lawmakers are set to consider the GENIUS Act . The bill aims to set strict guidelines for stablecoin issuers, including full dollar backing and mandatory annual audits for those with large market caps. 🚨Jonathan Gould has just been confirmed as Comptroller of the @USOCC . Jonathan will continue the important work started by Acting Comptroller Hood to return the OCC to its true purpose of chartering and supervising banks to ensure a safe and sound banking system. https://t.co/PnqcBbakgJ — U.S. Senate Banking Committee GOP (@BankingGOP) July 10, 2025 Even as Gould steps in, political tensions remain. Earlier Thursday, Senator Cynthia Lummis, a longtime crypto supporter, initially voted against his nomination, citing concerns over federal preemption of state banking laws and stablecoin rules. However, she ultimately voted in favor during the final count. Banking Industry Welcomes Gould as OCC Moves to Modernize Crypto Oversight The OCC has already taken a more crypto-friendly stance this year. It clarified that US banks are allowed to buy and sell crypto assets for themselves. Additionally, the agency updated its internal guidance by removing references to “reputation risk.” However, it noted that banks must still manage all related risks responsibly. In a statement , Senate Banking Committee Republicans said Gould will continue efforts to refocus the OCC. His mandate, they added, is to return the agency to its core mission of bank supervision and financial soundness. The American Bankers Association also welcomed his appointment. It also called for a regulatory framework that supports national bank preemption and a resilient financial system. Gould will replace Acting Comptroller Rodney Hood. He is expected to help shape how US banking policy intersects with the fast-evolving crypto sector. Moreover, his appointment adds momentum to the broader push for clearer regulation as digital assets gain more mainstream financial traction.

Australia’s Central Bank Progresses Project Acacia Testing for CBDC Asset Settlement

Australia’s Central Bank Progresses Project Acacia Testing for CBDC Asset Settlement

Australia’s Reserve Bank announced on Thursday the selection of 24 industry participants for the next phase of its wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) testing initiative. The six-month pilot will conduct 19 real-money transactions and five proof-of-concept simulations across multiple asset classes, including fixed income, private markets, trade receivables, and carbon credits. Settlement will occur through various digital assets, including stablecoins, bank deposit tokens, and pilot wholesale CBDCs deployed on platforms such as Hedera, Redbelly Network, R3 Corda, and Canvas Connect. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has granted regulatory relief to facilitate the testing, and project findings are expected in the first quarter of 2026. Source: Bloomberg ASIC Enables Real-Money CBDC Testing Through Regulatory Relief The regulatory relief allows participants to conduct tokenized asset transactions using CBDCs between financial institutions without standard licensing requirements during the pilot period. ASIC Commissioner Kate O’Rourke noted that the relief instrument will enable wholesale market testing of technologies that could potentially boost efficiency and foster economic growth. Selected participants include major Australian banks such as Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, and Westpac, alongside specialized firms like Australian Bond Exchange, Fireblocks, and Zerocap. Brad Jones, Assistant Governor for Financial System at the RBA, emphasized the strategic importance of ensuring Australia’s monetary arrangements remain fit for purpose in the digital age. Jones described Project Acacia as “ an opportunity for further collaborative exploration on tokenized asset markets and the future of money by the public and private sectors in Australia, ” with use cases designed to help the RBA better understand innovations in both central bank and private digital money. Professor Talis Putnins from the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre also highlighted the potential economic impact. He referenced recent research suggesting potential economic gains in markets and cross-border payments could reach AU$19 billion annually. Australia Pursues Wholesale CBDC Strategy Amid Global Digital Currency Race Project Acacia builds on Australia’s September 2024 decision to prioritize wholesale CBDC development over retail applications due to greater economic benefits. The initiative aligns with global trends, as 134 countries representing 98% of the global economy are exploring CBDCs , according to research by the Atlantic Council. 🌍 The CBDC race is heating up. 134 countries are now exploring digital currencies, covering nearly the entire global economy, according to @AtlanticCouncil . https://t.co/dDzG7B7Zqb — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) September 17, 2024 The competitive pressure is particularly evident in the Asia-Pacific region, where China’s digital yuan transactions reached $986 billion by June 2024 across 17 regions and 44 countries currently running CBDC pilot programs of varying scales and ambitions. Cross-border wholesale CBDC projects have more than doubled globally, with initiatives like Project mBridge connecting financial institutions across multiple jurisdictions. Australia’s comprehensive digital asset framework encompasses tokenization, real-world assets, and CBDC integration within broader efforts to modernize the financial system. However, challenges remain complex, as David Lavecky, head of Canvas, previously told Cryptonews that the Reserve Bank of Australia’s approach to issuing eAUD is “multifaceted,” with several legal, regulatory, and operational hurdles still to overcome. 🇦🇺 Exclusive: Reserve Bank of Australia’s Approach Towards Issuing eAUD is “Multifaceted,” Says Canvas Head David Lavecky.
