Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad posted on the X platform in response to "the White House's agreement goals may fall short." He stated that Coinbase and the company's CEO Brian Armstrong have been involved in negotiations for months and have committed to several potential compromise solutions. Coinbase's core goal has always been to protect the interests of the GENIUS Act and the general American public. He also thanked Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Digital Asset Advisory Council, for his efforts in pushing for problem resolution and looks forward to the smooth implementation of the President's crypto agenda.According to senior journalist Sander Lutz from crypto media Decrypt, the White House originally hoped to reach an agreement on stablecoin yield issues before the weekend, but a banking industry insider directly involved in the negotiations stated that this goal would not be achieved. The current divide between the crypto industry and banking lobbyists regarding whether stablecoins should generate yield remains significant. This controversy has become a major obstacle to advancing the crypto market structure bill and directly points to Coinbase CEO's insistence that stablecoins should be able to generate yield for users.According to previous reports from ChainCatcher, David Sacks, the White House's crypto and AI director, stated that the crypto industry has made significant concessions regarding stablecoin yields, and banks should respond accordingly.

In response to the community's statement that "the main reason for Block's layoffs is the over-hiring and mismanagement during the COVID-19 pandemic," former Twitter founder Jack Dorsey posted on the X platform, stating, "Yes, we over-hired due to mistakenly establishing two separate company structures (Square and Cash App) during the pandemic, but this issue has been corrected by mid-2024.However, this does not cover all the complexities we face in lending, banking, and BNPL. Our current goal is to achieve a gross profit of over $2 million per person, reaching four times the efficiency of pre-pandemic levels, which has remained at about $500,000 from 2019 to 2024. In fact, we operate a more efficient company than most."

According to Finance Feeds, Binance's co-CEO Richard Teng revealed that the exchange submitted an application to Greek regulators last month to obtain an operating license under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).MiCA requires crypto companies to obtain a license to operate within the EU by July 2026. Teng stated that the MiCA license is standardized across Europe, so multiple factors such as workforce, talent pool, and security need to be considered, with Greece seen as a suitable base for expansion within the EU. The crypto market has been highly volatile over the past year, with Bitcoin dropping about 50% from its peak of $126,000 on October 12 last year. Teng noted that retail sentiment has weakened, but institutional participation remains stable, stating, "smart money, institutional funds, and long-term capital are still continuously invested."

The liquidity pool LLP Strategies mechanism underwent its first real-world test in the past few hours, and the results showed that the system operated as expected, protecting LLP holders while safeguarding the interests of traders.A trader established a significantly large long position on the ARC perpetual contract relative to the market size, with approximately 600 other traders and market makers taking on counterparty positions on the platform. Ultimately, the open interest reached as high as 50 million USDC.It is reported that LLP Strategies limits downside risk through a "strategy isolation" approach while retaining upside profit potential during price rebounds.

Meanwhile, the short traders who took on the risk realized profits. Lighter stated that this incident validated LLP Strategies' ability to isolate risk and control loss limits under extreme market conditions.

According to the Financial Times, the "Board of Peace," led by U.S. President Trump, is exploring the issuance of a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar to support the digital transaction system in the Gaza Strip.Insiders indicate that the stablecoin will serve as "a way for Gaza residents to make digital payments." The Gaza region is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis, making cash access extremely difficult. Many bank facilities and ATMs have been destroyed or closed, while new cash deliveries are also restricted, leading local residents to increasingly rely on digital payment methods.The stablecoin proposal has been put forward against this backdrop, aiming to establish a basic financial transaction infrastructure. The project is spearheaded by Israeli tech entrepreneur Liran Tancman, in collaboration with organizations such as the "National Committee for Gaza Administration" (NCAG). Sources indicate that the plan includes not only the stablecoin but also the establishment of a "secure digital infrastructure" to support electronic payments, financial services, online education, and healthcare systems as an open platform, allowing users to control their own data.

According to Cointelegraph, Dan Wilkening, the former Chief Administrative Officer of JPMorgan Chase, acknowledged in court documents that the bank decided in February 2021 to close business and private banking accounts related to Trump. This is the first time JPMorgan Chase has officially recognized its implementation of "de-banking" against Trump.Trump filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase at the end of January this year, accusing the bank of illegally terminating his accounts for political reasons, placing him and his family on a reputational "blacklist," and seeking $5 billion in damages. His legal team characterized the acknowledgment as a "devastating concession." JPMorgan Chase spokesperson Trish Wexler responded that the closure of the accounts was based on legal or regulatory risks, not political or religious reasons.Trump's son Eric Trump has repeatedly stated that it was due to experiencing "de-banking" that the family fully turned to the cryptocurrency sector. He revealed that Capital One had closed 300 of their bank accounts overnight, and this experience directly prompted him to lead the establishment of the Trump family's cryptocurrency platform, World Liberty Financial.
