Agora: Will stop issuing the stablecoin AUSD on Injective, with the redemption window lasting until September 28

According to official news, Agora announced that starting from April 3, 2026, it will gradually stop the issuance and support of AUSD on the Injective network. According to the latest adjustments, no new AUSD will be minted on Injective from today, and AUSD held on this network will no longer earn any rewards. However, users can still redeem AUSD at a 1:1 value, and the redemption window will last until September 28, 2026. This adjustment only applies to the Injective network and does not affect the operation of AUSD on other chains.Regarding the redemption process, Agora stated that its clients can complete the operation through their account contacts. Users only need to send AUSD on Injective to the official channel, and the platform will assist in converting it to AUSD on the user-specified chain or exchanging it for US dollars and other supported stablecoins. The official emphasized that September 28, 2026, is the standard redemption deadline, and after that, remaining assets can still be processed, but may require additional KYC verification processes and related fees.Agora pointed out that this decision stems from its regular evaluation mechanism for multi-chain deployment, with key considerations including actual usage, ecosystem health, and infrastructure costs. After a comprehensive assessment, Agora decided to strategically shrink the AUSD business on the Injective network to optimize resource allocation and improve overall operational efficiency.

TD Cowen: The U.S. Congress is close to permanently banning the Federal Reserve from issuing CBDC

Investment bank TD Cowen stated that the U.S. Congress may be close to passing legislation to permanently prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). This move could benefit stablecoin issuers but may also introduce new complexities for cryptocurrency market structure legislation.Last week, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz proposed an amendment in the housing bill "21st Century ROAD to Housing Act," calling for a permanent ban on the Federal Reserve issuing CBDC. The amendment aims to convert the currently effective temporary ban, which lasts until 2030, into a permanent provision. The housing bill is expected to be submitted for a Senate vote as early as this week.Jaret Seiberg, Managing Director of TD Cowen's Washington research department, indicated that the housing bill ultimately submitted for the president's signature is likely to include this ban, and the possibility of a permanent ban is higher than that of a temporary one. Seiberg pointed out that the amendment is primarily aimed at solidifying the current policy stance.The Federal Reserve has repeatedly stated that it will not issue a digital dollar without explicit authorization from Congress. Meanwhile, several U.S. lawmakers have recently co-signed a letter to congressional leadership, urging for a permanent ban on CBDC. Congressman Ralph Norman stated that unlike cash, CBDC could allow the government to track transactions and monitor individual spending behavior, thus a permanent ban is necessary to protect the privacy and freedom of Americans.It is noteworthy that the U.S. House of Representatives passed the "Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act" last year, which prohibits the Federal Reserve from directly issuing CBDC to individuals. Cruz has also been actively pushing for similar legislation in the Senate.
