Crypto news to know

Senate Banking Committee passes GENIUS Act

On Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee passed Republican Senator Bill Hagerty’s (R-TN) GENIUS Act with an 18-6 vote, sending it to the full chamber for debate.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), along with many Democrats, have opposed the bill, arguing it lacked sufficient protections for users in the event of a stablecoin failure and would enable tech billionaires to accrue even more power by launching their own dollar-backed tokens. During her remarks, Warren referenced the Washington Post’s report on possible talks between the Trump family and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who has been pushing for the Trump administration to grant him a pardon after serving four months in prison on charges related to money laundering. “We should be standing up to this naked corruption,” she said. Both Zhao and Trump deny the allegations.

The newest iteration of the bill, shared by FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, holds foreign stablecoin issuers to “extra high standards” in areas such as reserve and liquidity requirements, money laundering checks and sanctions checks.

BNY Mellon deepens ties with Circle for stablecoin services

Financial giant BNY Mellon is expanding its services to include digital assets by partnering with stablecoin giant Circle. This collaboration will allow select BNY Mellon clients to send and receive funds to and from Circle, and to buy and sell Circle’s USDC stablecoins. This move signifies the increasing acceptance of stablecoins in traditional finance and demonstrates BNY Mellon’s dedication to innovation and adapting to client needs.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF sees significant inflows

According to Arkham Intelligence, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, received a transfer of 268 Bitcoin valued at over US$22 million to its iShares Bitcoin ETF wallet from a Coinbase Prime wallet on Friday.

The recent transaction brings BlackRock’s total Bitcoin holdings to more than 567,000 Bitcoin valued at over US$47.8 billion, making BlackRock one of the largest Bitcoin holders in the world.
