🚨 BREAKING: GLOBAL FINANCIAL WATCHDOG WARNS TURKEY OVER CRYPTO RISKS! The G20's Financial Stability Board (FSB) says Turkey needs stronger cryptocurrency and stablecoin regulations. According to the FSB review: 📊 Turkey's crypto market recorded nearly $200 BILLION in transactions last year. ⚠️ The watchdog highlighted the lack of a dedicated regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers. It also warned about potential financial stability risks and increasing digital dollarisation. WHY IT MATTERS: Stablecoins are becoming increasingly important in economies facing currency depreciation and high inflation. Stronger global stablecoin regulations could reshape how crypto markets operate. #Crypto #Stablecoins #USDT #Regulation #Bitcoin

Rebecca Rettig says the amazing part about the Genius Act is that there is no prohibition on stablecoins running through DeFi. "We now have the Genius Act in the United States." She says stablecoins had amazing product market fit, that they are centralized, and that the open question, the one regulators love to ask, is who is responsible if something goes wrong. @RebeccaRettig1 @jito_labs

🚨 CYBERATTACKS, CASH STOCKPILING & STABLECOINS: AMERICA IS PREPARING THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL RESET IN HISTORY Scott Bessent said we are approaching another Bretton Woods moment, a “GRAND ECONOMIC REORDERING.” He also said AI and STABLECOINS will help America GROW OUT of its $40 TRILLION debt! Stablecoins will create MASSIVE demand for US Treasuries and the US dollar. Trump’s January 2025 order made dollar-backed coins official policy. The GENIUS Act locked the mechanism in: every compliant stablecoin must sit 1-for-1 on cash, T-bills, and Treasury repos. That’s the escape hatch. America can’t print gold. It can print demand for its own debt. Cyberattacks and emergency stockpiling of cash will be used to accelerate the shift from traditional banking to BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY. Donald Trump also openly said that the crypto market structure bill will upgrade America’s banking and financial system to the 21st century using “STATE-OF-THE-ART” BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY. A new surveillance system is being opened without naming it CBDCs. What we really need for the new digital financial system: Private digital identities. Zero-knowledge proofs. A financial system where you can prove who you are without exposing who you are. A future of complete on-chain financial privacy and almost nobody is paying attention. This is why @DNAOnChain is about to be the biggest privacy solution in the new on-chain financial system. Be prepared for the new financial system. It’s always followed by an engineered crisis.

Wall Street is finally getting serious. Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Santander, and a total of 21 financial institutions have pooled around $270 million to jointly launch a company issuing a USD stablecoin. Internally, the project is called Project Faro. Last October, only 10 banks were exploring the idea; by September this year, they had grown to 21 and officially announced plans to form the company. The funding is enough to sustain the new company for five years. It plans to register in the U.S. and launch its USD stablecoin in the first half of 2027, followed by the euro. The most intriguing part? The CEO hasn’t been hired yet, and the company doesn’t even have a name—but the money is already secured. The list includes Wells Fargo, Bank of America, UBS, Fidelity, and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group—nearly half of the traditional finance world has shown up, with only JPMorgan missing. They’re aiming to take market share from Tether and Circle, which currently issue about 85% of all stablecoins worldwide: $USDT and $USDC. Banks have no shortage of customers—and they plan to leverage their vast client networks to capture that 85% share. It’s a massive showdown: 21 major institutions teaming up to challenge two crypto-native companies. The only problem? They still haven’t found their leader. 😂
