The SEC and the CFTC are set to hold a roundtable on September 29, 2025, in Washington to align their positions on DeFi, perpetual contracts, and crypto products, with a live public broadcast.

Clear Schedule and Strong Ambitions

The two American financial regulators, the SEC and the CFTC, are gearing up for a decisive roundtable at the end of September. The goal is to bridge their stances on DeFi, perpetual contracts, and innovative crypto products—a crucial step for a market already worth billions but hindered by regulatory uncertainty.

Dans la mesure du possible et dans l’intérêt public, conformément aux lois en vigueur, nos agences respectives devraient envisager d’harmoniser les définitions des produits et des lieux de négociation, de rationaliser les normes en matière de reporting et de données, d’aligner les cadres réglementaires en matière de capital et de marge, et de mettre en place des exemptions coordonnées en matière d’innovation en utilisant les pouvoirs d’exemption existants de chaque agence.

The meeting will take place on Monday, September 29, 2025, from 7 pm to 11 pm (French time) in the heart of Washington. It will be open to the public and livestreamed on the SEC’s website. The detailed agenda and participant list will be revealed in the coming weeks.

On the agenda: 24/7 markets, perpetual contracts, decentralized finance, and potential innovation exemptions. The aim is not to disrupt existing laws but to harmonize product and platform definitions, simplify reporting standards, and align capital and margin rules.

An Unprecedented Signal to Market Players

Last Tuesday, the two agencies sent a strong message: no current law prevents a U.S.-registered exchange from listing and facilitating spot crypto trading. This significant turnaround paves the way for massive innovation in the U.S.

The regulators now directly invite market players to engage with their teams. A radical change in tone after years of tension and high-profile lawsuits against industry giants.

A Coordinated Strategy

“It’s a new day at the SEC and CFTC,” declared Paul Atkins, SEC Chairman, and Caroline Pham, CFTC Acting Chair. Their message: end regulatory cacophony and turn American duality into strength.

This roundtable is part of two parallel initiatives: Project Crypto at the SEC and Crypto Sprint at the CFTC. Both agencies also rely on recommendations from the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets, showcasing coordination beyond financial regulators.

What Comes Next?

In October, the Federal Reserve will host its own conference. This time, the debate will focus on stablecoin economic models and financial product tokenization. It’s safe to say that autumn promises to be busy for crypto regulation in the U.S.

For investors, the signal is twofold: Washington wants to maintain control while also providing clarity. This clarification could attract new capital to regulated crypto products and give a boost to the global market, with Bitcoin at the forefront.

Hyperliquid Unveils Revolutionary USDH Stablecoin Launch with Governance Overhaul https://thecoinacademy.co/news/hyperliquids-stablecoin-launch/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hyperliquids-stablecoin-launch Fri, 05 Sep 2025 14:30:38 +0000 https://thecoinacademy.co/news/hyperliquids-stablecoin-launch/ Hyperliquid announces the launch of its USDH stablecoin, subject to an on-chain vote by validators who will choose…

Hyperliquid announces the launch of its USDH stablecoin, subject to an on-chain vote by validators who will choose the team deploying the project. The HYPE token reacted positively with a 3% increase in 24 hours and +209% over six months.

The protocol introduces enhanced governance: proposals, deployment auction, staking, and slashing for validators. USDH aims to become the central currency of the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

Hyperliquid revises its fee structure with an 80% reduction in taker fees on certain pairs, and will make its spot assets permissionless, enhancing the liquidity and utility of the HYPE token.

Hyperliquid announces the arrival of its USDH stablecoin

Hyperliquid takes a strategic step forward: the protocol is set to launch its own stablecoin, named USDH, through a validator vote. The announcement immediately sparked the market: the HYPE token surged nearly 3% in 24 hours, reaching $46.68 this Friday.

This dynamic illustrates a dual movement. On one hand, governance opens up to validators, who will have the final say on the team authorized to deploy USDH. On the other hand, the prospect of a native stablecoin fuels the appeal of HYPE, already up 21.3% in a month and over 209% in six months.

An on-chain vote to decide the launch

The protocol confirmed on its Telegram channel that the USDH ticker, already reserved, will be allocated through a transparent on-chain vote. Each candidate team must submit their proposal on the Discord forum, along with their deployment address. Once approved by a quorum, the selected team will still need to go through the standard deployment auction on the network.

This mechanism reflects a clear intention: to make USDH a “Hyperliquid-first” stablecoin, designed to strengthen the ecosystem while adhering to compliance standards. The announcement comes at a time when the U.S. Treasury is soliciting public feedback on the GENIUS Act, which would more strictly regulate stablecoin issuers.

In practice, validators are likely to favor teams capable of building a stablecoin aligned with the network and supported by the community. The goal: transform USDH into the central settlement currency for all applications and users in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

A fee overhaul that changes the game

Alongside this announcement, Hyperliquid is thoroughly revising its fee structure. Spot pairs between two quote assets will benefit from an 80% reduction in taker fees, with additional discounts for makers and high volumes. Objective: attract more liquidity and streamline exchanges.

The protocol also plans to introduce a staking and slashing system for validators, signaling increasingly robust governance. Moreover, spot assets are expected to become permissionless, opening the door to accelerated supply expansion.

HYPE, driving governance

The role of HYPE is strengthened by these developments. More than just a speculative token, it becomes the central instrument of governance and network stability. The correlation is clear: the protocol’s record revenue month is accompanied by an annual return of +94.8% for HYPE since January.

If USDH succeeds in its endeavor, Hyperliquid could well lay the groundwork for a new model of stablecoin, anchored in on-chain governance and freed from dependence on centralized issuers, but more importantly, put a real brake on the activity of Circle’s USDC, so far a major leader on the network.

Justin Sun and WLFI: A Clash of Titans https://thecoinacademy.co/news/justin-sun-wlfi-controversy/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=justin-sun-wlfi-controversy Fri, 05 Sep 2025 11:20:47 +0000 https://thecoinacademy.co/news/justin-sun-wlfi-controversy/ The founder of Tron, Justin Sun, finds himself at the center of a new storm.

The founder of Tron, Justin Sun, finds himself at the center of a new storm. On Thursday evening, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the DeFi protocol backed by the Trump family, blacklisted his wallet, freezing the equivalent of several hundred million dollars in WLFI tokens. Sun, furious, demands the immediate lifting of this freeze, which he deems “unjustified“.

I invested capital, trust, and support to build a strong ecosystem. My tokens have been unreasonably frozen.

For him, these assets are “sacred and inviolable,” and blocking them amounts to a violation of the very principles of blockchain.

Massive Transfers of WLFI Causing Doubt

The freeze came hours after a transfer of 50 million WLFI tokens (nearly 9 million dollars) from an address identified as belonging to Sun. The funds ended up in a hot wallet linked to HTX (formerly Huobi), a platform where Sun serves as an administrator.

Simultaneously, other movements added fuel to the fire. Another 60 million WLFI tokens, over 11 million dollars, were transferred from the same hot wallet to an HTX Gnosis Safe Proxy. Some of these tokens even reportedly flowed to Binance, fueling suspicions of massive sales.

In a scenario of significant flows to exchanges, involving BitGo and Flowdesk, these operations coincided with strong selling pressure. As a result, WLFI plummeted by 24% on Thursday, bouncing slightly to trade around 0.19 dollars on Friday morning.

Sun Pleads Innocence

Facing accusations, Sun vigorously defends himself.

Our address only conducted small deposit tests followed by fund dispersion. No purchases or sales took place; it is impossible for this to impact the market.

For Sun, this is a direct violation of investors’ rights. He calls for transparency and trust, essential conditions in his view to build a “truly great financial brand“. He even punctuated his messages with a resounding “I am innocent“, aimed at putting an end to rumors.

Political Support Complicating the Issue

The case takes on a broader dimension. WLFI, launched this week, is not just any project: it is directly supported by the Trump family. Sun, one of its major investors, injected a whopping 75 million dollars into the token, while committing to buy $100 million worth of the memecoin TRUMP.

In return, World Liberty Financial acquired millions of dollars’ worth of TRX, Tron’s native token, earlier this year. A game of crossed alliances that now makes the situation explosive.

A Crisis of Confidence for World Liberty Financial

If WLFI has not yet officially spoken, freezing the assets of one of its biggest investors raises serious questions. The community wonders: why freeze Sun while other massive transfers continue to fuel market volatility? The response from WLFI could be decisive. Beyond Justin Sun’s fortune, the project’s credibility is at stake. In the ruthless crypto world, a communication error can sometimes be enough to break trust and shake a still budding token.

Tether’s Diversification into Gold Investments: A Bridge Between Tradition and Revolution https://thecoinacademy.co/news/tether-gold-investment-diversification/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tether-gold-investment-diversification Fri, 05 Sep 2025 11:00:36 +0000 https://thecoinacademy.co/news/tether-gold-investment-diversification/ Tether, already holding 8.7 billion dollars in physical gold, has invested over 200 million dollars in mining and…

Tether, already holding 8.7 billion dollars in physical gold, has invested over 200 million dollars in mining and gold royalty companies, marking an ambitious diversification beyond USDT.

Paolo Ardoino compares gold to the ‘bitcoin of nature,’ positioning the yellow metal as a strategic and philosophical extension of bitcoin in the company’s vision.

Despite Tether’s enthusiasm, the mining sector remains skeptical, finding their strategy unclear, but the initiative illustrates the growing trend of bridging gold and digital assets.

Paolo Ardoino: ‘Gold is the bitcoin of nature’

The CEO of Tether, Paolo Ardoino, embraces this fascination. For him, gold is a natural extension of bitcoin.

Many say that bitcoin is digital gold. I think in bitcoin terms: gold is our natural source.

Paolo Ardoino during a speech in May

This perspective brings together two assets often compared but rarely associated in concrete strategies: the ancient safe-haven yellow metal and bitcoin, born in 2009 and becoming the most coveted digital asset in the markets.

Already Engaged Investments

Tether’s appetite extends beyond just words. The group already holds 8.7 billion dollars in gold bars stored in a vault in Zurich, serving as collateral for its stablecoin. In June, Tether Investments injected 105 million dollars into the Canadian company Elemental Altus, specialized in mining royalties before adding an additional 100 million in August when it merged with EMX.

Discussions have also taken place with other players, such as Terranova Resources, an investment vehicle based in the British Virgin Islands. Even though they did not materialize, they confirm the group’s desire to expand its exposure to the gold sector.

A Strategy Still Vague but Ambitious

Meanwhile, Tether has made inroads into commodity trade financing, with a short-term lending book already totaling in the billions. This diversification reflects a desire to turn its immense profits into tangible and strategic assets.

However, some observers remain skeptical. A commodities trading executive did not mince words: ‘It’s the weirdest company I’ve dealt with.’

Tether’s bet is part of a broader trend. Other players are seeking to bridge gold and digital assets. The company Blue Gold, listed on Nasdaq, for example, is considering issuing tokens backed by its future production in Ghana.

For investors, the equation is clear: while gold remains a proven safe haven and bitcoin an ultra-performing yet volatile asset, the convergence of the two could give rise to a new class of hybrid assets. Tether, at the forefront, hopes to embody this bridge between tradition and revolution.

Stripe and Paradigm Launch Tempo: A Game-Changing Blockchain for Stablecoin Payments

Backed by major players like Visa, Deutsche Bank, Shopify, and OpenAI, Tempo aims to standardize merchant payments, microtransactions, and international transfers.

Designed to be neutral and EVM-compatible, it integrates a native AMM and envisions decentralized governance, targeting a stablecoin market on track towards a trillion dollars.

A Strategic Offensive in the Stablecoin War

Stripe, the payments giant, and Paradigm, one of the most influential crypto funds, have just unveiled Tempo, a blockchain tailored for a specific goal: scaling global payments in stablecoins. The announcement confirms a major trend: stablecoins are no longer just a trading tool, but the future of international financial flows.

Behind Tempo, we already find heavyweights like Visa, Deutsche Bank, Shopify, Nubank, OpenAI, Revolut, Anthropic, and Standard Chartered. An unprecedented alliance aiming to redefine how digital money will circulate in the coming years.

A Promise of Unprecedented Speed

Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe, made a bold claim: 100,000 transactions per second with finality in less than a second. Surpassing even the fastest blockchains like Solana, deemed insufficient for Stripe's massive needs.

Tempo is designed to handle the reality of the field: merchant payments, microtransactions, cross-border transfers, tokenized deposits, and even AI-driven automated payments. And a key detail: fees will be settled directly in stablecoins, without the need for a native token.

A finance-oriented architecture

The chain, EVM-compatible and built on the Reth Ethereum client, includes a native AMM to ensure neutrality among stablecoin issuers. The goal: facilitating exchange between USDC, USDT, or any other stablecoin without relying on a single entity.

Regarding governance, Paradigm and Stripe remain initial investors, but Tempo aims to be independent. Matt Huang, CEO of Paradigm, leads a team of about fifteen people with a clear commitment: decentralizing Tempo from a centralized model. The roadmap already includes a network of diversified validators, with a transition planned towards a fully permissionless system.

A Colossal Market in Sight

The timing is no coincidence. Stablecoins already represent $270 billion in market capitalization, and forecasts project them towards the trillion mark in the coming years. For Stripe, which already processes millions of payments per day, ignoring this wave would have been a strategic mistake.

By creating Tempo, the company is not just looking to ride the wave but set new standards: speed, reduced costs, compatibility with the needs of e-commerce and finance giants.

The Stakes for the Crypto Ecosystem

With Tempo, Stripe and Paradigm step into a sector where Solana, Base, and Avalanche are already trying to establish their payment rails, while specialized blockchains like Plasma are just getting started. But the difference is clear: the credibility of a giant like Stripe, backed by leading banking and technological partners, could accelerate adoption to an unprecedented scale.

A thunderclap has hit the crypto ecosystem: World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has just blacklisted Justin Sun’s wallet. The immediate result: 540 million tokens already unlocked and 2.4 billion tokens still locked are now frozen. This decision directly impacts the founder of Tron, the largest external investor in the project.

A Launch Under High Tension for WLFI

The timing is not coincidental. WLFI only started its public trading on September 1st, and excitement was at its peak: over $1 billion in trading volume within the first hour, with prices fluctuating between $0.80 and $0.20. But behind the initial euphoria, suspicions quickly emerged. The team accuses an exchange, whose name remains secret, of using users’ tokens to sell and keep the price under pressure.

Justin Sun, an Explosive Role

Justin Sun had invested $75 million to acquire nearly 3 billion WLFI tokens, valued at around $900 million last week. Out of this total, 600 million were already unlocked. Sun had publicly stated he had no intention to sell. Now, this narrative clashes with a harsh reality: his assets are frozen, and his image once again tarnished.

Our address only performed a few small deposit tests on the exchange, followed by an address split. There was no buying or selling, and this could not have had any impact on the market.

The Trumps at the Heart of the Project

Another spectacular element: the Trump family holds a staggering 22.5 billion WLFI tokens. For a few hours, this position showed a theoretical value of $5 billion. This direct link to an American political dynasty adds an explosive dimension to the affair, placing WLFI at the intersection of finance, crypto, and politics.

Governance and Regulation in the Spotlight

This blacklisting raises two major questions. First, governance: if a project can freeze the funds of its largest investor, what are the real rights of other token holders? Second, regulation: Justin Sun was recently under legal scrutiny in the United States, and WLFI, through its political connections, inevitably draws the attention of authorities.

In just a few days, WLFI has transitioned from a newcomer to a case study. The Justin Sun affair crystallizes all the current market tensions: mistrust towards founders, risks associated with centralized decision-making, and price vulnerability during initial listings. What’s next? A battle that could redefine how crypto projects manage their investors.

]]>
With a surge of more than 35% since January, gold has emerged as the standout asset of the year. Now priced at over $3,500 per ounce, the precious metal surpasses both the Nasdaq and Bitcoin, confirming its historical role as a safe haven. Investors, faced with falling bond yields, record public debt, and growing political tensions, are flocking to this age-old anchor.

A Bitcoin-Gold Report Under Pressure

The famous BTC/XAU ratio illustrates this shift: it now takes only 31.2 ounces of gold to acquire one bitcoin, compared to 40 in December. In other words, gold is gaining ground on the flagship cryptocurrency. However, technical analysis reveals a more complex scenario: the ratio has been on a predominantly upward trajectory for BTC since 2017. Past corrections, often exceeding 70%, now give way to a more measured retreat, reinforcing the idea of a potential recovery by the end of the year or in the first half of 2026.

A Signal to Watch for Crypto Investors

If gold confirms its reference status, Bitcoin maintains a long-term structural momentum. Previous cycles have shown that every collapse of the ratio has led to a new historical peak. The current weakness could paradoxically pave the way for a future surge of BTC against the yellow metal.

Trump, the Fed, and the Rush to Gold

The equation becomes even more explosive with the entry of Donald Trump. His direct confrontation with the Federal Reserve, particularly his attempt to dismiss Governor Lisa Cook, fuels fears of a weakened and politicized Fed. According to Goldman Sachs, a loss of independence by the US central bank would mechanically lead to more inflation, a weakened dollar, and plunging long-term rates. The expected result: gold nearing $5,000 per ounce.

An Extreme yet Credible Scenario

Goldman sets a target of $4,000 per ounce by mid-2026 but believes that a mere 1% shift of private assets from US Treasuries to gold would be enough to propel the price to the symbolic threshold of $5,000. Major asset managers like Pictet confirm their stance as being ‘doubly overweight’ on the metal, convinced that the US political climate could reignite a new bullish trend.

Towards a Redefinition of Portfolios

Central banks are not unrelated to this. Since 2022, they have accelerated their purchases, multiplying their acquisitions of dollars converted into gold by five. Private investors are following suit, driven by the scarcity of credible alternatives. As BlackRock points out, ‘long US bonds no longer offer the expected protection during market turmoil.’ Gold then emerges as the last reliable line of defense, reshaping the global asset allocation landscape.

A Duel Redefining the Hierarchy

In 2025, gold reminded that it remains the ultimate arbiter of markets, even against Bitcoin. But behind this apparent triumph lies a fundamental battle: the cryptocurrency could benefit from this power struggle to prepare for its next bullish cycle. Between a millennia-old metal emancipating itself from political turbulence and a digital asset challenging central banks, the end of the year is shaping up to be crucial for the hierarchy of safe havens.

The Nasdaq is tightening its listing rules for micro-cap stocks after scandals involving Chinese companies, requiring a minimum public float of $15 million and IPOs of at least $25 million for risky markets.

Massive Losses and an Alert FBI

In recent months, micro-cap Chinese companies listed on the Nasdaq have seen their value skyrocket before plummeting abruptly. Seven of them lost over 80% in July, wiping out $3.7 billion in market capitalization. The scenario remains the same: stocks heavily promoted on WhatsApp and social media, followed by a sudden sell-off by insiders.

The FBI has confirmed the trend: complaints related to ‘ramp and dump’ frauds have jumped 300% in a year. For many small investors, the bill is steep, and confidence is eroding.

An Unprecedented Regulatory Tightening

Faced with this surge of manipulations, the Nasdaq now implements an accelerated process for the suspension and delisting of securities that do not meet its standards. The minimum public float threshold is now $15 million for companies eligible for the net income standard.

Another key measure: companies from ‘restrictive markets’ like China must still offer a public offering of at least $25 million, a rule introduced in 2020 but now reaffirmed with vigor.

According to John Zecca, Nasdaq’s Chief Legal and Regulatory Officer, the exchange is monitoring ‘extreme volatility and manipulation risks’ concerning these companies. Concern is heightened by the fact that Chinese investors, often heavily involved in these stocks, grant too much control to insiders, limiting liquidity and transparency.

A Signal Sent to Global Markets

Close to 70% of cases reported by the Nasdaq to US regulators since August 2022 involve Chinese companies. And the trend is not slowing down: last year, a record number of Chinese companies sought listings in the US. The issue lies in US authorities still struggling to inspect local accounting firms auditing these companies, fueling suspicions.

For some observers, these new rules will not solve everything. Edwin Dorsey, author of the newsletter ‘The Bear Cave,’ sees it as a ‘first step’ that could simply push fraudsters to recycle old tickers rather than exploit new listings.

American Bitcoin has just made a sensational debut on the Nasdaq. Listed since Wednesday under the ticker ABTC, the company saw its stock surge by 60% in a single session, jumping from $6.90 to $11. Behind this launch is a project spearheaded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, combining Bitcoin mining and BTC treasury strategy.

American Bitcoin d&#rsquo;Eric Trump et Donald Trump Jr réussit son lancement au Nasdaq

American Bitcoin, fueled by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, has successfully launched on the Nasdaq

A giant deal in the first week

Freshly introduced to the stock market, the company has already announced a massive fundraising plan: up to $2.1 billion through a continuous equity offering. The goal is to enhance its mining capabilities and bolster its Bitcoin war chest. At the time of its merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, American Bitcoin already held 2,443 BTC, approximately $160 million at current prices.

In a market where cryptocurrency treasury is becoming a strategic asset, this announcement places ABTC in the league of players like Marathon Digital or MicroStrategy, who use their balance sheets as a Bitcoin reservoir.

A rapid build and strategic support

American Bitcoin’s rise to power is meteoric. Established last March through a combination of Trump’s American Data Centers and Canadian miner Hut 8, the company is now 80% controlled by Hut 8. This alliance has enabled a direct entry into the elite circle, combining energy prowess and media strategy propelled by the Trump name.

The model is simple yet powerful: mine Bitcoin while holding onto the BTC obtained instead of selling immediately. A strategy that plays on two fronts: capturing the immediate profitability of mining activity and benefiting from the potential rise in the BTC price.

A symbol for the American market

Beyond the numbers, this IPO has political and media significance. The presence of Donald Trump’s sons in a Nasdaq-listed project gives new legitimacy to Bitcoin in the United States, at a time when regulatory debates are more intense than ever.

With Bitcoin now trading around $111,000, American Bitcoin’s strategy takes on an even more explosive dimension. If the company manages to achieve its funding goals and accumulate several thousand additional BTC, it could quickly become one of the largest corporate holders on the planet.

In a market dominated by mining giants and renowned crypto treasuries, the arrival of ABTC with the Trump brand has all the makings of a shockwave.

The leader of blockchain oracles is stepping up its game. Pyth Network, after conquering DeFi with its ultra-reliable price feeds, is now setting its sights on a colossal market: institutional financial data, a sector long dominated by Bloomberg and Refinitiv for decades, estimated at over $50 billion annually.

Pyth Network and DeFi: An Already Established Domination

Since its inception, Pyth has established itself as the premier on-chain financial data network. With over 600 integrated protocols, a presence on a hundred blockchains, and nearly 1,800 price feeds available.

The impact is enormous: over $1.6 trillion in cumulative trading volume, with a commanding 60% market share in the DeFi derivatives market. Its data comes directly from leading global players like Jane Street, Jump, DRW, Optiver, Cboe, LMAX, and Virtu.

In essence: Pyth has already become an indispensable technical standard in decentralized finance.

Next Step: Targeting TradFi and Recurring Revenues

The second phase of the plan is now official. Pyth is preparing to launch an institutional product based on a subscription model, allowing banks, funds, and trading firms direct access to proprietary data from over 120 top-tier institutions.

This is a first: these data will no longer pass through costly intermediaries. Subscriptions can be paid in dollars, stablecoins, or PYTH tokens. The generated revenues will be channeled back to the Pyth DAO, fueling a virtuous cycle.

More subscribers, more revenue. More revenue, more incentives for data producers. More incentives, more coverage, and hence more appealing institutions. The famous “flywheel effect” applied to financial data.

A $50 Billion Market to Transform

Today, institutions pay astronomical sums to access often fragmented, latency-ridden data with imposed intermediaries. Pyth aims to break this model.

Even capturing just 1% of this market would generate over $500 million in annual revenue. But the ambition is much broader: to become the universal price layer for global finance, online and offline.

Pyth’s Long-Term Vision

Pyth thinks big. Over 3,000 symbols available by the end of 2025, 10,000 in 2026, and over 50,000 by 2027. The goal: to become the global source of truth for all market data, whether from traditional finance, DeFi, or OTC markets.

With such ambition, Pyth is no longer content with being just a blockchain tool. The protocol aims to redefine how global finance accesses, consumes, and values data.
