Stablecoins have become a transformative force in the financial world. According to top industry leaders, they represent the highest utility form of money ever created—combining speed, accessibility, and programmability.

A growing number of public companies have embraced Bitcoin as part of their treasury strategies—but VanEck warns that this bold move could backfire if stock values collapse. In a recent analysis, VanEck’s digital asset research lead highlighted the rising risks of stock dilution and strategic failure if companies fail to implement safeguards. Companies Could Be Diluting Value Instead of Creating It As firms continue raising capital through at-the-market (ATM) offerings to buy Bitcoin, a serious risk is emerging: “If the stock trades at or near net asset value (NAV), continued equity issuance can dilute rather than create shareholder value.” While…

Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has frozen over $12.3 million worth of digital assets on the Tron blockchain in an ongoing effort to combat financial crimes within the crypto ecosystem. The freeze was executed at 9:15 am UTC on June 15, according to data from Tronscan.

Tether’s Wallet Freezing Policy Tether enforces a strict wallet-freezing policy that aligns with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets…

As geopolitical tensions rise in the Middle East, traditional safe-haven assets like gold are surging—but Bitcoin continues to behave like a risk asset, closely tracking U.S. equities rather than acting as digital gold. Gold Nears All-Time High Amid Escalating Conflict The price of gold reached $3,450 per ounce on Monday, just shy of its all-time high of $3,500 recorded in April. The recent surge is fueled by: “Should additional data or comments made by economic officials indicate wider concern over inflation or interest rate policy, this price could very easily tip into new, record territory.” Gold has risen over 30%…
