The U.K.’s largest retail investment platform, Hargreaves Lansdown, has reversed course following the FCA’s decision to lift its retail ban on crypto ETPs in October.

Tether reported $1.3 billion in Q2 net operating profit in its latest BDO attestation statement, while excess reserves rose to $5.2 billion above full USDT backing. The figures keep Tether at the center of the stablecoin market’s profitability and reserve debate. USDT remains the largest dollar stablecoin in crypto, and Tether’s reserve earnings have become one of the most closely watched financial stories in the sector. The main driver is familiar: interest income from large holdings of U.S. Treasury assets. But the details still need careful wording. Net operating profit is not the same as total reserves, and excess reserves…

Progress beyond the initial rollout will depend partly on market adoption and the outcome of pending stablecoin legislation. South Korea’s Financial Services Commission unveiled a phased roadmap on September 4 for converting stocks, bonds and investment funds into blockchain-based tokens, with the earliest phase due to start in February 2027 once an amendment to the Electronic Registration Act takes effect. The plan links the country’s securities market to a stablecoin payment system that regulators want built by the time the rollout reaches its final stage.

AMC boss Adam Aron called Robinhood’s stock tokens “synthetic equity” and threatened legal action. Vlad Tenev says the brokerage stands behind the product.

AMC, the world’s largest movie theater chain, wants its tokenized stocks removed from Robinhood, and it’s causing a huge meltdown on social media. AMC wants the tokens removed because they trade on Robinhood using its stock price and branding even though buyers do not actually own AMC shares. CEO Adam Aron argues that investors could mistake the products for real shares and says the structure should face regulatory scrutiny. Robinhood is refusing to remove anything. Their message is “Send the Lawyers”. Robinhood Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher, a former SEC commissioner, responded publicly. We know a little something about the…

Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego renewed his long-term Bitcoin thesis this week, pointing to gold’s total market value as the benchmark that could eventually send BTC toward $1.86 million per coin. In a post on X, the Grupo Salinas founder argued that reaching parity with gold’s market capitalization would require exactly that price. He also mentioned that Bitcoin’s adoption curve is still very early. Salinas Pliego’s Long-Running Gold Comparison This is not a new theme for Salinas. Back in October 2025, after gold became the first asset to reach a $30 trillion market cap, he predicted Bitcoin would need to…

I am William Dexu from Texas, USA. As a software engineer, I would like to share my real-life experience of achieving financial freedom through the FTmining cloud mining platform. The shift from skepticism to trust When I first encountered cloud mining last winter, I was—like many others—full of skepticism. “Can this really generate stable returns?” That question made me hesitate for a long time. After two months of in-depth research, I ultimately chose the FTmining platform. As a technical professional, I place great importance on a platform’s technical capabilities and operational stability. After a comprehensive evaluation, I was satisfied with…
