Issue #659: Dollar Stablecoin Push, x402 Gets Lightning, Raiffeisen Adds Bitcoin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three stories in under five minutes. The Trump administration is weighing a push to promote dollar-backed stablecoins overseas, aiming to reinforce the dollar's reserve status and boost demand for US Treasuries. Bitcoin Lightning has landed formally inside the x402 payment standard after PR #2861 merged into the x402 Foundation's spec, with Cloudflare, Google, Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and American Express among the companies now participating in the Linux Foundation-governed project.

Issue #658: Bitcoin's 2012-style streak, Noah Doe wallets move, Binance probe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bitcoin just logged a three-month winning streak that has not happened since 2012, and today's institutional, ETF-driven market makes any comparison to that earlier run worth treating with skepticism.

Read excerpt
Blink locks a few dozen drained custodial accounts and promises to make every affected user whole, and the incident is a reminder of what non-custodial on Spark does and does not guarantee. Bitcoin briefly tops $85,000, its highest level since January, as a short squeeze liquidates about $648 million of short positions. And X sues the operators of a network of Bitcoin accounts over alleged engagement manipulation. Full story details, sourcing, and links are in today's newsletter. https://www.btc
Issue #654: CFTC Contradicts DOJ, Bitbank Sanctioned, FCA Targets London P2P (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The CFTC puts in writing that passive non-custodial software is not a financial middleman, contradicting the DOJ case against the Samourai Wallet developers, Treasury sanctions Iran's Bitbank over Hormuz safe-passage payments, and the UK's FCA hunts unregistered P2P traders in London. Three stories, under five minutes, zero noise. Read the full newsletter: https://www.btcbreakdown.com/p/issue-654
