Cosmos Labs recently announced a Request for Proposals (RFP) to redesign the economics of the ATOM token, aiming to link its value to the real revenues from the ecosystem, especially with the spread of Cosmos SDK in institutional projects.
Main reasons: - The Interchain Security model has failed to gain the expected adoption and is gradually being phased out. - ATOM has become disconnected from the broader activity in the ecosystem. - The price has dropped to its lowest levels in years (around $2.1).
Goal: A model based on fees and revenues, reducing inflation (currently 7-20%), and enhancing long-term staking.

The SEC has issued a new educational guide titled "Crypto Asset Custody Basics" to help individual investors understand how to securely store digital currencies.
Key points: Self-Custody: You have full control over the private keys – full control, but also full responsibility! Custody with a third party: Easier, but check the asset segregation policies, insurance, and avoid reusing your assets. Hot Wallets vs Cold Wallets: Hot wallets for daily trading, cold wallets for long-term secure storage. Never share your Seed Phrase! #كريبتو #SEC #حفظ_العملات_الرقمية #Bitcoin #CryptoSecurity
The largest private bank in Brazil and Latin America, **Itaú Unibanco**, recommends its clients to allocate **1% to 3%** of their investment portfolios in #Bitcoin for the year 2026!
Despite the fluctuations of 2025, the bank sees Bitcoin as providing real diversification due to its low correlation with traditional assets, and it acts as a partial hedge against currency (Brazilian real) fluctuations and global shocks.
This follows in the footsteps of major global banks such as Bank of America and BlackRock that recommend similar allocations.
On December 12, 2025, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced a conditional approval for national trust bank charters for five leading companies in digital assets:
- Circle (issuer of USDC) → First National Digital Currency Bank - Ripple → Ripple National Trust Bank - BitGo - Fidelity Digital Assets - *Paxos
This decision represents a historic step towards integrating digital currencies and stablecoins into the traditional U.S. banking system, with full federal oversight, and aligns with the new GENIUS Act for regulating stablecoins.
The charters allow for the custody of digital assets, management of reserves, and settlement of payments on the blockchain with higher security – a strong positive signal for market growth!

A huge step towards integrating digital assets into the traditional banking system!
