🇺🇸🎯 THE FED REMOVES LIMITS ON CRYPTO FOR UNINSURED BANKS: A NEW REGULATORY ERA IN THE USA 🎯🇺🇸
A historic turning point in the United States. The Federal Reserve has revoked the 2023 guidance that prevented uninsured banks from engaging in activities related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
This decision marks a turning point for the American banking sector, reopening the door to institutions that had previously been excluded from any operations related to digital assets.
The move aims to harmonize the regulatory framework between insured and uninsured banks, removing restrictions that are now considered obsolete and no longer justified in a context of increasing maturity in the crypto market.
With this choice, the Fed implicitly acknowledges that cryptocurrencies are becoming a structural part of the financial system.
The result? Greater competitiveness, more innovation, and potentially a new influx of institutional capital into the digital world. A powerful signal: the United States reopens the dialogue between traditional finance and decentralized innovation. #BreakingCryptoNews #Fed #usa #bullish
🎯🔒 HEDERA, WECAN AND SEALSQ: TOWARDS A QUANTUM-SECURE FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE 🎯🔒
The future of financial security is played on a delicate ground: resistance to quantum computers. In this context, a new strategic step comes from WECAN Group, supported by SEALSQ Corp, which has just obtained a grant from Hedera / The Hashgraph Association. A move that consolidates the advancement of quantum-safe technologies in the financial sector.
SEALSQ holds a 28.3% stake in WECAN, resulting from a strategic investment that combines three complementary pillars:
👉 HEDERA, enterprise-grade decentralized ledger. 👉 WECAN, compliance and blockchain identity platform. 👉 SEALSQ, specialist in semiconductors and post-quantum software.
The funding will serve to expand resilient compliance systems, improve the secure data exchange infrastructure, and integrate decentralized identity technologies with SEALSQ's post-quantum semiconductors.
This collaboration aims to provide quantum-resistant tools for identity verification in banking, asset management, and DeFi, as well as to protect billions of IoT devices thanks to post-quantum algorithms integrated into hardware.
The reason is clear: with the arrival of quantum computers, current cryptographic protocols (RSA, ECC) risk becoming vulnerable, jeopardizing sensitive data and authentication systems.
This is not theory, but real adoption: WECAN solutions are already operational at private banks and asset managers. Hedera's support confirms that quantum security, digital identity, and compliance will be key foundations of the regulated finance of the future — a strong signal also for the HBAR ecosystem. #breakingnews #hedera #SEALSQ #quantum #QuantumCrypto $HBAR
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 🇺🇸 THE FED SIGNALS THE WAY: RATE CUTS IN SIGHT FOR 2026 🇺🇸
Heavy words from Christopher Waller, member of the Federal Reserve Board: US interest rates are still between 50 and 100 basis points above the "neutral" level, which is the equilibrium point that neither stimulates nor restrains the economy.
Waller clarified that, despite recent cuts, monetary policy remains restrictive, but new rate reductions are expected in 2026 to align the cost of money with sustainable growth.
The message is clear: the Fed sees room for a gradual easing, aiming to support the economy without reigniting inflation.
🔒🎯 SOLANA STARTS THE QUANTUM-PROOFING PROCESS WITH PROJECT ELEVEN 🔒🎯
Solana has announced a strategic partnership with Project Eleven, a leader in post-quantum security and digital asset migration, to develop and test cryptographic solutions resistant to quantum computers.
The initiative, called Project Eleven, includes a comprehensive assessment of Solana's vulnerabilities — core infrastructure, user wallets, validators, and long-term cryptographic assumptions — followed by the deployment of post-quantum digital signatures on a dedicated testnet.
Project Eleven has already demonstrated end-to-end quantum-resistant, scalable, and practical transactions with current technology, positioning Solana ahead of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which still rely on vulnerable schemes.
Matt Sorg, VP Technology of the Solana Foundation, stated: "Our duty is to ensure Solana's security not only today but for decades to come."
Alex Pruden, CEO of Project Eleven, praised Solana for its proactive approach: "They did not wait for quantum issues to become front-page problems."
Although quantum computers do not pose an immediate threat, this move strengthens long-term resilience against fund theft, validator impersonations, or cryptographic manipulations.
In an industry accelerating security measures — like Ethereum and Cardano — Solana confirms its technological leadership, attracting institutional investors concerned about sustainability. A visionary step that makes the ecosystem more robust and ready for the future. #BreakingCryptoNews #solana #quantum #QuantumCrypto $SOL #PostQuantum
The Bitcoin RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator has just generated a major reversal signal: it has fallen below 30, entering oversold territory and historically a precursor to powerful rebounds.
This extreme level signals that the market has exhausted the bearish pressure, opening the door to a potential trend shift.
Historical charts show average trajectories post-RSI<30 with rapid recoveries: Bitcoin tends to recover 20-50% in a few weeks, as seen in the 2015 and 2019 cycles, preceding new highs.
In the context of whale accumulation and growing ETFs, this setup strengthens the hypothesis of breaking the four-year cycle. If Bitcoin surpasses this phase, new highs in 2026 become inevitable, with targets well beyond $150k.
A unique opportunity to position before the next boom. History repeats itself: from oversold to euphoria. #bitcoin #Market_Update #bullish $BTC
🔥 SOLANA RESISTS A RECORD DDoS ATTACK: THE NETWORK REMAINS IMPECCABLE 💪🔥
Incredible display of strength for Solana: the network has just faced a DDoS attack of about 6 terabits per second, one of the largest ever recorded in the history of the Internet — and it came out without any downtime.
Despite the volume of malicious traffic, transactions continued to be processed in less than a second, and the infrastructure showed no signs of failing.
An impressive result, considering that in the past Solana had suffered episodes of congestion and network interruptions during peaks of activity. This success highlights the technical progress and maturity achieved by the protocol, especially after the updates implemented in 2024 to improve bandwidth management and network resilience.
In a context where reliability and scalability become key parameters for mass adoption, Solana's ability to "resist and continue to function" without compromises represents a strongly bullish signal.

🐋🎯 WHALES IN MOVEMENT: PURCHASED 5 BILLION DOLLARS IN BITCOIN IN JUST ONE WEEK 🎯🐋
On-chain data reveals an impressive signal: Bitcoin whales have purchased over 5 billion dollars in BTC in the last week, recording the fastest accumulation pace since 2012.
This level of activity is not random. Historically, such significant movements by whales have preceded major rallies or phases of market transition.
The increase in accumulation coincides with a complex macro context: geopolitical uncertainty, softer monetary policies, and growing institutional interest with increasingly capitalized spot ETFs.
The dominant interpretation is clear: something big is coming. Whales do not buy to speculate in the short term, but to position themselves before the next significant move.
Imagine a future where artificial intelligence does not work alone, but as a team of super-efficient agents capable of managing complex tasks with the precision of a Swiss watch.
This is exactly what NVIDIA announced with the launch of Nemotron 3, an innovative family of open-source AI models designed to revolutionize the development of intelligent systems. Available in three variants – Nano, Super, and Ultra – these models allow developers and companies to choose the perfect balance between speed, cost, and reasoning power, adapting to different needs such as software debugging or synthesizing bulky documents.
The heart of Nemotron 3 beats thanks to a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, which makes the models incredibly efficient at maintaining context over large amounts of data and managing multi-step workflows. It's not just theory: this technology integrates seamlessly with blockchains like Hedera, thanks to a strategic partnership with ServiceNow, a member of the Hedera Council.
ServiceNow, a leader in business workflow automation, is incorporating Nemotron 3 to create AI agents that combine lightning-fast intelligence with the immutable transparency of Hedera's distributed ledger.
Think about it: AIs solving complex problems in real-time, with auditable logs and a transparent history guaranteed by Hedera's DLT technology. NVIDIA and ServiceNow promise an acceleration of enterprise automation, with greater reliability and scalability.
For HBAR holders, this is big news: Hedera positions itself at the center of the AI-Web3 convergence, opening doors to revolutionary applications in finance, supply chain, and beyond. #breakingnews #hedera #NVIDIA #AImodel $HBAR #Web3
🚨🇯🇵 BOJ: RATE PANIC IS ALARMISM, MARKETS ALREADY READY 🇯🇵🚨
The panic in the markets over a possible increase in rates by the Bank of Japan (BOJ), limited to 0.25 percentage points from the current 0.50% to 0.75%, seems exaggerated. The markets have already priced in this move with a 94% probability in overnight swap contracts, reducing the risk of sudden shocks.
Unlike previous unexpected hikes that caused significant crashes, this decision is widely anticipated and could slip beyond the meeting on December 18-19. 👉 Previous vs. Current Scenario
The bipartisan senators have just presented the SAFE Act, a groundbreaking law to combat fraud in the crypto world.
Enough with the scandals that cost billions to investors: this proposal creates a special task force with the Treasury, FBI, and federal regulators (SEC, CFTC).
What does it entail in detail?
👉 Quick identification: Real-time monitoring of fraudulent schemes like rug pull, pump-and-dump, and phishing on wallets. 👉 Advanced tracking: Use of blockchain analytics to trace suspicious transactions on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins, freezing stolen assets. 👉 Coordinated actions: Joint raids, accelerated criminal sanctions, and fund recovery for victims.
The task force will publish annual reports on emerging threats. This SAFE Act strengthens crypto credibility in the USA, attracting institutional investors and countering regulatory chaos. #BreakingCryptoNews #usa #SecurityAlert
🇺🇸🎯 FDIC APPROVES RULE FOR BANK STABLECOINS UNDER THE GENIUS ACT 🎯🇺🇸
Yesterday, December 16, the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) approved a proposed rulemaking that establishes application procedures for banks supervised by the FDIC that wish to issue payment stablecoins through subsidiaries, as provided by the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act).
This move represents a crucial step towards regulatory clarity in the USA, allowing state banks that are not members of the Fed and savings associations to launch "payment" stablecoins in a safe and controlled manner.
Applications must include detailed descriptions of the proposed stablecoin, financial data of the subsidiary, ownership structure, custody policies, and agreements with clients, along with a commitment letter from a registered accounting auditor.
The FDIC will notify the completeness within 30 days and decide within 120 days; in case of silence, approval is automatic, with the possibility of appeal within 30 days. The GENIUS Act, signed into law by President Trump, creates a federal framework for stablecoins, limiting issuance to authorized issuers (Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuers - PPSI) and imposing standards on reserves, capital, liquidity, and risk management. The FDIC only evaluates statutory factors such as financial soundness, managerial quality, and compliance, without imposing additional requirements.
This opens the door to institutional adoption, with custodial services reserved for regulated entities. FDIC Acting Chair Travis Hill described the proposal as "tailored" to assess safety and stability, announcing future rules on capital and liquidity by July 2026.
The initiative strengthens U.S. innovation in crypto, integrating stablecoins into the traditional financial system and fostering competition with non-bank players. #BreakingCryptoNews #usa #Stablecoins #FDIC
🇲🇭🎯 THE MARSHALL ISLANDS LAUNCH THE FIRST UNIVERSAL INCOME ON THE BLOCKCHAIN 🎯🇲🇭

With Stellar supporting the technical infrastructure, the government of the Marshall Islands aims to demonstrate how technology can strengthen public trust and simplify the management of state resources in a secure, decentralized, and verifiable way. #BreakingCryptoNews #stellar #XLM #blockchain #INNOVATION $XLM
🇺🇸🎯 PAYPAL SEEKS BANKING LICENSE USA: FINTECH TOWARDS FULL BANKING 🎯🇺🇸
PayPal has officially applied for a national banking license in the United States, a strategic step that would transform the digital payments giant into a true financial institution.
This would allow the offering of checking accounts, personal loans, debit cards, and FDIC insured deposit services, directly competing with JPMorgan and Bank of America.
With over 400 million active users and a consolidated crypto ecosystem (support for BTC, ETH, PYUSD stablecoin), PayPal aims to seamlessly integrate fiat payments, crypto, and banking.
The move comes in a favorable regulatory context under the Trump administration, with accelerated fintech deregulation. For investors, it is a strongly bullish signal: it strengthens PYPL as a bridge between Web2 and Web3, potentially driving the rally of fintech stocks (Square, Coinbase) and institutional crypto adoption.
After years of global expansion, PayPal becomes "all in one": payments, savings, and lending. The future of banking is digital and decentralized. #breakingnews #Paypal #usa #PYUSD
🎯 AAVE WINS AGAINST THE SEC: 4-YEAR INVESTIGATION CLOSED 🎯
Great news for the DeFi world: Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, announced that the SEC has officially closed its four-year investigation into the Aave protocol.
After four years of regulatory scrutiny, the American agency found no violations, marking a historic victory for the market-leading decentralized lending protocol. Aave, with over 10 billion in TVL, was under the spotlight for its flash loan activities and DAO governance, but the outcome completely clears the team and the community.
This closes a chapter of uncertainty that has hindered many US crypto projects. Kulechov emphasized on X: "The SEC closed the investigation without actions," a sign of maturity for DeFi.
For investors, it's bullish: it strengthens confidence in Aave (AAVE +5% post-announcement), opening doors to new institutional integrations and listings. The protocol continues to innovate with V4 on the way. A step towards regulated crypto normalization. #BreakingCryptoNews #AAVE #SEC $AAVE
🇯🇵🎯 JAPAN APPROVES MAXI STIMULUS OF 118 BILLION: BULLISH FOR MARKETS 🎯🇯🇵
Japan has approved a supplementary budget of 18.3 trillion yen (118 billion dollars), the largest stimulus package since the Covid era, aimed at financing a comprehensive program of 21.3 trillion yen launched last month.
This extra budget far exceeds last year's 13.9 trillion yen, marking a clear expansive turn under the leadership of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
Most of the resources will come from new debt issuances, in a country that already has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio among major economies, around 230–250%.
The package funds energy subsidies, cash transfers to families, and incentives for investments in strategic sectors such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence, along with an additional increase in defense spending to bring it towards 2% of GDP, also in response to growing Chinese military pressure in the region.
Despite the ruling coalition not having a majority in the upper house, support from part of the opposition allowed for the final approval. After the approval, Takaichi bowed deeply in the chamber, reiterating that the government will implement "strategic fiscal spending to protect the standard of living of the people and build a strong economy."
For global markets, it is a new signal of additional liquidity, the stimulus of 118 billion dollars injects global liquidity, supports risk assets such as stocks and crypto, favoring potential rallies in the markets. #breakingnews #Japan #bullish $BTC $ETH
🇺🇸🎯 US BANKS RECEIVE GREEN LIGHT FOR CRYPTO TRANSACTIONS 🎯🇺🇸
Remarkable news from the United States: the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has officially confirmed that U.S. national banks can buy and sell digital assets, effectively opening a new era for the integration of cryptocurrencies into the traditional banking system.
The decision pertains to so-called "riskless principal" transactions, where the bank acts as a neutral intermediary between the buyer and seller, nearly eliminating market risk.
This means that institutions will be able to offer their customers regulated crypto trading services, marking a clear step towards the normalization of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. financial sector.
The OCC's authorization represents a strong signal for the entire crypto ecosystem: from speculative investment to a tool recognized by institutions.
If banks begin to adopt these services on a large scale, we could witness a wave of new liquidity and confidence in the market. One thing is certain: the boundary between traditional finance and crypto is becoming increasingly thin. #breakingnews #usa #OCC #bullish
🇺🇸 USA TAX REFUNDS RECORD IN 2026: WHAT THE 150 BILLION MEANS 🇺🇸
USA Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that in the first quarter of 2026, tax refunds between 100 and 150 billion dollars could arrive, setting up one of the largest refund seasons ever in the United States.
According to his estimates, for families this would translate into average checks between 1,000 and 2,000 dollars per household, thanks to the retroactive provisions of the new tax package "One Big Beautiful Bill."
The law, passed in July, extended and enhanced tax cuts and deductions without many workers adjusting their withholding in their paychecks, thus generating tax credits that will be "returned" in 2026 in the form of large refunds.
Independent estimates indicate that the average refund could increase by about 1,000 dollars compared to the last tax season, particularly benefiting the middle and upper-middle class.
The White House and Republicans in Congress are already talking about the "largest refund season in US history," highlighting the potentially expansive impact on consumption at the beginning of 2026. #breakingnews #usa #Bessent
⚡THIS CRYSTAL CAN STORE DATA FOR 13.8 BILLION YEARS ⚡
A startup from the United Kingdom, SPhotonix, is bringing out of the lab a storage technology that seems like science fiction: the 5D Memory Crystal, based on fused silica glass disks etched with ultra-precise lasers.
A single disk of about five inches can hold up to 360 TB of data, utilizing five dimensions of encoding: three-dimensional position of points, orientation, and intensity of light. This combination creates an extremely dense memory and, above all, incredibly durable.
The truly revolutionary feature is longevity: the structure of the glass and the storage method are designed to remain stable for an estimated time of 13.8 billion years, which is the approximate age of the universe. It requires no power, cooling, or continuous maintenance: the data simply remains “static,” immune to magnetic degradation, obsolescence of media, and many environmental conditions that would destroy traditional hard disks.
SPhotonix has announced that in the next two years it will start pilot projects with data centers, aiming to transform this technology into a real solution for long-term storage. Reading and writing speeds today are still lower than conventional media, but future developments aim to drastically increase performance.
If the validation process goes well, this technology could redefine the storage of scientific archives, critical government data, and permanent records of humanity, becoming a sort of “digital Rosetta Stone” for the upcoming technological eras. #breakingnews #INNOVATION
🎯 HEDERA AND GBBC: THE PARTNERSHIP THAT CHANGES THE RULES OF THE GAME 🎯
Imagine a blockchain that does not chase the fleeting hype of meme coins or speculative pumps, but quietly positions itself at the center of global power: regulators, governments, and institutional giants.
This is exactly what is happening with Hedera, which has officially welcomed the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) as its first Strategic Partner on its Council. This is not just any marketing announcement: it is pure influence, a bridge between distributed technology and global policy.
Who is GBBC? We are talking about the largest blockchain industry association in the world, with over 500 institutional members – banks, multinational companies, governments – active in 124 jurisdictions. They have deep ties with regulators like the SEC, EU, and international bodies, and lead crucial initiatives like the Global Standards Mapping Initiative (GSMI).
This is the map that decides which technologies survive stringent regulations: it is not enough to be fast or decentralized; enterprise-grade compliance is required. For Hedera, this means a seat at the decision-making table. While other networks chase virality on Twitter, Hedera focuses on trust, scalability, and regulatory alignment.
Its Hashgraph is not "crypto-first", but enterprise-first: secure for transactions in trillions, compliant with global standards. Institutions like banks and governments do not ask, "Is it crypto-native enough?", but "Is it scalable, secure, and regulatable?".
Hedera + GBBC responds perfectly, opening doors to real use cases: supply chain, cross-border payments, asset tokenization. For HBAR holders, this is not a temporary pump. It is long-term infrastructure that generates authentic demand, adoption, and value.
Hedera positions itself as an enterprise-level DLT, a bridge between innovation and regulation. Quiet, strategic, sustainable. The networks that shape the standards dominate the future – Hedera has just made the ultimate level up. #BreakingCryptoNews #hedera #hbar $HBAR
