$TREE #CreatorPad El Salvador has approved new legislation that will open the door for large financial institutions to offer Bitcoin and other digital asset services to institutional investors. The law, passed by the country’s legislative assembly, allows financial institutions with at least $50 million in capital to qualify as investment banks.
These institutions can now apply for licenses to provide services denominated in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to investors holding more than $250,000 in liquid assets.
The new framework builds on El Salvador’s existing crypto regulations, which already permit firms to register as bitcoin service providers, digital asset service providers, or digital asset issuers. The latest legislation allows qualifying investment banks to add these crypto-related licenses to their existing bank licenses. In practice, it enables well-capitalized institutions to hold Bitcoin, issue tokens, and structure crypto-linked financial instruments without creating an entirely new regulatory regime.
According to lawmaker Dania González, the reform will expand the institutional structure of El Salvador’s financial system by introducing a new but regulated entity that will operate alongside the traditional banking sector. The legislation was supported by the Ministry of Economy, signaling the government’s intention to attract larger pools of capital into its digital asset ecosystem.
In 2021, El Salvador broke new ground by making Bitcoin legal tender and requiring shops to accept it. The plan was to get people using it every day. The government pulled back on several Bitcoin projects, a step it took while negotiating a $1.4 billion loan with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Despite the global attention its Bitcoin experiment received, adoption among Salvadorans has remained low. Studies show that only about 1% of remittances involve cryptocurrencies, and just two out of every ten citizens report using them.
The Bitcoin Office, overseen by President Nayib Bukele, continues to claim that it is purchasing one Bitcoin per day.

Deep Dive 1. Bitcoin Security Shock (Bearish Impact) Overview: Arkham exposed a 2020 breach of Chinese mining pool LuBian, where 127,426 BTC ($14.5B today) were stolen. The hacker remains unidentified, and the revelation triggered concerns about Bitcoin’s vulnerability to sophisticated attacks. What it means: Market confidence dipped as traders weighed risks of similar undetected exploits. Bitcoin’s 24h liquidations hit $54M (-77% vs prior day), signaling forced selling. 2. Ethereum Bearish Catalysts (Bearish Impact) Overview: ETH dropped below $3,550 support after a whale moved 26K ETH ($95M) to exchanges. Technicals worsened with RSI at 28.83 (oversold) and Open Interest down 5.47%. What it means: Ethereum’s weakness dragged altcoins, with ETH/BTC ratio falling 0.7%. Analysts cite fading Layer-2 momentum despite upgrades. 3. Leverage Reset (Mixed Impact) Overview: Crypto derivatives open interest fell 8.4% to $799B, while funding rates stayed positive (+0.0055%). This suggests orderly deleveraging rather than panic. What it means: Traders reduced exposure ahead of potential macro risks (U.S. tariff hikes), but stable ETF flows ($151B BTC AUM) limited downside. Conclusion Today’s dip reflects a mix of security jitters, Ethereum’s technical breakdown, and cautious positioning ahead of macro events. While the 30-day market cap remains up 8.13%, traders are locking in gains after July’s rally. Watch Bitcoin’s $113K level – a hold here could signal consolidation, while a break may test the 50% Fibonacci retracement at $108K. How quickly will markets digest the LuBian hack news?

#CryptoClarityAct $BNB PENGU is gaining strong momentum, surging nearly 50% from its recent breakout and overtaking Bonk to climb to the 43rd spot in market cap rankings.
Summary PENGU price extended its rally and is now just 17% below its all-time high. The token has overtaken BONK in market cap rankings. Recent 24-hour rally was fueled by its Gemini listing. An SEC review is currently underway on Canary Spot PENGU ETF. The rally may pause for consolidation as the token shows signs of short-term overbought conditions. Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) price continues its strong upward momentum, reaching a peak of $0.047 yesterday and retesting its early January highs. The memecoin now sits just 17% below its ATH of $0.057, which was recorded in mid-December. Since breaking out from a period of consolidation within a symmetrical triangle pattern at $0.032, PENGU price has gained approximately 47%. With this surge, PENGU has overtaken Polygon to claim the 43rd spot by market cap. PENGU rally is being fueled by a series of catalysts. Most recently, PENGU was listed on Gemini yesterday, which opened access to a broader investor base and appears to have generated significant buying pressure to propel the token over 20% in the past 24 hours. This builds on previous momentum from high-profile partnerships with NASCAR and Lufthansa. The NASCAR collaboration has brought Pengu branding into mainstream sports media, while the Lufthansa Miles & More integration enables users to earn airline miles through Pudgy Shop purchases in PENGU. You might also like: PENGU price surges 20%, hits multi-month highs amid NFT market boom Adding to the bullish sentiment, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has begun its review of the Canary Spot PENGU ETF, marking the first proposed ETF to include both meme coins and NFTs. If approved, it would allocate up to 95% to the PENGU token and the remainder to Pudgy Penguins NFTs. However, the PENGU rally will likely enter a period of consolidation before attempting another move higher, as the daily RSI sits deep in overbought territory at 85,

#TrumpBitcoinEmpire Entry Into XRP’s Top 10 Now Demands Considerable Capital The financial strain is clear when analyzing average incomes and expenses. In the United States, the average worker earns roughly $5,500 per month but spends close to $4,641. Under these conditions, reaching the 2,446 XRP mark would require nearly ten months of disciplined saving.
In the United Kingdom, the gap is even wider, as an average income of £2,800 and monthly expenses near £2,600 mean it would take more than two years for the average resident to accumulate the £6,300 needed for the same XRP amount.
One year ago, when XRP was priced at around $0.49, acquiring 2,446 XRP required just $1,200—an amount many average earners could save within a few months. The sharp rise in XRP’s price now places that same volume beyond the reach of most new investors.
These changes have reshaped investor strategy, as fewer people can now afford to hold enough XRP to join the Rich List’s upper tier. This signals a maturing asset that is becoming increasingly difficult to accumulate at scale.
XRP’s sustained growth has redefined the thresholds for top-tier holders. At $3.44 per token, entering the Top 10 now requires over $8,400, a significant barrier for most retail investors. As prices hold firm, the gap between established holders and new entrants continues to widen.
