REGULATION | the U.S CLARITY Act Reportedly Gets Clarity Following a Deal on Stablecoin YieldU.S. lawmakers have finalized a compromise on stablecoin yield rules under the proposed ‘Clarity Act,’ a key breakthrough that could accelerate progress on landmark cryptocurrency legislation, according to industry reports.
The agreement draws a clear distinction between prohibited ‘passive’ returns and permitted activity-based rewards, effectively barring stablecoin issuers and platforms from offering interest-like payments simply for holding tokens.
REGULATION | Here is Why Banks are Still Fighting the CLARITY ACT Stablecoin Yield
The new language introduces requirements for crypto companis to ofer rewards tied to stablecoins with a broad prohibition on rewards offered ‘in a manner that is economically or functionally equivalent to the payment of interest or yield on an interest-bearing bank deposit.’
Under the compromise, users may still earn incentives tied to actions such as payments, transfers or other on-platform activity, a provision aimed at preserving innovation while addressing concerns from traditional banks over deposit competition.
Speaking on this development, the Chief Policy Officer at Coinbase, Faryar Shirzad, said:
“In the end, the banks were able to get more restrictions on rewards, but we protected what matters – the ability for Americans to earn rewards, based on real usage of crypto platforms and networks.
We also ensured the US can be at the forefront of the financial system – which in this competitive geopolitical era is paramount.”
REGULATION | CLARITY Act Will Reportedly Bar Stablecoin Yield on Passive User Balances
The yield debate had been the main obstacle delaying the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act which seeks to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the United States.
Industry participants and lawmakers signaled the deal could pave the way for a Senate Banking Committee markup in the near term, with some calling it a ‘go time’ moment for the bill after months of negotiations.
Prediction markets show improving sentiment around the legislation’s prospects, though uncertainty remains as the bill navigates political and industry opposition ahead of potential passage later this year.
<br /> Clarity Act signed into law in 2026? Yes 69% · No 32% View full market & trade on Polymarket
For a while, banks have argued that stablecoin rewards could limit the industry and lending since they are not similar to interest-bearing bank deposits hence the proposal to base yield on activities over balances.
The Clarity Act, a broader market structure bill for digital assets, has been stalled in the Senate for months with disagreements over stablecoin yield among the key sticking points.
Based on the latest developments, it looks like the banks were indeed ‘able to get more restrictions on rewards,’ according to Coinbse legal officer.

BITCOIN | Another Bitcoin Mining Firm Sees Positive Economics As It Diversifies Into AI Infrastru...Shares of Riot Platforms rose about 8% after the company expanded its data center agreement with Advanced Micro Devices (amd), signaling a deeper push into artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The Bitcoin miner said the chipmaker exercised an option to increase its leased capacity at Riot’s Texas facility, doubling the total contracted capacity to 50 megawatts.
AI | Another Crypto Mining Firm Shifts Focus to AI Infrastructure with a $6 Billion Deal
The company is among the earliest of crypto mining firms to pivot into an AI infrastructure company as early as 2019 as the crypto mining sector faced a prolonged pressure after the 2018… pic.twitter.com/4tzN994rKm
— BitKE (@BitcoinKE) April 16, 2026
The move builds on Riot’s strategy to diversify beyond cryptocurrency mining into higher-margin data center and high-performance computing services, as demand for AI infrastructure accelerates.
Riot, which recently reported its first meaningful data center revenue, is positioning the segment as a key growth driver, even as its core mining business faces volatility from fluctuating Bitcoin prices and rising network competition.
INSIGHTS | AI is Disrupting Bitcoin by Making Mining Increasingly Unsustainable
Under the expanded agreement, AMD’s long-term lease could generate roughly $636 million in revenue over a 10-year term while offering Riot a stable income stream tied to AI computing demand.
Riot Platforms Q1 2026 financial results show a revenue of $33.2 million largely driven by the expansion of AI data center services and a net loss of $500 million.
The development underscores a broader industry trend of crypto miners repurposing energy-heavy infrastructure to support AI workloads as companies seek to capitalize on surging demand for computing power.

EXPERT OPINION | Why South Africa Still Has Exchange Controls in 2026 and How Crypto Is Getting P...
By Blake Player, Chief Commercial Offiver, VALR
An overdue conversation South Africans should be having: why do we still have exchange control in 2026, and why is crypto now being pulled inside it?
National Treasury published the draft Capital Flow Management Regulations, 2026 on April 17 2026 to replace the Exchange Control Regulations of 1961. Public comment closes on May 18 2026. For the first time, crypto assets would be formally brought inside South Africa’s capital control perimeter. By walling South Africa off, we risk being left behind in the new global, 24/7 programmable money era.
Money needs to move like information if we want to take part in the internet of value.
REGULATION | South Africa’s Draft Capital Flow Management Regulations, 2026, to Demand Limited Crypto Holdings, Mandatory Resales
A quick history lesson
South Africa’s exchange control regime was substantially tightened in 1961 after Sharpeville and used through the apartheid years to defend the rand against capital flight.
More than three decades into democracy, the bones of this 1961 regime are still very much alive and shapes how we interact financially with rest of the world.
What exchange control means in practice today
At a high level, exchange controls mean that if you’re living, working or running a business in South Africa, you cannot freely move your after-tax money offshore.
A bank acts as an ‘authorised dealer,’ policing limits on Treasury’s behalf. Individuals are capped at R2 million discretionary plus R10 million foreign investment per year. Companies face approvals and lengthy paperwork for cross-border transfers and offshore loans, turning a 5-minute task into potentially weeks. Foreign investment in South Africa is also made more challenging as removing your funds is adminstratively difficult and slow.
What the draft proposes for crypto
Crypto assets are classified as ‘capital,’ placing them firmly inside the exchange control regime.
REGULATION | Crypto Assets To Be Formally Incorporated into the South Africa Capital Flow Management – via @BitcoinKE: @OzowPay and @MoneyBadgerPay welcome the commitment to formalising the crypto asset framework. Learn more here: https://t.co/l5iNNgGmMT #bitcoinregulations…
— MoneyBadger (@MoneyBadgerPay) March 2, 2026
Transacting above a yet to be defined threshold would only be permitted through licensed ‘authorised crypto asset service providers.’
Holders must file written declarations of crypto holdings within 30 days. Each transaction would require a stated purpose, and using crypto outside that purpose could trigger a mandatory sale. In forfeiture scenarios, holders could be compelled to hand over passwords and private keys so the state can take control of self-custodied assets.
Penalties of up to R1 million and 5 years’ imprisonment are proposed.
REGULATION | The South Africa Crypto Capital Controls Demand Declarations, Tough Penalities for Non-Compliance
Why is it important to talk about this?
Consumers pay the price indirectly as South Africa becomes a harder place to do business.
Research shows capital controls are typically only useful for short-term volatility. In the long term, the cost of friction is borne in lost investment, expensive payments, and a South African discount on every asset priced in rand.
For crypto holders, this materially changes how you will be able to purchase, hold, and use your crypto assets, and it is important to raise your concerns publicly.

By Blake Player, Chief Commercial Offiver, VALR
An overdue conversation South Africans should be having: why do we still have exchange control in 2026, and why is crypto now being pulled inside it?
National Treasury published the draft Capital Flow Management Regulations, 2026 on April 17 2026 to replace the Exchange Control Regulations of 1961. Public comment closes on May 18 2026. For the first time, crypto assets would be formally brought inside South Africa’s capital control perimeter. By walling South Africa off, we risk being left behind in the new global, 24/7 programmable money era.
Money needs to move like information if we want to take part in the internet of value.
REGULATION | South Africa’s Draft Capital Flow Management Regulations, 2026, to Demand Limited Crypto Holdings, Mandatory Resales
A quick history lesson
South Africa’s exchange control regime was substantially tightened in 1961 after Sharpeville and used through the apartheid years to defend the rand against capital flight.
More than three decades into democracy, the bones of this 1961 regime are still very much alive and shapes how we interact financially with rest of the world.
What exchange control means in practice today
At a high level, exchange controls mean that if you’re living, working or running a business in South Africa, you cannot freely move your after-tax money offshore.
A bank acts as an ‘authorised dealer,’ policing limits on Treasury’s behalf. Individuals are capped at R2 million discretionary plus R10 million foreign investment per year. Companies face approvals and lengthy paperwork for cross-border transfers and offshore loans, turning a 5-minute task into potentially weeks. Foreign investment in South Africa is also made more challenging as removing your funds is adminstratively difficult and slow.
What the draft proposes for crypto
Crypto assets are classified as ‘capital,’ placing them firmly inside the exchange control regime.
REGULATION | Crypto Assets To Be Formally Incorporated into the South Africa Capital Flow Management – via @BitcoinKE: @OzowPay and @MoneyBadgerPay welcome the commitment to formalising the crypto asset framework. Learn more here: https://t.co/l5iNNgGmMT #bitcoinregulations…
— MoneyBadger (@MoneyBadgerPay) March 2, 2026
Transacting above a yet to be defined threshold would only be permitted through licensed ‘authorised crypto asset service providers.’
Holders must file written declarations of crypto holdings within 30 days. Each transaction would require a stated purpose, and using crypto outside that purpose could trigger a mandatory sale. In forfeiture scenarios, holders could be compelled to hand over passwords and private keys so the state can take control of self-custodied assets.
Penalties of up to R1 million and 5 years’ imprisonment are proposed.
REGULATION | The South Africa Crypto Capital Controls Demand Declarations, Tough Penalities for Non-Compliance
Why is it important to talk about this?
Consumers pay the price indirectly as South Africa becomes a harder place to do business.
Research shows capital controls are typically only useful for short-term volatility. In the long term, the cost of friction is borne in lost investment, expensive payments, and a South African discount on every asset priced in rand.
For crypto holders, this materially changes how you will be able to purchase, hold, and use your crypto assets, and it is important to raise your concerns publicly.

POLITICS | United States Seizes ~$500 Million in Crypto Linked to IranThe United States has seized nearly $500 million in cryptocurrency linked to Iran as part of an intensified economic pressure campaign, Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, said describing the effort as pushing Tehran into a ‘crisis.’
Bessent said the seizures were carried out under ‘Operation Economic Fury,’ a broader U.S. strategy aimed at cutting off Iran’s access to financial networks and limiting its ability to move funds internationally.

Part of the frozen funds were in USDT when Tether froze over $340 million in coordiation with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and U.S. law enforcement agencies in one of the largest enforcement actions involving the cryptocurrency to date.
MILESTONE | Tether Freezes Over $300 Million in USDT – The Largest on Record – in Coordination with U.S Law Enforcement
Under a maximum economic pressure campaign, Washington has been targeting digital wallets and financial channels tied to Iran, part of a wider sanctions regime designed to curb revenue streams linked to the government.
The campaign reportedly began in March 2025 leading to the collapse of the nation’s largest bank and massive inflation that saw the currency down by about 60-70% against the U.S dollar.
In early April 2026, Secretary Bessent revealed how they engineered the Iran Protests in early 2026 creating a dollar shortage in the country in order to drive the Iranian currency into free fall.

STABLECOINS | Spain Leads European Retail Market for This Euro Stablecoin in Q1 2026Spain has emerged as the leading retail market in Europe for euro-denominated stablecoin transactions driven by growing consumer adoption and seamless crypto-to-fiat usability, according to new data from Brighty, a digital banking platform.
Data cited shows that Spain accounted for roughly 36% of all retail transactions using Circle’s EURC stablecoin between 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, alongside about 25% of total transaction volume across Europe.
The average transaction size stood at around 49 euros ($57), indicating a strong focus on everyday retail payments rather than large transfers.
Brighty Co-Founder, Nick Denisenko, said Spanish users increasingly treat EURC as equivalent to traditional euros, particularly due to its ease of use and low-friction conversion with dollar-pegged stablecoin USDC.
The growth comes as euro-backed stablecoins gain traction in the region with EURC accounting for nearly half (49%) of the total market capitalization of euro-pegged digital assets, which stands at approximately $887 million, according to CoinGecko data.
Spain’s lead highlights a broader shift toward stablecoins for retail payments in Europe as calls for dollar-pegged stablecoin alternatives increase.
CASE STUDY | How Spain’s Largest Crypto Exchange Pivot from Retail to Infrastructure for Banks and Law Enforcement is Proving Successful
In April 2026, the Finance Minister of France urged on Europe to develop more Euro-denominated stablecoins urging banks to step up efforts to counter the dominance of U.S. dollar-backed digital assets in global payments.
STABLECOINS | Europe Should Develop More Euro-Backed Stablecoins to Counter Dollar-Pegged Assets, Says French Finance Minister
2 months ago, a consortium of major European banks announced plans to launch a Euro-denominated stablecoin in the second half of 2026 in a push to offer a regulated alternative to U.S. dollar-linked digital tokens.
The stablecoin, designed to be fully backed 1:1 by Euros, is expected to hold reserves comprising bank deposits and high-quality short-term euro-area sovereign bonds, a structure intended to support continuous redemption and liquidity from the outset.
STABLECOINS | A Euro Stablecoin is Coming in H2 2026
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) recently announced the selection of 4 companies to participate in a new stablecoin testing cohort in its regulatory sandbox allowing them to trial their stablecoin-related services under proposed regulatory frameworks in a safe, live setting.
The stablecoin sandbox cohort forms part of the FCA’s ongoing commitment to fostering innovation and growth in UK financial services.

STABLECOINS | De faux stablecoins non réglementés sont déjà négociés à Hong Kong après l'obtention des licencesLes autorités de régulation ont averti cette semaine que des cryptomonnaies contrefaites circulent déjà à Hong Kong, alors même que les premiers stablecoins réglementés de la ville n'ont pas encore été lancés.
L’Autorité monétaire de Hong Kong (HKMA) a déclaré que les jetons utilisant des symboles tels que « HKDAP » et « HSBC » sont commercialisés comme s’ils étaient liés à des émetteurs agréés, alors qu’aucun stablecoin approuvé n’est actuellement en circulation.
Cet avertissement intervient alors que Hong Kong déploie son nouveau régime de stablecoins, prévu pour 2025, les autorités ambitionnant de faire de la ville une plateforme réglementée pour les actifs numériques. Si des licences ont été accordées à certains candidats, aucune des entités agréées n'a encore émis de produit opérationnel, créant ainsi une faille que des acteurs frauduleux semblent exploiter.

CRYPTO CRIME | Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Has 86x Higher Loss Rate Than Traditional FinanceDecentralized finance (DeFi), once pitched as a system to replace traditional intermediaries, is facing mounting pressure as security failures, capital flight and growing institutional influence reshape the sector, according to a recent analysis.
The original promise of DeFi – that users could control their own assets through transparent, code-driven systems without reliance on banks – helped fuel rapid growth after 2020. But that vision is now under strain as the ecosystem struggles to deliver on key expectations, the report said.
REALITY CHECK | Lack of On-Chain Privacy Risks Holding Back Business, Corporate Payments, Says Founder, Binance
“Imagine a company pays employees in crypto on-chain. With the current state of crypto, you can pretty much see how much everyone in the company is paid by clicking…
— BitKE (@BitcoinKE) February 16, 2026
A surge in exploits has eroded confidence with DeFi hacks costing significantly more per dollar moved than breaches in traditional finance highlighting structural vulnerabilities in smart contract systems and liquidity pools.
Since 2023, DeFi has lost ~$7 billion to hacks with losses rising in recent years.
The sector has also seen sharp outflows following major incidents with billions of dollars withdrawn in recent weeks amid what analysts describe as ‘bank-run’ dynamics triggered by large-scale exploits and cascading losses across protocols.
DeFi | AAVE TVL Drops Over 50% After the Kelp DAO Exploit
At the same time, large financial institutions are increasingly entering the space bringing
tokenization,
regulated products and
institutional capital
that mirror traditional financial structures.
Critics argue this shift risks undermining DeFi’s founding principles by reintroducing centralized control into systems designed to avoid it. DeFi’s promise of an alternative trust model is further eroded by the introduction of intermediate and 3rd-parties that are increasingly starting to intervene to save the industry while centralization.
DeFi | Arbitrum Freezes Over 30, 000 ETH Tied to Kelp DAO Exploit Sparking Decentralization Debate
The growing overlap between DeFi and traditional finance is raising concerns that the industry is evolving into a hybrid model, rather than a true alternative, with
governance,
liquidity and
infrastructure
increasingly influenced by large players.
While some analysts maintain that decentralized finance remains a critical innovation, the current trajectory suggests the sector may be moving away from its original ethos toward a more institutionalized framework.
The coming years will likely determine whether DeFi can rebuild trust and decentralization or whether it becomes absorbed into the very financial system it set out to replace.

Since 2023, DeFi has lost ~$7 billion to hacks with losses rising in recent years.
The sector has also seen sharp outflows following major incidents with billions of dollars withdrawn in recent weeks amid what analysts describe as ‘bank-run’ dynamics triggered by large-scale exploits and cascading losses across protocols.

At the same time, large financial institutions are increasingly entering the space bringing
tokenization,
regulated products and
institutional capital
that mirror traditional financial structures.
Critics argue this shift risks undermining DeFi’s founding principles by reintroducing centralized control into systems designed to avoid it. DeFi’s promise of an alternative trust model is further eroded by the introduction of intermediate and 3rd-parties that are increasingly starting to intervene to save the industry while centralization.

The growing overlap between DeFi and traditional finance is raising concerns that the industry is evolving into a hybrid model, rather than a true alternative, with
governance,
liquidity and
infrastructure
increasingly influenced by large players.
While some analysts maintain that decentralized finance remains a critical innovation, the current trajectory suggests the sector may be moving away from its original ethos toward a more institutionalized framework.
The coming years will likely determine whether DeFi can rebuild trust and decentralization or whether it becomes absorbed into the very financial system it set out to replace.

CRIME CRYPTO | La Finance Décentralisée (DeFi) a un Taux de Perte 86x Plus Élevé Que la Finance TraditionnelleLa finance décentralisée (DeFi), autrefois présentée comme un système pour remplacer les intermédiaires traditionnels, fait face à une pression croissante alors que des échecs de sécurité, des fuites de capitaux et une influence institutionnelle croissante redessinent le secteur, selon une analyse récente.
La promesse originale de la DeFi – que les utilisateurs pouvaient contrôler leurs propres actifs à travers des systèmes transparents et basés sur le code sans dépendre des banques – a aidé à alimenter une croissance rapide après 2020. Mais cette vision est maintenant mise à l'épreuve alors que l'écosystème lutte pour répondre aux attentes clés, selon le rapport.

RÉGLEMENTATION | Binance Suspend le Trading en Birr Éthiopien Suite à une Pression RéglementaireBinance a annoncé qu'il désactivera le trading en Birr éthiopien à partir du 15 mai 2026.
Selon l'annonce, Binance a déclaré que la suspension survient suite à une pression réglementaire.

#EthereumFoundationSellsETHtoBitmineAgain
Le hashtag #EthereumFoundationSellsETHtoBitmineAgain fait référence à un événement crypto récent où la Fondation Ethereum continue de vendre une partie de ses avoirs en ETH à une société appelée BitMine.
Au début de mai 2026, la Fondation Ethereum a reportedly vendu 10 000 ETH à BitMine via une opération de gré à gré (OTC), d'une valeur d'environ 22 à 23 millions de dollars à l'époque. Ce n'est pas un événement isolé—c'est partie d'une série de transactions similaires tout au long de l'année. Au total, des dizaines de milliers d'ETH ont déjà été vendus en 2026, générant des dizaines de millions de dollars.
La principale raison derrière ces ventes n'est pas la panique ou le manque de confiance. Au contraire, la Fondation utilise cette stratégie pour financer ses opérations, y compris la recherche, le développement et les subventions pour l'écosystème. C'est partie d'un plan de gestion de trésorerie structuré, où les actifs crypto sont périodiquement convertis en liquidités pour garantir la durabilité à long terme.
De l'autre côté, BitMine—dirigé par l'investisseur Tom Lee—accumule activement de l'ETH et devient l'un des plus grands détenteurs institutionnels.
Cette situation crée une dynamique intéressante : tandis que la Fondation vend, de grands investisseurs achètent. Certaines personnes voient cela comme une gestion financière normale, tandis que d'autres le critiquent, arguant que cela pourrait envoyer des signaux contradictoires au marché.
