♨️Forbes Focuses on CertiK Skynet Report: Stablecoin Competition Enters Institution-Level Phase with "Security First" Approach

🧭PANews, December 19 – Forbes recently published an in-depth report focusing on the latest developments in the US stablecoin regulatory framework, with a particular emphasis on the "2025 Skynet US Digital Asset Policy Report" released by CertiK, the world's largest Web3 security company. The report cites CertiK's analysis, pointing out that as key policies such as the GENIUS Act continue to advance, the US digital asset industry is transitioning from broad principles to a new stage centered on specific requirements, enforceable regulation, and institutional-level compliance expectations.

CertiK co-founder and CEO Ronghui Gu stated in the report that, in the future, the issuers able to stand out in the stablecoin sector will be those companies that have already established mature, institutional-grade operational systems in reserve management, transparency, and infrastructure. The industry as a whole is also shifting towards a "security-first" approach.

Additionally, Forbes, citing CertiK's report, analyzed that the divergence in regulatory paths between the US and Europe is reshaping the global liquidity landscape for stablecoins: the US regards dollar stablecoins as strategic assets, while the EU's MiCA framework centers on protecting euro monetary sovereignty, gradually forming a "dual-track" stablecoin system. CertiK believes that regulation will not only determine who can issue stablecoins, but also who can compete globally. The real competition is shifting towards long-term operational capabilities across regulatory regimes.

♨️Senate confirms CFTC Chair pick Michael Selig as agency takes larger role regulating crypto

The U.S. Senate voted to advance President Donald Trump’s nominee, Michael Selig, to lead the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, as the agency prepares to take on a larger role in regulating cryptocurrency markets.

The Senate voted 53 on 43.

Trump tapped Selig to lead the CFTC in October following a rocky nomination process for his previous pick Brian Quintenz, policy lead at a16z. That pick faced criticism from some industry insiders, including Gemini's Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, over concerns about conflicts of interest. Two scheduled votes to move forward with Quintenz were canceled over the summer, and his nomination was ultimately dropped.

Selig has experience at the Securities and Exchange Commission as its chief counsel for the SEC's Crypto Task Force and was a partner specializing in crypto at the law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher.

He will be at the helm of the CFTC at a pivotal moment, as lawmakers consider legislation that would place the agency at the center of federal crypto regulation. Bills in the House and Senate would give the agency broader authority over the industry. The CFTC has asserted its position in crypto trading, allowing the first exchange to list regulator-approved spot crypto products earlier this month.
