Tether announced it has engaged an unnamed Big Four accounting firm to conduct the first full independent audit of the US$192 billion in reserves backing USDT.

The move follows the GENIUS Act, signed in July 2025, which requires foreign stablecoin issuers with more than US$50 billion in volume to undergo annual reserve audits. Tether says it has hired a Big Four accounting firm to conduct the first full independent audit of the reserves…

BNY CEO Robin Vince told the Digital Asset Summit in New York that major financial institutions will drive the next stage of crypto adoption by bridging traditional and digital finance. Vince identified tokenisation of loans and real estate as near-term catalysts, noting BNY launched tokenised deposits in January 2026 with ICE, Citadel Securities, and Circle among early adopters. He warned that without regulatory clarity, 90% of the financial services community will refuse to participate, describing adoption as a “5, 10, 15 year journey.” BNY Mellon chief executive Robin Vince said the next phase of crypto adoption will come through large…

Bitcoin is no longer reacting only to macro in the conventional sense. It is increasingly reacting to single geopolitical developments that reprice the macro path itself.Threat escalation produced a sharp selloff. De-escalation produced an immediate rally. The pattern carries more weight than any individual move.It suggests Bitcoin is starting to…

A new chart from Jameson Lopp has reopened one of Bitcoin’s oldest internal debates: whether visible node counts reflect real support for a rule change.The immediate flashpoint is BIP-110, a draft proposal that would temporarily impose much tighter consensus-level limits on non-monetary data, following Bitcoin Core 30’s loosening of the default OP_RETURN policy.Lopp says the node surge behind it may be Sybil-inflated (i.e., artificially boosted by a single actor running many nodes to simulate broader support).SignalWhat it can showWhat it cannot provePublic reachable node countVisible distribution of software on the networkReal economic support for a rule changeNon-listening / private nodesBroader…
