An Ethereum price collapse could break the blockchain’s ability to settle transactions and freeze over $800 billion in assets, a Bank of Italy research paper warns.The paper, authored by Claudia Biancotti of the central bank’s Directorate General for Information Technology, outlined a contagion scenario where ETH’s price collapse degrades the blockchain’s security infrastructure to the point of failure.Such a breakdown, the report argues, would trap and compromise tokenized stocks, bonds, and stablecoins that major financial institutions are increasingly placing on public ledgers.Essentially, the paper challenges the assumption that regulated assets issued on public blockchains are insulated from the volatility of…

If you were a company with cash on the balance sheet, you mostly sat on your hands.That is finally starting to change.This week, Seoul Economic Daily reported that the Financial Services Commission shared a draft set of “listed company virtual asset trading guidelines” with an industry-government task force on Jan. 6.
