Trump\u2019s tariff shock wipes US$2 billion from US Bitcoin stash<\/h4>\n

The US government\u2019s Bitcoin holdings have dropped by nearly US$2 billion in value since April 2 \u2014 dubbed \u201cLiberation Day\u201d by President Donald Trump \u2014 following a steep market selloff triggered by tariff announcements.<\/p>\n

According to Arkham Intelligence, the 198,012 BTC held by federal agencies declined in value from US$17.24 billion to US$15.21 billion in just under a week as Bitcoin slid from over US$87,000 to below US$77,000.<\/p>\n

An executive order made by Trump in March established a strategic Bitcoin reserve sourced from seized assets, further tying federal coffers to price swings in the cryptocurrency. The losses come as the administration ramps up global economic pressure, testing the volatility of its newly created digital reserve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital asset regulations under scrutiny at congressional hearing<\/h4>\n

The Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) held a hearing on Wednesday to examine why current regulations may not apply to digital asset activities, and to explore which of these activities trigger US securities laws. Members of the subcommittee also discussed how Congress can address challenges through legislative action that reduces legal uncertainty while encouraging innovation. <\/p>\n

At the hearing, Rodrigo Seira, special counsel to law firm Cooley, told the subcommittee that current securities laws are not flexible enough to account for digital assets, citing a long list of crypto projects that have tried and failed to register their products with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that the current securities regulatory framework is not a viable option to regulate crypto. It fails to achieve its stated policy goals,\u201d Seira said in his opening remarks. <\/p>\n

\u201c(T)he idea that crypto projects can come in and register with the SEC is demonstrably false.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seira admitted that it is critical to apply federal regulations to crypto promoters; however, \u201cvirtually no crypto projects have successfully registered their tokens under federal securities laws and lived to tell the tale.\u201d <\/p>\n

Representative Bryan Steil, head of the subcommittee, praised the progress that lawmakers have made, mentioning last week\u2019s passing of the STABLE Act in the House of Representatives, before directing the subcommittee to the next stage of the process, namely comprehensive digital asset market structure legislation.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Pakistan taps Bitcoin mining and AI to solve power woes
<\/h4>\n

Pakistan is turning to Bitcoin mining and AI data centers as a solution for its surplus electricity problem, aiming to repurpose excess power into revenue-generating infrastructure. <\/p>\n

Bilal Bin Saqib, head of the country\u2019s Crypto Council, told Reuters that mining sites will be selected based on regional energy overcapacity, with former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao advising on the initiative. <\/p>\n

Despite regulatory ambiguity, Pakistan ranks among the top 10 countries in global crypto adoption and boasts over 15 million users. The move also emphasizes youth blockchain upskilling and fostering innovation in fintech through regulatory sandboxes to boost exports and economic resilience.<\/p>\n

Kraken, Mastercard bring crypto spending to 150 million merchants<\/h4>\n

Crypto exchange Kraken is teaming up with Mastercard (NYSE:MA) to roll out crypto debit cards across the UK and Europe, enabling users to spend digital assets at more than 150 million merchants. <\/p>\n

The partnership builds on Kraken Pay, which allows seamless crypto-to-fiat transactions in over 300 currencies. <\/p>\n

The new physical and digital cards \u2014 set to launch in the coming weeks \u2014 are aimed at expanding crypto\u2019s real-world utility and normalizing digital asset payments. <\/p>\n

Kraken CEO David Ripley views this as a critical step toward integrating crypto into everyday commerce, while Mastercard has underscored its commitment to innovating in digital finance and supporting blockchain initiatives.<\/p>\n
