Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the company’s stablecoin plans, warning of serious risks to financial stability, competition, privacy, and payments integrity.

Meta’s Stablecoin Trials Under Scrutiny

This week, US Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a new letter to Meta’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, raising concerns about the company’s plans to integrate stablecoins into the platform.

In the letter, the Ranking Member of the Senate Banking Committee highlighted recent reports suggesting that Meta was conducting a “small and focused” trial with a third-party stablecoin and that the company plans to begin its integration in the second half of this year.

As reported by Bitcoinist, Meta began rolling out USDC payouts for select creators in Colombia and the Philippines last month, using Solana and Polygon as supported blockchain rails.

Warren affirmed that it is “essential” for the US Congress to fully understand the implications of Meta’s integration plans as it considers the crypto-market structure bill, the CLAIRTY Act.

“Any attempt to control, influence, or preference a stablecoin on Meta’s platforms–even a stablecoin issued by a third party–could have serious implications for competition, privacy, the integrity of our payments system, and financial stability,” she argued.

The Senator also raised concerns about the lack of transparency, underscoring Meta’s failed attempt to launch its own stablecoin six years ago. For context, the company announced its Libra project in 2019, but it was ultimately shut down in 2022 after massive pressure from US regulators and politicians.

“It is critical that Meta be transparent with Congress and the public regarding its stablecoin-related plans.

Six issuers are now behind the biggest milestone yet in Ethereum-based government debt.

A Market Built By Many Hands

BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, issued through Securitize, holds the largest share. But the race to $8 billion wasn’t a one-company story.

Franklin Templeton’s iBENJI, WisdomTree’s WTGXX, Ondo Finance’s USDY, Centrifuge’s JTRSY, and Superstate’s USTB all contributed to what Token Terminal now confirms is an all-time high for tokenized US Treasury products on Ethereum.

The total market cap sits at roughly $8 billion — up about 100% in just six months.

That kind of growth, spread across multiple established institutions and crypto-native platforms, points to something broader than a single firm testing the waters.

Major asset managers are building these products because they see demand. And that demand is coming from investors who want US government debt exposure with the operational advantages that blockchain infrastructure provides — faster settlement, around-the-clock access, and programmable functionality not available in traditional bond markets.

The market cap of tokenized U.S. Treasuries on @ethereum is at an ATH of ~$8 billion, up ~100% over the past six months.

Ethereum is where nearly all of this activity is concentrated. Data from rwa.xyz shows the network leads the tokenized Treasury space by a wide margin. BNB Chain is the closest competitor, holding $3.4 billion in tokenized Treasury value. Solana, Stellar, and the XRP Ledger each hold under $1 billion.

ECB President Christine Lagarde has pushed back against the idea that Europe should answer dollar crypto stablecoin dominance by promoting euro-denominated stablecoins of its own, arguing instead that the region should build tokenised financial infrastructure anchored in central bank money.

In a speech at the Banco de España LatAm Economic Forum in Roda de Bará, Spain, Lagarde framed stablecoins as one of the fastest-moving policy questions in global finance. The market, she said, has grown from less than $10 billion six years ago to more than $300 billion today, with close to 98% of stablecoins denominated in US dollars and nearly 90% controlled by Tether and Circle.

Lagarde: ECB Must Not Copy US Crypto Stablecoin Model

That concentration has turned crypto stablecoins into more than a crypto-market instrument. In Lagarde’s view, they now sit at the intersection of monetary power, financial stability and tokenised-market infrastructure.

“The growing argument is that to remain relevant, Europe must respond by promoting euro-denominated stablecoins of its own,” Lagarde said. “Otherwise, it faces a future of digital dollaritation and a loss of monetary sovereignty.”

But she argued that this framing misses the central issue. Stablecoins, according to Lagarde, perform two separate functions that are often conflated: a monetary function, by extending the reach of a currency, and a technological function, by acting as the cash leg for settlement on distributed ledger infrastructure.

“The argument I want to develop today is that once we disentangle those two functions, the case for promoting euro-denominated stablecoins is far weaker than it appears,” she said. “And a more fundamental question comes into view: do we actually need stablecoins to obtain the benefits they are said to provide? Or are we mistaking the instrument for th

With the crypto market turning slightly bearish, the Ethereum price has lost the $2,300 mark, raising questions about the stability of its recent upswing. Amid this sideways price action, a report shows that a fading bullish sentiment among Ethereum whales is evidenced by a significant decline in their holdings.

Large ETH Players’ Portfolio Shrinks Sharply
After examining Ethereum whales‘ holdings, Ali Charts, a seasoned market expert and trader, revealed that these key investors are exhibiting a trend not seen in over a year. While ETH’s price is slowly losing its upside momentum, a major wave of selling has rattled the ETH market.

This heightened selling activity was observed among large investors or whales holding between 1,000 ETH and 10,000 ETH as they dump nearly a quarter of their holdings in the face of uncertainty. Such a trend underscores a major decrease in exposure, which raises questions about confidence and short-term market stability.

Since October 6, 2025, Ethereum holders between 1,000 and 10,000 ETH have undergone a notable regime shift in their market activity. Prior to the shift, the cohort was spotted in a steady accumulation phase. During the period, these investors’ ETH portfolio saw a rise from 12.95 million ETH in April 2025 to a peak of 15.95 million ETH by October 6, 2025. Fast forward to May 2026, and this behavior has flipped again.


Source: Chart from Ali Charts on X
As seen in the chart shared by Ali Charts, the amount of ETH held by these mid-tier whales has dropped from 15.95 million to about 12.52 million, which represents an approximately 21.5% decrease in their total position. This simply implies a dramatic change in positioning from some of the network’s largest investors.

Ali Charts have flagged this development as a supply overhang. According to the expert, this suggests that the road to the $3,000 may r

Josh Shapiro has sued Character.Al after a chatbot falsely posed as a licensed Pennsylvania psychiatrist and offered medical advice to a state investigator. Summary A Character.Al bot named "Emilie" claimed to be a licensed Pennsylvania psychiatrist and provided a fake state medical license number during a state investigation. The bot offered depression assessments and told an investigator its consultations were "within my remit as a Doctor." Pennsylvania is seeking a preliminary injunction to bar Character.Al bots from practicing medicine without a license. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro sued Character.Al on May 6, targeting the company's chatbots for allegedly practicing medicine without a license. The state said an investigation found that chatbots presenting themselves as fictional characters had claimed to be licensed medical professionals, including psychiatrists, available to discuss mental health symptoms with users. A Character.Al bot named "Emilie" told a state investigator that assessing whether medication could help was "within my remit as a Doctor." The bot also claimed a Pennsylvania medical license and supplied an invalid license number. As of April 17, 2026, Emilie had logged approximately 45,500 user interactions on the platform.

Cardano (ADA) Today News
Cardano is currently moving in a slow consolidation phase, with price trading inside a narrow range after recent market volatility. Buyers are holding support levels, while resistance zones are limiting upward momentum.
Recent updates show Cardano continues focusing on long-term ecosystem growth, including improvements in scalability, smart contracts, and decentralized applications. Developers remain active on the network, and analysts say ADA’s research-driven approach still attracts long-term investors.
At the same time, short-term market sentiment remains cautious because trading volume is lower compared to faster-moving Layer-1 competitors like Solana and Ethereum. Traders are waiting for stronger ecosystem catalysts or broader crypto market momentum before expecting a major breakout.
Price Prediction (ADA)
Short-term range: $0.38 – $0.48
Bullish breakout target: $0.55 – $0.70
Strong bullish scenario: $0.90+ if adoption and volume increase
Bearish downside zone: $0.30 – $0.33
Analysts believe ADA is still in a long-term accumulation phase and could show stronger movement later if market conditions improve

Crypto Prediction Markets Move Into Mainstream Finance as Institutional Interest Grows

Traditional finance firms are expanding into crypto prediction markets as event-based contracts draw deeper liquidity. Chainalysis said inflows have risen sharply since September 2024, supported by retail traders, market makers, and institutions.
Traditional firms are expanding their presence as crypto prediction markets attract deeper liquidity.

Retail activity helped draw market makers, institutions, and larger deposits into event contracts.

Regulatory disputes may shape how prediction markets enter broader financial infrastructure.


Major exchanges and financial firms are accelerating work on crypto prediction markets as event-based contracts gain institutional liquidity. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis said May 7 that inflows have risen sharply since September 2024, helped by retail activity, market makers, and institutional participation. The trend shows prediction markets moving from niche crypto speculation toward financial infrastructure.

Retail traders first helped drive activity by betting on outcomes tied to elections, rate decisions, sports, and entertainment. That activity attracted professional firms seeking pricing gaps and stronger order books. Market makers now supply large deposits that support deeper trading, bringing prediction markets closer to derivatives-style venues. The traditional finance push includes exchanges, brokerages, crypto platforms, and asset managers building products around event contracts. Chainalysis stated:

“The most significant shift is the arrival of traditional finance. Major institutions are no longer ignoring the volume these markets generate; they are building infrastructure to capture it.”

Smart contracts provide the core structure. Users deposit collateral into blockchain systems, while stablecoins support settlement. Decentralized o
