Congress on verge of making regulated dollar stablecoins act almost like digital cash


Washington isn't trying to solve every crypto policy fight at once, but it appears to be carving out a workable path for one specific category of digital asset: the regulated, dollar-pegged stablecoin.

The $GENIUS Act established the first federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, and a bipartisan House tax discussion draft now proposes friendlier tax treatment for those same tokens when people actually use them.

Together, the two efforts point toward a deliberate, stablecoins-first lane in American crypto policy that could reshape how users, merchants, and issuers interact with digital dollars in the years ahead.

What the stablecoin tax draft actually proposes

The draft legislation is the Digital Asset PARITY Act, a bipartisan discussion draft first released in December 2025 by Representatives Max Miller (R-Ohio) and Steven Horsford (D-Nevada), both members of the House Ways and Means Committee. An updated version was re-released on March 26, 2026, with significant revisions to its core stablecoin provision.

In the revised March draft, gains from selling a “regulated payment stablecoin” generally wouldn't be included in gross income, and losses wouldn't be recognized, unless the taxpayer's basis in the token falls below 99% of its redemption value.

For exchanges, the recipient would take a deemed basis of $1. To qualify, the stablecoin must be issued by a permitted payment stablecoin issuer under the $GENIUS Act, pegged only to the US dollar, and have demonstrated tight price stability over the prior 12 months. Brokers and dealers are excluded.

For ordinary people, this means spending a qualifying dollar stablecoin could stop triggering a small, irritating tax event every time the token's value drifts a fraction of a cent.

The draft is trying

Aerodrome eyes $0.60: Can a new launch push AERO higher?

Over the past four consecutive days, Aerodrome Finance [$AERO] has been experiencing an upward trend, which has continued into the weekend.

$AERO is up 13% over the past seven days, with hype growing amid the upcoming upgrade to make the platform multichain. How will this move affect holder revenue, TVL, and the price action of $AERO?

Impact on holders’ revenue and TVL

Aerodrome Finance is built and fully operates on a single chain, which is Base. However, the team announced they would be launching a cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) in July, which is expected to improve revenue among other metrics.

Even as it operates on a single chain, the platform led in terms of holders’ revenue over the past month.

Aerodrome brought in $7.4 million a month for its holders, according to DefiLlama. This was more than double that of Uniswap [UNI], which operates on 43 chains with a reading of $3.3 million.

Hyperliquid [HYPE], which also operates on a single chain, followed $AERO with $1.37 million. PancakeSwap [CAKE], which is built on BNB Chain but accommodates about 10 chains, and Pharaoh Exchange and Raydium [RAY] made it into the list of top 6.

Such a move to upgrade the platform to a multichain DEX is set to expand holder revenue as the user base increases.

Moreover, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on Base Chain may continue growing more rapidly with this launch. Currently, the TVL is approaching $5 billion since launch.

Let’s answer that question directly before doing anything For SPELL to “come back” in any meaningful sense, three things would need to happen simultaneously: Abracadabra.money would need to stop getting hacked (three exploits totalling over $21 million in the last 18 months), the protocol’s annual token inflation of approximately 60% would need to be overcome by demand growth, and the broader DeFi lending market — where Abracadabra competes against Aave with $74 billion TVL compared to Abracadabra’s $154 million — would need to rotate capital toward smaller, less audited protocols.

The Lightning Network isn’t ‘helplessly broken’


A post from Udi Wertheimer a few weeks ago made headlines across crypto media with a stark claim: the Lightning Network is "helplessly broken" in a post-quantum world, and its developers can do nothing about it. The headline traveled fast. For businesses that have built real payment infrastructure on Lightning or are evaluating it, the implications were unsettling.

It deserves a measured response.

Wertheimer is a respected Bitcoin developer, and his underlying concern is legitimate: quantum computers, if they ever become sufficiently powerful, pose a real long-term challenge to the cryptographic systems on which Bitcoin and Lightning depend. That part is true, and the Bitcoin development community is already working on it seriously. But the framing of Lightning as "helplessly broken" obscures more than it reveals, and businesses making infrastructure decisions deserve a clearer picture.

What Wertheimer got right

Lightning channels require participants to share public keys with their counterparty when opening a payment channel. In a world where cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) exist, an attacker who obtains those public keys could theoretically use Shor's algorithm to derive the corresponding private key, and from there, steal funds.

This is a real structural property of how Lightning works. What the headline leaves out

The threat is far more specific and far more conditional than "your Lightning balance can be stolen."

First, the channels themselves are protected by a hash while they are open. Funding transactions use P2WSH (Pay-to-Witness-Script-Hash), meaning the raw public keys inside the 2-of-2 multisig arrangement are hidden onchain for as long as the channel remains open. Lightning payments are also hash-based, routed through HTLCs (Hashed Time-Lock Contracts), which r

GalaxyOne Head Wants Retail Investors to Stake More, Predict Less
In brief

GalaxyOne Head Zac Prince said he’s “not particularly excited” about prediction markets when it comes to enabling customers to build long-term wealth.

The executive highlighted the retail investment platform’s recent support of Solana staking and associated lending products in the firm’s pipeline.

Staking has enabled competitors like Coinbase to diversify revenue, while others like Robinhood have embraced prediction markets as growth drivers.

For Galaxy’s retail investment platform, enabling customers to bet on the news isn’t a priority, according to Zac Prince, head of GalaxyOne. Rather, the service that debuted in October is being built in a way that’s intended to reward investors’ patience, he told Decrypt.

Within the context of Galaxy’s broader business, Prince said the financial services and investment management firm is already in a good place as far as prediction markets are concerned, providing institutional clients with internal trading and risk management.

When it comes to consumers that GalaxyOne was built for, who have anywhere between $100,000 and $1 million in investible assets, he described prediction markets as tools that may not align with many affluent consumers for building long-term wealth.

“For individual consumers, I’m not particularly excited about it versus other things we have on our roadmap,” he said. “I haven’t been able to find a use case for someone who’s building a diversified portfolio—that they’re going to allocate to for the long term—for prediction markets.”
In some ways, the sentiment echoes commentary from Charles Schwab President and CEO Rick Wurster, who indicated this week that America’s largest discount brokerage would limit prediction-market access to wagers focused on financial events if it enters that territory.

Prince argued that there are two ways to be successful as a consumer-facing financial services offer

Wrapped XRP goes live on Solana, broadening DeFi access for Ripple-linked token


Wrapped $XRP went live on Solana on Friday, issued by custodian Hex Trust and bridged through LayerZero, making the token available inside Solana's DeFi apps for the first time.

$XRP holders can now use the wrapped asset on Jupiter, Phantom, Titan Exchange, and Meteora without selling their underlying position.

Each wXRP is backed 1:1 by native $XRP held in segregated custody accounts and is redeemable at any time, according to Hex Trust.

The Solana launch is one leg of a broader rollout Hex Trust disclosed in December 2025, which also targets Ethereum, Optimism, and HyperEVM. The move fits a pattern that has accelerated through 2025 and 2026, where tokens that started their life on one chain are being bridged to others to capture yield and liquidity that did not exist at launch.

$XRP has historically functioned as a payment-rail token settled directly on the $XRP Ledger. Solana has built the opposite use case, a throughput-optimized smart contract platform where the DeFi and memecoin activity actually lives.
