Market Updates: Crypto Hacks Top $17B in a Decade, Stratiphy Restores UK Crypto ETN Access; Uzbekistan Establishes Regulated Crypto Mining Zone
Today in crypto, UK fintech Stratiphy has reopened tax-efficient access to crypto ETNs via ISA restructuring. In parallel, Uzbekistan has launched a regulated mining zone in Karakalpakstan with long-term tax incentives. 

Meanwhile, crypto hacks have surpassed $17 billion, with private key compromises as the leading cause, and the UK is advancing payment reforms to bring stablecoins and tokenized deposits under a unified regulatory framework.
UK-based fintech firm Stratiphy has introduced a new route for retail investors to access crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) without tax liability. The move follows a series of regulatory adjustments that had previously limited access.

For context, the Financial Conduct Authority lifted its four-year ban on retail crypto ETNs in October 2025. Initially, investors were able to hold these products inside standard stocks-and-shares ISAs, which provided tax benefits.

However, the situation shifted at the start of the 2026 tax year, after HM Revenue & Customs determined that new crypto ETN investments would no longer qualify for these ISAs.

Instead, eligibility moved to Innovative Finance (IF) ISAs, which are typically used for peer-to-peer lending. This created a gap in the market, as no major platform offered ETNs within IF ISA wrappers.

According to the Financial Times, Stratiphy has now stepped in to fill this gap by offering access to three ETNs issued by 21Shares. These include Bitcoin-linked and Ethereum-linked products, as well as a hybrid Bitcoin–gold instrument.
Meanwhile, in Central Asia, Uzbekistan has taken a significant step toward formalizing its crypto mining industry. This includes the creation of a state-backed mining zone in Karakalpakstan.

Peter Thiel-backed unicorn Ramp rolls out $0 conversions between USDT and dollars across product suite
The fintech provider, last valued at $32 billion, has rolled out support for Ethereum, Solana, and Plasma-issued USDT tokens across its entire product suite.

USDT is the largest stablecoin by market cap, followed by USDC, which Ramp previously integrated.

Ramp, the Peter Thiel-backed fintech intermediary, added support for Tether’s USDT stablecoin, according to a Ramp representative. The firm will now support the world’s largest stablecoin via its implementations on Ethereum, Solana, and the Tether-backed Plasma network. 

"What's more - we've added 1:1 USD/USDT onramps & offramps," Ramp senior crypto software engineer Alex Bazhenov said Tuesday on X, noting this means going between U.S. dollars and USDT, and vice versa, will be feeless across Ramp's "entire suite of products."

In other words, Ramp clients can now hold, send, receive, or spend USDT as easily as USD, deepening the firm’s stablecoin neobank features. The firm first added stablecoin support for the Circle-issued USDC token.

Ramp, known as one of the fastest-growing unicorn startups on record, offers corporate charge cards and software for a range of financial services, including expense management and accounting. The firm was valued at $32 billion as of November 2025, following a $300 million funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

The Block reached out to Bazhenov for comment.

USDT is the largest stablecoin by a wide margin, with its supply nearly at $190 billion, according to The Block’s data.

Ethereum is the largest chain by total stablecoin supply, with USDT representing the largest share of that market capitalization. However, Tron is currently the blockchain with the largest total amount of circulating USDT, with Ethereum a close second.

Input Output proposes scaled-back Cardano treasury plan ahead of Leios mainnet push The Leios mainnet launch is at the center of the roadmap, but IO's own tracker shows the upgrade still mid-development ahead of a 2026 mainnet target.

Several proposals aim to generate new revenue streams, from micro-fees to bitcoin-backed credit, alongside core infrastructure spending.

Input Output Global has submitted nine treasury proposals for 2026 that outline an upgrade plan for Cardano as it finalizes the rollout of its Leios network-scaling upgrade.

In a Wednesday post on X, IO Global said its total funding request is "just under 50%" of last year's, and voting will stay open through May 24. The proposals cover everything from core infrastructure and developer tooling to new economic models, with the Leios launch at the center of the roadmap.

"The 2030 Vision sets a clear target: Cardano must scale from today's approximately 800,000 transactions per month to over 27 million," the consensus proposal states, framing Leios as "the mechanism purpose-built to get there."

Etherealize updates long-term ETH price prediction to $250,000

If Ethereum captures the same monetary premium as bitcoin and gold carry as stores-of-value with a combined market cap of $31 trillion, that implies a price north of $250,000 per ETH.

The report argues ETH is unique in the history of money in being both a value store and a “productive asset.”

Etherealize, the institutional marketing and product arm for the Ethereum ecosystem, has set a new long-term price target for ETH at $250,000, arguing the token represents something of a unique asset in the history of money. 

The price call is significantly lower than Etherealize’s previous $740,000 per token target, set last year during the firm’s first public communique. It is also a significant reach for an asset that is currently trading at $2,300, according to The Block’s price page.

"It's all about timing and inevitability," Vivek Raman, co-founder of Etherealize, told The Block. "We think Ethereum is going to be the backbone of the global financial system, and that there's going to be one or two digital assets that become the store-of-value assets."

If bitcoin is a "foregone conclusion," then ETH is "the other contender," Raman added. Notably, Etherealize's report does not give a target date for its price prediction. 

Etherealize launched last year to communicate Ethereum’s usefulness as an institutional asset.
