MoonPay says stablecoin regulation opened the door but infrastructure must followExecutives from MoonPay, Ripple, and Paxos said at Consensus Miami 2026 that stablecoin regulation has accelerated institutional adoption but that major infrastructure and privacy gaps still block mainstream use.

Top executives at three of the most active stablecoin companies told the Consensus Miami 2026 audience on May 8 that new US regulation has fundamentally changed the competitive landscape for dollar-pegged tokens, bringing traditional financial institutions into a market that was previously difficult for them to enter. The shift, however, has exposed a new set of problems the industry has yet to solve.

Richard Harrison, MoonPay’s vice president of banking and payment partnerships, said the passage of the $GENIUS Act gave firms across traditional finance a regulatory framework to operate within. “What $GENIUS brought us was clarity,” Harrison told the panel, noting that traditional finance firms are now entering stablecoins at a faster pace because compliance is easier to evaluate.

Harrison compared the current state of stablecoin adoption to electric vehicles: the core product works, but mass-market take-up depends entirely on the supporting infrastructure. “How do you use stablecoin to pay your rent?” he said. “How do you use it to buy a cup of coffee?”

Russia is intensifying efforts to bypass Western energy sanctions after a liquefied natural gas
(LNG) tanker operating under a newly adopted Russian flag was spotted loading fuel linked to the sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 project. Ship-tracking data from Kpler, cited by Bloomberg, showed the LNG carrier Merkuriy docking near the Saam floating storage facility close to Murmansk in western Russia. The Saam storage unit has been blacklisted by the United States and its allies because it handles cargo from Arctic LNG 2, a major Russian energy project targeted by sanctions aimed at reducing Moscow's oil and gas revenues. The latest movement of the Merkuriy highlights growing concerns that Russia is building a "dark fleet" of LNG tankers designed to continue exports despite international restrictions.Analysts note that the Merkuriy displays several warning signs commonly associated with shadow fleet operations. The vessel is relatively old for an LNG carrier and recently changed ownership to Celtic Maritime & Trading SA, a little-known company with minimal industry exposure. Before the transfer, the tanker was managed by Oman Ship Management Co.The Merkuriy is reportedly one of four former Omani LNG vessels that recently switched to Russian registration and headed toward Arctic waters. Industry observers believe these ships could help Russia maintain LNG exports from Arctic LNG 2 despite mounting sanctions pressure from Western governments.The developments come during a period of severe disruption in global energy markets. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has tightened energy supplies worldwide, impacting nearly 20% of global natural gas flows. As LNG prices surge, Asian buyers are increasingly seeking alternative energy sources, potentially creating new demand opportunities for Russian LNG exports despite ongoing sanctions.The expansion of Russia's shadow LNG fleet may further co

Seven major Bitcoin mining pools have joined the Stratum V2 working group as the industry seeks a common open standard for communication between pools and miners. Summary Seven mining pools joined Stratum V2 to improve pool communication and miner choice. Foundry and AntPool control a large share of global Bitcoin mining hashrate. Crypto.news reported that up to 20% of Bitcoin miners may be unprofitable. The new members include AntPool, Block Inc., F2Pool, Foundry, MARA Foundation, SpiderPool, and DMND. The group will work on wider adoption of Stratum V2, a protocol built to improve how mining pools share work with individual miners. You might also like: CZ says US crypto rivals tried to block Trump pardon Stratum V2 aims to improve mining efficiency Stratum V2 is designed to make Bitcoin mining pool communication faster and more secure. It can also give miners more control over block template selection instead of relying only on pool operators. The timing matters because mining remains highly competitive. The Stratum V2 announcement said, “Bitcoin mining is competitive and fragmented by design.” That claim fits the current market, but the real benefit will depend on how widely pools and miners adopt the protocol. Foundry and AntPool are among the largest Bitcoin mining pools by hashrate. Their role gives the working group more market weight than earlier protocol efforts. Foundry controls nearly 30% of global pool hashrate, while AntPool controls about 17.7%, according to Hashrate Index data cited in recent reports. Their participation could help Stratum V2 move from technical work toward broader use. Miners remain under pressure Crypto.news reported that CoinShares estimated 15% to 20% of the global Bitcoin mining fleet may be unprofitable under current conditions. The pressure is strongest among miners using older machines or paying higher electricity costs. Co

Advertisement Despite short-term
stabilization above the March lows, Shiba Inu is still trading within a larger bearish market structure. The 200-day moving average is still sharply declining, and the daily chart displays SHIB trapped beneath all major moving averages. That in and of itself indicates that the macro trend is still weak, despite the recent phase of
consolidation.Almost immediately after the price touched the declining 50-day moving average, the attempt to break out from the small ascending triangle failed. Higher resistance zones could not be reclaimed by buyers due to a lack of momentum, and volume remained largely quiet during the move. SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewWhen momentum indicators stay neutral rather than overbought, failed breakouts inside downtrends typically function as continuation signals rather than reversal signals. When the RSI is close to the mid-50 range, it indicates weakness rather than strength.

Cardano's ADA may be approaching a pivotal moment as widely-followed crypto pundit Ali Martinez highlights a key support level that has historically triggered explosive 243% rallies, raising speculation that the cryptocurrency could be gearing up for another major breakout.In his latest Cardano analysis on X, Ali Martinez emphasizes that the $0.25 level remains a powerful psychological and technical anchor for ADA's price movement.
He notes that this zone has repeatedly acted as a springboard for strong recoveries in the past, and the recent rebound from the same area could be an early signal that Cardano is once again building momentum for a larger structural rally. To back up his bullish view, the crypto analyst highlighted two historical instances in which Cardano successfully defended the $0.25 support zone before staging powerful upside moves. In January 2023, for instance, ADA bounced from this level and climbed over 88% in the weeks that followed. Then in September 2023, the same support held once again, preceding an even stronger 243% rally-strengthening the argument that $0.25 has repeatedly acted as a major launchpad for Cardano's explosive price moves. ADA is once again showing strength around this familiar price floor, leading Martinez to suggest that another major upside phase could be forming.
Notably, Cardano has managed to stay above the $0.25 support zone since May 5, with the token currently hovering around $0.2736—just above this key area-suggesting bulls are still defending the level and keeping the door open for a potential continuation higher.As long as Cardano maintains support above the $0.25 level, Martinez sees room for continued upside, with a near-term move toward $0.36 coming into focus. Beyond that, he suggests that if bullish momentum remains intact, ADA could extend its gains toward a larger macro target of around $0.53. Martinez, however, als

Ripple Price Analysis: XRP Reaches Decision
Point After Weeks of Consolidation
Ripple's $XRP has continued trading within a broader bearish market structure despite the recent stabilization around the $1.3 key support zone. While short-term volatility has declined in recent weeks, the asset is now approaching a decisive technical region where the next major directional move could soon emerge.
Ripple Price Analysis: The Daily Chart On the daily timeframe, $XRP is currently facing a strong confluence of resistance levels around the $1.4-$1.45 region. This area includes the 100-day moving average, positioned near $1.4 and aligned with the upper boundary of the long-term descending channel. Such a technical confluence significantly strengthens the importance of this resistance zone and increases the probability of a bearish rejection due to growing seller presence.
