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 the outcome?”

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. Beyond the failure of its previous attempt to i

GameStop is taking a cautious, independent approach to Bitcoin (BTC) and does not does not intend to emulate the aggressive strategies of other crypto-heavy treasury firms like Strategy, according to CEO Ryan Cohen, who said Tuesday that the company

In an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box on July 15, Cohen explained that GameStop’s $512 million Bitcoin purchase in May was designed as a hedge against inflation and monetary debasement.

He explained that the Bitcoin purchase was not a signal of long-term accumulation or a pivot into becoming a Bitcoin-native enterprise.

Cohen further clarified that GameStop would not follow the model of firms like Strategy, which has built one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries in the world.

Cohen emphasized that GameStop maintains a strong balance sheet, with over $9 billion in cash and marketable securities, and will remain disciplined in how it deploys capital.

Leverage exposure expanded across derivatives markets
Open Interest surged 16.92% to $36.81M as leveraged traders aggressively increased exposure during AERO’s breakout rally. 

The rise reflected fresh participation entering derivatives markets instead of declining speculative activity during the move higher. 

Recent derivatives activity also aligned with the absence of long liquidations, reinforcing stronger bullish conviction throughout the rally. 

However, elevated leverage exposure would also increase volatility risks because aggressive positioning often amplifies directional swings during rapid market movements. 

If Open Interest continues rising while price maintains higher lows, leveraged traders would likely continue supporting bullish market structure in the short term. Final Summary 
AERO reclaimed major support as buyers maintained control throughout the breakout rally.
Rising Open Interest and short liquidations reflected stronger bullish participation entering AERO markets.

CAD/JPY trades weak after dismal Canadian jobs data. Now trading around 114.45, it reached an intraday low of 114.17. Released today by Statistics Canada, Canada's April 2026 Labour Force Survey revealed a net loss of 18,000 jobs (-0.1%), missing the projected 15,000 increase and marking the second
consecutive month of stagnation in the face of US tariff pressure. With 51,000 more individuals joining the workforce, unemployment jumped to a six-month high of 6.9%; the employment rate dropped to 60.5%; full-time jobs fell by 47,000, while part-time jobs increased by 29,000. At $37.77 (from 4.7% earlier), average hourly pay increased 4.5% year over year, driven by higher earners; Quebec was most impacted (-43,000 jobs), while Ontario gained (+42,000); juvenile unemployment stood at 14.3%. This soft data suggests declining employment momentum, in contrast to the strong US NFP numbers. This could increase the likelihood of the BoC cutting rates, even with high wages. Expect CAD/USD to be volatile in the short term. Technical AnalysisCAD/JPY is currently trading below the 34- and 55-EMA, 200 EMA, and 365 EMA on the 4-hour chart. The immediate resistance is at 115; a breach above that level could shift targets to 115.75/116.15/117/118/120. On the lower side, near-term support is at 114, and a break below this support could lead to declines
toward 113/112.35/111.80/110. Indicator

On Friday, the Center signaled a potential hike in fuel prices in the coming weeks. State-run oil marketing companies continue to face steep losses amid rising global crude oil prices.

Government officials informed that oil companies are currently losing nearly Rs. 30,000 crore every month by selling petrol, diesel, and domestic LPG below market prices. The losses have grown steadily over the past two months as crude oil prices climbed following tensions in West Asia.
