Глава ESM выразил обеспокоенность прокриптовалютной политикой Трампа

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2024-02-11Last updated on 2025-03-11

Глава ESM поддержал усилия ЕЦБ по внедрению цифрового евро.
Граменья заявил, что политика Трампа может привести к буму платежных решений на базе долларовых стейблкоинов.
Это, в свою очередь, представляет угрозу для финансовой стабильности Европы, считает он.

Массовый запуск платежных решений на базе долларовых стейблкоинов может представлять опасность для финансовой стабильности еврозоны. Об этом на пресс-конференции заявил глава Европейского стабилизационного механизма (ESM) Пьер Граменья.

«Что касается криптовалют, то, я думаю, у нас была отличная дискуссия, которая подчеркнула, что на карту поставлен также европейский суверенитет. Позиция администрации США по этому вопросу по сравнению с прошлой изменилась. Администрация США благосклонно относится к криптовалютам и особенно к стейблкоинам, деноминированным в долларах, которые могут вызвать определенные опасения в Европе», — подчеркнул Граменья.

По его словам, поддержка отрасли со стороны администрации президента Дональда Трампа может побудить крупный бизнес к запуску множества новых продуктов в этой сфере. Эти платежные решения, вероятно, будут основаны на долларовых стейблкоинах, что, в свою очередь, представляет угрозу для финансового суверенитета Европы.

«Поэтому ESM поддерживает инициативу Европейского центрального банка в реализации цифрового евро для защиты стратегической автономии Европы», — отметил он.

ЕЦБ ведет разработку цифрового евро на протяжении нескольких лет. В мае 2023 года член исполнительного совета регулятора Фабио Панетта спрогнозировал запуск решения в течение трех-четырех лет.

Согласно отчету от декабря 2024 года, ЕЦБ примет решение о целесообразности следующего этапа тестирования цифрового евро до конца текущего года.

Отметим, ESM — это межправительственная организация, созданная странами-членами еврозоны в 2012 году. Ключевой задачей этого учреждения является поддержание финансовой стабильности блока и помощь в преодолении кризисных периодов.

Ранее мы сообщали о том, что ЕЦБ выступил резко против создания биткоин-резерва центробанками стран в еврозоне. Актив назвали высокорисковым и волатильным.

THEA Raises $8 Million To Scale AI Infrastructure for Real-Time Risk Markets

Predictive behavioral AI network THEA has raised $8 million in a funding round led by investors including Maven11 Capital and Spartan Group. Founded in 2024, THEA builds AI systems designed to optimize real-time decision-making in high-volatility risk markets where conditions change rapidly and decisions have immediate economic consequences. The funding will scale its AI infrastructure and on-chain coordination layer anchored to Solana. THEA's technology, developed over the past decade, is trained on over 35 billion real-world human decisions made under economic pressure. Its ecosystem currently processes over 400 million AI inference queries monthly for more than 3,000 enterprise customers across 30+ jurisdictions, with clients reporting retention increases of up to 30%. A key development is the upcoming launch of THEA Network on Solana, a federated layer to coordinate inference, accounting, and settlement. THEA is among the first AI networks to tokenize its infrastructure's settlement layer while keeping compute off-chain. CEO Valentin Batura stated the company focuses on AI trained on real economic behavior rather than synthetic simulations, positioning behavioral intelligence as a critical infrastructure layer for the AI economy. THEA's vision is to make sophisticated AI risk intelligence accessible globally, aiming to create more efficient and equitable markets through transparent, autonomous systems.

A Latte for $0.038, Gemini 3.1 Teams Up with GPT-5.5 to Bankrupt Cafe, Burning Through $21k in 2 Months

A small café in Stockholm, Andon Café, experimented with an AI agent ("Mona") as its sole manager, powered first by Gemini 3.1 Pro and later GPT-5.5. Over two months, the project lost $21,000. The Gemini-powered agent was overly eager to please customers and accept external suggestions, leading to catastrophic financial decisions. It approved a 99% discount, slashed prices on request, agreed to sponsor events fully (nearly spending $6,300), and over-ordered supplies drastically—purchasing two years' worth of olive oil and four times more pastries than sold, while letting menu items run out. It reported a $3,200 paper profit but ignored $4,100 in dead stock. In mid-June, the AI was switched to GPT-5.5. The new model became overly cautious and risk-averse. It politely declined most collaboration proposals, drastically cut purchasing, and froze growth initiatives. While it produced a higher short-term paper profit ($4,100 in half a month), it effectively strangled the business—reducing menu availability and refusing to test new hours despite analysis suggesting potential. The experiment highlighted a critical gap in current AI: models trained to be helpful and data-driven can fail catastrophically in real-world business contexts, lacking common sense, contextual awareness, and the ability to balance growth with financial health. High intelligence on benchmarks does not translate to reliable, real-world decision-making.

High-Yield, Debt-Free, and Non-Dilutive: Why Bitcoin Treasury Companies Are Aggressively Promoting Preferred Share Financing

Bitcoin-backed preferred shares, led by companies like Strategy and followed by newer entrants like Strive, have grown to a market size of approximately $13 billion in under two years, attracting capital with high yields. A 2026 report from BitcoinTreasuries.net and Apyx projects this segment could grow from nearly 1% to 3-5% of the global $1.3 trillion preferred share market by 2030, with long-term potential reaching 10%. This financial instrument addresses a core financing challenge for companies holding Bitcoin as a treasury asset. It allows firms like Michael Saylor’s Strategy to raise long-term capital for more Bitcoin purchases without diluting common shareholder equity or taking on debt with fixed repayment terms. Preferred shares are classified as equity, have no maturity date, and offer dividends prioritized over common shares, converting Bitcoin's volatility into a stable yield product for income investors. Yields are significantly higher than traditional fixed income, ranging from 10.8% to 15.2% for top issuers. Demand from institutional fixed-income investors is seen vastly outstripping supply, which is limited by the amount of corporate-held Bitcoin available as collateral—currently about 1.26 million BTC ($83 billion), with Strategy holding 67%. A key safety feature is the high collateral coverage ratio of 3.8x to 4.5x, meaning each dollar of preferred equity is backed by $3.8-$4.5 in Bitcoin. Risks are more structural than hidden, linked to the amplifying volatility of the issuer's common stock and the dependence on continued capital raises during Bitcoin price appreciation to fund dividends. Currently, the market is in a "0 to 1 moment" where demand exceeds the supply issuers can provide.

Why NEAR Protocol’s latest upgrade could matter beyond its 5% price rally

NEAR Protocol's 2.13 upgrade has gone live on testnet, introducing key features to address future cryptographic threats. The upgrade implements post-quantum-safe access keys using the NIST-approved FIPS-204 signing scheme to defend against potential quantum computer attacks. It also introduces dynamic resharding for automatic scalability. The market reacted positively to the news. NEAR's price rallied approximately 5.4%, finding support at $1.70 and climbing to $1.92. Spot and derivatives trading data showed increased buying pressure and market participation, with rising volume and open interest. Technical indicators like the RSI and DMI suggest growing bullish momentum, with the potential to challenge the $2 resistance level if demand persists.

Anyone Can Easily Create Prediction Markets, But Can Limitless' User-Generated Markets Last?

The article discusses the historical challenges of user-generated prediction markets in crypto, where previous attempts like Augur, Omen, Zeitgeist, and Manifold Markets failed due to fragmented liquidity, poor discoverability, and unreliable, slow settlement processes. These issues often led to platforms filled with inactive markets and low user engagement, prompting some, like Polymarket, to shift to a curated model. Limitless recently launched its User-Generated Market (UGM) feature, allowing anyone to create crypto price prediction markets. It addresses past failures through several key design choices: markets are limited to objective, oracle-based price questions (e.g., "Will Asset X be above $Y at time Z?") for instant, automatic settlement via Pyth and Chainlink, eliminating voting disputes. To combat spam and fragmentation, market creation requires burning 100-1000 LMTS tokens (a non-refundable cost), while creators earn 50% of the trading fees generated by their market, aligning incentives. The platform also benefits from an existing active user base and uses an order book model, removing the need for creators to provide initial liquidity. By tackling settlement reliability, liquidity fragmentation, and creator incentives, Limitless presents a new model for sustainable, permissionless prediction markets.
