Trump Slams Banks After Coinbase CEO Secretly Met With Him

Donald Trump met privately with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, as first reported by Politico and confirmed by CoinDesk, shortly before publicly criticizing major banks on his Truth Social platform. In his post, Trump accused banks of trying to undermine the pro-crypto GENIUS Act and urged the advancement of the CLARITY Act to prevent the crypto industry from moving overseas. The key disagreement stalling the digital asset market structure legislation is over interest-bearing stablecoins. Banks, including JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, argue they threaten deposits and lending capacity and should be regulated like banks. Crypto advocates, including a presidential advisory committee executive, counter that the GENIUS Act already prohibits such lending practices and that stablecoins are not deposits. Following the meeting and Trump's statements, crypto market and related stocks, including Coinbase (COIN), saw significant gains.

Stablecoins Pose Fresh Risk To Eurozone Lending, ECB Says

The European Central Bank (ECB) warns that the growing use of privately issued stablecoins could threaten traditional bank deposits in the eurozone. If households and businesses shift cash into stablecoins instead of bank accounts, lenders may face funding shortages, potentially raising borrowing costs and slowing lending. ECB researchers highlight that stablecoins, especially those pegged to the U.S. dollar, could weaken the euro’s role in daily transactions and disrupt monetary policy transmission. Widespread adoption may reduce the predictability of interest rate changes and amplify liquidity risks during market stress. The stablecoin market, now valued at over $300 billion, could reach $2 trillion by 2028. The ECB emphasizes oversight rather than a ban, pointing to the EU’s existing crypto regulatory framework.

Iranian Crypto Outflows Hit $10.3 Million After US‑Israeli Airstrikes, Chainalysis Finds

Following joint US-Israeli airstrikes on February 28, Iranian cryptocurrency exchanges experienced significant outflows totaling approximately $10.3 million, according to Chainalysis data. The report highlights crypto's critical role in Iran's sanction-hit economy, serving both ordinary citizens and state-affiliated entities. With traditional banking access severed due to sanctions, Iranians increasingly rely on Bitcoin and stablecoins as hedges against hyperinflation and capital controls. Notably, half of Iran's $7.78 billion in crypto activity is attributed to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, underscoring digital assets' dual function as both economic lifeline and sanctions-evasion tool. The incident demonstrates crypto's rapid responsiveness to geopolitical shocks and ongoing regulatory challenges.

Web3 Lawyer Analysis: Where is the Future of U.S. Stock Tokenization?

The article analyzes the future of U.S. stock tokenization, focusing on recent moves by major exchanges like NYSE and Nasdaq to launch tokenized stock trading by 2026. It argues that traditional market constraints—such as limited trading hours due to banking schedules—are being overcome through tokenized settlements and stablecoin-based infrastructure, enabling 24/7 trading. The piece highlights how tokenization compresses traditional financial workflows, reducing reliance on intermediaries like banks and shifting value toward integrated链上 platforms. It also discusses competition from Web3 exchanges, wallets becoming key traffic entry points, and the role of stablecoins in reshaping monetary ecosystems. The author concludes that tokenization represents a structural shift in market infrastructure, merging traditional regulatory compliance with blockchain efficiency to redefine asset liquidity and global pricing power.

Bitwise: A Weekend Attack Accelerates the On-Chain Migration of the Entire Financial World

The author, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, argues that a weekend geopolitical event—an announcement of a U.S. strike against Iran—accelerated the inevitable migration of global finance onto blockchain infrastructure. While traditional markets (stocks, futures, forex) were closed, decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid, which offers perpetual contracts for crypto and real-world assets like oil, saw massive trading volume spikes. Hyperliquid’s oil contract prices were even cited by Bloomberg as a key market reference. Additionally, Tether’s gold token XAUT and prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket hit record volumes. This event demonstrated that crypto markets now function as a true, 24/7 global market during off-hours when traditional finance is inactive. The author concludes that this shift is now unavoidable and will happen faster than anticipated, forcing traditional investors, banks, and funds to adopt crypto wallets, stablecoins, and DeFi platforms to remain competitive.

Bitwise: A Weekend Attack Accelerates the On-Chain Migration of the Entire Financial World

Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, argues that the migration of traditional finance to on-chain systems is inevitable and has been dramatically accelerated by a recent geopolitical event. While he previously believed this transition would take 5-10 years, starting at the edges of finance, a weekend attack on Iran proved him wrong. On Sunday, February 28th, when most global markets (stocks, futures, forex) were closed, a major geopolitical shock occurred. With traditional venues unavailable, investors turned to the always-open, global crypto infrastructure. The decentralized exchange Hyperliquid became a central hub, with its trading volume surging and its oil futures contract prices being cited by Bloomberg as a key market reference. Its native token, HYPE, rose ~30%. Other on-chain assets like Tether's gold token (XAUT) and prediction markets also saw record volumes. Hougan concludes that this event was a watershed moment, proving that crypto markets can function as the primary market during global crises. For any competitive investor, bank, or fund, engaging with on-chain tools like stablecoin wallets, Hyperliquid, and tokenized assets is now a necessity. The biggest barrier to entry—learning these new systems—is being overcome, and this initial contact will lead to further exploration and adoption. He dismisses the idea that traditional markets can simply extend their hours to compete, comparing it to legacy companies dismissing disruptive technologies like Netflix or the iPhone. The shift to on-chain finance is now arriving much sooner than anyone anticipated.

Hong Kong Airdrops Stablecoins, US Defines Boundaries: The Institutionalization Phase of Stablecoins

Stablecoin regulation is entering a new institutionalized phase, as evidenced by recent developments in Hong Kong and the United States. Hong Kong is set to issue its first stablecoin issuer licenses by March, marking the start of a licensed era. Lawmaker Johnny Ng has proposed distributing stablecoin-based consumption vouchers to citizens to encourage adoption among local SMEs—a strategy reminiscent of the e-voucher campaigns that boosted digital payment uptake. Hong Kong’s regulatory framework requires licensed issuers to hold full reserve backing, independent custody, and face-value redemption, effectively treating stablecoin operators as quasi-financial institutions. Meanwhile, the U.S. is clarifying the regulatory status of payment stablecoins. Following a key meeting between banking and crypto industry representatives, the SEC is revising Rule 15c3-1 to include payment stablecoins under broker-dealer capital rules, applying a 2% capital deduction. Eligible stablecoins must be dollar-denominated, fully reserved, audited monthly, and redeemable. This move formally integrates payment stablecoins into the U.S. financial regulatory system. Together, these developments signal that stablecoins are transitioning from market experiments to regulated financial instruments—no longer just crypto products but recognized gateways into the global monetary system.

ECB study warns stablecoins could shrink bank deposits and alter monetary policy transmission

A new European Central Bank (ECB) working paper warns that widespread adoption of stablecoins could significantly reduce bank deposits, constrain lending, and complicate the transmission of monetary policy in the euro area. The study identifies a "deposit substitution effect," where stablecoins compete with retail bank deposits, potentially forcing banks to rely more on volatile wholesale funding. This shift could weaken banks' lending capacity and make monetary policy less predictable, especially if U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins gain traction, indirectly exposing the euro area to foreign monetary shocks. While current impacts are limited due to stablecoins' niche use in crypto trading, the paper cautions that large-scale adoption could structurally alter the traditional banking system.

US Senate Tucks CBDC Ban Into Housing Bill, Sets 2030 Deadline

The US Senate has included a ban on the Federal Reserve issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in a housing affordability bill. The amendment, part of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, prohibits the Fed from directly or indirectly offering a retail digital dollar to the public. The ban is broad, covering any digital asset functioning as a CBDC, regardless of its name. However, it includes an exception for open, permissionless, and private digital currencies that offer cash-like privacy. The prohibition is set to expire on December 31, 2030, unless Congress renews it. This move reinforces the Fed's existing position that it would not issue a digital currency without explicit congressional approval.

Strategy Watch: February

Glassnode launches Strategy Watch, a monthly newsletter analyzing fund performance and allocation trends in digital assets. The February 2026 edition reports a sharp negative shift in capital flows for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins since late October 2025, signaling weakening institutional demand and a defensive market regime. ETF and Digital Asset Trust (DAT) net flows have also softened, indicating slowing institutional interest. Additionally, Ethereum's DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) has been declining since August 2025, reflecting reduced conviction in DeFi yields. The CME basis yield for both Bitcoin and Ethereum has compressed significantly, suggesting a pullback in institutional leverage and market-neutral strategies.
