content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Crypto and financial industry leaders have raised concerns over Elon Musk's proposed X Money. This includes Senator Elizabeth Warren, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, who warned that the move will threaten financial stability. Senator Elizabeth Warren Questions Elon Musk's X MoneySenator Warren wrote a letter to Elon Musk in which she raised concerns about the proposed April launch for the payments platform, X Money. She stated that developments around the launch of the payments platform raise significant consumer, financial stability, and national security concerns. Related Reading: Elon Musk Has Confirmed When X Money Will Be Available, But Do You Know What To Expect?As part of these concerns, the senator noted that X Money may partner with Cross River Bank, which was subject to a serious enforcement action by the FDIC in 2023 for unsafe and unsound practices. She also highlighted X Money's preview materials, which suggest that users can earn up to 6% APY on deposit accounts. Warren said it is unclear what risky investments they plan to pursue to earn this yield when the Federal funds rate is at 3.75%. Senator Warren also raised concerns over X's record of allowing sanctioned individuals like Hezbollah and the Houthis to purchase verified accounts and raise funds through the platform.

XRP Price Volatility Falls to Multi-Year Lows, Setting Up a Potential Major Move

XRP price is trading just above $1.40, pinned in a $1.30–$1.45 range with almost nothing happening – and that’s exactly what makes this setup worth watching.

The asset’s 30-day Realized Volatility Index has collapsed to approximately 0.42, its lowest reading since 2024, a quantifiable compression that historically precedes sharp directional moves rather than continued silence.

The case was brought by Drift Protocol investor Joshua McCollum, representing more than 100 affected members. Their attorneys put it plainly: Circle allowed criminal use of its own technology. The complaint was filed Wednesday in a Massachusetts US district court by Drift investor Joshua McCollum, representing more than 100 members. The April 1 attack on Drift Protocol saw attackers drain funds and route them from Solana to Ethereum using Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol, a bridging tool the company operates. The transfers happened over several hours, according to reports. The window was wide open. What makes the lawsuit particularly pointed is what happened just days before the hack. About a week prior, Circle froze 16 USDC wallets tied to a sealed US civil case. Plaintiffs seized on that detail. If Circle could move fast for a court-adjacent matter, they argue, it could have acted here too. That single fact sits at the center of the legal fight. I hope there’s some precedent set. Either you’re a decentralized protocol and literally do not have the power to freeze or you’re not and you should be freezing hacked funds. This middle ground hand wavy “only with a

Former UK Prime Minister sees economy on 'very negative trajectory,' indicates support for bitcoin

Liz Truss, the U.K.'s shortest-serving prime minister, said the country's economy has been stagnating for decades and many of the problems result from a lack of sound money and the debasement of the currency, an erosion in the value of sterling caused by inflation and the printing of new banknotes.

Truss, who led a Conservative government for 45 days in 2022, said the financial situation strengthened her interest in bitcoin , which some observers see as a tool against debasement. She said she's "very interested" in the cryptocurrency, which she first encountered when working at the Treasury and mentioned it there "to shake things up." Truss was Chief Secretary to the Treasury for about two years until July 2019.

“A lot of the problems we have are due to debasement of our currency and lack of sound money,” Truss said in an interview with CoinDesk. The absence of serious debate around money in academia and government had become “quite sinister,” and discussions about monetary policy had become “a taboo” within government, despite its central role in driving economic outcomes.

For Truss, bitcoin sits alongside a wider concern about centralization and control. She warned the current system is geared toward increasing “centralized control” and limiting financial independence, particularly through regulation and taxation, and positioned bitcoin as part of a pushback against that trend.

The economy is on a “very negative trajectory,” she said, warning the country faces long-term decline driven by weak growth, rising state control and what she sees as a failure of monetary policy.

“We are getting relatively poorer, very quickly,” she said, pointing to high taxes, regulation and energy costs that make “the risk often not worth the reward” for entrepreneurs. “There

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure France’s Finance Minister Roland Lescure has called for the development of more Euro-pegged stablecoins. This comes amid rising tensions between the European Union and the US, as the EU seeks to weaken US dominance over its payment systems. Related Reading: Crypto Shockwave: Circle Sued As $280 Million Drift Hack UnravelsEuro-Stablecoins: Europe’s Push For Financial IndependenceStablecoins represent a unique type of cryptocurrency with a fixed value pegged to a fiat currency. Although other fiat-backed stablecoins exist, US dollar–denominated stablecoins such as USDT and USDC overwhelmingly dominate the market, reflecting the greenback’s role as the world’s primary reserve currency. Notably, these US-dollar-pegged stablecoins are poised for long-term expansion following President Donald Trump’s signing of the GENIUS Act in July 2025, thereby providing the needed guardrails for institutional participation. According to a Reuters report on April 17, French Finance Minister Roland Lescure, in pre-recorded comments at a crypto conference in Paris, advocated that European banking institutions develop more euro-pegged stablecoins, noting that their volume compared to US-dollar counterparts was “not satisfactory.” Lescure commended the Qivalis initiative by certain European banks, including ING, UniCredit, and BNP Paribas, which are jointly developing a euro-based stablecoin to launch in H2 2026, aiming to combat the US dollar’s dominance. According to Reuters, the advocate for Euro-stablecoins represents part of the European authorities’ efforts to reduce reliance on non-European providers, especially given tense US relations, driven by disputes over security burden-sharing and a global conflict approach, among other issues.

Worldcoin saw a sharp decline of over 13%, dropping to around $0.28 even as the broader crypto market moved higher. The drop came despite major announcements from the identity-focused project, which is expanding its “proof of human” technology through new integrations with leading global platforms.

The project, backed by Sam Altman, is pushing forward with its iris-scanning system designed to verify real human identity in an era increasingly dominated by AI-generated content. New integrations include video conferencing platforms using facial authentication to combat deepfakes, digital signature services adding identity verification to agreements, and social applications expanding user verification systems.

The core idea behind this expansion is to address a growing problem: distinguishing real humans from AI agents. As artificial intelligence becomes more advanced, deepfake scams and identity fraud are becoming harder to detect using traditional methods. Worldcoin’s solution aims to create a reliable infrastructure where every digital action can be linked to a verified human without exposing personal data.

However, despite the strong technological narrative, the market reaction has been negative in the short term. The price decline suggests that investors may be concerned about potential risks tied to the project’s model, particularly around privacy and data control. Biometric systems, especially those collecting sensitive data like iris scans, have sparked debate over how securely this information can be stored and who ultimately controls it.

Critics argue that large-scale biometric data collection could lead to surveillance concerns if not properly regulated. The idea of a single entity managing such sensitive identity infrastructure raises questions about centralization and long-term trust.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Crypto pundit James has highlighted what the XLS-66 amendment is about and what it would mean for XRP holders in terms of earning yields. This comes as the XRP Ledger validators prepare to vote on the amendment, which will introduce the institutional lending protocol. How XRP Holders Can Earn Yields Through XLS-66 AmendmentIn an X post, James noted that, contrary to what XRP holders may think, the XLS-66 amendment is not just about depositing one’s tokens and collecting interest. Instead, it is a structured, institutional lending protocol in which investors’ yields accrue within the single-asset vault and are realized only when they choose to redeem their deposits.  Related Reading: Major Ripple Developments You Might Have Missed That Could Affect The XRP PriceAs such, the XLS-66 amendment won’t give XRP holders automatic payments or dividends. Instead, they receive an MPT token, which represents the altcoin they deposited into the vault. These MPT shares grow in redemption value over time. James noted that the borrowers aren’t retail investors but banks, market makers, fintechs, and payment providers borrowing short-term working capital on neutral rails. As such, holders are not lending their capital to strangers. Instead, they are participating alongside institutions in the same transparent on-chain pools. He added that the redeem-and-deploy cycle across multiple vaults is how they manage risk and realize periodic income without locking everything up indefinitely. How The Vaults Operate Pundit Bodhi had also broken down how the XLS-66 amendment works and how holders can enjoy yields from these single asset vaults. He noted that as borrowers repay their loans, they repay both the principal and the interest. The interest remains in the vault and i

Legendary Investor Turns $31K Bet on Asteroid Shiba into $301K: Details An unidentified crypto trader has transformed a modest bet on Asteroid Shiba (ASTEROID) into a substantial gain after enduring more than a year of losses.

In the fast-paced cryptocurrency market, where participants often pursue quick profits, the activity of wallet '0x2aff' presents a stark contrast.

According to Lookonchain, the trader made a high-risk move in late 2024 by accumulating billions of ASTEROID tokens. Although the position initially deteriorated, it has since surged sharply following an extended holding period.
