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 th

#Zoomex has outlined a structural shift in cryptocurrency market dynamics, stating that traditional liquidity indicators such as trading volume and visible order book depth are becoming less reliable in an environment increasingly driven by Al-powered and algorithmic trading systems. Advertisement According to the platform, the rise of automated trading has exposed a growing gap between displayed liquidity and actual execution outcomes, prompting the need for a new framework to evaluate trading performance. Traditional Liquidity Metrics Are Losing RelevanceHistorically, traders have relied on metrics such as trading volume and order book depth to assess exchange quality.
However, as Al-driven strategies become more dominant, these indicators are proving insufficient.In fast-moving markets, algorithmic systems can rapidly place and cancel orders, creating what appears to be deep liquidity while reducing actual executable volume. This often results in slippage and inconsistent fills, particularly during high-volatility periods. Zoomex noted that this disconnect is becoming more visible as execution speed and order book stability come under pressure from increasingly sophisticated trading systems.A Zoomex representative commented."What we are seeing is a structural shift. Visible liquidity can no longer be treated as reliable. In an Al-driven market, what matters is whether liquidity can be executed consistently in real time. "Execution Quality Is Becoming a More Important Liquidity BenchmarkAs Al-driven participation increases across digital asset markets, market participants are placing greater emphasis on execution outcomes rather than relying solely on static order book snapshots. Industry analysis shows that liquidity depth alone does not always reflect actual trading performance during volatile conditions. In highly automated environments, rapid order adjustments can widen the gap between visible and executable liquidity. Recent liquidity analysis of major exchan

Dogecoin price prediction – Will the memecoin overcome the 78.6% Fibonacci barrier?Recently, Dogecoin’s [$DOGE] price was at the risk of facing a setback after weeks of upward momentum. However, the $0.088 support level was defended throughout April, and $DOGE managed to rally past $0.10 from this support.

AMBCrypto had warned that $0.117 was the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level, and could see a sustained bearish move. However, over the past 24 hours, the leading memecoin gained by 4.5% after briefly descending from $0.117 to $0.105.

Will the higher timeframe downtrend take control in the coming days? Or is this a sign that the bulls have overcome the rejection and may be ready to make new highs?

Israel urges US to bomb Iran’s energy infrastructure within 24 hours as crypto markets brace for impact

Israel has urged the United States to bomb Iran’s energy infrastructure within 24 hours, a move designed to break a diplomatic stalemate and ratchet up pressure on Tehran.
Joint strikes by the US and Israel on Iran commenced on February 28, 2026. Israel subsequently claimed on March 10 that it possessed the capability to destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure within a single day. Now it wants Washington to pull the trigger.

Bitcoin is on a structural path to reach $1 million per coin within the next five years, according to Matthew Sigel, VanEck's head of digital assets research.Speaking on CNBC's "Halftime Report," Sigel characterized the asset's ascent as a "base case" driven by shifting demographic trends and its emerging role as a legitimate central bank reserve asset. Despite Bitcoin and Ethereum trading down year-to-date, Sigel maintains a "constructive" view of the current price action, describing it as a short-covering rally rather than a derivative-fueled bubble. The executive noted that Bitcoin's correlation with the Nasdaq has reached a five-year high, suggesting that recent gains are largely macro-driven."There's no bailouts in Bitcoin," Sigel cautioned, emphasizing that while the $1 million "mega-trend" is possible by 2031, investors should expect significant cyclical volatility along the way.Sigel's bullishness extends to the convergence of artificial intelligence and Bitcoin mining, highlighting firms like Hut 8 that are pivoting to Al infrastructure. This cycle is a core focus for VanEck's digital asset strategies, which aim to smooth out the asset's inherent price swings.The $1 million forecast joins a growing sentiment of hyper-bullish institutional predictions. Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood recently reaffirmed her conviction in the apex cryptocurrency while lowering her 2030 price target to $1.2 million, down from an earlier $1.5 million. Wood cited the rapid adoption of dollar-pegged stablecoins in emerging markets as having "usurped" some of Bitcoin's intended utility. However, the founder is still optimistic, noting that institutional adoption and gold's performance serve as leading indicators of the next major bull run. Meanwhile, MicroStrateav Chairman Michael Savlor delivered

Dell
Technologies Inc. (NYSE: DELL) surged to an all-time high on Friday after receiving a public endorsement from President Donald Trump during a White House event. The president encouraged Americans to "go out and buy" Dell computers as part of a push to support U.S.-based technology manufacturing, sending investor optimism sharply higher.Dell shares climbed as much as 14.6% intraday, reaching a record $263.99 before trimming gains slightly. The stock still closed up more than 13%, reflecting strong market confidence in Dell's expanding role in the artificial intelligence infrastructure sector.The rally comes months after Dell founder Michael Dell and his wife Susan Dell
reportedly contributed $6.25 billion to the
"Trump Accounts" initiative, a federal wealth-building program designed for children. The donation strengthened ties between the Dell family and the current administration, further boosting investor sentiment around the company.Beyond political momentum, analysts continue to highlight Dell's growing dominance in the Al server market. Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh recently raised his price target on Dell stock from $215 to $260 while maintaining an Outperform rating. Analysts believe rising enterprise demand for Al servers, data center infrastructure, and advanced computing solutions could significantly benefit Dell over the next several years.Bank of America also increased its Dell price target to $246, citing the rapid emergence of agentic Al technologies. According to analyst Wamsi Mohan, agentic Al creates more complex and sequential inference workloads, increasing demand for high-performance CPU and server infrastructure. This trend could position Dell to capture a larger share of the rapidly expanding $496 billion Al server industry.The broader Al hardware sector also gained momentum after Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) issued stronger-than-expect

The S&P 500's push to a record near 7,400 confirms a late-cycle, full-risk-on regime where Bitcoin and major crypto assets are again trading as high-beta extensions of U.S. equities rather than as independent hedges. Summary The S&P 500 has pushed to a new all-time high near 7.400. up rouahly 0.8% on the day, extending a rally in U.S. equities.

Gate's futures ean tape show the S&P 500 pushing 300s and briefly tagging the 7,400 Borsa Italiana print putting the index 0.12% at Thursday's U.S. cash open g gains. Strategists at JPMorgan and Jefferies have been calling for exactly this kind of move: late-2025 notes from both houses flagged 7,500-7,600 as a plausible 2026 target, with upside toward 8,000 in a "blue sky" scenario if inflation keeps easing and the Fed manages a shallow cutting cycle. Equities at all-time highs, macro backdrop still supportive That is essentially where we are now: war in Iran has not derailed earnings or multiple expansion, and Al-heavy megacaps have dragged the entire benchmark higher. MarketWatch, summarizing JPMorgan's latest revision, said the bank now sees 7,600 as a base-case year-end level with room to 8,000 if rate cuts arrive and the Al boom persists. A separate Yahoo Finance explainer asked whether the S&P at 7,000-7,400 already looks "bloated," warning that stretched valuations and narrow leadership make the rally vulnerable to any macro disappointment

Can Bitcoin’s scarcity narrative fuel further upside momentum? At the time of writing, the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) ratio surged to 1.5923 million, marking a 75% increase and reinforcing Bitcoin’s scarcity appeal. Historically, high S2F readings accompanied bullish phases as tighter supply boosted investor conviction. Of course, this follows the post-halving drop in issuance, which may amplify scarcity-driven demand from retail and institutions alike.
