BitcoinWorldAave Founder Warns UK Stablecoin Rules Could Push Issuers Abroad

Stani Kulechov, founder of the decentralized lending protocol Aave (AAVE), has raised concerns that the United Kingdom’s current stablecoin regulatory framework may inadvertently drive issuers to more favorable jurisdictions. While acknowledging recent progress by the Bank of England (BoE), Kulechov pointed to a lingering requirement that he argues undermines the economic feasibility of operating within the country.

Bank of England’s Partial Progress

The BoE recently removed a previously proposed limit that would have restricted individuals from holding more than £20,000 in stablecoins. Kulechov praised this move as a positive step toward broader adoption. However, he emphasized that a separate rule requiring stablecoin issuers to deposit 30% of their reserve assets in a non-interest-bearing central bank account remains in effect. According to Kulechov, this provision effectively functions as a tax on issuers, as those funds cannot generate returns to support operational costs.

Economic Viability at Stake

Kulechov explained that the inability to earn yield on a significant portion of reserves directly impacts the business model of stablecoin issuers. Without the ability to generate returns on 30% of backing assets, the cost of compliance and issuance rises sharply. He argued that this regulatory burden could make the UK an unattractive base for stablecoin companies, potentially pushing innovation and economic activity to regions with more accommodating policies, such as the European Union under its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework or parts of Asia.

SpaceX’s $600 billion plunge erased nearly half of bitcoin’s market cap in three days.SpaceX's stock has lost more than $600 billion in market value over three trading days, which is nearly half of bitcoin's $1.3 trillion market cap, after announcing its first bond sale.

Bitcoin fell less than 1% over the same stretch, holding near $63,600, per CoinDesk data.

The stock dropped 16% on Monday to $154.60, its lowest since its June 12 debut, taking its three-day decline to about 23%. The trigger was supposedly a plan to sell at least $20 billion of bonds, the company's first time borrowing in the debt markets, to fund the artificial-intelligence buildout it took on when it bought Elon Musk's xAI in February.

SpaceX chose to borrow rather than issue new shares, which would have diluted existing holders. A week ago it, was worth nearly $2.5 trillion and had briefly passed Amazon and Microsoft but now sits just above $2 trillion.

The selling ran into Tuesday, with a perpetual futures contract that tracks SpaceX on Hyperliquid down another 15% to around $151.

Prominent XRP commentator Bill Morgan has opined that San Francisco-headquartered firm Ripple should speed up the release of its escrowed tokens, which remain a hot topic of debate within the community.

Based on current distribution rates, Ripple’s massive stash of locked tokens could take nearly a decade to be fully emptied out. Morgan argues that a swifter release schedule could actually unlock XRP's true potential. "Ripple should release more of the 1 billion each month and not lock so much back in escrow," Morgan shared on the X social network. "The sooner it is all released from escrow, and the circulating supply is 100% the quicker XRP will become the best hard money."

However, calculating the exact day when it is going to happen is notoriously difficult: Ripple tends to re-lock varying sums of unspent tokens. The company retains only a small fraction for its institutional operations.On the first of every month, Ripple unlocks exactly one billion XRP tokens. For example, on June 1, the company unlocked one billion tokens across three separate transactions that were valued at over $1.33 billion at the time when they were being performed. A substantial portion of these tokens ended up being re-locked. Ripple's Chief Technology Officer Emeritus David Schwartz has previously confirmed that the firm voluntarily returns whatever XRP it does not need or use.

Cardano Founder Reveals SpaceX Discussion Details, Shares Bullish Crypto Prediction

While short-term market weakness continues to worry investors, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said that many traders are missing the bigger catch. Speaking in a recent podcast, Hoskinson urged the crypto community to stop focusing on daily price swings and instead pay attention to the massive long-term growth happening across the industry. Cardano, he noted, often benefits from a long-term focus over reacting to short-term market moves.

“The Long-Term We Win”

At the same time, he also shared new details about his conversations with SpaceX, revealing that discussions touched on Starlink and future communication technologies. Notably, Cardano’s community has also speculated on these advancements and their potential impacts.

BitcoinWorldWon Stablecoin Usage May Peak at 4.4% Even With Widespread Merchant Acceptance, Study Finds

A new analysis from the Korea Institute of Finance suggests that even if nine out of ten merchants in South Korea were to accept a won-backed stablecoin, actual transaction usage would likely plateau at just 4.4%. The finding, reported by Money Today, underscores the gap between infrastructure availability and consumer adoption in the digital currency space.

Adoption vs. Usage: A Critical Gap

The report projects that a 90% merchant acceptance rate would lead to an 18.5% adoption rate — meaning roughly one in five customers would register and hold the stablecoin in a digital wallet. However, the actual usage rate for payments would drop sharply to 4.4%. In practical terms, this means that even with near-universal availability, only about four out of every 100 customers would use the stablecoin for transactions.

The study highlights a recurring challenge in the digital payments industry: registration does not equal active use. Consumers may hold stablecoins for speculative purposes, as a store of value, or due to inertia, but converting that holding into routine transactional behavior remains a significant hurdle.

Implications for South Korea’s Digital Currency Strategy

South Korea has been a notable testbed for digital currency innovation, with the Bank of Korea actively exploring a central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilot program. The findings from the Korea Institute of Finance suggest that simply ensuring merchant acceptance is insufficient to drive widespread stablecoin usage. Behavioral factors, such as consumer trust, convenience, and existing payment habits, play a decisive role.

The report also raises questions about the viability of privately issued won-backed stablecoins versus a government-issued CBDC. If ev

#TradFi Trading Strategies Sharing Axie Infinity falls 12% after $1.25 rejection – But THESE 2 AXS metrics suggest…


Axie Infinity [$AXS] surrendered a large portion of its recent advance after sellers stepped in near the $1.25 area and pushed the token lower.

The asset traded at $1.03 at press time, reflecting a 12.3% decline over the last 24 hours. Despite the retracement, market activity intensified rather than faded.

Trading volume climbed 67.3% to $71.34 million, indicating that participants remained highly engaged during the correction.

Earlier, $AXS delivered a sharp breakout move that attracted fresh interest across the market. However, the latest decline suggested that many traders secured profits following the rapid rise.

Even so, elevated volume showed that buyers and sellers continued battling for control, keeping $AXS among the more actively traded assets in the market.

Are spot buyers absorbing the selling pressure?

Spot market participants continued showing interest despite the recent decline.

According to CryptoQuant analytics, the Spot Taker CVD remained buyer-dominant, revealing that market buy orders continued to outweigh sell orders across the observed period. The trend suggested buyers had not fully stepped away even as the token corrected from its local high.

While price moved lower, spot demand remained relatively firm, creating an interesting divergence between market activity and price action.

Such conditions often reflect accumulation behavior rather than widespread capitulation.

Nevertheless, buyers still faced the challenge of absorbing supply from traders who secured profits during the rally.

If spot demand continues strengthening, $AXS could stabilize above current levels.

Otherwise, persistent selling pressure could delay any meaningful recovery attempt over the near term

source-logo  Leverage Reset Shifts Focus to Spot Demand
Bitcoin’s futures market has undergone a sharp leverage reset. Traders are now watching whether the next move will be driven by spot demand rather than derivatives speculation. Data shared by Cryptoquant on June 22 showed total $BTC Open Interest across exchanges falling from $26.0 billion to $20.89 billion during June.

The drop in futures exposure outpaced the decline in price. Bitcoin fell from roughly $71,200 at the start of the month to $63,234 by June 21, down 11.4%, while Open Interest contracted 19.5%, indicating futures exposure was reduced more aggressively than the decline in $BTC price.

Referring to the decline in futures positioning and the reduction in leveraged exposure across the market, the analyst stated:

“So far, the data shows that excess leverage has been reduced.”

Traders often track the relationship between price and Open Interest to assess market structure. During the first week of June, $BTC fell to a local low of $60,900 on June 6 while Open Interest dropped from $26.0 billion to about $22.4 billion, a pattern consistent with liquidations and position reductions rather than a buildup of new leveraged positions.

The chart labeled this period a “ Leverage Reset,” with both price and Open Interest declining together. That differs from a price drop accompanied by rising Open Interest, which can signal growing speculative positioning
