De grote Amerikaanse cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase staat onder toenemende druk nu nieuwe wetgeving dreigt het aanbieden van beloningen op stablecoins te beperken. In de Amerikaanse Senaat wordt deze week gesproken over de zogeheten CLARITY Act, een omvangrijk wetsvoorstel dat de structuur van de cryptomarkt moet vastleggen. Een gevoelig onderdeel van de wet gaat over zogeheten yield-programma’s op stablecoins, een belangrijke inkomstenbron voor Coinbase.

Coinbase biedt gebruikers op dit moment beloningen wanneer zij stablecoins aanhouden op het platform. Het bekendste voorbeeld is USDC, een aan de dollar gekoppelde stablecoin. Gebruikers die USDC aanhouden, ontvangen een vergoeding die momenteel rond de 3,5% ligt. Dit rendement wordt gedeeld vanuit de rente die wordt verdiend op de dollar reserves achter de stablecoin. Volgens Coinbase is dit model essentieel om te kunnen concurreren met traditionele banken en betaal netwerken. Banken verdienen immers al jaren miljarden dollars aan transactiekosten en aan het parkeren van geld bij de centrale bank. Door stablecoin beloningen aan te bieden, krijgen consumenten volgens Coinbase eindelijk een aantrekkelijk alternatief. Banken willen exclusiviteit Traditionele banken zien dat anders. Zij lobbyen ervoor dat alleen gereguleerde banken stablecoin beloningen mogen aanbieden. Volgens hen zorgen deze beloningsprogramma’s ervoor dat geld wordt weggehaald bij het klassieke banksysteem, wat ten koste zou gaan van kredietverlening aan onder meer kleine bedrijven, boeren en huizenkopers. The Senate Banking Committee marks up the Market Structure bill next week, and stablecoin rewards remain under debate. Congress already settled this in GENIUS—reopening it now only creates uncertainty and risks the future of the US Dollar as commerce moves onchain. Here’s why… — Faryar Shirzad 🛡️ (@faryarshirzad) January 7, 2026 Banken stellen dat crypto bedrijven profiteren van bank achtige activiteiten zonder aan dezelfde regels te hoeven voldoen. In hun ogen ondermijnt dit de stabiliteit van het financiële systeem en creëert het oneerlijke concurrentie. Volgens de Chief Policy Officer bij Coinbase, Faryar Shirzad, verdienen Amerikaanse banken al zo’n $360 miljard per jaar door $3 biljoen te parkeren bij de Federal Reserve (Fed). Directe impact op Coinbase Voor Coinbase gaat het niet alleen om principe, maar ook om harde cijfers. De inkomsten uit stablecoin gerelateerde activiteiten zijn cruciaal, vooral in periodes waarin de handelsvolumes laag zijn. In het derde kwartaal bedroegen deze inkomsten ongeveer $355 miljoen. Coinbase stelt dat de kritiek van banken niet wordt ondersteund door data. Volgens het bedrijf leidt stablecoin-adoptie niet tot minder kredietverlening. Om daadwerkelijk impact te hebben op bankdeposito’s, zouden beloningen volgens Coinbase richting de 6% moeten gaan, aanzienlijk hoger dan wat nu wordt aangeboden. De stablecoin in kwestie, USDC, wordt uitgegeven door Circle en valt al onder bestaande regelgeving. Coinbase wijst daarbij op eerdere wetgeving, zoals de GENIUS Act, die in juli werd aangenomen en duidelijke kaders stelde voor stablecoins. Coinbase heeft aangegeven dat het zijn steun aan de CLARITY Act kan intrekken als de wet te ver gaat. Achter de schermen oefent het bedrijf stevige druk uit op beleidsmakers om de regels aan te passen. Mocht de wet in huidige vorm worden aangenomen, dan is het waarschijnlijk dat Coinbase op zoek gaat naar alternatieve manieren om gebruikers te belonen, bijvoorbeeld via abonnementen, loyaliteitsprogramma’s of andere financiële prikkels. De discussie raakt de hele crypto sector. Ook andere bedrijven volgen het debat nauwlettend, omdat de uitkomst bepalend kan zijn voor hoe aantrekkelijk stablecoins blijven voor consumenten. Namen als Ripple en BitGo worden genoemd als partijen die zich voorbereiden op strengere regels.

The Manchester City Donnarumma Doubters Have Missed Something Huge

The post The Manchester City Donnarumma Doubters Have Missed Something Huge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – SEPTEMBER 14: Gianluigi Donnarumma of Manchester City celebrates the second City goal during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Manchester United at Etihad Stadium on September 14, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by Visionhaus/Getty Images) Visionhaus/Getty Images For a goalkeeper who’d played an influential role in the club’s first-ever Champions League triumph, it was strange to see Gianluigi Donnarumma so easily discarded. Soccer is a brutal game, but the sudden, drastic demotion of the Italian from Paris Saint-Germain’s lineup for the UEFA Super Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur before he was sold to Manchester City was shockingly brutal. Coach Luis Enrique isn’t a man who minces his words, so he was blunt when asked about the decision on social media. “I am supported by my club and we are trying to find the best solution,” he told a news conference. “It is a difficult decision. I only have praise for Donnarumma. He is one of the very best goalkeepers out there and an even better man. “But we were looking for a different profile. It’s very difficult to take these types of decisions.” The last line has really stuck, especially since it became clear that Manchester City was Donnarumma’s next destination. Pep Guardiola, under whom the Italian will be playing this season, is known for brutally axing goalkeepers he didn’t feel fit his profile. The most notorious was Joe Hart, who was jettisoned many years ago for very similar reasons to Enrique. So how can it be that the Catalan coach is turning once again to a so-called old-school keeper? Well, the truth, as so often the case, is not quite that simple. As Italian soccer expert James Horncastle pointed out in The Athletic, Enrique’s focus on needing a “different profile” is overblown.

If the dollar collapses, will Bitcoin win?

If the dollar collapses, will Bitcoin win?

The rapid decline of the US dollar has rekindled the dream of "super-Bitcoinization" among Bitcoin supporters. But there is little evidence that the dollar's demise spells victory for Bitcoin, and instead plenty of signs pointing to widespread societal dislocation. The Death of the Dollar: Lessons from Currency Collapses Fernando Nikolic, a former vice president of Blockstream who experienced Argentina's financial turmoil, warned that Bitcoin believers who hope for the demise of fiat currency don't know what they are expecting. "Bitcoiners celebrating the collapse of the dollar don't understand what they're asking for... This isn't liberation, this is your grandmother having to eat cat food because her savings evaporated... The demise of the dollar is not a victory for Bitcoin." In a period of true monetary collapse, basic necessities like water and food (not digital assets) would become the only things with real value. Many Americans who fantasize about a sudden transition to a Bitcoin economy have never experienced a true societal collapse. Nickrich warned that the reality is far more chaotic than they imagined and they would not actually welcome the expected demise of the dollar. The bleak picture across the United States points to a stressed fiat currency system The U.S. housing market has never been more unaffordable. Median single-family home prices in 2025 hit a record high, requiring double the income of 2019. The price-to-income ratio has reached an all-time high, homeownership has fallen to an all-time low, and millions of renters are spending 30% to 50% of their income on rent. The imbalance between wages and rising housing costs means that most potential homebuyers are locked out of the market, and social pressures continue to mount. To make matters worse, the U.S. unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.3% in August 2025, the highest level since the end of 2021, and the broader underemployment rate reached 8.1%. The figures mask the pain caused by a labor market that has failed to keep pace with inflation or by stagnant real wages. Against the backdrop of rising unemployment and house prices, the U.S. national debt exceeded $37 trillion in August 2025, more than twice the size of the country's economy. Borrowing costs continue to rise, with interest payments on the national debt exceeding even defense spending. The Congressional Budget Office projects that debt levels will reach that milestone five years earlier than originally planned due to increased borrowing and social spending during the pandemic. Debt growth of $1 trillion every five months is unsustainable and could push up interest rates and squeeze investment. When Fiat Fails, Bitcoin Doesn’t Automatically Win The US dollar index has fallen more than 10% against major currencies this year, its steepest decline since 1973. This decline has been linked to unpredictable economic policies, protectionism, and expansionary tax cuts. As the dollar depreciates, import prices rise, the purchasing power of ordinary Americans decreases, inflation worsens, and household budgets are strained. Depreciation further puts pressure on housing, employment and debt, exacerbating systemic vulnerabilities. All of these grim indicators paint a bleak picture of the fundamentals of the U.S. economy, and the U.S. dollar is often seen as a barometer for the rest of the world’s economies. If the world’s strongest currency is under pressure, what does that mean for the entire fiat currency system? While many Bitcoin advocates cry out that “Bitcoin can solve this problem,” hyperbitcoinization—the idea that people will massively turn to Bitcoin when fiat currencies fail—is a dangerous fantasy. This view ignores historical and social realities: when currencies collapse, trust evaporates, and abstract ideals are replaced by basic survival needs. Nikolic, whose experience was rooted in the collapse of Argentina's fiat currency, testified that the hope of so-called "liberation" was naive: the collapse meant only poverty, instability and suffering. When social safety nets and market norms break down, financial dislocations hit the vulnerable hardest. Bitcoin may offer an alternative to inflationary fiat currencies, but the demise of the dollar will bring not freedom but disaster and suffering to most people.
