Bitcoin (BTC) traded near $67,000 over the weekend after a week of sharp swings. The broader crypto market also stayed steady, while Pi Network’s PI token held above $0.17 after days of losses.

Summary
  • Bitcoin traded around $67,000 as weekend volatility faded and the broader crypto market stayed subdued.
  • Pi Network’s PI token stabilized above $0.17 after recent losses, ending its sharp downward trend.
  • VeChain climbed 9% daily while HASH dropped 10%, marking the strongest altcoin moves reported today.

Bitcoin showed limited movement over the past 24 hours and remained close to the $67,000 level. Its price action followed a volatile week in which the asset moved between $66,000 and $68,000 before rising to $69,200 on Wednesday.

That move reversed after fresh market pressure, sending Bitcoin down to $65,700 later the same day. Since then, the asset has traded in a narrow range. At press time, Bitcoin’s market capitalization stood at about $1.34 trillion, while its market dominance remained near 56.2%.

Broader altcoin market stays quiet

Most large-cap altcoins posted small changes during the same period. Ethereum held near $2,050 after a slight daily loss, while XRP remained above $1.30. BNB, Solana, TRX, and Cardano all recorded gains of less than 1%.

The biggest moves among larger altcoins came from a smaller group of assets. RAIN fell more than 6% and dropped below $0.0075. HBAR, PEPE, UNI, and SHIB also traded lower. In contrast, Ethereum Classic rose 3.5% to $8.30 and stood out from the broader market.

PI token steadies after recent drop

Pi Network’s PI token showed signs of stability after a recent downward move. The token traded above $0.17, marking a pause in the decline that had drawn attention across the altcoin market.

Elsewhere, HASH posted the sharpest daily loss among the mentioned tokens, falling 10% over the past 24 hours. VeChain moved in the opposite direction and gained 9% on the day, helping it return to the top 100 altcoins by market value.

Meanwhile, the total crypto market value changed little over the day and remained just below $2.4 trillion. That flat reading matched the quiet performance seen across Bitcoin and most major altcoins during the weekend session.

Market activity also stayed muted despite recent macro and geopolitical headlines that had raised expectations of stronger price swings earlier in the week.

Coinbase Urges Treasury to Clarify GENIUS Act Implementation

The post Coinbase Urges Treasury to Clarify GENIUS Act Implementation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase has called on the U.S. Treasury Department to provide clearer guidance on the implementation of the GENIUS Act, warning that excessive regulation could undermine innovation and weaken the country’s position as a global leader in digital finance. Source: Coinbase In an official statement, Coinbase’s Director of Policy, Faryar Shirzad, said that new rules should “ensure the competitiveness of U.S. stablecoins and create conditions for their global adoption as a payment instrument.” The exchange cautioned the Treasury against introducing restrictions not explicitly outlined in the law, urging policymakers to focus on innovation rather than limitation. Coinbase’s Recommendations for the GENIUS Framework In its response, Coinbase proposed several key adjustments to the regulatory framework. It suggested that non-financial software developers, blockchain validators, and open protocols be excluded from GENIUS compliance requirements. The company also argued that the ban on interest payments should apply only to stablecoin issuers, not to exchanges or intermediaries offering bonus programs or loyalty rewards. Coinbase emphasized that rewards from third parties should not be considered a violation, warning that a broad definition of “interest” could distort the intent of the legislation. The firm additionally proposed that payment stablecoins be treated as cash equivalents for accounting and tax purposes — a move it said would “reflect their real-world use as stable digital currencies.” The GENIUS Act and Its Impact Signed into law in July 2025, the GENIUS Act marked the first comprehensive federal regulation of the U.S. stablecoin market. The law requires that all stablecoins be fully backed by liquid assets, mandates annual audits for issuers, and sets rules for foreign-issued tokens operating in the U.S. market. Coinbase urged regulators to uphold Congress’s original intent, emphasizing that effective policy should allow innovation to grow within the framework of the law, not in defiance of it.
