PANews reported on March 18th, citing CoinDesk, that Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott stated that behind-the-scenes negotiations for the stalled crypto market structure bill are making progress. Speaking at the DC Blockchain Summit, Scott said lawmakers could see a new draft of at least the stablecoin provisions as early as this week. He noted that stablecoin yields have been the most publicly debated issue in the bill, but lawmakers continue to engage in discussions.

Scott expressed confidence that the first proposal would be received this week and praised Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Republican Senator Thom Tillis, and White House official Patrick Witt for their efforts on the yield issue. Other outstanding issues have also been under negotiation over the past month, including lawmakers' concerns about President Trump and his family's crypto projects, the lack of bipartisan committee members at key regulatory bodies, and KYC regulations. Scott stated that ethical concerns and committee quorum issues are nearing resolution, and progress is also being made on DeFi and anti-money laundering issues.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
