What to know:
- PwC is increasing its focus on crypto clients due to clearer U.S. regulations, including the GENIUS Act.
- The firm plans to expand its involvement in stablecoin and tokenization as part of its growth strategy.
- PwC aims to enhance its audit and consulting services by exploring the use of stablecoins to improve payment efficiency.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of the big four accounting firms, is moving to deepen its engagement with crypto clients, citing a shift in U.S. regulation that is making the sector easier to serve at scale, the Financial Times reported.
Paul Griggs, PwC's U.S. senior partner and CEO, said the firm plans to "lean in" to crypto-related work as stablecoin legislation and more constructive rule-making provide a clearer framework for institutions to adopt digital assets.

Griggs pointed to the passage of the GENIUS Act, describing stablecoin regulation as a key catalyst for the firm's next phase of expansion.
"The GENIUS Act and the regulatory rule making around stablecoin, I expect, will create more conviction around leaning into that product and that asset class," Griggs told the FT. He added that tokenization is also likely to keep expanding and that PwC "has to be in that ecosystem."
The move marks a sharper stance from one of the Big Four firms after years of keeping crypto at arm's length, largely due to regulatory uncertainty and high-profile enforcement actions that made it difficult for service providers to assess risk and build repeatable compliance processes.
The sector has been reshaped since President Donald Trump's reelection and the subsequent shift toward a more crypto-friendly tone by U.S. regulators, which has improved the outlook for stablecoins, tokenization and the broader infrastructure stack.
PwC plans to be "hyper engaged" across both audit and consulting lines, according to the report.
The firm has been pitching clients on how stablecoins could be used to improve payment system efficiency. This theme has become increasingly common as banks and fintech firms explore programmable settlement and faster cross-border transfers.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market
Commissioned byKuCoin
KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release
The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
