PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.0759 vs. 7.0789 previous

PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.0759 vs. 7.0789 previous

The post PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.0759 vs. 7.0789 previous appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Monday, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) sets the USD/CNY central rate for the trading session ahead at 7.0759 compared to the Friday’s fix of 7.0789 and 7.0709 Reuters estimate. PBOC FAQs The primary monetary policy objectives of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) are to safeguard price stability, including exchange rate stability, and promote economic growth. China’s central bank also aims to implement financial reforms, such as opening and developing the financial market. The PBoC is owned by the state of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), so it is not considered an autonomous institution. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee Secretary, nominated by the Chairman of the State Council, has a key influence on the PBoC’s management and direction, not the governor. However, Mr. Pan Gongsheng currently holds both of these posts. Unlike the Western economies, the PBoC uses a broader set of monetary policy instruments to achieve its objectives. The primary tools include a seven-day Reverse Repo Rate (RRR), Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF), foreign exchange interventions and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR). However, The Loan Prime Rate (LPR) is China’s benchmark interest rate. Changes to the LPR directly influence the rates that need to be paid in the market for loans and mortgages and the interest paid on savings. By changing the LPR, China’s central bank can also influence the exchange rates of the Chinese Renminbi. Yes, China has 19 private banks – a small fraction of the financial system. The largest private banks are digital lenders WeBank and MYbank, which are backed by tech giants Tencent and Ant Group, per The Straits Times. In 2014, China allowed domestic lenders fully capitalized by private funds to operate in the state-dominated financial sector.

Shibarium Sets 2026 for Native FHE Integration as Zama Partnership Moves Forward

Shibarium Sets 2026 for Native FHE Integration as Zama Partnership Moves Forward

The post Shibarium Sets 2026 for Native FHE Integration as Zama Partnership Moves Forward appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium is stepping into an entirely new phase of its roadmap. The Shibtoken team has now confirmed that Zama’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) will be natively integrated into the Layer-2 network in 2026. The move positions Shibarium as one of the first EVM-compatible ecosystems to adopt full-stack, on-chain privacy at the protocol level. This is not a minor update. FHE is one of the most advanced forms of cryptography in development today. It enables computations to run directly on encrypted data without exposing the underlying information. No decryption. No leakage. No workarounds. Just end-to-end encrypted execution. If delivered as planned, Shibarium becomes a privacy-first chain built for institutions, DeFi builders, and high-security applications, without sacrificing EVM access. The confirmation was shared by @Shibtoken, with rollout and technical details reinforced by @CryptoMiners_Co. A Major Milestone: Shibarium Commits to Native FHE For months, the community speculated whether Shibarium would adopt deeper encryption standards or stick to traditional EVM privacy layers. Today, the team made it official: Zama’s FHE becomes part of Shibarium’s core infrastructure. With this upgrade, Shibarium gains capabilities that most blockchains still consider experimental. #Shibarium Confirms Native FHE Integration in 2026 The @Shibtoken team has officially confirmed that @zama’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) will be natively integrated into #Shibarium, delivering institutional grade on chain privacy. Key features of the upgrade:– Fully… pic.twitter.com/j6MJNEvHFX — Crypto Miners (@CryptoMiners_Co) November 30, 2025 Key features confirmed:  Fully encrypted transactions from end to end  Confidential smart contracts, shielding logic, inputs, and outputs  Private DeFi with hidden balances and algorithmic logic  Privacy-preserving governance, including confidential voting  Encrypted gaming mechanics, enabling advanced data-sensitive gameplay In simple terms: users, builders, and institutions can perform complex actions on-chain without revealing their data. This sets Shibarium apart from typical privacy layers that rely on mixers, sidechains, or zero-knowledge workarounds. FHE…

The Cheapest Crypto Under $0.1 That Could 20x Next Year, Only 5% Phase-6 Tokens Left

The Cheapest Crypto Under $0.1 That Could 20x Next Year, Only 5% Phase-6 Tokens Left

The post The Cheapest Crypto Under $0.1 That Could 20x Next Year, Only 5% Phase-6 Tokens Left appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Early investors are starting to take notice of a new cryptocurrency that comes with a price much lower than $0.1, and can be considered as growing its demand and nearing the last 5% of its initial stage. As a fast-rising DeFi token, this is becoming one of the most discussed early chances of 2025 as most traders seek the most suitable crypto to purchase before the current market cycle runs. Things are picking up and there is a feeling that this low-priced asset may not continue being a cheap asset quite long. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is developing a decentralized lending and borrowing solution, which will be used on the long-term scale. Rather than what is hype-based, the protocol is based on actual financial mechanics which can be scaled with adoption. The site operates on the basis of mtTokens which are deposits and increase in value as borrowers pay interests. As an illustration, a person providing $1,000 in ETH value gets mtTokens which continue to grow alongside heightening borrowing transactions. As mentioned by Mutuum Finance in its official X account, the V1 will be rolled out on the Sepolia Testnet in Q4 2025. The initial one comes with a functional liquidity pool, mtTokens, a debt-tracking token and a liquidation bot. The initial supported assets will be ETH and USDT. Security has been one of the key aspects of development. Halborn Security is undergoing the closing lending and borrowing agreements and this means that the protocol is being developed in a way that is trustworthy. MUTM is beginning to earn itself some credibility with real DeFi mechanics, future product announcements and expert auditing. Funding Strength and Increasing Price Momentum Mutuum Finance raised a good sum of $19M. This fundraising is the sign of great interest on a large scale,…

Tether CEO Counters S&P USDT Peg Downgrade with Asset Details as Analysts Weigh Risks

Tether CEO Counters S&P USDT Peg Downgrade with Asset Details as Analysts Weigh Risks

The post Tether CEO Counters S&P USDT Peg Downgrade with Asset Details as Analysts Weigh Risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino refuted S&P Global’s downgrade of the USDT stablecoin’s peg rating to “weak,” emphasizing that the agency overlooked $7 billion in excess equity, $23 billion in retained earnings, and $500 million in monthly profits from US Treasury yields, ensuring robust collateralization beyond reported reserves. Tether’s Q3 2025 assets reached $215 billion against $184.5 billion in stablecoin liabilities, per the company’s attestation report. Ardoino highlighted unconsidered group equity and consistent revenue streams ignored in the rating assessment. Market analysts like Arthur Hayes raised concerns over Tether’s exposure to gold and Bitcoin amid falling Treasury yields, estimating a 30% drop could impact solvency. Tether USDT downgrade sparks debate as CEO counters S&P’s weak peg rating, revealing overlooked assets and profits. Discover how this affects stablecoin stability and crypto markets today. What is behind the Tether USDT downgrade by S&P Global? The Tether USDT downgrade by S&P Global to a “weak” rating on its ability to maintain the dollar peg stems from concerns over the company’s reserves, particularly its holdings in Bitcoin and gold. This assessment, issued on a recent Wednesday, marks the lowest score on S&P’s scale and has stirred uncertainty in the cryptocurrency sector where USDT plays a pivotal role. Tether’s leadership, however, maintains that the evaluation failed to fully account for the firm’s comprehensive financial position. Source: Paolo Ardoino How does Tether’s balance sheet counter the downgrade concerns? Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino directly addressed the Tether USDT downgrade by pointing to the company’s Q3 2025 attestation report, which shows total assets of approximately $215 billion compared to $184.5 billion in stablecoin liabilities. This leaves about $7 billion in excess equity on top of the reserves, plus an additional $23 billion in retained earnings within the Tether Group’s equity structure. Ardoino stressed that S&P overlooked these elements, including…

Mystery Whale’s $60M AAVE Accumulation May Bolster Price Recovery Prospects

Mystery Whale’s $60M AAVE Accumulation May Bolster Price Recovery Prospects

The post Mystery Whale’s $60M AAVE Accumulation May Bolster Price Recovery Prospects appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A mystery whale has accumulated $59.93 million worth of AAVE tokens since October, including a recent $10.68 million purchase via Galaxy Digital OTC. This AAVE whale accumulation signals strong confidence in the protocol’s $125 million annualized revenue, despite unrealized losses, supporting recent price recovery in the DeFi sector. Whale’s Strategy: Bought 60,000 AAVE at an average of $218 per token, holding through volatility for long-term gains. AAVE’s Fundamentals: Generates $125 million in annualized revenue with minimal token incentives, bolstering sustainability. Market Impact: This accumulation coincides with AAVE’s price bounce, up 15% in the last week, per on-chain data from blockchain analytics firms like Nansen. Discover the AAVE whale accumulation driving DeFi confidence amid market recovery. Explore implications for investors in this detailed crypto news update. Stay informed on token strategies today. What is the Significance of the Recent AAVE Whale Accumulation? AAVE whale accumulation refers to large-scale purchases by institutional or high-net-worth investors, such as the recent acquisition of 60,000 AAVE tokens worth $10.68 million through Galaxy Digital’s over-the-counter desk. This move, part of a broader $59.93 million haul since October, underscores deep belief in AAVE’s DeFi protocol despite an average buy-in price of $218, resulting in $13.8 million in unrealized losses at current levels. Such activity often precedes market recoveries, as seen with AAVE’s recent 15% price uptick. How Does AAVE’s Revenue Model Support Whale Confidence? AAVE’s lending protocol produces $125 million in annualized revenue primarily from interest fees on loans, with nearly zero reliance on token incentives, according to data from DeFi analytics platform Dune Analytics. This self-sustaining model reduces sell pressure and enhances token value over time. Industry experts, including DeFi researcher Chris Blec, note that “protocols like AAVE with organic revenue streams are primed for long-term adoption in a maturing crypto ecosystem.” Short sentences highlight key…
