Officials set to revise MiCA to cover non-EU stablecoin issuers: Report

European Union officials are reportedly planning to revise the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework amid the implementation of a US law on stablecoins.　　According to a Wednesday report from Euronews, EU officials planned to revisit proposed changes to MiCA to broaden the frameworks scope, specifically regarding non-EU companies issuing stablecoins.　　The revised rules, which authorities will reportedly consider in 2027, were in response to the US governments Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, or GENIUS, Act, putting pressure on EU officials to clarify how US stablecoin issuers could be regulated in member states. Officials will also reportedly consider expanding MiCA to include rules on tokenized payments and deposits.　　Under MiCA, crypto companies offering services to EU-based users across 27 member states must now be licensed as Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) by a regulator in one of the member states. Although the licensing requirement took effect on July 1, European Commission officials had already opened a comment period for potentially revising the framework, including provisions on decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoins.　　Related: Stablecoin-settled TradFi perpetual trading tops $1.1T: Binance Research　　The proposed framework, which some have dubbed “MiCA 2.0,” will remain open for comments until Aug. 31.

Kraken leads MiCA exchanges as EU crypto rules bite

Kraken leads MiCA-regulated crypto exchanges in liquidity, according to DefiLlamas MiCA exchange dashboard. The data cited by Wu Blockchain showed Kraken with $399.71 million in spot liquidity and $206.90 million in perpetual liquidity, placing it first in both categories.　　DefiLlamas live MiCA-regulated exchanges dashboard later showed Kraken still ahead, with more than $400 million in spot liquidity and more than $220 million in perpetual liquidity. The live figures may change because liquidity data moves with market depth, prices and exchange activity.　　Coinbase ranked second in the figures cited by Wu Blockchain, with $305.23 million in spot liquidity and $167.39 million in perpetual liquidity. DefiLlamas live page still placed Coinbase among the top regulated venues, but behind Kraken in the main liquidity table.　　The gap matters for traders who need deeper order books. Higher liquidity can help reduce slippage when users place larger orders. It can also make an exchange more useful for active traders, market makers and institutional clients.　　Coinbase and Crypto.com remain close rivals　　Coinbase remains Krakens closest large rival among MiCA-regulated exchanges.

Strike launches ‘volatility-proof’ Bitcoin loans amid bear market, but at a cost

Bitcoin financial services platform Strike has launched a “volatility-proof” Bitcoin-backed loan that eliminates margin calls and forced liquidations amid the depths of a bear market, but only for those who can pay on time and handle a 14% interest rate.　　In an announcement on Tuesday, Strike CEO Jack Mallers said the offering came in response to broad customer feedback on Strikes first Bitcoin loan product, which launched in May 2025 and triggered many liquidations during a timeframe in which Bitcoin (BTC) dropped 54% from peak to trough.　　“No margin calls. No price liquidations. No matter how far bitcoin falls, your bitcoin doesnt move,” Strike CEO Jack Mallers said of the new Bitcoin loan product. The trade-off is an expensive interest rate, a shorter six-month loan term, and an obligation to pay on time to avoid liquidation, Mallers said.　　Strikes Jack Mallers is presenting the new Bitcoin-backed loan product. Source: Jack Mallers　　The Bitcoin industry has spent the better part of a decade racing to build financial products that expand Bitcoins use case beyond a savings technology.

Nigel Farage to resign from UK Parliament amid crypto “gift” scandal, will stand in by-election

Nigel Farage, the leader of the UKs Reform party, announced that he would resign as a member of Parliament and stand in the by-election that could replace him.　　On Tuesday, Farage announced that he would resign as MP representing Clacton in response to what he called “foul means” by established politicians. The UK lawmaker‘s resignation followed reports that he had personally received millions of dollars’ worth of donations and gifts from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne and George Cottrell, a convicted fraudster linked to a crypto casino.　　“Let me be absolutely clear: I have done nothing wrong,” said Farage in an X livestream. “I have not broken the law in any way at all. I have not misused public money.”Source: Nigel Farage　　Farage already had ties to the crypto industry before reports of the scandal. He spoke at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas and is an investor in London-listed Bitcoin (BTC) treasury company Stack. When reports began circulating in May that the Reform leader had received a $6.7 million gift from Harborne, he initially called it a “reward” for campaigning for Brexit, the 2016 referendum that led to the UKs exit from the European Union.　　Related: Crypto billionaires bankroll Nigel Farages pro-crypto party　　The

USDT wins payments, USDC wins DeFi as stablecoins diverge: Dune

The world‘s biggest stablecoins are increasingly becoming chain-specific financial products, with Tether’s USDt (USDT) and Circles USDC (USDC) serving distinct roles across the crypto ecosystem rather than competing head-on.　　Dune‘s Digital Asset Brief found that USDT overwhelmingly dominates onchain payments. During the first half of 2026, the biggest stablecoin settled about $95 billion in identified commerce payments, compared with $14 billion for second-biggest USDC. It also accounted for roughly 92% of the $48 billion in business-to-business payment volume. On Tron, USDT’s largest network, around 93% of the tokens supply is held in ordinary wallets rather than on exchanges, underscoring its role as a payment and remittance asset.　　USDC, meanwhile, has established itself as the dominant stablecoin in decentralized finance. USDC on Base processed roughly $2.6 trillion in transfer volume in June, the highest of any token-chain pair, while on Ethereum, that stablecoin handled another $1.6 trillion.　　USDC on Base recorded daily velocity of about 20 times its circulating supply in June, reflecting its extensive use in trading and DeFi. Source: Dune　　The findings suggest the traditional USDT-versus-USDC narrative is becoming less useful. Instead, each stablecoin is carving out its own niche, with USDT dominating payments and USDC underpinning much of cryptos trading and DeFi
