According to Cointelegraph: The US House of Representatives has voted in favor of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), aimed at clarifying the rules of securities and commodities regulators in overseeing cryptocurrencies. The next step for the bill is a potentially challenging path through the US Senate, where it has neither a companion bill nor a set timeline for action.
The FIT21 bill, which saw 71 Democrats and 208 Republicans vote in favor, could face robust opposition in the Senate, considering the presence of prominent crypto critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren. Post the Senate Review, if approved, the bill would proceed to President Biden's desk. The President on May 22 expressed his administration's disapproval of the bill, though it didn't specify his vetoing intention.
While Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong, celebrated this development as a "total victory", crypto-focused lawyer Gabriel Shapiro countered by arguing that the FIT21 could still grant the SEC "considerable power". The bill, if passed, will primarily place the control of cryptocurrencies under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), viewed as a more lax regulator than the SEC.

Circle becomes Chelsea's principal and front-of-shirt partner for 2026/27, putting USDC branding on the men's, women's and academy kits.
helsea Football Club has named Circle Internet Group as its principal and official front-of-shirt partner for the 2026/27 season, putting USDC on the club's kits as the stablecoin company seeks a larger mainstream audience.
The deal announced by Chelsea covers the men's, women's and academy shirts. Circle and USDC branding is scheduled to appear for the first time on Aug. 30, when Chelsea's men's team plays its first Premier League home game of the season against Brighton.
USDC is far more prominent in sponsorship placement than Circle itself. The partnership announcement frames the Chelsea shirt as a way to place that product name before the club's international football audience.
The agreement gives Circle the club's “principal partner designation” and the central sponsor position on three sets of Chelsea shirts, covering the senior men's and women's teams as well as academy shirts for the 2026/27 season.
For Circle, the obvious value is brand exposure. The company is placing both its corporate name and the USDC label on the most prominent sponsor space on Chelsea's shirts, connecting a financial technology company and its stablecoin with a sports audience that may not encounter either through crypto trading or blockchain applications.
Further, Chelsea have been without a shirt sponsor for some time and have played extended periods as the only team in the Premier League without a main sponsor on the front of their kits. As a result, there's some additional brand awareness from rival fans who are paying attention to the sponsorship saga at Stamford Bridge.
Notably, the announcement does not include a Chelsea payment product, nor does it say supporters will use USDC to buy tickets, merchandise or services. The partnership could expand over time, but the initial arrangement described by both parties is a sponsorship built around brand placement.
That wording matters because the shirt gives USDC broad public visibility without turning the sponsorship itself into an offer of a crypto product. It separates the marketing message, which presents USDC as digital money for a global audience, from any claim that Chelsea is distributing the stablecoin or offering financial services.

Stablecoins threaten to pull cheap deposits off bank balance sheets, putting pressure on the funding banks use to support lending.
anks defend themselves against stablecoins by saying they are building tokenized deposits to modernize payments, with programmable money and around-the-clock settlement.
Tolkachev said that, to whoever is holding them, a tokenized deposit, a reserve-backed stablecoin, and an overcollateralized synthetic dollar look identical.
In the case of a tokenized deposit, the $100 million sits on one bank's balance sheet. The bank earns the return by lending it out, and the holder carries that bank's credit risk, though the position still counts as an insured deposit.
In a reserve-backed stablecoin, the money moves into the issuer's reserves, and the issuer earns the yield on those reserves. The holder carries the issuer's operational and reserve risk with no claim on the upside, since the GENIUS Act bars issuers from paying that yield to holders. No deposit insurance sits behind the position.
In an overcollateralized synthetic dollar, the token is backed by more collateral than its face value, held apart from the issuer. The return depends on how that collateral is managed, and the holder's protection comes from the size of the overcollateralization and the separation between custody and the issuer itself.
The Dallas Fed said in July that a deposit token stays a commercial-bank deposit, remains on the issuing bank's balance sheet, settles at par, and sits inside the same supervisory framework as any other deposit.
Tolkachev also argued that, if stablecoins pull deposits away from banks, the first effect is higher funding costs, and it shows up before anyone notices deposits leaving. A bank that loses cheap, sticky deposit funding has to replace it with pricier wholesale money to keep lending at the same level, compressing margins before lending itself gets cut back.
Wells Fargo announced plans in early August to launch tokenized deposits for corporate and commercial clients this fall, starting with USD-to-GBP transactions before expanding further in 2027.
The bear case has even a modest 1% to 3% move out of US commercial-bank deposits, worth roughly $195 billion to $586 billion against the current $19.5 trillion deposit base. That capital moves into stablecoins faster than tokenized deposits can hold the line.
Under that path, funding costs rise first, margins compress, and loan repricing follows. The market is starting to treat stablecoins as a genuine threat to the liability side of bank balance sheets, well beyond their current reputation as a payments product alone.
Banks are building tokenized deposits because stablecoins proved what a programmable dollar can do for customers. The fight now underway is over which side of the transaction gets to keep the money while it waits.

Adecoagro visited the Uruguay operation months before launching a smaller renewable-powered pilot with the stablecoin issuer.
ether’s abandoned Bitcoin mining venture in Uruguay, where a former contractor estimated spending reached about $120 million across two sites, is casting a shadow over the stablecoin issuer’s smaller renewable-energy pilot in Brazil
The Uruguay project unraveled after Tether’s local entity, Microfin, and state utility UTE disagreed over the terms governing electricity use, Reuters reported. Microfin understood its contracted allocation as a minimum that could be expanded, while UTE treated it as a maximum.
The dispute was underway by late 2024. Microfin stopped paying power bills in May 2025, notified UTE the following month that it planned to terminate the contracts, and later failed to complete revised terms. UTE disconnected the sites on July 25.
By November, Tether, the USDT issuer, had notified labor authorities that it would cease operations and lay off most staff. Microfin settled the outstanding UTE debt in December.
A former contractor estimated Tether spent roughly $60 million at each of the two sites in Uruguay’s Florida department. The approximately $120 million figure is an estimate of spending, not a confirmed loss disclosed by Tether.
The experience is directly relevant to Tether’s next South American project, which is tied to Adecoagro, a leading producer of sustainable agricultural goods and energy in South America.
Adecoagro representatives visited Tether’s Uruguay mining facility in February 2025 while the agricultural producer and Tether explored using renewable power for cryptocurrency mining. Five months later, the companies announced a memorandum of understanding for a 230 MW pilot in Brazil.
The more than 230 MW cited in the companies’ announcement refers to Adecoagro’s broader renewable generation capacity across South America, not power committed to Bitcoin mining
The disclosures do not show that Tether redesigned the Brazil project because of what happened in Uruguay, nor do they establish that the new venture faces similar problems.
However, they make Brazil the next test of Tether’s regional mining strategy after Uruguay showed that renewable-energy availability alone does not guarantee a workable mining operation. Clear power terms, dependable capacity and sustainable economics proved just as important.

The $573 million Morgan Stanley facility matures in December 2026, while the first 96 MW is not due online until December 2027.
iot Platforms has secured up to $573 million of interim financing for the $9.1 billion data-center lease tied to Anthropic, but the facility matures about a year before the Bitcoin miner expects the project to start generating rent.
Earlier this month, Riot disclosed that it had secured a 20-year lease for 191 megawatts of critical IT capacity at its Rockdale, Texas, campus, describing the tenant only as a “leading frontier AI lab.”
The first 96 MW is scheduled for delivery in December 2027, with the remaining 95 MW expected by June 2028. Riot estimates the initial lease will generate about $9.1 billion through June 2048, with two five-year extensions potentially lifting the total contract value to $16.1 billion.
Notably, a Riot subsidiary entered into a senior secured delayed-draw facility administered by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, providing access to up to $573 million for long-lead equipment and other initial development costs.
Riot has described the facility as interim financing while it finalizes an investment-grade credit backstop. The company has not disclosed the backstop provider, committed amount, or binding terms, leaving the financing handoff as a key execution point before the bridge matures.
Meanwhile, the broader capital requirement for the AI infrastructure is substantially larger. Riot estimates the Rockdale project will cost between $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion and expects debt financing to cover roughly $1.7 billion to $2.1 billion under an assumed 80% to 90% loan-to-cost structure.
Borrowings under the Morgan Stanley facility carry adjusted term SOFR plus 2.75%, or a defined base rate plus 1.75%, alongside other customary fees. The debt is secured primarily by assets of the project borrower and specified credit parties, with generally no recourse to Riot Platforms itself.
The disclosed collateral does not identify Bitcoin. Data from BitcoinTreasuries.net shows that the miner currently holds around 11,380 BTC, making it one of the largest public holders of the top crypto.

$DUSK @Dusk DUSK Network is one of the more interesting blockchain projects focused on a specific problem: bringing regulated financial assets on-chain without sacrificing privacy. Instead of competing mainly for meme-coin attention or general-purpose DeFi activity, DUSK is positioning itself around tokenized securities, institutional finance, confidential transactions and compliant settlement.
What makes DUSK different?
The core idea behind DUSK is to combine privacy, compliance and blockchain settlement. Its mainnet supports regulated asset settlement, native issuance of digital securities such as equity and debt, identity/access controls, shareholder registries and on-chain voting. The network uses zero-knowledge technology to allow information to remain confidential while still supporting regulatory requirements.
This is important because traditional financial institutions generally cannot put sensitive information completely on a transparent public blockchain. DUSK's approach is designed to provide a middle ground: blockchain efficiency and transparency where appropriate, while keeping confidential information protected.
Major developments
One of the biggest milestones was the DUSK Mainnet launch. The network moved from years of development into a production environment in early 2025, creating the foundation for its regulated on-chain financial infrastructure.
Another important development has been DUSK's move toward a modular architecture. The project has described a three-layer structure consisting of DuskDS for consensus, data availability and settlement, DuskEVM for EVM-compatible execution, and a planned privacy-focused DuskVM layer. This could make it easier for Ethereum developers and existing applications to enter the DUSK ecosystem while retaining its privacy and compliance advantages.
DUSK has also continued developing its infrastructure around tokenized real-world assets and institutional finance. Its ecosystem is aimed at issuers, trading venues, custodians, financial institutions and developers rather than purely speculative crypto users.
Roadmap and future potential
The longer-term roadmap is centered on making DUSK a serious infrastructure layer for regulated on-chain finance. Key areas include expanding developer tooling, improving EVM compatibility, strengthening privacy functionality, supporting tokenized markets and making institutional integrations easier.
DUSK's earlier roadmap also highlighted technologies such as Dusk Pay, Lightspeed, Hyperstaking and Zedger, with Zedger specifically aimed at asset tokenization.
The project's more recent direction suggests that the focus is shifting from simply getting a blockchain live toward building a complete financial-market infrastructure around it. That is potentially significant because the real value of the network will ultimately depend on whether actual financial assets and users are brought onto the chain.
DUSK token fundamentals
DUSK is the native token of the network and is used for gas fees and staking. The current token model has an initial 500 million DUSK supply, with another 500 million potentially emitted over time, giving a maximum supply of 1 billion. Emissions are designed to decline over a 36-year period, with reductions every four years.
The fact that DUSK has genuine utility for network transactions and staking gives the token a stronger fundamental connection to the underlying blockchain than a token whose value depends primarily on speculation.
Overall view
Fundamentally, DUSK is an ambitious project with a clear niche. Its strongest argument is not simply "privacy"; it is the combination of privacy + compliance + tokenization + deterministic settlement for financial markets.
The biggest opportunity is the continued growth of real-world asset tokenization and institutional blockchain adoption. If DUSK can attract meaningful financial institutions, issuers and developers, demand for the network and its native DUSK token could grow alongside ecosystem activity.
However, investors should also recognize the risks. Institutional adoption is difficult, competition in the RWA sector is increasing, and a strong technology stack does not automatically guarantee widespread usage. DUSK therefore remains a high-risk/high-potential crypto project, where execution and real-world adoption will be more important than hype.
Fundamental takeaway: DUSK has a well-defined use case, a live mainnet, meaningful technical development and a roadmap aimed at regulated financial markets. Its long-term success will depend largely on turning this technology into real transaction volume, tokenized assets and institutional adoption.#dusk #FIT21 #Fatihcoşar #FactCheck #Floki🔥🔥

July output was worth roughly $1.16 million at Aug. 21 spot prices before unsettled hosting costs, as interest begins on $16 million of seller notes.
lenox Industries is an energy company that acquired Bitcoin miner CS Digital Ventures in May. It reported preliminary July production of 15.13 BTC against a June 30 balance sheet. The balance sheet carried $1.21 million of cash and $26.26 million of current liabilities.
However, the output had a gross value of about $1.16 million at the Aug. 21 Bitcoin spot price of $76,371.25. It was not equivalent to disclosed revenue, sale proceeds or available cash. For part of the fleet, Olenox received the full Bitcoin output. It still owed a hosting invoice for power, management fees and profit share that had not been finalized.
Operationally, Olenox recorded 1.02 EH/s of average operational hashrate, equal to 64% of the fleet’s economic capacity. The company cited summer heat, low-power-mode operation and normal equipment availability. All three operating figures were preliminary and unaudited.
Meanwhile, the Aug. 19 quarterly filing put the production number in sharper relief. Olenox had $3.40 million of total current assets at June 30, leaving a working-capital deficit of about $22.9 million.
Importantly, its current liabilities were not all debt immediately due. They included $14.55 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses. Other items included lease current maturities, amounts due to affiliates, credit lines, derivative liabilities, convertible notes, short-term notes and current maturities of long-term debt.
Olenox nevertheless said its losses, negative working capital and negative operating cash flows raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. It had no committed sources of additional financing at June 30. The company said it might have to delay or curtail planned activities if it could not obtain capital when needed.
CS Digital generated $1.45 million of revenue and a $564,104 net loss from the May 26 acquisition through June 30. That period covers just over a month. The final July hosting bill remains the missing bridge between headline production and cash generation.
By contrast, July’s miners ran at third-party Texas facilities using grid power. Olenox’s plan is to convert its own natural gas into off-grid compute at a targeted cost below $0.02 per kilowatt-hour. That plan was not part of the month’s results.
Finally, Olenox also announced an Aug. 19 non-binding acquisition letter of intent. It carried an approximately $20 million stated price, primarily in preferred stock plus common stock and cash. The proposal extends its expansion ambitions. Even so, the immediate funding test rests on disclosed mining margins, seller-note payments and access to capital.
