  • Ethereum stablecoin volume hits record $908 billion as institutions, tech giants, and Trump jump in Ethereum filtered onchain volume of stablecoins reached a new all-time high in April, hitting $908 billion. This milestone comes amid growing institutional adoption and several high-profile developments that have thrust stablecoins into the spotlight once more. USDC has shown particularly strong growth on Ethereum, with volume trending upward over the past six months and exceeding $500 billion in transactions. Other stablecoins gaining significant volume include DAI and Sky's USDS, reflecting a diversifying stablecoin landscape. Traditional companies continue to embrace stablecoins at an accelerating pace. During the week of May 4, Meta announced plans to explore stablecoin integrations to reduce transaction costs, while Stripe unveiled new stablecoin offerings to enhance its payment infrastructure. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial project has seen its stablecoin, USD1, mint nearly $2 billion worth of tokens. This rapid growth has positioned USD1 as the seventh-largest stablecoin by market capitalization despite its relative newness. Fortune 100 companies are increasingly exploring stablecoins for cross-border payments and other product offerings, lending additional legitimacy to the sector. As more companies aim to issue their own stablecoins or adopt existing ones, competition for volume is likely to intensify. This competitive landscape could lead to decreased fees as issuers vie for market share, potentially benefiting end users while challenging profitability for stablecoin providers. The surge in stablecoin activity on Ethereum underscores the network's continued dominance as the preferred blockchain for dollar-denominated digital assets, despite challenges from alternative chains and Layer 2 solutions. While other chains have seen stablecoin usage grow, Ethereum remains the preferred venue for transacting stables. This is an excerpt from The Block's Data & Insights newsletter. Dig into the numbers making up the industry's most thought-provoking trends.
  • MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay says token is still a 'maybe' MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay said the most popular Ethereum wallet is still considering a token launch. “Maybe,” Finlay said with a smirk when asked about the possibility of creating a native MetaMask token in an interview (about 42:00 minutes in) on The Block’s “Crypto Beat” podcast. “If we ever do it, it'll be advertised directly in the wallet. You'll be able to find a link directly in the wallet,” Finlay told the head of growth (HOG) at The Block, Tim Copeland, on Wednesday. While there doesn’t appear to be any concrete plans for a MetaMask token, Finlay noted that the changing regulatory regime, under a more permissive Trump administration, “there is safety for far more kinds of token launches.” “Hopefully people take this opportunity to push the boundaries and establish precedence for things that we can all be doing,” Finlay added. “Maybe that will unlock the next fun season.” MetaMask discussed plans to launch a token, tentatively named MASK, going back to at least 2021. During a developer community call, for instance, MetaMask engineer Erik Marks floated the idea of community ownership of the wallet through a token launch, which was bolstered by ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin tweeting a “Wen $MASK?” teaser later that year. In 2022, Lubin further explained MetaMask’s intent to launch a token and DAO as part of a plan to drive “progressive decentralization” of Consensys verticals. The DAO was described as a funding mechanism, not a governance body, and the token was explicitly not intended as a “cash grab,” including measures to prevent exploitation by airdrop farmers. “My understanding is that securities law is still securities law,” Finlay said, referring to the idea promulgated by former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler that most token launches resembled securities offerings. He added that many projects could still be operating in “gray waters” despite recent regulatory advancements. Finlay, like many responsible crypto brands, appears to be particularly concerned about the possibility of scammers scamming a potential MASK token. “Speculation is almost the worst part of it because it gives fishers an opportunity to prey on users,” Finlay said. “You will not have to find some account on social media that you've never heard of giving you a link. It won't be a text message. We don't have your phone number. It won't be an email. We don't have your email address. It will be in the wallet. It'll be on our main website.” MetaMask is the largest crypto wallet, with an estimated 30 million monthly active users as of 2024. The project, under the umbrella of the Ethereum development company Consensys, employs approximately 500 workers, according to Finlay. Over the past year, MetaMask has been rolling out several UX improvements in an attempt to keep up with increasing competition from the likes of Rainbow and Rabby, Finlay said. “We’re competing in a permissionless space,” he said, noting the team realized “there would be very rapid, hot competition.”
  • CFTC Commissioner Mersinger exits to lead Blockchain Association as CEO Commodity Futures Trading Commission member Summer Mersinger is stepping down to become CEO of the Blockchain Association, the crypto industry’s primary lobbying group in Washington. The Blockchain Association announced Wednesday that she will become CEO on June 2, with her last day at the CFTC being May 30. Mersinger is expected to resign from the CFTC on Wednesday. “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Commissioner Mersinger as Blockchain Association’s new CEO,” said Marta Belcher, president of the board of the Blockchain Association, in a statement. “This is a pivotal moment for crypto policy, and we are confident that she is the ideal leader to take Blockchain Association, and the industry, to new heights.” Mersinger was nominated by former President Joe Biden to fill a Republican seat at the CFTC and was sworn in in March 2022. During her time at the agency, Mersinger spoke about cryptocurrency's popularity and said it was no longer a fad following interest from traditional finance. She also encouraged the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission to work together in 2023 to create a regulatory framework for digital assets. Democratic CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero previously said she planned to step down after Trump-pick Brian Quintenz is confirmed to lead the agency. Following his confirmation and both commissioners' departures, that leaves now acting CFTC Republican Chair Caroline Pham and Democratic Commissioner Kristin Johnson at the CFTC. Mersinger's incoming leadership at the Blockchain Association comes as lawmakers in Washington are working to pass bills to regulate stablecoins and another to regulate the crypto industry at large. Both have hit snags along the way as criticism mounts over Trump's involvement in digital assets through companies, his memecoin, and pricey galas. Before going to the CFTC, Mersinger held senior roles in both the Senate and the House and was also an advisor to current Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the Blockchain Association said. Thune sharply criticized Democrats on Tuesday for stalling a stablecoin bill last week. Blockchain Association CEO Kristin Smith will leave the group on May 19 to become president of the newly created Solana Policy Institute.
  • SEC seeks feedback for in-kind redemptions on BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, delays Solana and Dogecoin proposals The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has pushed back its deadline for whether to allow in-kind redemptions for BlackRock's bitcoin exchange-traded fund. The SEC is now asking for public comments on that proposal, according to a filing made on Tuesday. Nasdaq posted an amended rule filing in January that would allow for redemptions and creations in kind for the iShares Bitcoin Trust. "The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act9 to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. Institution of proceedings is appropriate at this time in view of the legal and policy issues raised by the proposed rule change," the agency said on Tuesday. The SEC allowed BlackRock's bitcoin ETF, along with others, to begin trading in January 2024. Ahead of that approval, firms were hashing out technical details over how the redemption process would work for such a product. The SEC favored a cash model that required BlackRock to move bitcoin out of storage, sell it right away, and then give the cash back to the investor. If approved, ETFs could trade more efficiently, Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart said earlier this year in a post on X. The SEC is also weighing dozens of proposals for new crypto ETFs. On Tuesday, the agency also delayed proposals for the Grayscale Litecoin Trust and the Grayscale Solana Trust, and asked for public comments. The agency also asked for public comments for the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF on Tuesday. The agency is likely to take an overall friendlier approach to crypto ETFs than in the prior administration. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, the SEC has dropped several lawsuits against crypto firms and has held public crypto roundtables to discuss how to regulate the industry. New SEC Chair Paul Atkins unveiled his vision for crypto regulation on Monday at a crypto roundtable, while criticizing the agency's previous approach.
  • Paris police hunt armed suspects after attempted kidnapping of crypto entrepreneur's daughter, grandchild Police in Paris are searching for a group of armed men who allegedly attempted to kidnap a cryptocurrency entrepreneur’s 34-year-old daughter and her two-year-old child on Tuesday, according to local media reports. The attempted kidnapping happened in broad daylight and appears to have been caught on camera. A video taken from a nearby security camera shows three masked men attempting to apprehend the victims at around 8:20 a.m. local time on the Rue Pache in the 11th arrondissement. The woman’s husband was able to scare away the assailants, who abandoned their vehicle a few streets away. Police told the French-language publication Le Parisien that the woman is the daughter of a crypto CEO. The move comes amid a rising trend of so-called "wrench attacks," a physical threat aimed at coercing someone into revealing their private keys or transferring their crypto assets. A GitHub repository maintained by Jameson Lopp, an OG Bitcoiner and founder of security firm Casa, shows dozens of physical attacks on crypto holders or their friends and family worldwide. According to Lopp, there have been nearly 25 attacks so far this year, compared to just over 30 last year. That said, many such attacks often go unreported. There have now been at least five wrench attacks in France alone this year, including the high-profile kidnapping of Ledger co-founder David Balland and his partner. According to reports, the couple were tortured and held for a multi-million dollar ransom. One of Balland’s fingers was cut off. Notably, popular streamer Amouranth was a victim of an armed home invasion in Houston, Texas, after she posted screenshots of her $20 million BTC fortune. She was able to successfully defend herself by shooting the attacker.
  • Metaplanet's new 1,241 BTC purchase pushes holdings past El Salvador Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has purchased another $126.7 million worth of bitcoin, with its total holdings overtaking El Salvador's. Metaplanet, often dubbed Asia's Strategy for its continued bitcoin accumulation, announced Monday that it has purchased 1,241 BTC for roughly $126.7 million at an average price of $102,119 per bitcoin. The Tokyo-listed firm now holds 6,796 BTC, acquired for $608.2 million at an average price of $89,492, according to CEO Simon Gerovich's post on X. Based on current market prices, the company's total bitcoin holdings are worth about $706.7 million. "Metaplanet now holds more Bitcoin than El Salvador," said Gerovich in a separate post. "From humble beginnings to rivaling nation-states, we're just getting started." El Salvador, the Central American nation that embraced bitcoin in 2021, currently holds 6,174 BTC, according to its Bitcoin Office. Metaplanet began accumulating bitcoin in April 2024 as part of its crypto strategy and has steadily increased its holdings since. The company aims to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and crossed the halfway mark last month. The company has financed its bitcoin acquisitions through a series of bond issuances. On Friday, it announced a new $21.25 million bond sale, marking its 14th issuance of ordinary bonds to date. Metaplanet remains the largest publicly listed corporate holder of bitcoin in Asia and ranks 11th worldwide, according to data from Bitcointreasuries.net. Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, remains on top of the global rankings with 555,450 BTC. Meanwhile, Metaplanet shares rose 3.82% in Monday trading in Japan, with markets still open.
  • Two Floridian 16-year-olds face 22 felony counts after $4 million crypto kidnapping, theft Two teenagers face a combined 22 felony charges after allegedly abducting a man in Las Vegas in November, driving him an hour to a "remote desert," and stealing $4 million worth of cryptocurrency and NFTs from him. A third teenager, who also faces charges, is no longer believed to be in the United States, according to a prosecutor. The case was first reported by Las Vegas local news 8newsnow. Two 16-year-olds, both from Pasco County, Florida, are being tried as adults in the case and face 11 felony charges each. The three teens allegedly kidnapped a man at gunpoint after the man had hosted a crypto-related business event in Downtown Las Vegas, drove him an hour across the Arizona border to a "remote desert," and demanded he turn over his passwords to his financial accounts. The teenagers may have been helped by a person on speakerphone, the report said. The victim reportedly had to walk five miles alone in the desert until reaching a gas station and calling a friend to pick him up. One of the teens retained a high-profile defense attorney, Ross C. Goodman, Las Vegas court records show, while the other enlisted a public defender. Goodman's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Uptick in violent crypto-related crime The incident is the latest in an apparent uptick in violent crime targeting the crypto-wealthy. In January, criminals kidnapped the co-founder of Ledger from his home in France and mutilated his hand while attempting to ransom him for a large sum of cryptocurrency. Last weekend, also in France, kidnappers demanded €5 million for the release of a crypto millionaire's father, before being apprehended and arrested by police. Sometimes faulty information leads to threats, as well. A Canadian man was reportedly forced into hiding after criminals targeted him for a kidnapping attempt, believing he possessed billions of dollars worth of bitcoin. He said his holdings valued only around $100,000. Twitch streamer Amouranth said she defended herself from a home invasion in March after intruders demanded access to her crypto. Other alleged attacks have occurred in recent weeks in the Philippines and Pakistan
  • Ethereum jumps over 20% following Pectra upgrade, Wellgistics unveils $50 million XRP integration and treasury reserve plan, and more The following article is adapted from The Block’s newsletter, The Daily, which comes out on weekday afternoons. It's Friday! Crypto's latest price surge has wiped out at least $1 billion in shorts over the past 24 hours, with momentum building again as bitcoin climbs back toward all-time highs. In today's newsletter, Ethereum jumps 20% following its Pectra upgrade, Wellgistics unveils a $50 million XRP integration and treasury reserve plan, SEC Commissioner Crenshaw blasts the agency's settlement agreement with Ripple, and more. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats demand answers on President Trump's crypto ties and Binance dealings. Let's get started. Ethereum jumps over 20% following Pectra upgrade Ethereum soared over 20% on Thursday following the network's Pectra upgrade earlier in the week — marking its biggest single-day gain since May 2021. "ETH is finally catching up after lagging behind BTC for most of the year," Presto Research Analyst Min Jung said. "The recent Pectra upgrade has helped restore some confidence, and with ETH/BTC down nearly 40% year-to-date at 0.02, it's not surprising to see buyers stepping in at these levels." Pectra is Ethereum's biggest upgrade since The Merge in 2022, introducing improvements to staking efficiency, validator operations, and Layer 2 scalability. LVRG Research Director Nick Ruck told The Block that the upgrade triggered a bullish reaction, driving gains in altcoins. "In addition to positive macroeconomic news, traders believe the crypto industry may have finally found its second wind as a hedge against market uncertainty," Ruck said. "Investors are changing their perspectives on crypto now that altcoins have departed from a negative trend and found buying pressure from a renewed risk-on sentiment," he added. The broader crypto market rallied alongside Ethereum, supported by renewed U.S.-China trade negotiations, as bitcoin retook the $100,000 level. Wellgistics to adopt XRP for payments and treasury reserve with $50 million credit facility Pharmaceutical distribution company Wellgistics plans to use XRP as a real-time payment rail and treasury management asset, aiming to cut costs and settlement times across the healthcare supply chain.Wellgistics plans to use XRP as a real-time payment rail and treasury management asset, aiming to cut costs and settlement times across the healthcare supply chain. The Florida-based firm has secured a $50 million equity credit line to fund its XRP plan and explore programmable liquidity models. The company said XRP's sub-penny fees and 3 to 5 second transaction speeds can outperform standard wire transfers that typically take up to three days to complete and cost between $10 and $30. "We challenge the idea that healthcare has to be tethered to legacy systems, bloated intermediaries, and slow-moving money," Wellgistics CEO Brian Norton added. SEC Commissioner Crenshaw blasts agency's settlement with Ripple in public dissent Democrat SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw publicly dissented from the agency's settlement agreement with Ripple on Thursday, arguing it weakens investor protections. The $125 million deal would dissolve the injunction, send $50 million to the SEC, and return $75 million to Ripple — effectively ending the long-running legal battle. "This settlement, alongside the programmatic disassembly of the SEC's crypto enforcement program, does a tremendous disservice to the investing public and undermines the court’s role in interpreting our securities laws," Crenshaw wrote. The dissent comes amid broader SEC shifts under President Trump's second term, including multiple dropped cases and a rollback of Gensler-era crypto enforcement. German authorities seize $38 million worth of crypto from eXch German authorities seized around $38 million worth of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from eXch a day before its scheduled closure, alleging it operated as a criminal trading platform. Prosecutors said eXch enabled anonymous crypto swaps without implementing anti-money laundering protocols or know-your-customer measures, and was promoted on criminal underground forums. Authorities estimate eXch facilitated $1.9 billion in transactions since its inception in 2014, including a portion of the $1.4 billion Bybit hack linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group. eXch previously claimed its privacy-first mission was misunderstood and criticized traditional KYC/AML practices as ineffective. Doodles launches native DOOD token on Solana NFT project Doodles has launched its native token DOOD on Solana alongside DreamNet, a decentralized AI storytelling protocol, and a social survival game called "Lord of the Files." The token is already supported by centralized exchanges including Bybit, Binance Alpha, Gate, KuCoin, and MEXC, with an airdrop now live on the Doodles website. Initially announced in February, DOOD has a total supply of 10 billion, with 30% set aside for the community. Doodles also intends to launch DOOD on the Ethereum Layer 2 Base. Looking ahead to next week U.S. CPI inflation data are released on Tuesday. UK and Eurozone GDP figures are due Thursday, followed by U.S. jobless claims and PPI numbers. Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey will speak on Tuesday. U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks on Thursday. 1inch, Solayer, Render, Axie Infinity, Aptos and EigenLayer are among the cryptocurrencies set for token unlocks.
  • German authorities seize $38 million worth of crypto from eXch exchange German authorities have seized 34 million euros ($38.2 million) worth of crypto assets from the now-defunct crypto swapping platform eXch, the Frankfurt Prosecutor General's Office announced Friday. The cryptocurrency swapping service, which started in 2014, facilitated anonymous exchanges of crypto assets, operating without anti-money laundering protocols or know-your-customer measures. On April 30, authorities seized a variety of crypto assets, including Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Dash. They also confiscated over 8 terabytes of data and the associated server infrastructure in Germany. German prosecutors said eXch explicitly advertised its lack of anti-money laundering measures on platforms of "criminal underground economy." Authorities estimate around $1.9 billion in crypto have been moved through eXch since its inception, part of which came from criminal origins. The statement also noted that a portion of the $1.4 billion in crypto stolen from Bybit, attributed to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus, was laundered through eXch. "The operators of eXch are therefore suspected of commercial money laundering and the operation of a criminal trading platform on the Internet," the authorities said in a translated version of the statement. While eXch announced mid-April that it would shut down on May 1, the German authorities said they anticipated the move and secured evidence before the closure, despite the short notice. In its April announcement, eXch said there was a "transatlantic operation" to close down its operations and prosecute the team for money laundering and terrorism-related charges. The platform's operators also lamented that their privacy-centered goals were being misinterpreted, and AML measures placed in other exchanges were not effective. "Any instant exchangers that screen their customer deposits using third-party APIs and appeal to nonsensical AML/KYC terms are far from preventing money laundering and terrorism," eXch said at the time. "Privacy is not a crime."
