eth

Ether (ETH) is the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, primarily used for paying network transaction fees and computational service fees. As the core asset of the Ethereum ecosystem, ETH plays a key role in the execution of smart contracts, the development of decentralized applications (DApps), and decentralized finance (DeFi). The supply of ETH does not have a fixed upper limit, but inflation is regulated through a burning mechanism introduced by the EIP-1559 upgrade. ETH is not only a medium of exchange but is also used for staking to support Ethereum 2.0's proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Arthur Hayes: The increase in currency issuance may drive up cryptocurrency prices

According to Cointelegraph, Arthur Hayes stated that U.S. policymakers may support the AI industry and government debt financing by increasing the money supply, driving up cryptocurrency prices. If China shifts from limited tightening to large-scale monetary stimulus, it may also boost demand for scarce assets. He is also paying attention to financial pressures in France, including credit default swaps related to BNP Paribas and the spread of French government bonds.Catrina Wang, General Partner at Portal Ventures, stated that banks and asset management companies have an advantage in on-chain financial markets due to existing customer relationships. Todd McDonald, co-founder of R3, pointed out that public chains can help institutions reach customers beyond their own networks. Justin Kugel, Executive Vice President of Growth at World Liberty Financial, mentioned that the demand for asset management and investment evaluation still leaves room for intermediaries.Chetan Karkhanis, Senior Vice President of Digital Asset Client Relations at Franklin Templeton, stated that the company has no intention of issuing its own stablecoin and hopes to provide investment returns through tokenized money market funds. Haonan Li, co-founder and CEO of Codex, stated that trade routes connecting Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia are driving demand for stablecoin payments, with buyers paying eastward and manufactured goods flowing westward.Ilya Podoynitsyn, co-founder and CEO of FinHarbor, stated that companies need to confirm they have long-term idle funds that do not affect daily operations before allocating cryptocurrency assets. Michael Camarda, Chief Development Officer of SharpLink, an Ethereum treasury company, stated that both stock buybacks and increasing ETH holdings can enhance the per-share ETH ownership, and the company employs both methods to meet the preferences of institutional and retail investors.

first_img Tether's USDT will return to the Bitcoin network this month

According to CoinDesk, Tether's USDT will return to the Bitcoin network this month, issued through the Tether-supported infrastructure project Utexo.With a market capitalization of nearly $190 billion, USDT is the largest stablecoin in the world, originally launched on the Bitcoin Omni protocol in 2014, and later Ethereum and Tron became its main issuance networks. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated on X last week, "It's home."Utexo was established in 2025 and completed a $7.5 million financing round earlier this year, led by Tether, and has obtained a commercial license to issue USDT on Bitcoin.Utexo uses the RGB protocol with client-side validation, keeping most transaction data off the Bitcoin public ledger, with ownership anchored on UTXO. Unlike the account models of Ethereum and Tron, transaction details are fully preserved off-chain between the two parties, with the Bitcoin ledger used solely for cryptographic proof of ownership.Utexo offers three main use cases: private USDT transfers, direct exchanges between native BTC and USDT, and lending with native Bitcoin as collateral, without the need for cross-chain wrapping like WBTC.Since RGB assets are ultimately anchored to Bitcoin UTXO, Utexo cannot freeze assets like Tether can freeze Ethereum addresses, but instead maintains a blacklist of UTXO related to sanctioned or illegal activities and distributes it to exchanges and other institutions, making these UTXO non-redeemable.
