NEA loans to electric co-ops hit P2.8B in 2025

THE National Electrification Administration (NEA) said it disbursed loans totaling P2.8 billion to 45 electric cooperatives (ECs) in 2025, against P1.6 billion a year earlier.

In a statement on Wednesday, NEA said it has allocated P1.7 billion to fund the capital expenditure projects of 34 ECs, of which 15 were in Luzon, eight in the Visayas, and 11 in Mindanao.

The Accounts Management and Guarantee Department released P956 million for working capital loans of 11 ECs serving electricity consumers in Albay, Cagayan de Sulu, Camarines Sur, Cotabato, Negros Oriental, Northern Negros, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Sultan Kudarat and Tarlac.

Some ECs also received P142.2 million in calamity loans to rehabilitate vital energy infrastructure damaged by Super Typhoon Odette in 2021.

The NEA has been offering financial assistance to ECs through its Enhanced Lending Program. The mechanism aims to ensure their operations will continue for the benefit of their member-consumer-owners.

The program consists of regular, calamity, and concessional loans, standby and short-term credit, single-digit system loss loans, renewable energy loans, and modular generator set financing.

Republic Act No. 9136, or the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001, tasks the NEA with overseeing missionary electrification and providing financial, institutional, and technical assistance to electric cooperatives.

NEA has a target of increasing the rural electrification rate to 94% by the end of 2026. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera

Treasury opens comment period to shape GENIUS Act into stablecoin regulation

The post Treasury opens comment period to shape GENIUS Act into stablecoin regulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S. Treasury Department launched a formal process to transform the newly enacted GENIUS Act into a framework of regulations for stablecoins, inviting the public and crypto industry to weigh in on key compliance issues. The department opened an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on Sept. 18, the first step in gathering feedback before drafting detailed rules. The move gives businesses, policymakers, and the public until Oct. 20 to respond to dozens of questions, including how issuers should custody reserves and how U.S. oversight compares to emerging foreign regimes. Illicit finance and oversight The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, signed into law earlier this year, was the first major U.S. crypto legislation. The law directs Treasury and other agencies to establish standards for issuers, clarify tax treatment, and enforce anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance. Treasury officials highlighted that the rules must balance state and federal oversight while building mechanisms to detect illicit finance. The notice follows a separate request for input last month focused on anti-money laundering risks in digital assets. The public comment period also covers whether additional clarity is needed for reserve asset custody, how prohibitions on issuers should be structured, and how international frameworks should interact with U.S. regulations. Political and market context Republicans in Congress and federal regulators aligned with President Donald Trump have pressed for rapid rulemaking to position the United States as a global hub for digital finance. Lawmakers are also advancing a broader market structure bill, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which has cleared the House and is under Senate discussion. Meanwhile, the industry is monitoring the economic backdrop, and some have raised concerns over whether it will continue to grow at its current pace. JPMorgan analysts recently cautioned that growth in stablecoins may plateau unless the overall…

MAGACOIN FINANCE Surpasses $14M With Whale Inflows

MAGACOIN FINANCE Surpasses $14M With Whale Inflows

The post MAGACOIN FINANCE Surpasses $14M With Whale Inflows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MAGACOIN FINANCE Crosses $14M With Whale Support The momentum around MAGACOIN FINANCE has been building all year, but the presale just delivered its biggest headline yet: more than $14 million raised, with large-scale investors from the DOGE and XRP ecosystems among those joining in. The figure establishes MAGACOIN FINANCE as a major player in the crypto market through its position as one of the most notable presales of 2025. The market environment of investors currently seeks projects that demonstrate both market performance and public interest, and MAGACOIN FINANCE has achieved this goal. The scale of inflows has already exceeded many expectations, and the names now joining are adding fuel to the fire. Whale Inflows Push Presale Higher The most surprising aspect of the presale campaign is the diverse group of people who have joined the effort. Reports show multiple whale wallets associated with DOGE and XRP holders are participating in the MAGACOIN FINANCE presale. The market draws retail investors who boost demand because professional capital starts investing at the beginning of the market. Whales tend to stay away from random trading activity before a sale occurs. The investors choose to support projects which have strong tokenomics and established structures and already exhibit growth potential following the presale phase. MAGACOIN FINANCE enters the presale because investors believe it will achieve success after its market listing. Structured Presale, Rapid Demand MAGACOIN FINANCE achieves its main progress through the implementation of its structured presale model. The system runs allocation rounds which define particular limits to generate an urgent feeling of requirement. The first sales batches sold out rapidly because each successive funding round increased prices which drove investors to invest before prices rose further. The $14 million threshold indicates that MAGACOIN FINANCE has surpassed the typical presale completion point which most projects stop…
