PANews reported on July 20 that according to Cointelegraph, Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte said in the Unchained podcast that the GENIUS Act contains a little-known provision aimed at preventing technology giants and Wall Street giants from dominating the stablecoin market. Any non-bank institution that wants to issue a token pegged to the US dollar must set up "an independent entity that is more like Circle than a bank", clear antitrust obstacles, and accept the veto of the Treasury Committee. Disparte pointed out that lenders that issue stablecoins must deposit them in legally independent subsidiaries and include these stablecoins in their balance sheets that "do not bear risks, do not provide leverage, and do not provide loans." This structure is even "more conservative" than the deposit token model proposed by JPMorgan Chase and other institutions. He added: "It sets clear rules, and I think the biggest winners in the end are American consumers and market participants, and frankly, the US dollar itself."


Wormhole’s native token has had a tough time since launch, debuting at $1.66 before dropping significantly despite the general crypto market’s bull cycle. Wormhole, an interoperability protocol facilitating asset transfers between blockchains, announced updated tokenomics to its native Wormhole (W) token, including a token reserve and more yield for stakers. The changes could affect the protocol’s governance, as staked Wormhole tokens allocate voting power to delegates.According to a Wednesday announcement, three main changes are coming to the Wormhole token: a W reserve funded with protocol fees and revenue, a 4% base yield for staking with higher rewards for active ecosystem participants, and a change from bulk unlocks to biweekly unlocks.“The goal of Wormhole Contributors is to significantly expand the asset transfer and messaging volume that Wormhole facilitates over the next 1-2 years,” the protocol said. According to Wormhole, more tokens will be locked as adoption takes place and revenue filters back to the company.Read more
