PANews reported on November 24 that the European Central Bank's preview of its Financial Stability Review (the official report will be released on Wednesday) shows that as of November 2025, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has exceeded $280 billion, accounting for approximately 8% of the entire crypto market. USDT and USDC together account for nearly 90% of this, and their reserve assets have reached the size of the world's top 20 money market funds. A European Central Bank (ECB) report points out that widespread adoption of stablecoins could lead households to convert some of their bank deposits into stablecoin holdings, weakening banks' retail funding sources and increasing funding volatility. While MiCAR has prohibited European issuers from paying interest to curb such transfers, banks are still calling for similar restrictions in the US. Furthermore, the rapid growth of stablecoins and their linkage to the banking system could trigger concentrated capital outflows during crises. The report emphasizes the risks of cross-border "multi-issuance mechanisms," warning that EU issuers may struggle to meet global redemption requests, calling for pre-access safeguards, and promoting global regulatory alignment.PANews reported on November 24 that the European Central Bank's preview of its Financial Stability Review (the official report will be released on Wednesday) shows that as of November 2025, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has exceeded $280 billion, accounting for approximately 8% of the entire crypto market.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
