Moscow entices Washington with a rare earth proposal in peace bargain

Moscow entices Washington with a rare earth proposal in peace bargain

The post Moscow entices Washington with a rare earth proposal in peace bargain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Russia is rich in rare earth reserves and is willing to use them to get a better deal from the U.S. on Ukraine, a statement by a high-ranking government official in Moscow has indicated. The hint came with a comment listing areas for potential cooperation between the two powers that are yet to resolve a major geopolitical issue standing in the way of bilateral business – ending the war. Moscow offers Washington Russia’s rare earth riches Russia is pulling another trump card in the context of careful rapprochement with the United States, part of tricky negotiations on how to terminate the military conflict in Ukraine. The two nations could collaborate in metallurgy, including projects involving rare metals and rare earth elements, Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said in an interview with the TASS news agency. He also highlighted the opportunity for nuclear trade, elaborating: “In traditional industries, there is room for cooperation. For example, Russia could supply uranium for U.S. nuclear fuel production. This applies to steel, too. Our president has also mentioned potential collaboration on rare metals and rare earth metals.” The Russian Federation has significant reserves of the latter, which creates opportunities for joint initiatives, Manturov emphasized. “Other areas may emerge as we move forward on the topics I have outlined,” the deputy head of the Russian government added. The suggestion comes after the recent meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump in Alaska. Addressing the press following the talks, Putin stressed that resolving the Ukrainian conflict was the main topic of the summit. At the same time, the Russian leader called for turning the page in relations with the United States and returning to bilateral cooperation.

Gibson TV Announce Limited Series On Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi

Gibson TV Announce Limited Series On Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi

The post Gibson TV Announce Limited Series On Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath performs on stage at Hammersmith Odeon, London, January 1976. (Photo by Erica Echenberg/Redferns) Redferns Tony Iommi: The Godfather of Heavy Metal is a new limited series arriving this autumn that will explore the creative mastermind behind heavy metal, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. The new series is being produced by Gibson films and will be debuting on Gibson TV – the guitar company’s youtube channel. “Parents hated it. Their kids loved it,” a radio host proclaims in a trailer for the upcoming series. “After the Summer of Love began to fade, an ominous new sound emerged from the smokestacks of Birmingham, England Tony Iommi was the architect of that sound—the man responsible for the genre-defining riffs of Black Sabbath and a sound that would take over the world. “More than just a new style of music, heavy metal became a way of life—connecting millions through a spirit of rebellion, passion, and a relentless sound that refuses to fade.” Based off the trailer for Tony Iommi: The Godfather of Heavy Metal, the series will feature an array of legendary icons giving commentary on Iommi and the impact he had on their music careers. Everyone from Ozzy Osbourne’s Zakk Wylde, Pantera’s Rex Brown, Queen’s Brian May, to Metallica’s Kirk Hammett among others, sat down with Gibson to discuss all things Black Sabbath and Tony Iommi. The announcement for this show comes only a month after the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. It’ll be interesting to see if there are any episodes featuring the Prince of Darkness or any of the other members of Black Sabbath in the series, possible even some of the band’s former vocalists like Tony Martin or Glen Hughes. Regardless, Gibson’s new series seems rather ambitious. The trailer takes a glimpse at the many sub-genres…

Ex-PBOC Chief Warns of Stablecoin Crisis – Run Risk Echoes TerraUSD’s 2022 Meltdown

Ex-PBOC Chief Warns of Stablecoin Crisis – Run Risk Echoes TerraUSD’s 2022 Meltdown

Key Takeaways: Zhou Xiaochuan warns that full-reserve stablecoins can still amplify systemic risk through leverage and trading channels. The Hong Kong and U.S. frameworks have begun addressing custody and issuance, but Zhou calls the current oversight insufficient. A new study suggests stablecoins face a one-in-three chance of collapse over the next decade due to crisis-induced arbitrage failures. Former People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan warned that stablecoin issuers may pursue aggressive expansion without understanding the systemic risks involved, including amplification effects that go beyond stated reserves. In a speech delivered at the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Annual Conference in Frankfurt and later compiled by the China Finance 40 Forum (CF40), Zhou said issuers often “lack sufficient self-discipline,” adding that stablecoins “generate a money-multiplier effect through their operation.” Over-Issuance and High Leverage He cautioned that even with full reserve backing, stablecoins can amplify risk through deposit-lending, collateralized financing, and asset trading. “The potential redemption pressure may be multiples of the initial reserves,” he said. Zhou also criticized inadequate reserve custody standards, citing Facebook’s early plans to self-custody Libra assets as an example of flawed design. He argued that reserves should be held by a central bank or a recognized custodian under central bank supervision. The Hong Kong Stablecoin Ordinance and the U.S. GENIUS Act address some of these concerns, but Zhou said regulatory gaps persist. He recommended compiling actual circulation data to estimate redemption risks, calling current oversight frameworks “far from sufficient.” He referenced Hong Kong’s note-issuing model, where banks post U.S. dollars with the Monetary Authority to issue local currency, noting that “M0 reserves alone cannot maintain stability under redemption pressure from M1 and M2.” Zhou urged regulators to develop more robust tools to track amplification channels and prevent misuse of stablecoins in leveraged or speculative activity. Run Risk Paradox of Stablecoin TerraUSD’s May 2022 collapse illustrates the mechanism Zhou flags: once the peg slipped, the mint–burn arbitrage with LUNA accelerated supply inflation and drained market liquidity, catalyzing a run. New York Fed researchers note that between May 1 and May 16, 2022, stablecoins’ market capitalization fell by $25.63 billion—evidence of amplification channels overwhelming reserves during stress. Recent analysis published by Investopedia paints a different picture, shifting attention from issuance mechanics to crisis-driven vulnerabilities in stablecoin design. Researchers identified a “run risk paradox,” where arbitrage mechanisms that support stablecoin pegs under normal conditions can accelerate collapse during market stress. They found that even with decentralized arbitrage, systemic fragility remains elevated—annualized risk estimates for stablecoins range from 3.3% to 3.9%, higher than FDIC-insured deposits. Over a decade, the study suggests there is roughly a one-in-three chance of a major stablecoin crisis. This perspective argues that stability tools like market arbitrage may themselves become sources of systemic strain, spotlighting potential design flaws in how stablecoin models handle extreme events, rather than just issuance controls or reserve policies. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How can amplification risks affect non-issuers in the crypto ecosystem? Leverage and multiplier effects can extend beyond issuers to exchanges, traders, and DeFi platforms, potentially triggering broader liquidity disruptions if redemptions spike. Why is arbitrage seen as both a stabilizer and a risk factor? Under normal conditions, arbitrage helps maintain price pegs. In volatile markets, it can accelerate instability by enabling fast, large-volume exits that drain liquidity. Are regulators focusing too narrowly on issuance volume? Some researchers suggest that more attention should go to market design, redemption incentives, and arbitrage feedback loops, especially during volatility or cross-platform liquidity shifts.

Trump Media, Crypto.com unveil $6.4B Cronos treasury strategy – Details

The post Trump Media, Crypto.com unveil $6.4B Cronos treasury strategy – Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Trump Media’s $6.4 billion crypto treasury strategy positions CRO as a core reserve asset, signaling a bold shift toward institutional adoption and echoing MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin-driven corporate finance model. Yorkville Acquisition Corp., Trump Media & Technology Group Corp, and Crypto.com have joined forces in a definitive agreement to form Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, Inc. This new venture will operate as a digital asset treasury company, with a primary focus on acquiring the native cryptocurrency token of the Cronos ecosystem [CRO]. With this agreement, Yorkville, a SPAC backed by Yorkville Acquisition Sponsor LLC, stands at the forefront of media-crypto partnerships.  Trump Media strikes deal with Yorkville SPAC As per the agreements, Trump Media plans to acquire approximately $105 million worth of CRO, i.e., about 2% of the cryptocurrency’s total market value.  In return, Crypto.com will invest $50 million in Trump Media equity. But the plan extends well beyond that. Additionally, it also aims to build its treasury with a mix of assets, including $1 billion in CRO, $200 million in cash, and $220 million through mandatory warrant exercises. To further bolster its financial position, Yorkville affiliate YA II PN, Ltd. has committed a $5 billion equity line of credit.  This move totaling to $6.4 billion would make Trump Media the largest publicly traded holder of CRO to date. What does this tell us about Trump’s plans? Upon completion, Yorkville, Trump Media, and Crypto.com will hold majority ownership of Trump Media Group CRO Strategy as founding partners. This comes amid a broader trend of publicly traded companies across industries, venturing into cryptocurrency, positioning Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] as core treasury holdings. Alice Liu, Head of Research at crypto data provider CoinMarketCap, called the move a marker of institutional adoption.  “By anchoring Truth Social’s rewards economy and corporate reserves in…

Whale Trades on Hyperliquid Wipe Out XPL Order Book Triggering Mass Liquidations

Whale Trades on Hyperliquid Wipe Out XPL Order Book Triggering Mass Liquidations

The post Whale Trades on Hyperliquid Wipe Out XPL Order Book Triggering Mass Liquidations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Within minutes, large buys sent XPL soaring 200% in pre-market trading on Hyperliquid, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in losses for short positions. Hyperliquid, the top decentralized perpetuals exchange by trading volume, faced chaos on Tuesday when a group of whale wallets bought millions of pre-market XPL tokens, clearing the platform’s order book and triggering mass liquidations. Blockchain analyst Lookonchain said in an X post that the liquidation cascade began with wallet 0xb9c0, which deposited $16 million USDC into the platform early Tuesday. XPL Hyperp Chart Within two minutes, the user purchased 15.2 million XPL, driving the token’s price from $0.60 to $1.80 —a surge of more than 200% that wiped out anyone betting against it with leverage. XPL is the native token of Plasma, the highly anticipated stablecoin-focused blockchain, which is yet to launch. One of the biggest hits was reportedly suffered by a trader who was liquidated as the spike pushed losses beyond their posted collateral of $7 million. In total, losses for short positions could reach as high as $50 million, with users reporting individual losses ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, despite hedging with low leverage and high collateral. It’s worth noting that the majority of short positions were likely held by users seeking to hedge their XPL presale allocations as the Plasma token is currently trading on pre-markets at more than ten times the public sale valuation. By the peak, the whales began closing positions between $1.55 and $1.60, locking in what Lookonchain estimated to be a $38 million profit in under an hour. Hours later, XPL had retraced to roughly $0.60, leaving most retail traders with losses. “Just lost $185k USDC on Hyperliquid $XPL pump,” one user wrote on X, while another said they were “hunted down badly” despite…
