Bernie Moreno, Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Ohio, attends a campaign event in Holland, Ohio, on Saturday, October 26, 2024. In total, crypto-related PACs and other groups tied to the industry reeled in over $245 million, according to Federal Election Commission data. Crypto accounted for nearly half of all corporate dollars that flowed into the election, according to nonprofit watchdog Public Citizen. It was one of the top spending committees of any industry this cycle and exclusively gave to pro-crypto candidates running for Congress. "Welcome to America's most pro-crypto Congress ever," Armstrong wrote on X on Nov. 5.

The stablecoin, PayPal USD, is fully backed by the US dollar and is “designed to reduce friction” for payments within virtual spaces and provide faster, cheaper transfers of money across borders. But PayPal is betting on a future in which digital currency is more mainstream and merchants may request payment in stablecoins to avoid credit card processing fees. In May 2022, the “algorithmic” stablecoin TerraUSD collapsed when the crypto token backing it, Luna, collapsed. The value of PayPal USD, or PYUSD, doesn’t rely on a complex algorithm the way Terra did. In other words: every PayPal USD should be worth $1.00, no matter what.

Feb 21 (Reuters) - The firm behind Binance's stablecoin, Paxos Trust Company, is having constructive discussions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after the firm disclosed that the regulator told the company it should have registered the token as a security, according to an internal email from Paxos' chief executive officer. "We are engaged in constructive discussions with the SEC, and we look forward to continuing that dialogue in private," said Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla in an email sent Saturday to Paxos employees. He added that if necessary, Paxos would defend its position that Binance USD is not a security through litigation.

Gensler says that the agency's aggressive stance on digital assets is an effort to protect investors and may encourage further crypto adoption.
