Circle’s USDC Closes Gap With Tether’s USDT With 8 Billion Mints in 2025 Circles mints USDC on the Solana blockchain adding $5 billion to its market cap in past week itself and closing the gap with Tether's USDT. USDC issuer Circle has been minting a large number of its native stablecoin closing the gap with Tether’s USDT. Just over the past week, the stablecoin firm has minted more than 5 billion USDC on the Solana network, amid high demand following the launch of TRUMP meme coin. This shows that Circle is increasing its market footprint and can probably eat partially into Tether’s market cap by being MiCA compliant. Stablecoin firm Circle has been on a USDC minting spree since the beginning of 2025. As a result, the USDC market cap has surged by 8% adding $8 billion and moving past $52 billion. As per on-chain data, a large part of this minting has happened over the past week. https://coingape.com/circle-usdc-closes-gap-with-tether-usdt-with-5-billion-mints-in-2025/

$TRUMP and $MELANIA Perpetual Contracts Now Live on BYDFi On January 20, 2025, the resignation of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler was followed by the announcement of the creation of a cryptocurrency-focused task force led by Hester Peirce. A steadfast supporter of the crypto community, Hester Peirce made it clear that what the crypto industry needs is clear regulation and transparent rules, not excessive intervention. Against this backdrop, this development helped politically-themed memecoins $TRUMP and $MELANIA gain more visibility in the market. https://cryptopotato.com/trump-and-melania-perpetual-contracts-now-live-on-bydfi/

Pi Network Price Eyes $200 Target as it Approaches Key Support Ahead of Key Deadline Pi Network price has retreated and retested an important support level this week. This decline coincided with that of many coins as the altcoin season remains elusive. However, the upcoming KYC grace period deadline and a possible mainnet launch may propel the Pi coin price up sharply, potentially toward $200. Pi Network Price Provides Buying Opportunity Ahead of Grace Period Deadline The Pi coin has crashed as investors eye the upcoming grace period of the Know Your Customer (KYC) deadline. This deadline, which will happen on January 31, will be a crucial step towards the mainnet launch. https://coingape.com/markets/pi-network-price-eyes-200-target-as-ahead-of-key-deadline/

MELANIA Token Hit $13 After Gaining Support From Major Crypto Exchanges MELANIA on the Run Donald Trump, the upcoming president of the USA, whose inauguration is later today (January 20), and his wife, Melania Trump, have made serious waves in the crypto sector lately. Both of them launched meme coins, and as it turned out, they turned into sensations. Melania Meme (MELANIA) saw the light of day several hours ago, and its market cap exploded to almost $2 billion mere hours later. Its price surpassed $13 before falling below $7.50. Ever since that dip, though, the valuation started heading north again. It crossed $13 again, while its market cap crossed the $2 billion mark, placing MELANIA among the top 100 biggest cryptocurrencies. Currently, the asset is placed on the 74th spot (per CoinMarketCap’s data) after another correction that pushed it down to $8. https://cryptopotato.com/melania-token-hit-13-after-gaining-support-from-major-crypto-exchanges/

Wave of ETF filings proposes Litecoin ETF, XRP and Solana leveraged funds, and more Asset managers such as VanEck and ProShares submitted a flurry of crypto ETF filings in recent days, proposing funds that would trade tokens such as Litecoin, XRP, and Solana, as President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday grows nearer. Some expect a Solana ETF to launch by the end of 2025; should that happen, it's likely that the proposed leveraged and inverse funds would also be approved, if the process plays out similarly to Bitcoin and Ethereum's approvals. Several proposed funds would trade XRP, which recently broke its all-time high price, while Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas predicted that a Litecoin ETF will be the next approved spot crypto fund. https://www.theblock.co/post/335596/wave-of-etf-filings-proposes-litecoin-etf-xrp-and-solana-leveraged-funds-and-more

Crypto Developer Michael Lewellen Sues DOJ For Regulatory Overreach Lewellen’s lawsuit claims the DOJ criminalizes non-custodial crypto tools, violating the First and Fifth Amendments and federal law guidance. Blockchain developer Michael Lewellen has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice, accusing the agency of criminalizing crypto development through an overly broad interpretation of federal money-transmission laws. Filed Thursday, the lawsuit seeks to prevent prosecution of his decentralized crowdfunding platform, Pharos, which he argues operates outside the scope of these regulations. Pharos, built on Ethereum, uses “assurance contracts,” which employ smart contracts to hold funds and automatically refund donors if funding goals are unmet. https://decrypt.co/301494/crypto-developer-michael-lewellen-sues-doj-for-regulatory-overreach

I check Farcaster weekly & each time I'm like, 'ugh I want to spend more time here,' but then I never end up making it a new habit... there's so much inertia in having a following on X. In part, I think it's also that I feel lame copying content across platforms & it's more work to have original takes in a second spot.
