🟠 MicroStrategy has made its largest-ever Bitcoin purchase, acquiring 55,500 BTC for approximately $5.4 billion, bringing its total holdings to 386,700 BTC, worth $37.6 billion. This acquisition, the company's third this month, follows its strategy of accumulating Bitcoin since August 2020 under Michael Saylor’s leadership. The latest purchase was made at an average price of $97,862 per Bitcoin.

🚨 The CFTC's Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) has recommended expanding the use of tokenized non-cash collateral through blockchain technology in derivatives markets. This aims to improve collateral efficiency without changing existing rules. The committee also highlighted progress on regulatory solutions for utility tokens, marking a key step toward U.S. regulatory clarity for digital assets. Press release https://shorturl.at/zkG19

Cantor manages most of Tether's $132 billion assets and holds a 5% stake in the company. Tether, under scrutiny for its reserves and regulatory challenges, could be impacted by proposed U.S. stablecoin regulations. via Bloomberg https://shorturl.at/FkUjC
