Ripple CEO Confirms White House Meeting between Crypto, Banking Reps
Update (Feb. 19 at 7:21 pm UTC): This article has been updated to include a statement from the Crypto Council for Innovation.
The White House has held another meeting between representatives from the cryptocurrency and banking industries on a market structure bill under consideration in the US Senate, seeking to iron-out differences on stablecoin yield provisions, among other issues.
In a Thursday Fox News interview, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that the company’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, attended the meeting with White House officials earlier in the day. The CEO’s comments came after unconfirmed reports that the Trump administration would follow its Feb. 10 meeting on the CLARITY Act, a bill to establish digital asset market structure. That meeting did not result in a deal on stablecoins.
Passed by the US House of Representatives in July, the CLARITY Act has seen several delays while moving through the Senate and its relevant committees. These included two government shutdowns — the longest one in the country’s history spanned 43 days in 2025 — concerns from Democratic lawmakers on conflicts of interest, and groups pushing for provisions on decentralized finance, tokenized equities and stablecoin yield.
The meeting occurred a day after policymakers, including CFTC Chair Michael Selig and two US senators, and representatives from the crypto industry met at US President Donald Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club to attend a forum hosted by World Liberty Financial, the company founded by the president’s sons and others. Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno said at the event that he expected the CLARITY Act to make it through Congress and be ready to be signed into law “by April.”

Cointelegraph reached out to Ripple for comment on Alderoty’s presence at the meeting, but had not received a response at the time of publication. White House crypto advisers Patrick Witt and David Sacks had not publicly commented on the event at the time of publication.
In a statement shared with Cointelegraph, Crypto Council for Innovation CEO Ji Hun Kim said the Thursday discussion “built upon previous meetings to establish a framework that serves American consumers while reinforcing US competitiveness,” describing it as “constructive.”
Market structure bill awaits markup by Senate Banking panel
Although the Senate Agriculture Committee voted to advance its version of a digital asset market structure bill in January, another committee crucial to the legislation’s passage has stalled following stated opposition from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.
Armstrong has objected to provisions that would restrict rewards paid on stablecoin holdings and warned the bill could weaken the CFTC’s role in favor of broader SEC authority.
The Senate Banking Committee had been scheduled to mark up its market structure bill in January, but delayed the event indefinitely after Armstrong said the exchange could not support the legislation as written, citing concerns about tokenized equities. As of Thursday, the committee had not rescheduled the markup.

XRP shorts dominate as funding drops 80% and OI falls
XRP slips below support as funding drops ~80% today on bearish leverage.
Summary
- XRP funding rate dropped nearly 80% on Thursday, signaling aggressive short bias and sustained downside positioning in derivatives markets.
- Open interest declined alongside negative funding, showing leveraged traders are de-risking as spot price trades below its short-term moving average and key Fibonacci support.
- XRP trends lower with RSI nearing oversold while crypto Fear & Greed prints “Extreme Fear” and BTC dominance climbs, pointing to rotation away from altcoins.
Daily XRP (XRP) funding rates declined nearly 80% on Thursday, February 19, according to derivatives market data, indicating continued pressure on the cryptocurrency.
Negative funding rates indicate that traders holding short positions are paying those maintaining long positions, a sign that bearish bets currently outweigh bullish exposure, according to market mechanics. The decline was accompanied by a drop in open interest, according to real-time data.
Negative funding rates suggest the market is positioned for further downside, as the metric reflects the balance between long and short traders.
Deeply negative funding can signal overcrowded positioning, according to market analysts. Historical data shows extreme short bias has sometimes preceded sharp reversals, particularly when price action stabilizes and short sellers are forced to cover positions. A prolonged negative funding environment marked a cyclical bottom for XRP in 2022 during the FTX collapse, according to historical market data.
XRP’s spot price showed a decline on the daily chart, falling below its short-term moving average and a key Fibonacci retracement level, which represents a loss of near-term support. The Relative Strength Index has fallen and is approaching oversold territory, according to technical indicators.
Market sentiment remains weak, reflected in an “Extreme Fear” reading on the Crypto Fear & Greed Index. Bitcoin dominance data suggests capital is consolidating into larger-cap assets rather than flowing into altcoins such as XRP, according to market metrics.
Technical analysts note that a recovery above the recent short-term resistance zone would signal price stabilization. Current short-term momentum favors bearish positions, as evidenced by the state of funding rates, according to derivatives market data.

Kraken xStocks Surpasses $25B in Tokenized Stock Volume
Kraken’s tokenized equities platform, xStocks, has surpassed $25 billion in total transaction volume less than eight months after launch, underscoring accelerating adoption as tokenization gains traction among mainstream investors.
Kraken disclosed Thursday that the $25 billion figure includes trading across centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges, as well as minting and redemption activity. The milestone represents a 150% increase since November, when xStocks first crossed $10 billion in cumulative transaction volume.
The xStocks tokens are issued by Backed Finance, a regulated asset provider that creates 1:1 backed tokenized representations of publicly traded equities and exchange-traded funds. Kraken serves as a primary distribution and trading venue, while Backed is responsible for structuring and issuing the tokenized instruments.
When xStocks debuted in 2025, it offered more than 60 tokenized equities, including shares tied to major US technology companies like Amazon, Meta Platforms, Nvidia and Tesla.

Kraken said onchain activity has been a key growth driver since launch, with xStocks generating $3.5 billion in onchain trading volume and surpassing 80,000 unique onchain holders.
Unlike trading that occurs solely within centralized exchanges’ internal order books, onchain activity takes place directly on public blockchains, where transactions are transparent and wallets can self-custody assets.
Growing onchain participation suggests users are not only trading tokenized equities but also integrating them into broader decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems.
Kraken said that eight of the 11 largest tokenized equities by unique holder count are now part of the xStocks ecosystem, signaling increased market share in the emerging tokenized equities sector.

Tokenized stocks mirror stablecoins’ early growth
Tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) remains one of the fastest-growing segments of the digital asset market, even as broader crypto prices have trended lower since the start of the year.
Tokenized RWAs have increased 13.5% in total value over the last 30 days, according to industry data. By comparison, the broader crypto market shed roughly $1 trillion in market value over the same period.
Market observers say tokenized stocks may be experiencing their own “stablecoin moment,” a reference to the rapid early adoption that propelled dollar-pegged digital assets into mainstream use.
Data from Token Terminal shows tokenized stocks reached a market capitalization of $1.2 billion in December, after being virtually nonexistent six months earlier.

From stablecoins to CBDCs: Money is being redefined
Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial.
To anyone who pays genuine attention to the stablecoin market, it comes as no secret that these assets have firmly entrenched themselves among the most important building blocks of the modern digital economy. By late 2025, the total stablecoin market cap had already surpassed the point of $300 billion, which tells us a lot about how much trust people are putting in them.
Summary
- Stablecoins have crossed the threshold: With $300B+ market cap and surging card usage, they’re no longer experimental — they’re becoming core payment infrastructure.
- Banks are reacting, not leading: Nearly half of banks are integrating stablecoins, while CBDCs signal central banks are adapting to rails already built by crypto.
- Liquidity is the real backbone: Yield-enhancing DeFi protocols transform idle capital into deep, 24/7 settlement infrastructure — making programmable money scalable.
Stablecoins get used so much today because they’re fast, borderless, and increasingly reliable. They move value instantly and behave predictably in ways that traditional payments increasingly don’t. It’s not really a question anymore whether stablecoins will stick around. The real question is how they will be adopted — and who will drive that adoption.
The passage of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. was a strong signal that payment stablecoins are entering a new phase. And regulation isn’t arriving just to slow the sector down; instead, it’s stepping up to give stablecoins a defined role in the broader financial system. For the first time, we’ve seen a clear path being introduced for payment stablecoins to operate alongside TradFi systems, rather than simply existing at their edges. They are actively becoming a settlement tool that can be used in practice alongside traditional financial instruments.
Adoption is already happening — but outside traditional rails
I find it important to mention that even outside any formal and large-scale integration by major payment platforms, adoption is spreading at its own pace. There is a growing number of fintechs that are building products at the intersection of crypto, stablecoins, and payments. Companies like ether.fi, Monerium, or Holyheld are already enabling real-world stablecoin usage through their financial tools and offerings. One particularly notable case of this is the exponential growth of crypto cards, utilized for everyday spending among crypto users. A study in Q3 2025 showed that a little over 60% of surveyed users already use these cards for transactions and commonplace purchases.
Meanwhile, we also have data from big names like Visa that their issuance and spending via crypto cards saw a massive rise over the course of the previous year. From January to December 2025, the total transaction volume jumped 525%, with the net spending climbing to $91 million by year-end. All of this evidence points to the rapid adoption of crypto instruments in the mainstream, and stablecoins are the primary way to power those cards.
This usage also highlights another trend that’s becoming more prominent: the growing role of non-USD stablecoins. Assets such as EURe and the more recent ZCHF are finding real demand in payment flows, especially in Europe and Switzerland, where users value on-chain settlement without taking unnecessary dollar exposure.
Euro-denominated stablecoins are rapidly developing under Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, and Europe now has multiple compliant euro stablecoins with real transaction volume and fintech integration. A recent report indicates that over the past several years, the total volume of euro stablecoin transactions has grown to surpass €8 billion, showing how non-USD stablecoins are increasingly gaining traction.
The role of banks in stablecoin adoption
Naturally, this shift raises questions about where traditional banks are supposed to fit into the picture. Many people assume banks will be central to stablecoin adoption going forward. And it’s true that they are paying more attention now: this asset class has grown into something large enough that they can no longer dismiss it, and public acknowledgements of their importance are becoming more common.
A recently conducted survey showed that in 2025, 49% of banks, including some Tier-1s, are already integrating stablecoins into their operations. In Switzerland, for example, over half of banks with active crypto offerings are planning to also include stablecoin-related services.
Looking ahead, I think that a much greater shift may come when central banks start introducing stablecoin-like CBDCs. Some among them, such as the European Central Bank (ECB), are already exploring this direction: particularly wholesale CBDCs intended for interbank settlements rather than retail use.
These projects involve active collaborations between central banks in France, Germany, Italy, and other countries. And if these efforts succeed and wholesale CBDCs eventually start operating on public blockchain infrastructure — potentially even platforms like Ethereum (ETH) — the impact would be tremendous. It would be a tectonic shift in what’s happening under the hood of the global financial system and how money moves across borders.
Consumers and the rise of redeemable stablecoins
Compared to banks, though, an even greater driver of specifically stablecoin adoption, to my mind, is going to be the consumer. Throughout 2025, we saw more and more use cases for redeemable stablecoins in commonplace financial activities. Major payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard are integrating these assets into their infrastructure, providing settlement solutions and merchant acceptance that extend stablecoin utility into mainstream payments.
Redeemable stablecoins give people more options for day-to-day transactions: payments, transfers, savings, and simple on-chain interactions. All without the friction of legacy systems. From the average user’s point of view, that’s a clear improvement.
Because of this, as we move deeper into 2026, I expect consumer adoption of redeemable stablecoins to be one of the main forces behind the continued growth of this market. Broadly speaking, people adopt financial tools because they work, and stablecoins do work. If a coin is easy to use, settles instantly, and can be redeemed without too much hassle, it will likely find users.
Banks may eventually integrate these tools, but as I said, in most cases, they will be responding to behavior that already exists, not initiating it.
The role of decentralized stablecoins
Alongside consumer-facing stablecoins, fully decentralized stablecoins remain essential for on-chain finance. While these assets can be used for retail payments, that’s not what they were primarily designed for. What they do in practice is power smart contracts, automated settlement, derivatives, and decentralized lending.
They form the programmable layer that allows financial logic to execute without intermediaries. In many cases, yield-enhancing protocols depend on these decentralized assets to function reliably. In other words, if consumer stablecoins expand usage, decentralized stablecoins power the infrastructure behind that usage. Together, they create a system that is both practical and resilient.
Yield-enhancing protocols: Liquidity as infrastructure
It should be noted that none of these scales has liquidity, which is the real backbone of stablecoin adoption. And this is where yield-enhancing protocols play a critical role.
Yield-generating DeFi protocols unlock idle capital and redirect it into productive use. Instead of liquidity sitting dormant, it can be deployed into automated market makers, lending pools, and cross-chain settlement layers. This creates deeper markets, tighter spreads, and more reliable execution — all of which are essential factors for payments to happen at scale.
In cross-border contexts, this matters even more. Yield-enhancing liquidity pools reduce the cost of moving value between currencies and jurisdictions. They replace fragmented correspondent banking networks with on-chain systems that are transparent, available 24/7, and economically incentivized to remain liquid. When liquidity is deep and incentives are aligned, users don’t need to worry about whether a payment will clear or whether value will be available on the other side.
What comes next
Ultimately, stablecoins are not here to replace banks overnight, and they don’t need to do it to find success, either. They have a more fundamental role to play, and that is to introduce a faster, programmable, and globally accessible financial layer. Stablecoins are meant to do what money should do in the first place: maintain value, move instantly when needed, and earn the trust of the people using them.
On all three fronts, they are evolving quickly — and in many cases, outperforming the incumbents. The digital dollar accelerates this shift, yield-enhancing protocols make it scalable, and consumer adoption makes it real. How far this can go depends only on what we build next.

Why bitcoin’s rare oversold RSI crash signals a long, slow grind ahead
Bitcoin’s 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropped below 30 for only the third time in its history this month, according to checkonchain.
The RSI is a popular tool for detecting an asset’s momentum by measuring the speed and magnitude of recent price movements and comparing average gains and losses over a set period of 14 days.
The index produces a reading between 0 and 100, with levels above 100 generally considered overbought, while readings below 30 indicate oversold conditions, suggesting that selling may be overextended. Bitcoin’s 14-day RSI has not hit 100 since December 2024 when bitcoin first surpassed $100,000.
Previous readings below 30 marked prior cycle bottoms. In January 2015, bitcoin’s RSI fell to roughly 28 as price hovered near $200. The market then spent about eight months consolidating before a sustained recovery began. A similar pattern emerged in December 2018, when RSI dipped below 30 around $3,500. That period was followed by roughly three months of sideways accumulation before bitcoin broke higher.
BTC is trading around $66,000, with sentiment stuck in “fear” or “extreme fear” on the Crypto Fear & Greed Index for much of the past 30 days. Since peaking in October, bitcoin has shedded more than 50%, briefly falling toward $60,000.
History suggests the current move could lead to consolidation around the $60,000 region in the months ahead before the next leg upward.

83% of Altcoins Enter Bear Trend as Liquidity Crunch Tightens Grip on Crypto Market
TLDR:
- 83% of altcoins on Binance are trading below the 50-week moving average, signaling a broad bear trend.
- Bitcoin has dropped to roughly 46% of its $126,000 all-time high recorded back in October 2025.
- On February 7, a new record was set with over 92% of Binance altcoins falling below a key technical level.
- Rising altcoin token supply combined with constrained liquidity continues to suppress price recovery across markets.
Altcoins are facing mounting pressure as a liquidity crunch pushes 83% of them into a bear trend. Data from Binance shows most assets, excluding Bitcoin and stablecoins, are now trading below their 50-week moving average.
Investors still holding these positions are under considerable stress. Bitcoin has been in a downtrend since October 2025, following an all-time high of $126,000. Its price currently sits at roughly 46% of that record peak.
BTC Downtrend Weighs Heavily on Altcoin Performance
Bitcoin’s decline from its all-time high has created a difficult environment for altcoins. The broader market continues to follow BTC’s direction, which has remained uncertain in recent months.
At its current level, Bitcoin trades at approximately 46% below its record high. This has left many altcoin investors with little room to recover losses.
Macro factors are adding to the pressure felt across crypto markets. Rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran have increased uncertainty among investors.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has maintained a hawkish tone in its latest FOMC minutes. These conditions make highly volatile assets like altcoins especially difficult to hold.
According to analyst Darkfost_Coc, 83% of altcoins on Binance are now below the 50-week moving average. This level is widely considered a key threshold for identifying long-term trends.
Falling below it generally signals a corrective phase for an asset. The current reading shows how broadly the bear trend has spread.
A new record was set on February 7, when over 92% of Binance altcoins traded below this level. That marked the worst reading since the bear market ended in 2023.
It stands in stark contrast to March 2024, when only 6% of altcoins sat below this threshold. December 2024 posted a similarly low reading of just 7%.
Supply Surge and Constrained Liquidity Drive Market Imbalance
The altcoin market has also been shaped by a steady rise in token supply. More projects launching means more assets competing for the same pool of capital.
When liquidity is constrained, new supply puts further downward pressure on prices. This dynamic has made it harder for most altcoins to sustain any upward momentum.
Outside of brief recovery windows, at least 50% of altcoins have remained below the 50-week moving average. This pattern differs notably from the behavior observed in the previous market cycle.
The current cycle appears structurally different, with liquidity playing a much larger role. That shift has caught many investors off guard.
Darkfost_Coc noted that outperforming in this environment requires a clear understanding of how market dynamics have evolved.
Careful asset selection and a structured investment plan are also considered essential by analysts. Without both, navigating the current conditions becomes increasingly difficult. The market rewards preparation over speculation in periods like this.
The combination of macro headwinds, rising supply, and BTC uncertainty continues to define conditions for altcoins. Investors still holding positions face an extended and challenging road ahead.

Bitcoin miner tumbles 17% on debt raise and stock sale
Bitdeer Technologies (BTDR) shares plunged on Thursday on plans to raise $300 million through a private sale of convertible senior notes, alongside a separate registered direct offering of Class A shares.
The notes, due in 2032, can convert into cash, shares or a mix of both at Bitdeer’s election. The underwriter greenshoe option is for another $45 million in notes.
The Singapore-based company also intends to sell an unspecified number of Class A shares directly to certain holders of its 5.25% convertible notes due 2029. It plans to use proceeds from both offerings to fund capped call transactions designed to limit share dilution if the new notes convert, and to repurchase a portion of the 2029 notes in private deals.
Any remaining funds will go toward expanding data centers, growing its high-performance computing and AI cloud businesses and developing ASIC-based mining rigs.
Convertible debt often puts pressure on shares because investors factor in the risk of future dilution. In simple terms, if the company’s stock rises, noteholders may convert their debt into equity, increasing the share count. Bitdeer’s use of capped calls aims to offset some of that effect, though such hedging can add volatility around pricing.
The registered direct offering depends on completion of the notes sale and related repurchases, while the notes offering can proceed on its own.
Bitdeer’s shares fell 17% in the early morning trading below $8 for the first time since April.

UAE sits on $344 million in BTC mining profits, Arkham says
The United Arab Emirates is sitting on roughly $344 million in unrealized profit from its bitcoin mining operations, according to onchain data from Arkham, making it one of the world’s most significant sovereign crypto plays.
Wallets tied to the UAE Royal Group currently hold roughly 6,782 BTC valued about $450 million. Excluding energy costs, Arkham estimates the position is deep in the green, reflecting the lower-than-average cost from years of industrial-scale mining compared with open-market buying.
Over the past seven days, the operation has produced some 4.2 BTC a day, suggesting the country’s mining infrastructure remains active despite bitcoin’s recent slide from late-2025 highs and broader volatility across risk assets.

The UAE’s mining push dates back to 2022, when Citadel Mining, linked to Abu Dhabi’s royal family through International Holding Company, built large facilities on Al Reem Island.
In 2023, Marathon Digital (MARA), now renamed as MARA Holdings, partnered with Abu Dhabi-based Zero Two to develop 250 megawatts of immersion-cooled mining capacity, one of the largest disclosed deployments in the region.
In August, when bitcoin traded at higher levels, Arkham estimated the UAE’s mined holdings at closer to $700 million. The latest figures reflect updated wallet tracking and lower market prices rather than major sales, with the most recent notable outflows occurring roughly four months ago.
Unlike the U.S. or U.K., whose bitcoin holdings largely stem from asset seizures, the UAE’s stash is the product of sustained mining. By holding most of what it produces, the Gulf nation is effectively converting energy and infrastructure into a strategic digital reserve that compounds over time.
In a market where many miners have been forced to sell into weakness to fund their operations, the UAE appears to be doing the opposite, steadily accumulating duing the drawdown.

McGlone shifts bitcoin forecast to $28,000 after critics blast $10,000 call as ‘nonsense’
Bloomberg Intelligence’s Mike McGlone appeared to walk back his $10,000 forecast for bitcoin, instead highlighting $28,000 after being challenged on social media and accused of being an alarmist whose “nonsensical” forecasts put real capital at risk.
Earlier this week, McGlone warned that collapsing crypto prices could signal broader financial stress and that bitcoin could revert toward $10,000 if U.S. equities peak and recession follows. He framed the token as a high-beta risk asset vulnerable to a breakdown in the post-2008 “buy the dip” regime.
But in a subsequent post on X, McGlone pointed to $28,000 as a more probable level based on historical price distribution, a notable shift from his earlier base case. He also said his analysis “suggests why not to buy bitcoin or most risk assets.”
His correction upward also followed being challenged to a debate by market analyst and AdLunam co-founder, Jason Fernandes on X and LinkedIn posts.
Fernandes, whose LinkedIn challenge was liked but not accepted by McGlone, told CoinDesk his broader critique still stands, even after the Bloomberg analyst revised his target. “$28K is obviously more realistic than $10K,” Fernandes said. “Proportionately fewer things need to go wrong for $28K than $10K.”
Mati Greenspan, a market analyst and the Quantum Economics founder, said $28,000 was still unlikely, “but in markets we never want to rule anything out.”
Greenspan had also called McGlone out in a post on X following his lower forecast, saying, “Mr. @mikemcglone11 would have you believe that an asset with trillions of dollars in monthly volumes could crash to a market cap of 200 billion.” He said the forecast was “literally nonsense.”
Fernandes previously estimated a more likely reset in the $40,000 to $50,000 range absent a systemic liquidity shock. He noted that $28,000 now sits closer to his lower bound than to McGlone’s original call. “It bears mentioning that he has adjusted his near-term outlook closer to my low end than his previous prediction,” Fernandes said.
At stake in the debate is more than price targets. Fernandes said that deterministic, alarmist framing can materially influence positioning and put “real capital at risk,” particularly in reflexive markets like crypto.

Trump-linked crypto venture WLFI taps Securitize for Maldives resort tokenization
World Liberty Financial is tapping real-world asset specialist Securitize to help tokenize loan interests tied to the Trump International Hotel and Resort in the Maldives.
Rather than direct equity in the properties, investors will be able to buy tokens tied to loan revenue, according to a Wednesday announcement timed for the privately held company’s Mar-A-Lago crypto conference.
World Liberty Financial is turning to one of the largest companies in digital securities. Securitize has worked with major asset managers such as BlackRock, Hamilton Lane and Apollo Global Markets to issue tokenized funds and private credit on public blockchains. BlackRock and Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest are also investors in the firm, which plans to go public by merging with a Cantor Fitzgerald-sponsored special-purpose acquisition company (CEPT).
“We built World Liberty Financial to open up decentralized finance to the world,” said Eric Trump, a co-founder of the company. “With today’s announcement, we are now extending that access to tokenized real estate.”
Eligible accredited investors will receive a fixed yield and payments linked to the loan’s performance. The sale will take place under U.S. private placement rules, with restrictions on resale.
Plans to tokenize the Maldives resort were unveiled in November. The resort, developed by DarGlobal in collaboration with the Trump Organization, is expected to include about 100 beach and overwater villas and reach completion in 2030. In October, Eric Trump said on CoinDesk TV that WLFI planned to tokenize a new real estate project.
The latest announcement focuses on who will handle the mechanics. Securitize will oversee issuance and compliance for tokens representing interests in a development loan connected to the project.
While tokenization of traditional assets like stocks and funds has gained the attention of Wall Street firms, real estate represents a smaller slice of the $25 billion tokenized asset market. Proponents argue that blockchain rails can streamline property ownership records and settlement, but uneven regulation and thin secondary trading pose a risk, an EY report noted last year.
The company’s WLFI token has dropped 6.6% in the past 24 hours to 11.63 cents.
