LINK3,5%

BlockBeats News, February 11 — The Bank of England has officially launched the “Synchronization Lab” pilot project, conducting a six-month non-real funds experiment to test the feasibility of achieving synchronization and atomic settlement using central bank digital currencies and tokenized assets, thereby modernizing the UK’s real-time gross settlement (RTGS) infrastructure. The Bank of England selected 18 participating institutions, including well-known companies and fintech firms such as Chainlink, Swift, and LSEG. Among them, Chainlink will be responsible for testing decentralized solutions to achieve synchronized settlement of central bank digital currencies and securities on distributed ledgers, while other participants will focus on diverse use cases such as tokenized government bonds, conditional payments, collateral optimization, foreign exchange settlement, and digital currency issuance.

The stablecoin legislation is about to be implemented, and mainstream CEX stablecoin revenue could surge up to 7 times

February 24 News, as the United States advances its stablecoin regulatory framework, the "Genius Act" is being viewed by the market as a key policy to reshape the stablecoin industry landscape. Analysts point out that under the push of this act, the stablecoin-related revenue of the United States' largest compliant CEX is expected to grow by 2 to 7 times, and some institutions interpret this as a potential long-term "tenfold" growth logic, making it one of the important narratives in the crypto market by 2026. The act was signed by Trump, with the core goal of establishing a clear compliance system for U.S. stablecoins, including requirements for issuers to hold high-quality liquid assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds in a 1:1 ratio as reserves, and strengthening anti-money laundering and regulatory transparency. This institutional design will significantly reduce compliance uncertainties for stablecoins, increase institutional funding willingness, and promote the expansion of regulated stablecoins in payments, settlements, and on-chain finance.
