Would a bank charter make crypto safer? Two sides of U.S. federal trust bank approval

The charter can strengthen legal standing for custody while bringing firms into direct oversight by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The article contrasts interpretations of Silvergate’s liquidation and notes conditional approvals for several trust bank moves. It adds that regulators retain control through approval conditions and revised supervisory rules.

Bitcoin may shift from 4-year halving cycle to Wall Street-style 6-8 year rhythm

Bitcoin may be moving away from its traditional four-year halving-led cycle toward a Wall Street-style 6 to 8-year rhythm, an analysis said.

He said the halving impact is weakening as new supply shrinks, while institutional holdings now exceed miners’ annual output many times over, potentially shifting future turning points.

Bitcoin rebound may not signal end of bear market, new low possible in November

It said the recent rise does not necessarily signal a trend reversal, despite a roughly 30 percent gain to about $81,639 by Aug. 30 after a U.S. Treasury buyback announcement.
