According to PANews, Kristin Smith, CEO of the Blockchain Association, stated at the 2025 Digital Assets Summit in New York that U.S. lawmakers are expected to pass legislation for stablecoins and cryptocurrency market structure as early as August. Smith's timeline aligns with predictions from Bo Hines, Executive Director of the Presidential Digital Assets Advisory Committee, who expressed on March 18 that comprehensive stablecoin legislation could be seen in the coming months. During the summit on March 18, U.S. Democratic Representative Ro Khanna voiced his belief that Congress should be able to pass the stablecoin and cryptocurrency market structure bill by 2025. Khanna noted that approximately 70 to 80 Democratic members view stablecoin legislation as crucial for expanding global dollar usage to enhance U.S. influence.

According to PANews, a survey by cryptocurrency payment platform Oobit reveals that 70% of cryptocurrency payments in the European Union are directed towards retail, food, and beverage purchases. The report, which calculates all transactions in U.S. dollars, indicates that the average payment amount using the Oobit app is $8.36, while the average deposit amount is approximately $85. Following retail and food expenditures, 26% of payments are allocated to travel-related activities, including accommodation, travel, and aviation. Additionally, 1.5% of payments are used for government services and digital payments, with another 1.5% spent on healthcare and entertainment. The report suggests that the increase in cryptocurrency payments may be attributed to the EU's growing acceptance of digital assets, bolstered by government-enacted cryptocurrency legislation that enhances their credibility. Notably, 92% of these payments are made using the USDT stablecoin, which faces challenges under the MiCA regulations that came into full effect on December 30, 2024. Oobit's findings are supported by data from Chainalysis, which shows a 44% year-on-year increase in cryptocurrency adoption in Central, Northern, and Western Europe (CNWE). For transactions under $1 million, the stablecoin market in this region is expanding at a rate 2.5 times faster than in North America.

According to PANews, Jan Kubicek, a board member of the Czech National Bank (CNB), has expressed skepticism regarding the inclusion of Bitcoin in the bank's extensive reserve assets. His concerns primarily revolve around the legal uncertainties and the volatility associated with digital currencies. Earlier this year, CNB Governor Ales Michl suggested considering Bitcoin, prompting the bank to begin analyzing the potential expansion of asset categories in its reserve portfolio. However, CNB Vice Governor Eva Zamrazilova has stated that Bitcoin is not a suitable reserve asset. In an interview on Tuesday, Kubicek remarked, "We will evaluate different asset categories, and Bitcoin is just one of them. I am quite skeptical about Bitcoin." He highlighted the legal status of Bitcoin as a concern, noting that directly holding Bitcoin would necessitate developing numerous new processes in areas such as accounting or auditing. Additionally, he mentioned volatility as another issue, making it challenging to assess market price trends. Kubicek stated, "We cannot be certain if Bitcoin's volatility in the coming years will resemble the patterns observed over the past decade, as I suspect that if more institutional investors accept Bitcoin as an investment asset, its performance will differ from what we have seen so far." Kubicek indicated that the bank's research into new asset categories might be completed by October. This research could explore the possibility of holding international corporate bonds and investing in more targeted stock indices, such as technology, and real estate investment funds.
