U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 25 at the White House mandating a government-wide shift to digital payments, ending nearly all paper-based disbursements by the close of Fiscal Year 2025. The order targets inefficiencies in the current system, citing rising costs, fraud, and delivery delays associated with physical checks and money orders. “Historically, Department of the Treasury checks are 16 times more likely to be reported lost or stolen, returned undeliverable, or altered than an electronic funds transfer (EFT),” the order stated. Processing physical records cost taxpayers more than $657 million in Fiscal Year 2024 alone. According to the executive order’s fact sheet: The Order mandates that, effective September 30, 2025, the federal government will cease issuing paper checks for all disbursements, including intragovernmental payments, benefits, vendor payments, and tax refunds. The order further states: “All executive departments and agencies must transition to modern, electronic funds transfer (EFT) methods like direct deposit, debit/credit card payments, digital wallets, and real-time transfers.” Agencies are instructed to enroll recipients in digital systems and reduce reliance on the Treasury’s lockbox services. Certain exemptions will remain for individuals without access to banking, national security purposes, or emergency situations. Alternative payment methods will be provided for those who qualify. A nationwide awareness campaign is planned to educate payment recipients on digital transition procedures. Agencies must submit compliance plans within 90 days, and the Treasury Department is required to report back to the President within 180 days outlining implementation progress. As a safeguard against public concern over digital currency policy, the order also makes clear: This Executive Order does not establish a central bank digital currency (CBDC). In January, President Trump signed an executive order barring federal agencies from developing or promoting central bank digital currencies. The order also rescinded previous efforts to explore digital asset regulations and the creation of a digital dollar. It created a working group to propose a federal regulatory framework for digital assets within 180 days. Several bills to ban CBDCs have also been introduced in Congress and state legislatures. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Canaan (Nasdaq: CAN) entered a three-year colocation agreement with Mawson Infrastructure Group affiliate Mawson Hosting LLC for a Midland, Pennsylvania, facility. A separate 24-month hosting agreement covers a site in Edna, Texas. Most of the 4.7 EH/s hashrate is expected to be operational by Q2 2025, according to the announcement. Canaan CEO Nangeng Zhang stated the partnerships align with the company’s strategy to grow its U.S. presence through self-mining and and bitcoin mining equipment sales. He cited supportive regulatory policies as a factor in targeting North American expansion. “The U.S. has regulatory policies that support our company’s ambitions, and we believe that we will be able to find additional partnerships and sites that will help us to increase our presence in the U.S. through self-mining activities and provide us with additional opportunities for mining machine sales,” the Canaan executive said. Mawson Infrastructure CEO Rahul Mewawalla emphasized the collaboration’s focus on integrating Canaan’s hardware with Mawson’s infrastructure. The Texas facility’s operator was not named in the release. The agreements follow months of site evaluations by Canaan, which seeks to leverage partnerships to scale operations. The company did not disclose financial terms or specific energy costs for the facilities. Canaan, a Nasdaq-listed bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer, has increasingly prioritized self-mining revenue. The expansion comes amid broader industry efforts to capitalize on U.S. energy markets and regulatory stability since the Trump administration took over. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force revealed plans Tuesday to hold four additional public roundtables in Washington D.C., expanding its series focused on developing digital asset regulation. The events will take place at the SEC headquarters on April 11, April 25, May 12, and June 6, each tackling a different facet of the crypto regulatory landscape. SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, who leads the initiative, emphasized the importance of public input, stating: The Crypto Task Force roundtables are an opportunity for us to hear a lively discussion among experts about what the regulatory issues are and what the Commission can do to solve them. Each upcoming roundtable features a unique theme aimed at dissecting critical regulatory gaps. The April 11 session, Between a Block and a Hard Place: Tailoring Regulation for Crypto Trading, will explore trade-specific oversight. On April 25, Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody will focus on the risks and responsibilities of crypto asset storage. The May 12 event, Tokenization – Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet, is expected to address blockchain-based asset integration with traditional finance. Wrapping up the series on June 6 is DeFi and the American Spirit, centering on the role of decentralized finance in U.S. markets. All sessions are open to the public, with in-person registration required and livestreams available on SEC.gov. Last week, the task force hosted its inaugural roundtable, which centered on foundational legal questions and the barriers digital asset firms face in attempting to comply with existing regulations. Participants debated issues ranging from the definition of crypto securities to the feasibility of current registration requirements. The session included perspectives from former regulators, legal scholars, blockchain company executives, and investor advocates. It set the tone for the task force’s approach—prioritizing transparency and inclusion as it works to address complex regulatory challenges across the digital asset sector. During the event, Acting SEC Chairman Mark T. Uyeda advocated for regulatory rulemaking over enforcement to clarify cryptocurrency guidelines and reduce legal ambiguity. Uyeda formed the crypto task force in January. Commissioner Peirce later outlined 10 priorities. The SEC has described the task force’s mission as follows: The Crypto Task Force was established to help the Commission draw clear regulatory lines, provide realistic paths to registration, craft sensible disclosure frameworks, and deploy enforcement resources judiciously. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

For much of March 26, the top cryptocurrency oscillated within a narrow corridor, briefly slipping to $85,869 around 3 p.m. ET. Global crypto asset exchanges recorded around $79.59 billion in trade volume during the session, with bitcoin’s share accounting for $26.84 billion. Bitcoin ( BTC) presently hovers below its March 25 peak of $88,539, achieved around 4 p.m. ET yesterday, as traders navigate a familiar script of price stabilization after record-breaking performances. At the time of writing, BTC is exchanging hands for $86,990 per coin. The leading digital currency’s current stasis mirrors historical episodes where it lingered in tight corridors post-peak, a choreography of supply and demand etched into its volatile DNA. Market oscillators hint at collective hesitation, with the $90,000 mark looming as a psychological barrier; breaching this fortress could reignite the algorithmic cavalry in a run toward $100,000. Political tremors from President Donald Trump’s tariff declarations—including a 25% levy on non-U.S. automobiles announced Wednesday—have rippled through equities and crypto markets alike. All of the major U.S. stock indices closed the day in the red. Meanwhile, Gamestop’s $1.3 billion fundraising gambit to fortify its BTC reserves added a subplot to the day’s financial theater. While BTC is $86,990 per coin on global exchanges like Bitstamp, in South Korea, on exchanges like Bithumb and Upbit, BTC is trading for a premium. In South Korea, BTC commands a modest premium as the Korean won cedes ground to the euro in trading pair prominence. The asset’s dominant pairings on Wednesday feature USDT, FDUSD, USD, USDC, EUR, and KRW, while Cryptoquant’s Coinbase Premium Index flickers with faint bullish signals. Bitcoin’s price action meanders through labyrinthine trading channels, its trajectory is still as unpredictable as quantum fluctuations. Potential accelerants loom: Continued institutional embrace via spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and corporate balance sheet strategies could propel valuations. A dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve, spurred by cooling inflation or economic headwinds, might similarly electrify bitcoin. Yet, certainty remains elusive—a reminder that bitcoin markets thrive on ambiguity. Trump’s dual role as crypto cheerleader and tariff provocateur further muddies the waters, illustrating how policy whims can both invigorate and destabilize in one breath. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Gamestop Corp. (NYSE: GME) announced on March 26 that it intends to raise $1.3 billion through a private offering of convertible senior notes, aiming to tap into institutional investment under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. The Texas-based company also revealed that it may grant initial purchasers the option to acquire an additional $200 million in notes within 13 days of issuance. These zero-interest, unsecured notes will mature on April 1, 2030, and the principal will not accrete over time. The company explained: Gamestop expects to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin in a manner consistent with Gamestop’s Investment Policy. A key development accompanying the offering came one day earlier, when the board of directors approved a shift in the company’s investment policy. According to the announcement, the board “unanimously approved an update to its investment policy to add bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.” The updated guidelines state: “The company’s investment policy permits investments in certain cryptocurrency assets, including bitcoin and U.S. dollar-denominated stable coins.” According to its financial statements, Gamestop reported year-end cash and cash equivalents of $4.757 billion. The notes will be convertible into cash, Class A common stock, or a mix of both, depending on the company’s election. Final terms such as the conversion rate and redemption rights will be determined at pricing, based on the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of Gamestop’s Class A shares between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern. Gamestop’s strategy bears resemblance to one already used by Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), which recently rebranded as Strategy. The software intelligence firm has accumulated approximately 506,137 BTC as of March 23. Strategy used a combination of equity offerings and convertible debt to fund its digital asset acquisitions. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor calls Gamestop’s bitcoin move “a step in the right direction.” Gamestop’s plan underscores a broader trend of corporations leveraging debt instruments to gain exposure to cryptocurrency. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
