HodlX Guest Post Submit Your Post The $230 billion stablecoin industry stands at a crossroads. With the Trump administration pushing to make the US the ‘crypto capital of the planet,’ racing to bring stablecoins to the masses, regulatory clarity appears imminent – but the real question is whether this political momentum will elevate stablecoins as transformative financial infrastructure or merely solidify them as casino chips for traders in a speculative market. The paradox of today’s stablecoins Stablecoins were meant to bridge crypto and TradFi (traditional finance), yet they remain largely confined to intra-crypto trading. They were originally envisioned as frictionless, programmable dollars that could flow across the globe in seconds. Yet, in practice, they have largely been used to arbitrage, speculate and navigate exchange inefficiencies. High-profile failures like TerraUSD’s algorithmic collapse, depegging events from USDC and Tether and ongoing concerns over opaque reserves expose a paradox that today’s stablecoins mimic the structural fragilities of the very financial systems they were meant to disrupt. While fiat-backed models may command the security of treasuries or bank deposits, they introduce counterparty risk, being repackaged under the label of innovation. In effect, most stablecoins don’t remove risk but rebrand it. Political opportunism The push for a stablecoin bill by August 2025 by Trump could bring much-needed legal certainty. But if legislation is shaped by industry lobbying and political self-interest, such as the Trump-linked stablecoin venture being formed, it risks enabling another cycle of light-touch regulation and insider enrichment. The Terra disaster proved that without robust safeguards, stablecoins remain a ticking time bomb. Could this open the door to regulatory arbitrage, where rules are written to favor a few powerful players while smaller or more ethical projects are sidelined? Addressing the lip service A common talking point in crypto circles is that stablecoins can ‘bank the unbanked.’ Yet, to date, access to stablecoins often requires an existing relationship with crypto exchanges, fiat on-ramps and a level of digital literacy far beyond the reach of the underserved. In practice, they serve the overbanked: traders, institutions and whales. True financial inclusion requires the right infrastructure, like AI-powered wallets that automate hedging, not just dollar-pegged tokens. Stablecoins as a new form of value With a lack of clear reserve requirements or public audits, and an unclear path to adoption for those most in need, it’s important to ask whether the US should prop up legacy models or incentivize stablecoins that actually power the next economy. The future lies in stablecoins that are intelligent, AI-backed, transparent and tied to real productive assets like AI compute power, tokenized research and development or DeFi lending markets. To achieve this, policymakers must mandate real-time, on-chain PoRs (proof of reserves) as opposed to self-reported audits, reward stablecoins that enable real-world use cases (payments, AI services, DeFi) over pure speculation and promote overcollateralized models that eliminate single points of failure. The Trump administration’s crypto push is neither inherently good nor bad. It’s a test of whether the industry can mature beyond short-term profiteering. Stablecoins won’t revolutionize finance by mimicking dollars but by creating new forms of value. We shouldn’t be asking if Trump’s policies will give stablecoins a boost. We should start analyzing whether builders and regulators will demand a system that’s transparent, resilient and truly innovative.

Banking giant Wells Fargo reportedly expects to see a massive price drop in the electric carmaker Tesla’s (TSLA) stock. CNBC reports that in a note to clients, Wells Fargo automotive and mobility analyst Colin Langan says that Tesla’s core auto business continues to weaken, which could weigh down on the company’s stock. “ While ‘order’ pricing on the website appears stable over the [last 12 months], aggressive financing promotions continue to act as price cuts. Risk to Q2 margin remains given lower leverage.” The bank is giving Tesla an underweight rating and a $120 price target, which means that the company’s shares could drop by 61% from Monday’s closing price of $308.58. The bank’s bearish forecast comes even as investors anticipate the company’s robotaxi launch in Austin today. The vehicles are set to provide on-demand transportation without human drivers. Lanang says that potential tailwinds, including Tesla’s work on autonomous driving, are not enough to offset weak automotive numbers. “Most investor attention is directed at the June 12th Austin Robotaxi deployment. We doubt the likely limited debut will be enough to overshadow the poor fundamentals.” Tesla’s global deliveries are down 23% year over year amid steeper competition in China. TSLA has already dropped by more than 22% in 2025. In June alone, the stock slumped by nearly 10%.

The world’s largest crypto exchange platform by trading volume is abruptly adding support for one decentralized finance (DeFi) application (DApp), causing its native token to skyrocket. In a new announcement, Binance says it is adding support for DeFi App ( HOME ), a DApp that aims to simplify decentralized trading as well as make it more accessible. After the addition, HOME skyrocketed, going from a low of $0.0201 on June 10th to a peak of $0.038 just two days later. The token has since retraced and is trading for $0.033 at time of writing, a gain of 10.3% during the last 24 hours. HOME was also added to Binance’s HODLer airdrops, a program launched in June 2024 that rewards investors holding Binance’s native asset BNB with crypto assets based on previous snapshots of their balances. On its official webpage , the developers behind DeFi App state that the project aims to address several challenges faced by crypto users, including the risk of errors, fragmented digital asset ecosystems, issues with centralized exchange platforms, and steep learning curves. “If you’re new to crypto and DeFi, Defi App simplifies getting started. You won’t need to understand bridging, gas fees, or complex wallet setups – just follow a few simple steps to set up your crypto wallet, fund your account, and start swapping. For degens already familiar with DeFi, Defi App offers advanced tools to manage multiple wallets across chains, leverage seamless swaps across EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and Solana, and utilize on/off-ramp integration – all from one platform.” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

Analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe is offering his outlook on Bitcoin ( BTC ) and two other crypto assets amid a market recovery. Van de Poppe tells his 791,900 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin is in the first phase of consolidation after breaking out from the $106,500 price level. According to the widely followed analyst, the first consolidation phase is likely to last a couple of days. “Then, we’re going to have the next breakout above the all-time high. Ideal zone to buy? I would estimate around $107,000 – $108,000. Buy the dip season.” Source: Michaël van de Poppe/X Bitcoin is trading at $109,325 at time of writing. Next up is Ethereum ( ETH ). According to Van de Poppe, Ethereum is building up for a “big breakout” after a consolidation phase that has lasted for over a month. The widely followed analyst says Ethereum could rise by up to around 26% from the current level. “I assume we’ll start to see a leg to $3,400 – $3,500 if it breaks the resistance at $2,800. The area to hold: around $2,575.” Source: Michaël van de Poppe/X Ethereum is trading at $2,770 at time of writing. Next up is the decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) platform Bittensor ( TAO ). According to Van de Poppe, TAO could go up by around 92% from the current price level as “confidence comes back in” to the market. “I assume we will break above $475 and we’re getting to $700 – $800 in the next run.” Source: Michaël van de Poppe/X Bittensor is trading at around $416 at time of writing.

A widely followed crypto analyst says that Bitcoin ( BTC ) is displaying early warning signs of an upcoming pullback. In a new thread, crypto trader Justin Bennett tells his 115,800 followers on the social media platform X that BTC whales exiting long positions in favor of building short positions against retail could cause the crypto asset by market cap to slide down to $106,300. “BTC isn’t the most exciting market at the moment, but that $106,000 imbalance looks appealing if this holds. Technically still range-bound for now. It’s very early and therefore speculative, but whales were exiting long positions and building shorts against retail on Wednesday. This could change, but it could also be an early warning sign of a pullback into $106,300.” Source: Justine Bennett/X The trader’s chart indicates that if BTC were to slide, it would happen sometime during the next 48 hours. Bennett goes on to note that crypto traders should keep an eye on the health of stocks, particularly the S&P 500, as a dip below a specific level could cause it to crash back down to its lows in April and May. “The SPX is holding support now, but if this fails, especially at 5,960, those April and May gaps will be fair game. Not interested in it yet. Just watching.” Source: Justine Bennett/X The flagship digital asset is trading for $107,698 at time of writing, a 2% decrease during the last 24 hours.

The crypto exchange backed by tech billionaire Peter Thiel has reportedly filed for a US initial public offering (IPO) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Citing two people familiar with the matter, the Financial Times reports that in recent weeks, Bullish has confidentially filed the paperwork to start offering its shares to the public. Confidential filings enable companies to pursue their listing plans sans immediately revealing their financials to minimize public scrutiny. Bullish also attempted to go public in 2021 through a special purpose acquisition vehicle, but the deal fell through the following year as the rising interest rates impacted stock markets. The company is again eyeing to become a publicly-traded firm amid strong investor demand for crypto assets, which came as the US adopts industry-friendly policies under the Trump administration. Thiel donated to the president’s first election campaign in 2015 and 2016. The report says the global investment banking firm Jefferies will work as the lead underwriter on the deal. The stablecoin issuer Circle has also debuted on the stock market, raising $1.1 billion in its IPO last week. The company’s stock surged by 168.48% from the IPO price of $31.00 per share on its first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

GameStop (GME) stocks are falling following the announcement of a proposal to potentially purchase more Bitcoin ( BTC ). Yesterday, GameStop announced a proposed private offering of $1.75 billion worth of senior convertible notes. “GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) (‘GameStop’) today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the ‘notes’) in a private offering (the ‘offering’) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘Securities Act’). GameStop also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $250 million aggregate principal amount of notes.” In the announcement, GameStop says it plans to use the funds for general purposes, including potential investments “in a manner consistent with GameStop’s Investment Policy and potential acquisitions.” According to a CNBC report , that could potentially mean purchasing more BTC. Buying more Bitcoin is in line with recent GameStop investments. Late last month, the meme stock became a BTC Treasury by purchasing 4,710 BTC, worth $505 million at time of writing. However, since yesterday’s announced proposal, GME has crashed 21% and is currently trading for $22.49.

A widely followed crypto analyst says that Bitcoin ( BTC ) is on the verge of a massive breakout to fresh all-time highs. In a new thread, pseudonymous crypto trader Kaleo tells his 704,300 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin will likely enter an uptrend and hit $116,000 by early next week after a pullback from the $110,000 level. “Bitcoin: new all-time highs [Thursday].” Source: Kaleo/X The analyst also says that Bitcoin may no longer adhere to its four-year cycle, an idea that the flagship crypto asset has a predictable pattern connected to its halving events, when BTC miners’ rewards are cut in half, which happen roughly every four years and tend to precede upward price movements. “I believe this is where we finally break out of the traditional four-year cycle revolving around the Bitcoin halving. Higher for longer. Supercycle.” Bitcoin is trading for $107,354 at time of writing, down 2.2% in the last 24 hours. Next up, the analyst says that Ethereum ( ETH ) may repeat a similar 2020 pattern and soon enter an explosive uptrend. “A lot of similarities on the chart to where we are now versus where we were in 2020. Spring of 2020 there was a major selloff from the COVID crash that sent ETH beneath HTF (high timeframe) support. Once that line was reclaimed, ETH was up only for the next 20 months. The recent selloff that led to the break beneath HTF support was caused by the Trump Tariff scare in the market. ETH is currently on the verge of reclaiming that line. Will history repeat itself with this leading to another great ETH bull run and accompanying alt season?” Source: Kaleo/X ETH is trading for $2,754 at time of writing, down 3.6% on the day.
