The U.S. recently approved spot bitcoin ETFs for the first time after a decade of attempts from the financial sector. Regulators around the world are questioning whether they should do the same.

@AdolphSung50931 USDC may benefit from upcoming stablecoin regulations.
English
USD Coin (USDC), which has filed to sell shares to the public in the U.S., could be one such beneficiary, as it "appears to be looking to expand across jurisdictions and to be proactively preparing for the upcoming stablecoin regulations," the report said.
JPMorgan notes that tether has seen significant growth in both market cap and market share recently, with widespread adoption across centralized crypto exchanges and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. Last week, the stablecoin issuer reported a record-breaking $2.85 billion of profit for the previous quarter and said its flagship token has almost reached a $100 billion market capitalization.
The stablecoin has also benefited from the "turbulence" in peers such as USDC and Binance’s BUSD, the report said.

Chapter 6: Seven echoes
In the room, when Lam Dong dreamily opened his eyes, the sunlight was already shining on his face. He opened his eyes wide, looking at the brightly lit room, suddenly like a carp flicking its tail, Jumped directly from the bed, just as he wanted to lift his leg, suddenly an extremely painful feeling appeared from inside his body, almost causing Lam Dong to bend his leg and fall to the ground.
"This..."
Suddenly a feeling of pain appeared, making Lam Dong's face surprised, this feeling, as if he had tried his best to train all night.
"This isn't a dream, is it?"
In a moment of surprise, Lam Dong suddenly remembered something, a look of horror appeared on his face, immediately after that, he gritted his teeth and pushed himself up, the extremely skillful Thong Boi Quyen position was displayed, this look His body seemed to have been trained countless times. However, only he himself knew that just yesterday, he practiced this set of boxing techniques from Lam Khieu's hands.
In the room, the young man's face was attentive, and that set of fists in his hand was like a horse familiar with the old ways and displayed it. Immediately after, the arm and sleeve rubbed against each other, bringing with it a banging sound, which was resounding.
"Ba ba ba bah bah bai!"
When this set of fists made five crisp sounds, Lam Dong's body stopped, his face was full of strange looks, a little scared, a little crazy happy, but also a little scared.
"How did I cultivate so quickly?"
Lam Dong looked at his palms, muttering to himself, he could feel that right now those five echoes were probably not his limit, if he wanted to…. I'm afraid that reaching seven echoes is not difficult!
This kind of speed makes Lam Dong feel unimaginable. In the Lam family, there are quite a few juniors who practice Tong Boi Fist, but at this age they can practice to the level of seven. echo, I'm afraid there really are very few of them.
"What happened in the end?"
Lam Dong frowned, pondered for a moment, suddenly his hand touched his chest, then reached inside his underwear and took out a mysterious Stone Talisman, this was the item he got from the mountain yesterday. that move. You are reading the copied story at FULL Story
If there is anything suspicious on Lam Dong's body, then it is this Stone Talisman, which absolutely belongs in the top position.
"Is this thing really that magical?"
Lam Dong held the Stone Talisman, a faint cool feeling spread from the palm of his hand, this cool feeling, it seemed that the aching body also became a little less painful.
Suppressing the fluttering emotions in his heart, Lam Dong once again carefully put away the Stone Talisman. For a moment, he could vaguely feel that there was something unusual about this Stone Talisman, if this news were to be spread. outside, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, so I have to try my best not to let the second person know about this thing.
After putting away the Stone Talisman, Lam Dong pushed the door open, first casually ate some of the breakfast that Lieu Nghien prepared, then rushed like lightning into that cave. Now his body is in extreme pain. pain, if you continue to practice intensely, it will cause damage to your body, but fortunately, Lam Dong's situation is not considered the discovery of Thach Tri's miraculous effects. What trouble?
Dripping fresh blood into Thach Tri, Lam Dong comfortably soaked for half an hour before standing up from inside. Not only did the pain in his body fly without wings, but his condition seemed to have recovered to a good stage. best.
Touching the skin on his body, this hard feeling became much clearer. This made Lam Dong's small face show a look of joy. Based on this speed, I was afraid that In about ten days at most, he can officially enter the fourth level of Body Rot!
Climbing out from Thach Tri, Lam Dong once again unleashed a set of Tong Boi Fist. This time he almost used all his strength, without holding back at all.
"Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba!"
Seven echoes!
The fist fell and stopped, Lam Dong's small face turned red due to excitement, with these seven echoes of Thong Boi Quyen, he was sure, now if he meets that guy Lam Son again, he will absolutely die. It won't be like the last time I was beaten to the point where I had no strength to fight back!
After being excited for a while, Lam Dong calmed down, smiled innocently, then climbed out of the cave, once again preparing to practice hard every day, although today he got a magical effect. of Thach Tri, but Lam Dong also understands a simple principle.
On the path of cultivation, the most important thing is yourself. Although the effect of external forces can make your path of cultivation a little clearer, in the end you must stay on the path of cultivation. How far that goes, is still decided by yourself.
Therefore, it is impossible to give up this effort and diligence because of Thach Tri. After all, that is Lam Dong's greatest wealth.
One day of hard practice, at night, Lam Khieu with a serious expression came to inspect Lam Dong's cultivation. Regarding the cultivation of his descendants, he was always quite serious and harsh.
However, this kind of seriousness, when he saw Lam Dong's Tong Bei Fist strike, made three sounds. Even though he intentionally held it tightly, his eyebrows still relaxed, showing in his eyes. His heart was very happy and satisfied.
Seeing this scene, Lam Dong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and suddenly secretly chuckled. If Lam Khieu knew that he could actually strike the Thong Boi Fist seven times now, then his face would be bright. How excited?
On a blazing summer day, all summer, Lam Gia's juniors always tried their best to practice hard, because they also understood that half a year later, it was the Lam Gia's Clan Association, this Clan Clan was for them. has an extremely important effect.
Lam Gia is also not... is a famous family with extremely strong strength, so it is impossible for each member to enjoy the best treatment, but to enter the family to be trained in the best spiritual medicine and martial arts, like that. You must show yourself different from others.
And that so-called Clan Association is a sports competition organized by them. This is probably the first time they officially compete in their lives, but in a certain sense, it is also decisive. determine their future achievements.
A family that focuses on training its people, how can it be much easier than relying on cultivating alone? Of course, except for some special natural situations. ...
Because it was also due to urgent preparations for the Clan Association, during this time no one came to disturb Lam Dong, and he was very happy to have peace and quiet, within ten days of receiving the Stone. That mysterious witch, almost every time it was dark after a deep sleep, he would enter a pitch-dark space, and there, there was an extremely wonderful "Teacher".
The nine-sound Tong Boi Fist becomes more and more difficult to practice, especially after seven sounds, the difficulty becomes several times greater, so even though Lam Dong has practiced hard for x ten days, it's still nothing. He could only barely make nine echoes, but this also depended on the state. As for the so-called tenth echo, he didn't have even the slightest clue.
However, this time, Lam Dong really did not feel tired, because in his heart he was very clear that within ten days, he could practice the Tong Boi Fist nine times. This speed was remarkable. How scared.
At this point, Lam Khieu had already noticed from his daily checks and measurements of Lam Dong's progress, but he only made six sounds, which made Lam Khieu look at him with strange eyes, because at first Lam Khieu practiced Tong Bei Fist, it took more than two months to reach the level of making six sounds, but Lam Dong, in just a short period of ten days, achieved it, this kind of speed was always harsh even for him. So there is not even a single word of criticism.
During the time of hard practice of Thong Boi Quyen, Lam Dong did not stop when it came to physical training, and on the contrary, relying on Thach Tri's magic, Lam Khieu quietly arranged his training program. he increased it several times. From then on, although every time I entered Thach Tri I always felt like a dead dog, but when I climbed out half an hour later, my spirit was immediately lifted again, and the pain in my whole body had all disappeared.
Such hard practice, although it was a painstaking effort, the effect was extremely obvious. In just a few days, the skin on his body became more and more stiff, and sometimes he could even directly Use your fist to break rocks, and when you use the Tong Boi Fist, the force of that ancient path also continuously increases.
According to this speed, truly reaching the fourth level of Thoi Body should be achieved very quickly!

Chapter 6: Innate and Powerful Soul Power of Waste Martial Soul (2)
Duong Tam agreed, then walked out of the blacksmith shop.
Under the guidance of old Kiet Khac, Duong Tam followed him to the Martial Soul Palace in the middle of the village. Of course, this Wuhun Palace is just a small wooden house.
Because everyone has a Martial Soul, every year there will be a child who will undergo the Martial Soul Awakening. Therefore, everywhere on Douluo Continent one can witness the figure of Martial Soul Hall. Of course, that's just electrolysis. Classes are also different.
This year, Holy Soul Village conducted the Martial Soul Awakening with a total of eight children. Duong Tam, led by old Kiet Khac, was the last one.
The children in the village did not pay attention to Duong Tam. The poverty and love of the rich were not only found among the nobles, but the situation of the commoners was even more obvious. As for Tang San, he was a human in two ways, his actual age was over thirty, so naturally he didn't want to have anything to do with these kids. For him, having extra time is better than using it to practice. Therefore, he also has no friends of the same age.
In addition to the village chief Kiet Khac and the eight children who had already arrived, there was also a young man in the Martial Soul Hall, who looked to be over twenty years old, with bright eyebrows and eyes, and a truly handsome appearance. A white outfit, behind a black cloak, on the chest, in the middle, is a fist-sized soul word. This is the standard outfit of Vu Hon Dien's staff,
On the left chest, there is a medallion engraved in the shape of a long sword. On the medal there are a total of three long swords that change one after another. Kiet Khac seems to be very familiar with Soul Masters. The number of three swords represents a third-class Soul Master with the title Great Soul Master, and the long sword represents that this deacon from the Martial Soul Palace is a War Soul Master. .
"How are you? Dear War Soul Master, I'm bothering you again this time." Old Kiet Khac respectfully bowed to the young man.
The young man's eyebrows showed a calm and arrogant expression. He raised his chin and bowed slightly, seemingly returning the favor: "I don't have much time, let's start now."
Old Kiet Khac said: "Very well, children, this is the War Soul Master from Nac Dinh City. Next, he will lead you to open your martial soul. You must definitely cooperate well with the master. Master conducts Martial Soul Awakening, grandfather hopes that among you there will be someone who can become a Soul Master."
The young man couldn't help but say: "Okay, you also said these words last year. Is it really that easy to become a Soul Master? I've been through six villages, and not even one person possesses soul power." There is no suitable martial spirit."
Old Kiet Khac's eyes revealed a trace of sadness, he sighed and said: "That's right! Only those who inherit the great sects can easily become Soul Masters. We are ordinary people, it's really too difficult." towel." Shaking his head, he walked out of the Martial Soul Palace.
The young man's eyes fell on the eight children in front of him. Being the deacon of the Martial Soul Palace patrol, helping ordinary people carry out Martial Soul Awakening was his job, and he was already familiar with it. "Children, line up." Towards these children, his attitude is gentler and warmer.
Eight children lined up in a row in front of the young man, with Duong Tam standing at the left end. His physique is a bit thinner than other children.
The young man smiled and said: "My name is To Van Dao, twenty-sixth level Great Soul Master, I am your guide. Now I will carry out Martial Soul Awakening for you. Remember, no matter No matter what happens, don't be afraid."
As he spoke, Tot Van Dao opened his bag on the table and took out two objects from inside, six round black rocks and a shining blue crystal ball.
Van Dao placed six black rocks on the ground to form a hexagon, then asked the first child on the right to stand inside.
"No need to be afraid, close your eyes and carefully feel it." As he spoke, To Van Dao's eyes suddenly lit up. In front of the children's frightened eyes, he shouted softly. "Duc Lang, possessed."
The first wave of pale blue light was released from the center of his heart, following the position of his heart upward, entering the inner circle.
To Van Dao's hair was originally black, after the blue light poured in, it instantly turned gray, and quickly became longer, hair of the same color appeared on his hands, and at the same time his body seemed to be different. with the past it expanded a lot. The whole body is full of muscles.
The special outfit of the Martial Soul Hall is very elastic and does not tear because of his body's growth. To Van Dao's eyes had turned deep blue, his ten-fingered hands revealed sharp claws that flashed with a faint cold light. Two rings of light rose from under his feet, constantly moving from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. Of which one is white, the other is yellow. Extremely weird.
The boy he called stood in the middle of the black rock. Seeing To Van Dao's body change, he suddenly screamed "Ah" and ran away in fear.
To Van Dao's eyes were shining with blue light, his eyes were truly terrifying, he grabbed the child with one hand: "Don't move. Don't be afraid, it's my Martial Soul, Doc Lang. If you have it in the future, Anyone who can become a Soul Master will also know how to use the same ability."
The only one who wasn't too scared was Duong Tam, but when a change appeared on To Van Dao's body, he immediately attacked his whole body.
Surprised and compared, Duong Tam's heart became even more curious. Gray fur and blue eyes appeared on his body. It was indeed the characteristics of a wolf. Could it be that the Martial Soul possessed by a human will turn into a wolf demon? ? No, that's not right, it must be my own wolf ability. So this soul master profession is to take advantage of the Martial Soul ability..
For the first time, Duong Tam discovered that he was interested in this soul master profession. He was now a little impatient to know what his martial soul was.
To Van Dao quickly shot out with both hands, six pale green lights poured into the six black rocks on the ground. Suddenly, a layer of light was released from the six rocks, forming a light golden light. bright light (light yellow ring), bringing the previous child inside.

@EldMattie44755 That's a significant amount invested in cryptocurrencies.
English
Nearly $1.4 billion of Genesis’ assets were held in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which has since converted to become a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). It also holds $165 million in Grayscale Ethereum Trust and $38 million in Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust, the filing shows.
Some of the GBTC shares were transferred to the crypto exchange Gemini by Genesis as collateral as part of the Gemini Earn program, the filing stated. Genesis seeks an additional 31 million GBTC shares that were pledged to Gemini but never transferred, the filing added.
Genesis and Grayscale made up key parts of Digital Currency Group’s crypto empire, which was hit by losses and controversies as prominent funds and exchanges went bust in 2022, sparking a domino effect that caused Genesis to declare bankruptcy last year.
Genesis’ biggest creditor is Gemini, which estimates that more than 100,000 of its users are affected by the bankruptcy and are owed a total of between $1 billion and $10 billion.
The lender further owes over $3.5 billion to its top 50 creditors, which also include trading giant Cumberland, Mirana, MoonAlpha Finance and VanEck’s New Finance Income Fund.

@Proprietyov7 Innately entwined with Runeterra's latent power, Ahri commands magic.
English
AHRI
THE NINE-TAILED FOX
Innately connected to the latent power of Runeterra, Ahri is a vastaya who can reshape magic into orbs of raw energy. She revels in toying with her prey by manipulating their emotions before devouring their life essence. Despite her predatory nature, Ahri retains a sense of empathy as she receives flashes of memory from each soul she consumes.
Abandoned in the snowy woods of northern Ionia, Ahri knew nothing of her original family save the token they left her: a pair of matching gemstones. She joined a pack of icefoxes as they stalked prey on their morning hunt, and before long they adopted her as one of their own. With no one to teach her the magic of her kind, Ahri instinctively learned to draw it from the world around her, shaping destructive spheres and quickening her reflexes to take down prey. If she was close enough, she could even soothe a deer into a state of tranquility, so much that it remained serene even as she sank her teeth into its flesh.
Ahri first encountered humans when a troop of foreign soldiers camped near her den. Their behaviors were strange to Ahri and, curious to learn more, she watched them from afar. She was especially drawn to a hunter who, unlike his wasteful companions, used every part of the animals he killed, reminding her of her fox family.
When the hunter was wounded by an arrow, Ahri felt his life seeping away. She instinctively devoured the essence leaving his body, and gained brief flashes of his memories—the lover he had lost in battle, his children from a strange land of iron and stone. She found she could push his emotions from fear to sorrow to joy, and charmed him with visions of a sun-soaked meadow as he died.
Euphoric at the rush of absorbing the hunter’s life, Ahri felt more alive than ever, and traveled Ionia in search of more victims. She relished toying with her prey, shifting their emotions before consuming their life essence. She alternated between dazzling them with visions of beauty, hallucinations of deep longing, and occasionally dreams colored by raw sorrow.
She grew drunk with memories that were not her own, and exhilarated in the lives of others. Through stolen visions, Ahri watched through their eyes as they pledged fealty to a temple of shadow, sacrificed offerings to a deity of the sun incarnate, encountered an avian tribe of vastaya that spoke only in song, and glimpsed mountainous landscapes unlike any she had seen. She experienced heartbreak and elation in tantalizing flashes that left her craving more, and wept at the massacres of Ionian villagers at the hands of Noxian invaders.
Ahri was surprised when the memories led her to discover the tale of an unearthly fox demon. As she absorbed more life essence, she grew to identify more and more with her victims, and felt guilty at ending so many lives. She feared that the myths about her were true—she was no more than a cruel monster. But whenever too much time passed between feedings, she sensed her own power fade, and could not help but partake once more.
Ahri tested her self-control by consuming small quantities of life essence, enough to absorb a memory or two but not enough to kill. She was successful, for a time, but was tortured by her unending hunger and soon succumbed to temptation, indulging in the dreams of an entire coastal village.
Tormented by her mistake, Ahri could not forgive herself and felt a deep sorrow that forced her to question her own existence. She withdrew to the forest caves, isolating herself in hopes of controlling her relentless desire. Years later she emerged, determined to experience every facet of life through her own eyes. Though she might indulge in occasional essence, she resisted consuming entire lives. With the twin gemstones as the only clue to her origin, Ahri set out in search of others like her. No more would she rely on borrowed memories and unfamiliar dreams.

@Soubretteyi29 guardians of Ionia's balance, trained in stealth and precision.

AKALI
THE ROGUE ASSASSIN
Ionia has always been a land of wild magic, its vibrant people and powerful spirits seeking to live in harmony… but sometimes this peaceful equilibrium does not come easily. Sometimes it needs to be kept in check.
The Kinkou are the self-appointed keepers of Ionia’s sacred balance. The order’s loyal acolytes walk the spirit and material realms, mediating conflicts between them and, when necessary, intervening by force. Born among their ranks was Akali, daughter of Mayym Jhomen Tethi, the renowned Fist of Shadow. Mayym and her partner Tahno raised their daughter within the Kinkou Order, under the watchful leadership of Great Master Kusho, the Eye of Twilight.
Whenever her parents were called away, other members of the order stepped in as Akali’s surrogate family. Kennen, the Heart of the Tempest, spent many hours with the young girl, teaching her shuriken techniques, and emphasizing speed and agility over strength. Akali was a precocious child, and soaked up the knowledge like a sponge. It became clear to all that she would follow her parents’ path—along with the Great Master’s son and appointed successor Shen, she would lead a new generation dedicated to preserving Ionia’s balance.
But balance can be fleeting. The order found itself divided.
A wayward acolyte named Zed returned, and clashed violently with Kusho, wresting power in a bloody coup. Akali fled into the eastern mountains along with Mayym, Shen, Kennen, and a handful of other acolytes. Sadly, Tahno was not among them.
Zed’s transformation of the Kinkou into the merciless Order of Shadow was almost complete. But, as the new Eye of Twilight, Shen intended to rebuild what had been lost. They would return to the Kinkou’s three fundamental philosophies: the pure impartiality of Watching the Stars, the passage of judgment in Coursing the Sun, and the elimination of imbalance by Pruning the Tree. Even though they were now few, they would train neophytes to restore and grow their numbers once more.
When Akali came of age at fourteen, she formally entered her Kinkou training, determined to succeed her mother as the new Fist of Shadow.
She was a prodigious fighter, and mastered the kama and kunai—a handheld sickle and throwing dagger. Though she did not possess the magical abilities of many of her fellow acolytes, she proved to all she was worthy of the title, in time allowing her mother to step down and help mentor the younger neophytes.
But Akali’s soul was restless, and her eyes were open. Though the Kinkou and the Order of Shadow had come to an uneasy accord in the wake of the Noxian invasion of Ionia, she saw that her homeland continued to suffer. She questioned whether they were truly fulfilling their purpose. Pruning the Tree was meant to eliminate those who threatened the sacred balance... yet Shen would always urge restraint.
He was holding her back. All the mantras and meditations could quiet her spirit, but such platitudes would not defeat their adversaries. Her youthful precociousness turned to outright disobedience. She argued with Shen, she defied him, and she took down Ionia’s enemies her way.
In front of the whole order, she declared the impotence of the Kinkou, all its talk of spiritual balance and patience accomplishing little. Ionians were dying in the material realm, and that was the realm Akali would defend. She was trained as an assassin. She was going to be an assassin. She did not need the order anymore.
Shen let her go without a fight, knowing this was a path that Akali must walk alone. Perhaps that path would bring her back one day, but that would be for her to decide.
