This week, crypto has seen a rollercoaster. Price fluctuations, global changes, and powerful regulatory moves.
It’s the mix of progress and pressure that defines the moment.
Here are the key moves you may have missed.
#1 Nine European Banks Join Forces for Euro StablecoinNine major European banks – including ING, UniCredit, CaixaBank and Danske – are teaming up to launch a euro-denominated stablecoin under Europe’s MiCAR framework. A new consortium based in the Netherlands will seek approval from the Dutch Central Bank, with the launch set for late 2026. The stablecoin aims to power 24/7 cross-border payments, programmable finance and digital asset settlements.
As ING’s Floris Lugt put it: “This development requires an industry-wide approach, and it’s imperative that banks adopt the same standards.”
#2 Crypto.com Rejects Claims of Secret 2023 Data BreachCrypto.com has denied fresh claims that it hid a 2023 data breach from regulators. Bloomberg quoted hacker Noah Urban of Scattered Spider, who said the group phished into an employee account and exposed user details. On X, investigator ZachXBT accused the exchange of a “cover-up.”

— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) September 21, 2025Crypto.com insists the incident was minor, contained within hours, and reported through official filings. CEO Kris Marszalek pushed back harder, calling the allegations “misinformation from uninformed sources” and stressing no customer funds were at risk.
#3 Sam Bankman-Fried Resurfaces OnlineSam Bankman-Fried is back in the spotlight after a sudden “gm” post from his account drew 6.5 million views. The message, later confirmed to be from a friend, sparked immediate speculation and pushed FTT up more than 50% before easing back. Some saw a pardon campaign in the making – analyst Conor Grogan suggested it could be strategic – while Arthur Hayes joked “Wen memecoin?” and ZachXBT called SBF undeserving of “human rights.”

The post comes days before FTX begins $1.6 billion creditor payouts.

Ripple is tightening the link between Wall Street and crypto. CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced a new smart contract that allows holders of BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL tokenized funds to redeem shares for Ripple USD (RLUSD) anytime, day or night.
“Enterprise-grade instant onchain liquidity at your fingertips. That’s real utility,” Garlinghouse wrote.
Built on Securitize’s platform, the feature gives institutions a regulated off-ramp into crypto, faster settlements, and a bridge into DeFi without compromising compliance.
#5 Interpol Seizes $97M in Crypto in Global CrackdownInterpol has seized $97 million in cryptocurrencies and assets in a global operation targeting cybercrime. Operation HAECHI VI, which ran from April to August across 40 countries, focused on fraud, money laundering, and phishing schemes.
Authorities blocked 68,000 bank accounts, froze 400 wallets, and recovered $16 million directly from digital assets. In Portugal, 45 suspects were arrested for defrauding social security funds. Interpol’s Theos Badege said the results prove that stolen funds “can be recovered” through global cooperation.
#6 UK–US Launch Taskforce to Shape Crypto FutureThe U.K. and U.S. are moving closer on crypto policy with the launch of a Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future. Announced on Sept. 22, the group will coordinate on digital assets and capital markets while rules are still taking shape. The timing is notable: Bitcoin ETNs are set to return to the U.K. in October, marking a cautious reopening for retail investors.
As Riccardo Tordera of The Payments Association put it, “the government has been listening” to industry calls for stronger transatlantic cooperation.
#7 Stablecoins May Soon Count as Collateral, Says CFTCThe U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is moving to let stablecoins serve as collateral in derivatives markets, a step that could reshape global finance. Acting chair Caroline Pham called collateral management the “killer app” for stablecoins, saying tokenized markets are “the future.”
CRYPTO SPRINT: @CFTC launches tokenized collateral and stablecoins initiative with industry partners. It’s the killer app to modernize markets and make dollars work smarter and go further, unleashing U.S. economic growth by lowering costs
