Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has indicated that U.S. bank regulations on cryptocurrencies—especially stablecoins—may loosen, aligning with the broader pro-crypto momentum in financial sectors. Powell emphasized preserving safety while enabling responsible innovation, hinting that future guidance will be more accommodating. With stablecoins gaining traction, banks may begin issuing their own, mirroring models like Circle's, where fiat is swapped for tokens and invested in T-bills for profit.
This setup appeals to banks seeking new revenue streams and wider payment systems. Upcoming legislation could accelerate bank involvement, and major players like Meta might also enter, potentially pushing stablecoin circulation beyond $2.3 trillion.
The author discusses why some blockchain enthusiasts avoid Hive, citing their preference for the ease and familiarity of Web 2.0 over the challenges of Web 3.0. While concerns like volatility and scams are valid, the real issue seems to be a reluctance to put in the effort required to succeed in Hive’s ecosystem.

Crypto mining in 2025 remains profitable but is much more competitive. Solo GPU mining is outdated, with large farms and low-cost setups now dominating, especially in Bitcoin mining. Halving and market fluctuations have lowered rewards, making efficiency crucial.
Altcoins with lower difficulty still offer potential for individual miners. Green mining using renewable energy is also rising, supported by incentives. Success now demands smart strategy, adaptability, and careful market monitoring.
