Today in cryptocurrency, Robert Kiyosaki contends that a worldwide cash deficiency is propelling the market downturn and mentions he\u2019s retaining Bitcoin and gold. Crypto executive Jeff Park expressed endorsement for the CFTC leading on cryptocurrency regulation. In the meantime, Tether broadened its commodities lending approach, with $1.5 billion already allocated to traders.<\/p>\n

Robert Kiyosaki asserts cash shortage driving slump, remains optimistic on Bitcoin, gold<\/h2>\n

Robert Kiyosaki, writer of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has informed his 2.8 million followers on X that he is not liquidating his Bitcoin or gold<\/a> despite the significant drop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe everything bubbles are collapsing,\u201d he remarked in a Saturday update, noting that the true cause of diminishing markets is a global cash shortage. \u201cThe reason for all markets plummeting is the world is in need of cash,\u201d he further stated.<\/p>\n

Kiyosaki anticipates what he refers to as \u201cThe Big Print,\u201d referencing Lawrence Lepard\u2019s argument that governments will turn to extensive money creation to manage escalating debt burdens.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Big Print is about to initiate\u2026 which will increase the value of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum\u2026 as counterfeit money crashes,\u201d he explained. He recommended those who require cash to contemplate selling some assets, asserting that most anxiety arises from liquidity requirements rather than conviction.<\/p>\n

Crypto supervision by CFTC over SEC is \u2018directionally accurate\u2019 \u2014 Jeff Park<\/h2>\n

Despite certain intricacies surrounding the recently suggested<\/a> crypto market structure legislation, a clearer view is starting to develop regarding crypto market governance, according to ProCap BTC chief investment officer Jeff Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CFTC will have a broader domain over crypto than the SEC,\u201d Park stated<\/a> during a discussion with crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano uploaded on YouTube on Friday, while stressing that there remains \u201ca lot of complexity with various stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that is directionally accurate in my perspective,\u201d he noted. \u201cThe CFTC is engaged in financial innovation overall and is focused on managing capital efficiency, along with leverage and derivatives products,\u201d he added, clarifying that this aligns with what the crypto sector is constructing, a new settlement layer that provides capital efficiency at varying speeds.<\/p>\n

Park also mentioned that treating crypto as a commodity is in harmony with the global nature of the market.<\/p>\n

Tether to enhance its push into commodity lending with cash, USDt credit<\/h2>\n

Stablecoin provider Tether is amplifying its involvement in commodity lending, with billions of dollars already invested in the domain, according to CEO Paolo Ardoino.<\/p>\n

In a conversation with Bloomberg<\/a>, Ardoino indicated that Tether has provided roughly $1.5 billion in credit to commodities traders to date, offering financing in both cash and its USDt (USDT) stablecoin.<\/p>\n

The firm is concentrating on traditional commodity transactions, including agricultural products and oil, and aims to expand its presence. \u201cWe are going to develop significantly,\u201d Ardoino remarked.<\/p>\n

The lending operations fall within Tether\u2019s newly established Trade Finance division \u2014 a sector that usually focuses on short-term credit utilized to support the movement of goods throughout global supply chains. In the commodities sector, trade finance generally supplies the funding traders require to acquire, transport, and deliver cargoes.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg noted that some enterprises might hesitate to borrow in USDt instead of dollars; however, that reluctance could be outweighed by Tether\u2019s growing financial influence. With nearly $184 billion worth of USDt in circulation, Tether is now among the most profitable companies globally<\/a> on a per-employee basis.<\/p>\n

Tether\u2019s venture into commodities builds upon its existing presence in the sector. Its tokenized gold offering, Tether Gold<\/a>, has expanded in scale during the bullion\u2019s surge, and Ardoino recently stated<\/a> that the firm possesses over 100 tons of physical gold.<\/p>\n
