White House backs stablecoin yield proposal, challenging banking lobby
The White House Council of Economic Advisers endorsed a plan allowing stablecoin issuers to pay yield to investors, directly confronting banks’ opposition. Officials say banning such yields would only raise bank lending by $2.1 billion, a mere 0.02% of total loans.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) slid more than 5% in the past 24 hours, dropping to $0.00000951 from $0.00001018, as Bitcoin fell below its 200‑day simple moving average and the broader crypto market turned risk‑off. Despite a weekly token‑burn surge of 139.46%—over 1 million SHIB removed from circulation—selling pressure persisted, driven by whales moving more than 40 billion tokens to major exchanges. A late‑session bounce briefly lifted SHIB 1.46% to $0.00000971, but the price remained trapped between support at $0.00000955‑$0.00000970 and resistance near $0.00001021. The CoinDesk 5 Index also fell 3.43%, underscoring the bearish momentum across the sector.
