    India May Finally Rethink Crypto Rules | CBDT Consultation Explained

    India’s crypto industry has been weighed down by a 30% flat tax, a 1% TDS on every trade, and a ban on offsetting losses. The result? Talent and capital moving abroad, with Dubai emerging as the new hub. But now, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) is asking tough questions: Should TDS be lowered? Should losses be offset like in stocks? Who should regulate crypto - RBI, SEBI, or a new body? In this episode of Block Recap, we break down what’s on the table, why global trends matter, and what India’s first industry-led model law, the COINS Act 2025, could mean for the future of crypto in India. 🎧 Available on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.

    South Korea’s Crypto Playbook: Stablecoins & the Digital Won

    South Korea now trades more crypto than stocks - with 19 million investors and daily volumes topping over $18 billion. But this isn't a free-for-all. In this episode, we dive into the Digital Asset Basic Act (DABA) - Korea’s bold move to regulate stablecoins, exchanges, and the entire crypto ecosystem. From real-name trading to government-approved stablecoin issuers, Korea is crafting one of the world’s most comprehensive crypto frameworks. We also compare it to the U.S. approach with the GENIUS Act, and explore what’s at stake: global digital money, financial sovereignty, and the role of the won in a USDT-dominated world. Two countries. Two paths. One race to define the future of money.

    Orbital: Rethinking Stablecoin Liquidity

    Stablecoins are everywhere, but swapping between them is still clunky and inefficient with today's infrastructure. In this episode, we explore Orbital, a bold new Automated Market Maker (AMM) design that could change how thousands of stablecoins interact. It reimagines liquidity using spheres, not lines, letting liquidity providers (LPs) concentrate capital across many assets with more flexibility and efficiency. We keep the math light but the insights deep. If you're curious about the future of stablecoin infrastructure, this one's for you. Relevant link: https://www.paradigm.xyz/2025/06/orbital

    Circle’s IPO & The Silent Reinvention of the U.S. Dollar

    In 1994, the world agreed that the U.S. dollar would be the primary currency for global trade. In 2024, stablecoins are doing the same, but in code. Circle’s $6.8B IPO isn’t just another tech listing - it’s the official Wall Street endorsement of programmable dollars. In this episode of Block Recap, we unpack why this changes everything: from U.S. debt demand and monetary policy to how freelancers in third-world countries get paid. How do stablecoins impact the Fed’s control over the dollar? Why is PayPal’s or Circle's stablecoin more dangerous to banks than Tether? And what happens when wallets, not governments, become the gatekeepers of money? This isn’t crypto hype. It’s a macro transformation, hiding in plain sight.

What followed was one of the most closely watched legal battles in crypto history. With the final verdict still hanging in the balance and regulatory clarity on the line, the future of XRP, and perhaps crypto itself, could hinge on what happens next.
