Worldcoin: Strategic partnership
The cryptocurrency Worldcoin has announced a strategic partnership with Alchemy, a platform specialized in blockchain infrastructure and Web3. This partnership aims to create a solid and scalable infrastructure to drive mass adoption of this cryptocurrency, which has set its sights on Latin America, and facilitate its integration into decentralized applications (dApps) and Web3 services.

SEC opens the door to Solana ETF
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has initiated the process to evaluate a Solana ETF, with an October 11 deadline. This marks a significant shift, as the cryptocurrency has transitioned from being considered an unregistered security to an asset worthy of regulatory scrutiny. The decision could redefine Solana’s status and attract institutional investments, solidifying its role in the crypto ecosystem and challenging the traditional stance of the regulator.

Bitcoin and USDT in Turmoil for various reasons
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) dropped to USD 92,000 following Donald Trump’s announcement of increased tariffs on goods from Mexico, China, and Canada. Although the Mexican presidency managed to delay the measure, global uncertainty affected the markets, including cryptocurrencies. Days later, BTC showed signs of recovery, though with network activity at historic lows. This coincides with USDT being phased out in Europe due to the MiCA regulation, which demands greater transparency and verified reserves. Tether does not meet these requirements, leading exchanges to turn to more regulated stablecoins like USDC. However, in Asia, it continues to be supported by platforms like Binance and OKX.

Bitcoin is no longer El Salvador’s official currency
The Legislative Assembly of El Salvador approved a reform that revokes Bitcoin’s status as legal tender. This move is in response to the IMF’s demands for a USD 1.4 billion loan to the country. With this change, only the dollar will be accepted for tax payments. While the decision did not impact the global price of Bitcoin, it could affect perceptions of government adoption of cryptocurrencies.
