As crypto expands beyond trading into payments, stablecoins, tokenized assets and AI-powered applications, wallets are rapidly evolving. Tangem believes the next generation of users won’t simply store crypto, they’ll actively use it every day. CryptoDaily UK sat down with Tangem Co-founder, CTO and Head of Product, Andrey Lazutkin to discuss why self-custody is entering a new phase, what’s holding mainstream adoption back, and why wallets are becoming the operating system for on-chain finance. “Five years from now, people won’t think about self-custody as a technical feature. They’ll simply think of it as the natural way to own and manage their money.” Self-custody is becoming infrastructure, not just ideology For years, self-custody was largely viewed as crypto’s ideological cornerstone. But according to Andrey Lazutkin, that conversation has fundamentally c

The post India’s Central Bank Renews Push to Keep Crypto Out of the Financial System appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the country’s central bank, has reiterated its support for a cryptocurrency policy that favors a prohibition-oriented approach. The RBI wants banks and financial institutions barred from any exposure to crypto assets and privately issued stablecoins. Why India’s Central Bank Leans Toward Crypto Prohibition The RBI has warned about crypto risks repeatedly and now argues for policies “leaning towards prohibition,” according to documents reviewed this week by Reuters. It wants digital assets kept outside the regulated financial system. Officials say the aim is to limit contagion risks to lenders. The stance revives a fight the RBI lost in 2018, when a court struck down policies that had effectively banned crypto dealings. Since then, digital assets have existed in a grey zone. Indian banks are currently allowed to engage with cryptocu

The post Base To Launch B20 Standard For Fungible Tokens On Mainnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base is set to activate its B20 token standard on mainnet, introducing a native framework for stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and other fungible tokens. According to Base documentation, B20 is scheduled to go live at 6 pm UTC on the mainnet, enabling developers to begin creating tokens under the new standard. The activation will enable developers to use Base’s native token standard to create stablecoins, RWAs, tokenized equities and other fungible tokens without requiring them to build and audit custom ERC-20 contracts. The standard supports two variants: asset and stablecoin. The asset variant has configurable decimals between six and 18, while the stablecoin variant has fixed six-decimal formatting and requires issuers to specify a fiat currency denomination, such as the US dollar or euro. B20 supports two variants. Source:
