President Donald Trump's controversial White House ballroom project is facing massive public opposition, with 97 percent of over 35,000 comments filed with the National Capital Planning Commission opposing the plan. Trump demolished the East Wing without following regular procedures to make room for the massive structure, which is more than twice the size of the central White House building. The project's cost continues escalating, with Trump pledging private donations to fund construction, though this raises conflicts of interest concerns. Public comments range from criticism of the unauthorized $300 million expenditure to concerns about destroying historic President's Park. Even Trump supporters are objecting. Jim Cunningham, a Pennsylvania GOP leader who voted for Trump three times, stated the White House "belongs to the American people" and "isn't his personal property." The ballroom is one of several grand Trump tribute projects planned.

Inside Coinbase’s $2.5B BVNK deal – Could this be crypto’s ‘new Western Union’ moment?

The post Inside Coinbase’s $2.5B BVNK deal – Could this be crypto’s ‘new Western Union’ moment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Why is this acquisition significant for Coinbase? It would strengthen Coinbase’s role in the stablecoin payments market, which is becoming a major revenue source. How important are stablecoins to Coinbase’s business now? Stablecoins accounted for about 20% of Coinbase’s total income in Q3, mostly through its partnership with Circle (USDC). Coinbase is reportedly in advanced discussions to acquire London-based stablecoin infrastructure firm BVNK in a deal that could be valued between $1.5 billion and $2.5 billion, according to sources familiar with the matter, as reported by Bloomberg.

Driven by our mission to expand economic freedom globally, we actively explore various opportunities — whether through building, acquiring, partnering, or investing — to advance our mission.” If completed, the deal would expand Coinbase’s role in the stablecoin payments ecosystem, which accelerated after the United States introduced its first stablecoin regulatory framework earlier this year. How will this help Coinbase? The move aligns with the exchange’s strategic push to deepen its stake in the stablecoin economy, which has quickly evolved into a key revenue pillar. That said, stablecoins accounted for nearly 20% of Coinbase’s total income in Q3, reflecting growing reliance on interest earnings and payment volume.
