- 00:18The Bank of Canada will only approve high-quality stablecoins pegged to central bank digital currencyBlockBeats News, December 17th - The Bank of Canada has explicitly stated that under its upcoming stablecoin regulations expected in 2026, it will only approve "high-quality" stablecoins pegged to central bank currencies to ensure they become "sound money." "We want stablecoins to be sound money, like banknotes or bank deposits," Governor Tiff Macklem said on Tuesday at the Montreal Chamber of Commerce. Macklem demanded that stablecoins must maintain a 1:1 peg to central bank currency and be backed by "high-quality liquid assets" that can be easily converted to cash, usually including treasury bills and government bonds. This statement follows the lengthy "2025 Budget Report" released by Canada in early November, which outlined that stablecoin issuers will be required to hold sufficient reserves, establish redemption policies, and implement various risk management frameworks, including protecting personal and financial data. "The goal is to ensure that Canadians can safely leverage the innovative potential of stablecoins," Macklem said.

This fleet will only continue to grow, and they will suffer unprecedented blows—until they return all the oil, land, and other assets previously stolen from us. Trump also stated that the Venezuelan regime has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Therefore, he has ordered a comprehensive and thorough blockade of all sanctioned tankers entering and leaving Venezuela. He accused this "illegal" regime of using oil obtained from these stolen oil fields to fund itself, terrorism, human trafficking, murder, and kidnapping. This move marks an escalation of pressure by the Trump administration on Maduro. Last week, the United States seized a sanctioned tanker off the coast of Venezuela.
