Crypto.news - The race for stablecoin supremacy heats up as industry experts debate Tether’s role and new players like PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) enter the arena.

Bloomberg Intelligence expert Jamie Coutts pointed to Ethereum’s (ETH) growing dominance, highlighted by key network adoption metrics and layer-2 projects like Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base.

He anticipates that Ethereum’s scaling roadmap will drastically lower layer-2 transaction costs, thanks to the forthcoming EIP-4844. This comes as PayPal recently debuted its PYUSD stablecoin, fueling speculation that it might develop its own layer-2 network.

The biggest new memecoin of 2023, Pepe (PEPE), suffered one of the worst possible fates that can befall a new crypto asset — a partial rug pull after its anonymous developers abruptly sold nearly $16 million worth of the token on Aug. 24.

The official Pepe X (formerly known as Twitter) account explained the drop was due to “three ex-team members” going behind their back and selling the tokens without their knowledge — a move that saw the price of Pepe plummet as much as 26% in the days following, without much respite.

There are hopes that the United States could see a new crypto resurgence after several rulings this year have seen court judges “rein in the SEC,” according to a digital asset lawyer from K&L Gates.

On Aug. 31, Jeremy McLaughlin, a partner at the global law firm, noted that multiple U.S. court cases have stomped on arguments from Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who has said that almost all digital assets are securities.
