Nambatac, TNT duel with Beermen for the league crown jewel

HE helplessly watched on the bench with a groin injury last season while TNT attempted in vain to ascend to the PBA Philippine Cup (PC) throne.

Now Rey Nambatac gets his chance to help the Tropang 5G complete the unfinished business in the All-Filipino and get back at conqueror San Miguel Beermen (SMB) in another blockbuster duel for the league’s crown jewel.

Mr. Nambatac, who sparked TNT’s epic 99-96 come-from-behind Game 5 clincher over Meralco in Game 5, looks to flash the deadly form that led to his Finals MVP-winning performance in their Season 49 Governors’ Cup title run as they take another shot at the PC trophy held by the Beermen.

The former Letran star actually dealt with back and ankle issues throughout the conference but managed to get back to near full-strength in time for the Last Dance.

“Hopefully because he’s gotten a lot of games now under his belt,” TNT coach Chot Reyes said of “Sting Rey” in the Power and Play program on Cignal.

The Tropang 5G and the Beermen go at it again beginning on Wednesday. This marks their third title dispute in the last four seasons, with SMB prevailing in the first two instances, 4-3 (Season 47) and 4-2 (Season 49).

But San Miguel Beermen titan June Mar Fajardo was quick to downplay past records. — Olmin Leyba

The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now

The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now

The post The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Healthy competition drives innovation and better products for consumers; it is at the center of American economic leadership. Unfortunately, now that the bipartisan GENIUS Act has been signed into law, major legacy financial institutions seem to be having second thoughts about the innovations that stablecoins can bring to financial markets. Bank lobbying groups and public affairs teams have been peppering Congress with complaints about the law, urging members to reopen debate and introduce changes to the legislation that will ensure the stablecoin market doesn’t grow too quickly, protecting banks’ profits and stifling consumer choice. This reactionary response is both overblown and unnecessary. What legacy financial firms should do instead is embrace competition and offer exciting new products and services that consumers want, not try to kneecap emerging players through anti-innovation rules and regulations. The GENIUS Act was carefully designed with a thorough bipartisan process to strengthen consumer safeguards, ensure regulatory oversight, and preserve financial stability. Efforts to roll back its provisions are less about protecting families and more about protecting entrenched banking interests from the competition that helps ensure the U.S. banking system stays the strongest and most innovative in the world. Critics warn that allowing stablecoins to provide rewards could lead to massive deposit outflows from community banks, with figures as high as $6.6 trillion cited. But closer examination shows this fear is unfounded. A July 2025 analysis by consulting firm Charles River Associates found no statistically significant relationship between stablecoin adoption and community bank deposit outflows. In fact, the overwhelming majority of stablecoin reserves remain in the traditional financial system — either in commercial bank accounts or in short-term Treasuries — where they continue to support liquidity and credit in the broader U.S. economy. The dire estimates rely on unrealistic assumptions that every dollar of stablecoin issuance permanently…
