Alex Eala in action at home? WTA adds Philippine stop

2025/11/27 12:32

MANILA, Philippines – Alex Eala gets a chance to dazzle at home as the WTA Tour finally includes a stop in the country.

Following a historic year that saw her climb to the top 50 in the world, Eala is expected to banner the Philippine Women’s Open slated from January 26 to 31.

The tournament is a WTA 125 event and will feature 32 singles and 16 doubles players.

But there is a possible schedule conflict for Eala as she is also scheduled to compete in the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the year that will run from January 12 to February 1.

It will be the first Australian Open main draw appearance for Eala, who has earned automatic entry to all of the four Grand Slams by virtue of being in the top 100.

Eala never made it past the first round of the Australian Open qualifiers in three tries, losing to Croatia’s Jana Fett last year.

That early exit, though, followed a meteoric rise as Eala reached the semifinals of the Miami Open, becoming the first Filipina to do so in a WTA 1000 event, and she cracked the top 100 for the first time.

Eala continued her ascension in the world rankings as she advanced to her first WTA final in the Eastbourne Open, claimed her first Grand Slam win by beating Denmark’s Clara Tauson in the US Open, then won her first WTA Challenger title by ruling the Guadalajara Open.

But before she turns her focus on next year, Eala still has a couple of events lined up for 2025.

The 20-year-old might she action in the Southeast Asian Games in Thailand and she is lined up for the Macau Masters, with both contests happening in December. – Rappler.com

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…
