Tandis que les stablecoins inquiètent de nombreuses banques centrales, la BCE adopte un ton étonnamment mesuré. Dans sa dernière revue de stabilité financière publiée le 20 novembre, elle estime que ces actifs ne représentent « qu’un risque limité » pour la zone euro. Une position rassurante, que l’institution justifie par une adoption encore marginale et un encadrement réglementaire déjà en place. Toutefois derrière ce calme apparent, la BCE appelle à la vigilance face à une évolution rapide du marché et aux risques transfrontaliers émergents. L’article Crypto : Les stablecoins ne menacent pas encore la stabilité de la zone euro selon la BCE est apparu en premier sur Cointribune.

WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Melania Trump welcomed this year’s Christmas tree to the White House on Monday. The tree, which came from Korson’s Tree Farms in Michigan, was delivered in a green horse-drawn carriage driven by three men wearing top hats.

By Robert Lloyd, Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Christmas, they say, comes once a year, but “once” now lasts for days and weeks and months, as Friday’s inflatable Frankenstein’s monster becomes Monday’s inflatable snowman. The yuletide is now upon us, even before Thanksgiving, its autumnal opening act, has served its first pumpkin pie. For someone growing up in Southern California, the season was largely understood through television, and old movies on television, where snow fell and sleighs slid and no one was walking around in shorts on Dec. 25. Back in the three-network, four-network and even five-network days, one could see all the specials and special episodes and still lead a relatively normal life. But in this time of many platforms (and with ever-more recycled content swelling the pot), one can go snow-blind. And so, to help you make your way through this blizzard, we are here, dependable as Santa, with the gift of a holiday guide. A caveat: I have watched only a couple of this year’s new programs, which are largely unavailable to see as of this writing. (Trailers were helpful.) In some cases, networks have provided only a vague indication of what’s in store. But years of experience tell me that there’s a good chance that what’s listed here will provide reliable entertainment, depending on your age, level of Grinchiness or how far you’ve gotten into the eggnog. Enjoy! Musical events to match the season ‘The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular’ (ABC, Dec. 1) Disney, which owns its own television network, always sets itself a place — or two —at this cross-promotional table, celebrating its 10th anniversary. New musical performances by host Derek Hough and other acts, including Aloe Blacc, Good Charlotte, Gwen Stefani and Trisha Yearwood, arrive from Florida’s Walt Disney World, Hawaii’s Aulani Resort & Spa and our own little Disneyland. For more of the same, and more, see “40th Anniversary Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade” below. ‘CMA Country Christmas’ (ABC, Dec. 2) Filmed at the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts in Nashville, the 16th annual edition of this special is hosted by Christian music superstar Lauren Daigle and hitmaker Jordan Davis, with appearances from Riley Green, Lady A, Little Big Town, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and the ever-present BeBe Winans. ‘Christmas in Rockefeller Center’ and ‘Christmas in Nashville’ (NBC, Dec. 3) Reba McEntire heads to New York to host a two-hour special, highlighted by the lighting of a really big tree in the network’s own backyard. Next we head to Music City, where you might have expected to find McEntire; who we will find is so far a mystery.

Expect something old, something new(er). ‘iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2025’ (ABC, Dec. 17) Something for the youngsters, as Ed Sullivan used to say. While the tour performers are known, the artists featured in the special are yet to be announced as of this writing. You will know some of them, all of them, or none of them. ’40th Anniversary Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade’ (ABC, Dec. 25) More or less live from (as above) Disney outposts in Orlando, Anaheim and Hawaii, the fun starts at 5 a.m. Pacific time (though at 10 a.m. on the East Coast, so I’m not sure how that works exactly). There will be stars, and if John Stamos isn’t among them, I’ll eat my Mouseketeer ears.

By Beth Dooley, The Minnesota Star Tribune The humble butternut squash is my go-to for a true autumn soup. The thin-skinned Cucurbita is plush, earthy and just a tad sweet. Delicious cubed and roasted or sautéed, when baked and puréed it becomes an especially versatile base for soup. Season it with curry spices, or the heat of Mexican chiles. Try whisking in miso, ginger and soy, or fragrant rosemary, parsley and thyme. Stick to Yankee-style cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and maple syrup with a shot of cider vinegar to keep things in line. Please, though, taste as you go and do not over season so the luscious nutty notes of the squash shine through.

Once it’s out of the oven, cook the squash with aromatics like shallot and garlic and enough stock to purée it into a thick, creamy soup without the addition of cream. Its golden hues and cozy texture are like that favorite sweater. This is the kind no-recipe dish to whip up on the fly, just right for a quick dinner when the winds howl and the temperatures drop. In the market, look for butternut squash with a long fat neck for more of the flesh; the seeds hide in the bulb. It should be heavy for its size, free of nicks and gashes. Store it in a cool dry place until ready to use. You can make this soup ahead; in fact, you should to give the flavors time to marry. The soup will keep in the fridge for at least three days and freezes nicely, too. Serve with a cheese toasty or a warm crusty baguette and tart green salad, for dinner in a bowl. Squash Soup Three Ways Serves 4 to 6 Customize this basic squash soup with different flavors depending on your mood. These are just suggestions, feel free to add your own. From Beth Dooley.

In a large heavy soup pot set over medium heat, add the oil or butter and sauté the onion and shallot until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Scoop the squash out of the peel and add to the pot; no worries if some of the peel ends up in the soup. Stir in the stock and purée using an immersion blender. (Alternatively, work in batches and purée in a stand blender and return soup to the pot.)
