Stablecoin issuance, market share, depegs, and reserve backing across USDT, USDC, DAI, and other major stablecoins.
First US national bank to put a dollar-pegged token directly in retail customers' wallets — and the real bid is the 15M-user distribution rails crypto-native issuers like Tether and Circle never had.
The duopoly still controls 80%+ of supply, but the real contest is no longer on-chain dollars vs banks — it's banks quietly routing trillions through their own permissioned ledgers, with stablecoins…
Stable, a blockchain network built around Tether's USDT, has launched a dedicated institutional yield product — giving…
The 1-of-3 multisig meant a single compromised key was enough to mint millions in unbacked tokens — the structural flaw MiCA was supposed to price out of the market just did.
The dollar-pegged token economy is now larger than the sovereign buffers of the UK, Canada, the UAE and dozens of EMDEs — a structural shift in where global dollar liquidity actually sits.
Allaire frames the post-GENIUS Act fight as one over distributor rewards, not issuer yield — and pitches the next phase as a software-style showdown with traditional finance.
Tether is reportedly working with a Georgian state official to launch a USDT-style rail — a parallel track to the U.S.
The Binance founder's reversal is notable because it tracks two trends he called early and wrong: a roughly year-and-a-half-old RWA market and a $200B stablecoin sector he wrote off a decade back.
Weekly DEX volumes softened and Strategy and Bitmine paused — but corporate treasuries still added $47.5M of BTC, showing the bid hasn't fully stepped away.
GELT is Tether's fourth jurisdiction-specific fiat stablecoin and the first launched with explicit government backing, designed for substantive compatibility with the U.S. GENIUS Act framework.
The launch pairs Tether with a sovereign backer, sidesteps USDT, and explicitly aligns Georgia's framework with the U.S. GENIUS Act — a template other non-dollar economies may copy.
Tether is partnering with the Georgian government to launch GEL₮, a stablecoin pegged to the Georgian Lari, under the…
Backed by Tether and Kraken, StablR had no structural defense against a 1-of-3 multisig compromise — the attacker minted unbacked EURR and USDR and drained liquidity into ETH before anyone could…
The dollar figure is tiny next to Visa's $14.5T annual volume, but 76% of agent payments fall under the 30¢ floor where card rails break — that's why Coinbase, Stripe, Google and Visa are all…
On-chain investigator ZachXBT has flagged an active exploit targeting StablR-linked stablecoin contracts, with losses…
Lagarde told EU finance ministers that letting issuers tap ECB liquidity would pull deposits out of the banking system — a position that puts the ECB at odds with euro stablecoin backers warning of…
A cross-chain week of stablecoin plumbing: PumpFun adopts USDC pairs, Sui waives gas on stablecoin transfers, and BNB Chain publishes a post-quantum roadmap — small upgrades, sector-wide signal.
Lagarde's ECB is standing in front of the gate the industry wants opened — and Bruegel's warning of 'digital dollarization' shows the cost of holding it shut is itself a policy choice.
The 37-bank consortium must close a roughly 450-to-1 liquidity gap versus USDT and USDC by the time tokenized EU assets pick a settlement default — and that window closes the moment European bond and…
