美國史上第一部穩定幣法案，最近在參議院正式通過。一通過，Circle 股價直接從 $31 飆到 $242，暴漲超過八倍。這不只象徵美國從打壓轉向擁抱加密貨幣，更讓一個人合法暴賺——川普。因為這條法案明文寫著：禁止官員持有或經營穩定幣，但總統、副總統除外。沒錯，川普家族最近推出的穩定幣 USD1，才剛透過阿布達比主權基金，完成 20 億美金的大交易。而真正賺最多利息的，可能還不是 Circle，而是背後坐收分潤的 Coinbase。這集我們就來聊聊：

I interviewed Max Branzburg, VP of Product at Coinbase, at the Coinbase State of Crypto Summit. We discussed Coinbase's crypto-backed loans, which allow users to borrow against their Bitcoin and receive the loan in USDC.

On this episode, we discuss the latest products coming to Coinbase as well as top user questions about coinbase. Coinbase allows borrowing against Bitcoin for USDC loans, with rates as low as 5%, no monthly payments, and up to $1,000,000 USDC available. ~This episode is sponsored by iTrust Capital~iTrustCapital | Get $100 Funding Reward + No Monthly Fees when you sign up using our custom link! ➜ https://bit.ly/iTrustPaulGuest: Max Branzburg, Head of Consumer Product, CoinbaseBuy $50 & Get $50 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/CBARRON00:00 Intro00:18 Sponsor: iTrust Capital01:20 Bitcoin backed loans03:30 Borrowed USDC can't be used for trading crypto?04:50 Coinbase One Card: Why only Bitcoin?06:45 How do you get on the list?07:53 Coinbase basic vs Regular Coinbase One09:20 Coinbase favoring Bitcoin over ETH?14:40 New customers18:30 Wen DEX trading?21:30 Coinbase prioritizing Aerodrome vs Uniswap?23:50 Will Coinbase take an added fees on DEX buys?24:06 Coinbase Fees27:30 Is Coinbase ONE Membership vs Robinhood Gold29:45 When Wallet Beta release?31:10 Account lockouts still a thing?34:40 Coinbase AI?36:00 Ready for bullrun?38:06 Outro#Coinbase #Crypto #Bitcoin~Coinbase Loans Skyrocketing

Circle's stock just tripled after going public, but behind the headlines is a much bigger story about the future of money. In this deep dive, we explain how stablecoins like USDC actually work, how Circle makes its money, and why global banks and regulators are racing to catch up. We break down the high-stakes rivalry with Tether, the Fed's influence on Circle's revenue, and the legislation that could reshape the industry. If Circle succeeds, it won't just be a crypto company; it could become the new backbone of global finance.This video is for informational purposes only and reflects the views of the host and guest, not Public Holdings or its subsidiaries.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by a special guest: Laura Shin, host of Unchained! The crew unpacks Circle's explosive IPO, Tether's threat to exit the U.S., and the meme-stock logic powering the rise of “crypto treasury companies.” From Coinbase's grip on USDC to Wall Street's sudden enthusiasm for stablecoins, we explore how public markets are reshaping crypto's power centers. Is Circle overvalued—or the last compliant winner left? And are ICOs really back? We debate whether crypto's just maturing—or if it's being hijacked by the suits. Show highlights

Bitcoin beweegt deze week rond de 108.000 dollar. De koers deed het deze week goed, met een lichte terugval na het onduidelijke handelsakkoord tussen de VS en China. Daarmee lijkt een aanval op het eerdere koersrecord van 111.800 dollar nabij. Een duidelijke aanleiding voor de koersstijging deze week is er niet, maar de rust op de financiële markten en structurele aankopen door bedrijven – groot én klein – zorgen voor een stevige ondergrond. Ethereum presteert opvallend beter dan Bitcoin en daar speelt een ander verhaal op de achtergrond. Want er is beweging in ETF-land. De succesvolle beleggingsproducten voor Bitcoin en Ethereum krijgen mogelijk gezelschap van soortgelijke fondsen voor altcoins. Analisten van Bloomberg achten de kans op goedkeuring voor ETF’s rond onder andere Litecoin en Solana op 90 procent, nog dit jaar. Ook XRP, Dogecoin, Cardano, Polkadot, HBAR en Avalanche maken kans. De Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC zou deze projecten behandelen als ‘commodity’ in plaats van ‘security’. Dat betekent minder zware regelgeving en opent de deur voor bredere adoptie. Toch leidde het nieuws niet overal tot koersstijgingen. Alleen Solana veerde zichtbaar op, al staat de munt nog ver onder het niveau van enkele maanden geleden. Ethereum zelf kreeg ook een boost, doordat de SEC vermoedelijk ‘staking’ goedkeurt voor de ETF’s. Dit mechanisme is essentieel voor het functioneren van het netwerk, vergelijkbaar met mining bij Bitcoin, en levert rendement op. Daarmee zouden beleggers in de Ethereum ETF straks mogelijk een jaarlijkse ‘yield’ ontvangen. Dat maakt de producten aantrekkelijker voor institutionele partijen die op zoek zijn naar rendement binnen risicovolle beleggingscategorieën. Ook stablecoins maken vaart, met nieuws uit de hoek van grote techbedrijven. Apple werkt aan een samenwerking met USDC-uitgever Circle, Airbnb kijkt naar een integratie via Worldpay, en X (voorheen Twitter) onderzoekt opties met fintechbedrijf Stripe. Daarmee lijkt Big Tech zich steeds nadrukkelijker te positioneren rond digitaal geld. Circle zelf is sinds vorige week beursgenoteerd. Het aandeel opende op 31 dollar, maar is inmiddels verdrievoudigd in waarde. Daarmee wordt het bedrijf, dat zich volledig richt op stablecoins, gewaardeerd op ruim 25 miljard dollar. Transparantie en regelconformiteit zijn kernwaarden van het bedrijf, dat zich daarmee onderscheidt van concurrent Tether. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Pim Swart en Remy van der Nagel over een Hyperliquid, een nieuw decentraal handelsplatform. Dat wint snel aan populariteit en de koers van de bijbehorende coin gaat ook rap. Sinds april van 10 dollar naar ruim 40 dollar opgelopen. Hyperliquid zou zomaar kunnen uitgroeien tot één van de supersterren van deze cryptocyclus, maar dan moet het wel zijn enorm ambitieuze beloftes waarmaken.

Daarmee lijkt Big Tech zich steeds nadrukkelijker te positioneren rond digitaal geld. Circle zelf is sinds vorige week beursgenoteerd. Het aandeel opende op 31 dollar, maar is inmiddels verdrievoudigd in waarde. Daarmee wordt het bedrijf, dat zich volledig richt op stablecoins, gewaardeerd op ruim 25 miljard dollar. Transparantie en regelconformiteit zijn kernwaarden van het bedrijf, dat zich daarmee onderscheidt van concurrent Tether. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Pim Swart en Remy van der Nagel over een Hyperliquid, een nieuw decentraal handelsplatform. Dat wint snel aan populariteit en de koers van de bijbehorende coin gaat ook rap. Sinds april van 10 dollar naar ruim 40 dollar opgelopen. Hyperliquid zou zomaar kunnen uitgroeien tot één van de supersterren van deze cryptocyclus, maar dan moet het wel zijn enorm ambitieuze beloftes waarmaken. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Circle, het Amerikaanse bedrijf achter de stablecoin USDC, maakte afgelopen week een opvallende entree op de beurs. Op de eerste handelsdag steeg het aandeel met 168 procent, gevolgd door nog eens 18 procent winst op vrijdag. Daarmee wordt het bedrijf gewaardeerd op zo’n 20 miljard dollar. Circle haalde bij de beursgang ruim 1 miljard dollar op en lijkt dat geld te willen gebruiken om hun positie als uitgever van gereguleerde stablecoins te versterken. Volgens CEO Jeremy Allaire is het belangrijk dat het bedrijf nu onder direct toezicht valt van de Amerikaanse toezichthouder. Hij ziet dat als een noodzakelijke stap richting volwassenheid en brede adoptie van hun stablecoin. Toch is het nog maar de vraag of concurrenten als Tether op vergelijkbare steun kunnen rekenen bij een eventuele beursgang. Circle positioneert zich nadrukkelijk als partij die wél openstaat voor transparantie en regulering, iets waar de grootste stablecoinuitgever Tether juist vaak kritiek op krijgt. Dat zorgt voor een duidelijke profilering in een markt waar vertrouwen een steeds grotere rol speelt. Tegelijkertijd liggen er risico’s op de loer. De markt voor stablecoins is nog volop in ontwikkeling en de afhankelijkheid van regelgeving kan voor Circle zowel een voordeel als een valkuil zijn. In het bredere beeld van stablecoins lijkt Circle met deze stap ook een bredere trend te bevestigen. De sector beweegt zich richting formele erkenning en integratie in het bestaande financiële systeem. De aankomende wetgeving in de Verenigde Staten speelt daarbij een belangrijke rol. Circle zou daarvan kunnen profiteren, maar ook te maken kunnen krijgen met striktere eisen aan kapitaal en rapportage. De komende maanden wordt duidelijk of andere partijen deze weg willen volgen en of er ruimte blijft voor verschillende modellen in de stablecoinmarkt. In de prijsanalyse bespreekt Tim Stolte de huidige stand van zaken op de markt. Bitcoin laat herstel zien na een periode van stilstand. Dat meerdere bedrijven recent Bitcoin aan hun balans toevoegden, lijkt een positief signaal, maar het effect op de koers blijft vooralsnog beperkt. Ook het nieuws dat JPMorgan klanten nu hun Bitcoin-ETF’s als onderpand laat gebruiken, draagt bij aan het beeld dat traditionele financiële instellingen zich steeds verder richting Bitcoin bewegen.

Digital asset roadmap: What's next for USDC, DeFi integration, and how this IPO signals institutional adoption for crypto? ⚡ But we're not stopping there! We'll also dive into the Elon Musk vs. President Trump feud—how their clash could influence tech stocks, EV subsidies, and crypto sentiment . Finally, we'll hit the charts hard with today's price action and key technical levels to watch.

The future of AI needs a new internet. Coinbase is laying the foundation. In this episode of The Index, host Alex Kehaya talks with Nemil Dalal, Head of Coinbase's Developer Program, about how Coinbase is building crypto-native infrastructure to power the next generation of applications, starting with autonomous AI agents.Nemil shares his background in crypto, from meeting Brian Armstrong at Y Combinator to helping scale USDC from $10 million to $1 billion in market cap. Today, he's focused on making blockchain development more accessible by reducing friction around payments, APIs, and onboarding.A key part of that effort is X402—Coinbase's implementation of the long-dormant HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code. X402 allows AI agents and applications to autonomously pay for API access using cryptocurrency, without the need for API keys, credit cards, or manual account setup.We break down how X402 works under the hood:API requests return a 402 response when payment is requiredAgents can immediately respond with a signed crypto transaction to unlock accessJust one line of JavaScript is needed to enable itThis simple standard opens the door to a wide range of use cases—from AI agents accessing paid services to developers integrating crypto-powered paywalls with minimal overhead.If you're building in Web3, working with AI, or developing APIs, this episode offers a practical look at how Coinbase is creating tools that make decentralized development more seamless and scalable.

In this week's episode of Fintech Recap, Jason Mikula and I break down a surprisingly busy run of headlines. The IPO window is open after all: eToro priced above its range, Circle (the issuer of the USDC stablecoin) is eyeing a debut, and we can't not dig into Chime's S-1. First up: the S-1 heard round the world. Chime has finally filed to go public, and it's … complicated. Is it a payments company? A bank in denial? We unpack the Rorschach test (Alex's gloss) that is Chime's business model. Plus, a look into Chime's $1.5B in marketing spend and the real question that's not really a question but a comment: Chime still hasn't cracked credit in a compelling way? Next, it's the open banking implosion no one saw coming. The CFPB's open banking rule (Section 1033) could be overturned (yes, everything the CFPB has done since 2022 could be wiped off the map, including 1033). Jason and I walk through how the legal and regulatory whiplash could kill the broader API economy, spark a screen scraping renaissance, and more. Then, stablecoin legislation enters the chat. The GENIUS Act (yes, that's the real name) is gaining steam in Congress, but the fine print matters. We dig into what the bill actually allows (yield or no yield?), what banks are really scared of, and why the next few years could make or break trust in digitally-issued (nonbank) monies. Plus, we can't let go of the recent NYC crypto kidnapping straight out of Law & Order. When you're self-custodying and everyone knows what your “bank” holds, well … maybe the next era of crypto will finally learn what old money always knew: real wealth whispers.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1055: Today we cover Stellantis' new CEO facing a storm of tariffs and dealer tensions, GM's surprising pivot back to big V-8s, and DeLorean's futuristic EV launch… that's more crypto maze than car.Show Notes with links:After a six-month search, Stellantis has named Antonio Filosa as its new CEO. With more than 25 years in the industry and leadership experience across Brazil, North America, and global roles, Filosa is stepping in as the company faces pressure on multiple fronts.Filosa starts as CEO on June 23, replacing Carlos Tavares after his December resignation.Currently COO for the Americas and global chief quality officer, he's credited with restoring confidence internally.Challenges include reversing a 10% Q1 shipment drop, regaining dealer trust, and addressing a potential $7.1B hit from Trump's proposed 25% tariffs.Filosa has reinstalled key leadership—bringing back Ram's Tim Kuniskis and U.S. sales head Jeff Kommor—to stabilize operations.“One of my first decisions has been to bring back talents that we lost in the past,” Filosa told reporters in January.The EV slowdown has prompted General Motors to double down on internal combustion, shelving a $300 million plan for EV motors at its Tonawanda, NY plant and instead committing a massive $888 million to next-gen V-8 engine production.The site will continue producing Gen 5 V-8s while ramping up for Gen 6 engines by 2027.New engines will feature performance-boosting and emission-cutting innovations.Investment includes machinery, tooling, and facility upgrades—the largest ever for a GM engine plant.New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the project will support 870 jobs at Tonawanda Propulsion, including 177 jobs deemed at risk“This investment shows the company's commitment to strengthening American manufacturing,” said CEO Mary Barra.The DeLorean Alpha5 EV promised a high-tech return to the future, but it's now stuck in development limbo, with no production timeline or pricing—and buyers are being asked to reserve with cryptocurrency and NFTs.Reservations require $2,500 in USDC crypto via a specialized Slush Wallet and purchase of an NFT.No refunds are offered—buyers can resell their spot in line to recoup funds.Fewer than 600 reservations have been made, with some resale spots priced up to $40,000.The Alpha5, if it arrives, will offer 300+ miles of range and sub-3-second 0-60 performance.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

As CEO & Co-Founder of Sling Money, Mike is transforming how we think about sending funds across borders by making international transfers as effortless as sending a text message.During our conversation, Mike reveals how a personal experience moving USDC between the UK and San Francisco sparked his vision. The transfer itself was instant and free, but everything around it felt clunky – "like using a Unix command line from the 80s." This insight led him to create what he calls "the macOS or iPhone of stablecoins," abstracting away all of the complexity. Sling's elegant approach allows users to add money through local payment methods in 75 countries, convert to stablecoins behind the scenes, and send funds globally in just seconds. Recipients can withdraw to their local currency almost instantly, never needing to understand the underlying technology. The use cases range from practical (managing finances across multiple countries) to spontaneous (buying someone a beer across continents) – transactions that were previously impossible or prohibitively expensive.Mike places this innovation in a fascinating historical context, comparing the evolution of international payments to what happened with telecommunications and streaming video. Just as we no longer think twice about "long-distance calls," he envisions a future where the concept of "international payments" disappears entirely.Ready to experience the future of global money transfer?
