Ahlan wa sahlan, and welcome to the 89th edition of CoinMENA's weekly newsletter, Kalam Crypto. This week, Nomura bank launched a Bitcoin Adoption Fund, Microstrategy bought more bitcoin, SBF crime family saga continues, and poetic justice for a U.S. senator who opposed El Salvador's bitcoin adoption. All that and more, so let's dive into this week's letter, and talk crypto. Blog of The Week ✍️ The killer application of crypto is here (almost): Check out our CEO's latest blog post about how crypto can improve people's lives today!

Today Bennett and Cas are joined by Leo Schwartz from Fortune to discuss his feature article about Circle, USDC, and why the stablecoin can't seem to overtake Tether in marketcap or volume. Read the article here.

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Cuy Sheffield are back this week, this time talking all things USDC settlement, CBDCs and the difference between CBDCs and stablecoins. Following our discussion around the development of stablecoin in our last episode, we thought it would be fitting to dive deeper into another type of digital currency that is closely related to fiat, CBDC, or Central Bank Digital Currency. Banks are looking to CBDCs as a form of currency that expedites transactions and increases the security of payments between banks, institutions, and individuals and we look at the biggest news stories and developments around the world for CBDCs. Not only that but Visa has some news of its own: Just last week, Visa expanded its use of US Dollar Coin (USDC) for digital currency settlement, adding pilot programs globally with WorldPay, Nuvei, and Xapo, modernising large value, cross-border payments, for end-to-end digital currency settlement over blockchain. We get into that and much more! We are also joined by some amazing guests: * Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle * Mina Khattak, Senior Director of Crypto, at Worldpay * Catherine Gu, Head of CBDC & Protocols, Visa Just a quick reminder - nothing we share here is legal, tax or financial advice. Views or opinions expressed by the panel are their own and do not necessarily reflect the view of the entities they are representing. This episode is sponsored by Visa. This episode is brought to you by Visa, one of the world's leaders in digital payments. Crypto has opened up a new world of possibilities, and Visa's helping everyone take part. Consumers now can enjoy the freedom and flexibility of using their Visa crypto-linked cards for everyday purchases at millions of Visa-accepting merchant locations around the world.

It's been a busy year for USDC issuer Circle, with several new product launches and partnerships, a crypto banking crisis to contend with, the entry of PayPal into the stablecoin business, and plenty of new global regulatory developments, including a bill in the U.S. now making its way through Congress. Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire joins Unchained for an in-depth discussion on the reasons behind Coinbase's investment in Circle, how Circle has emerged stronger from the banking crisis, what he thinks of PYUSD, what he likes and doesn't like about the current U.S. stablecoin bill, and his thoughts on what the final bill will look like. Show highlights:Why Circle and Coinbase created the Center Consortium and why Coinbase acquired a stake in Circle?Whether Circle is aiming to be acquired or become a public company, and why Jeremy is pursuing a "multi-decade" strategy.Why Circle partnered with MercadoLibre and the stablecoin usage in Latin America?How the company has been supporting developers to build applications.Why Circle is launching native USDC on so many new blockchains?What the purpose of cross-chain transfer protocol (CCTP) is and what the big problems with bridges are.How Circle responded to Silicon Valley Bank's collapse and why the world began to feel that "it's not safe to be exposed to the US."Jeremy's thoughts on the launch of PayPal's stablecoin, PYUSD.Why is having stablecoin legislation a "national priority," according to Jeremy?Why Jeremy is a proponent of a fully reserved banking system?Why did he think the US needs to "aggressively" take action to preserve the global reserve currency status of the US dollar?How China's national digital currency is likely to develop.How crypto can provide a better way of support identity without giving up privacy?Why blockchain technology is much more than just a financial regulatory matter?Unchained Podcast is Produced by Laura Shin Media, LLC.

Visa's interest in Solana is a significant development in the world of blockchain and payments. Solana is a high-performance blockchain network that can process up to 50,000 transactions per second (TPS). This makes it much faster than traditional payment networks like Visa, which can only process around 24,000 TPS. Solana is also much cheaper than traditional payment networks, with transaction fees of just a few cents.Visa's deep dive into Solana suggests that the company is seriously considering using the blockchain network for its payments processing. This could be a major boost for Solana, as it would help to legitimize the network and attract more users and developers.The move is even more interesting in light of Visa's recent exploration of Solana for its stablecoin pilot. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are pegged to a fiat currency, such as the US dollar. They are often used as a way to transfer value between different blockchains or to make payments. Visa is reportedly exploring using Solana to settle its USDC stablecoin transactions. This would allow Visa to move money more quickly and cheaply than it currently does.Meanwhile, Stellar (XLM) has refreshed its branding with Idris Elba. Stellar is a blockchain network that is designed to facilitate cross-border payments. It is often seen as a competitor to Ripple (XRP), another blockchain network that is used for cross-border payments.The rebranding of Stellar with Idris Elba is a sign that the company is serious about growing its user base and expanding its reach. Idris Elba is a well-known actor and musician who has a large following on social media. His association with Stellar could help to attract new users to the network.Overall, the interest of Visa and Idris Elba in Solana and Stellar are positive developments for the blockchain industry. They suggest that these blockchain networks are seen as viable alternatives to traditional payment networks. This could lead to increased adoption of blockchain technology for payments in the future.Here are some of the reasons why Solana could be a game-changer in the payments ecosystem:Speed: Solana can process transactions much faster than traditional payment networks. This could make it a more attractive option for businesses that need to process payments quickly.Scalability: Solana is designed to be scalable, so it can be used to handle even the most demanding payment processing needs.Security: Solana is a secure blockchain network, so businesses can be confident that their transactions are safe.Cost-effectiveness: Solana is a cost-effective blockchain network, so businesses can save money on their payment processing costs.If Solana can live up to its potential, it could revolutionize the way we pay for goods and services. It could make payments faster, cheaper, and more secure. This could have a major impact on the global economy.

Visa's expansion of its stablecoin settlement to Solana is a significant development in the adoption of cryptocurrencies by mainstream financial institutions. Solana is a high-performance blockchain that is capable of processing thousands of transactions per second, with very low fees. This makes it well-suited for use in high-volume settlement applications.Visa's decision to use Solana for its stablecoin settlement is a vote of confidence in the network's scalability and efficiency. It is also a sign that Visa is serious about exploring the use of cryptocurrencies in its payments infrastructure.The Solana community is excited about this partnership because it validates the network's potential as a major player in the global payments landscape. It also opens up the possibility of other major financial institutions adopting Solana for their settlement needs.The benefits of using Solana for stablecoin settlement include:Faster transactions: Solana can process thousands of transactions per second, which is much faster than traditional payment networks. This can help to reduce settlement times and improve the efficiency of cross-border payments.Lower fees: Solana's fees are very low, which can help to save businesses money on their settlement costs.Scalability: Solana is designed to be scalable, so it can be used to handle even the most demanding settlement volumes.Security: Solana is a secure network, which is important for businesses that need to protect their financial data.The partnership between Visa and Solana is a significant step forward for the adoption of cryptocurrencies by mainstream financial institutions. It is also a major boost for the Solana community, which is now one step closer to becoming a leading player in the global payments landscape.Here are some additional thoughts on the implications of this partnership:It could lead to more mainstream adoption of stablecoins. Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that is pegged to a fiat currency, such as the US dollar. They are often used as a way to avoid the volatility of other cryptocurrencies. The fact that Visa is using a stablecoin for settlement shows that it sees them as a legitimate payment instrument.It could encourage other financial institutions to adopt Solana. Visa is a major player in the payments industry, and its decision to use Solana could encourage other financial institutions to do the same. This would help to increase the demand for Solana and drive up its price.It could boost the development of Solana-based applications. The more adoption Solana gets, the more developers will be incentivized to build applications on the network. This could lead to the development of new and innovative financial products and services.Overall, the partnership between Visa and Solana is a positive development for the cryptocurrency industry. It is a sign that mainstream financial institutions are starting to take cryptocurrencies seriously, and it could lead to wider adoption of stablecoins and other blockchain-based technologies.

Welcome back everyone, it's Friday August twenty fifth, twenty three, and this is your weekly Crypto review. Here are some highlights to bring you up to speed…The Biden administration unveils new crypto tax reporting rules, stating Cryptocurrency brokers, including exchanges and payment processors, would have to report new information on users' sales and exchanges of digital assets to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under a proposed U.S. Treasury Department rule published on Friday. The rule is part of a broader push by Congress and regulatory authorities to crack down on crypto users who may be failing to pay their taxes. For more on Crypto taxation and accounting, be sure to check out part one of our Web3 Unpacked accounting episodes.Coinbase Global, the company behind the largest crypto exchange in the U.S., announced Monday that it acquired an equity stake in Circle Internet Financial, the issuer of USDC, the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization.Bitcoin's mining difficulty level reached an all-time high of 55.62 trillion hashes this week. According to Bitfinix analysts, the increase in mining difficulty suggests "miners believe the current BTC level is fairly valued, or maybe a little under priced of its true value."The controversial crypto project co-created by Sam Altman saw its WLD token drop 9.1% over the past 24 hours and 43.6% over the past 30 days. Despite launching only recently, Worldcoin finds itself facing regulatory headwinds due to concerns over data privacy. The backlash has led to the exclusion of U.S. residents from purchasing or trading the token, exacerbating selling pressure.XRP whale moves 29 million tokens to Bitstamp amid price slide.and finally… Shopify, the cornerstone of global e-commerce facilitating transactions worth a staggering $444 billion worldwide, has opened its doors to Solana Pay. This collaboration enables millions of businesses operating on the Shopify platform to offer their customers Solana Pay as a secure payment option. This is a very good thing, GO Shopify and Solana!Thank you for tuning in, for more insights into the world of Web3, and how to navigate the rapidly changing crypto and blockchain landscape, visit MVMT dot Media and look for Web3 Unpacked podcasts on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.The information provided in this broadcast represents the sole opinions of MVMT and should not be construed as financial advice.

Welcome to today's episode of "GM Web3," where we dive into the latest developments in the world of finance, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology.In our previous episode, we saw a robust day in the equities market, with NVIDIA leading the way with an impressive 8% surge in their stock price, thanks to their stellar earnings report. However, today presents a different picture as stocks have taken a downturn. The spotlight has also shifted to interest rates, which have pulled back from their recent highs.One noteworthy indicator of the economy's health is the initial jobless claims report, and it's signaling strength in the labor force. This suggests a positive outlook for the job market.Turning our attention to the world of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin made a quick upward move, but it seems to have plateaued once again. Interestingly, the funding dynamics for Bitcoin and Ethereum are indicating a growing short position in the market. This could be due to a major fund hedging their bets, possibly against assets like NVIDIA stock. Our friends at OSF view this as bullish news for the short term, especially over the next couple of days.A significant development in the crypto space is the movement of funds off exchanges. A staggering 200 million dollars were moved off exchanges just yesterday, hinting at large players stashing their assets in cold storage. This move could have substantial implications for the market.Shifting gears to blockchain technology, Shopify is making waves by considering the use of USDC on the Solana blockchain. This move has the potential to gain popularity as it would substantially reduce transaction fees when compared to traditional credit card payments.Lastly, we're excited about the upcoming Korea Blockchain Week, where we anticipate the convergence of artists, blockchain founders, and new enthusiasts. This event promises to be a hub of innovation and collaboration in the blockchain space.That's a wrap for today's "GM Web3" podcast. Stay tuned for more updates on the ever-evolving world of finance, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology.GM! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The great crypto crash of 2022 was spectacular, to say the least. $2 trillion evaporated seemingly overnight. FTX collapsed. The price of Bitcoin fell to $18,000 in June 2022 just one year after it reached an all time high price of $69,000. The stablecoin company Circle was not also not spared. It lost half its valuation, had to delay going public, and was impacted by the SVB collapse. But things have turned around for Circle. It's USDC stablecoin regained its dollar peg in March and there is $26 billion of it in circulation. In today's episode of Leadership Next, Circle CEO and co-founder Jeremy Allaire joins hosts Alan Murray and Michal Lev-Ram to discuss how Circle, and the entire crypto industry, is pulling itself out of last year's wreckage. He compares the crypto crash of 2022 to the dot com bust of the late 90s and predicts that crypto will one day be as ubiquitous as the internet. Allaire also discusses the underlying value of crypto beyond being a speculative asset and how Circle's focus on stablecoins sets them apart. He also shares his take on the importance of the regulation of crytpo, both by the U.S. government and global bodies. Additionally, Allaire talks about the increasing role of traditional finance institutions in the crypto market and Circle's partnership with the UN to make USDC usable by Ukrainian refugees Leadership Next is powered by Deloitte.
