Top Lawmaker Shuts Down Coinbase Plea for Interest-Bearing Stablecoins

As stablecoin legislation races toward the finish line in both chambers of Congress, crypto leaders have issued increasingly direct appeals to make those bills more favorable to their industry—but they're encountering resistance from lawmakers. One emergent sticking point has been whether U.S.-regulated stablecoins should be allowed to generate interest for holders moving forward. On Coinbase, for instance, users can currently earn 4.1% APY on their USDC deposits—an attractive feature that coul...

Stablecoin Legislation Shouldn’t Force Issuers to Comply With Bank Secrecy Act: Rep. Tom Emmer

In a potential sign of brewing tensions regarding key language in multiple stablecoin bills circulating in Congress, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) said this week he doesn’t believe stablecoin issuers like Tether should have to comply with the anti-money laundering Bank Secrecy Act—a major sticking point of both the Senate’s stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act, and the House’s parallel STABLE Act. Including such a provision in the legislation could box out foreign issuers while favoring U.S. co...

Could Robinhood and Revolut Find Stablecoin Success Where PayPal Stumbled?

Fintech heavyweights Robinhood, a U.S. investing app, and Revolut, a crypto-friendly neobank based in London, are considering launching their own stablecoins, unnamed sources told Bloomberg this week. The giants are eyeing the stablecoin market at a time when Tether (USDT), with its $119 billion market capitalization, accounts for roughly 68% of the $173.5 billion category. With Europe offering clearer regulatory frameworks, the fintech giants could bring a new wave of competition. However, the...

Retail Investors Can No Longer Mint USDC Directly Through Circle

USDC stablecoin issuer Circle will discontinue support for legacy consumer accounts, the company said on Tuesday. The USD Coin token is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, meaning that Circle maintains $1 in reserves—in cash or cash equivalents—to back each of the $25 billion worth of tokens in circulation. USDC is the second-most popular dollar-backed stablecoin behind Tether (USDT), which on Tuesday had a market capitalization of $85 billion, according to CoinGecko. “Circle is phasing out support...

Congress Is 'Starting From Scratch' on Stablecoin Legislation

Members of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee turned their attention to stablecoins Wednesday, picking up where they left off on regulation pushed back last year. But lawmakers said any progress made since then is tenuous at best. FSC ranking member Maxine Waters (D-CA) suggested that lawmakers are “starting from scratch” after Republicans made alterations to a bill that died on the vine last year ahead of the midterm election called the Stablecoin TRUST Act. Lawmakers’ most recent pass...

Circle To ‘Stand Behind’ USDC, Cover $3.3 Billion Shortfall Held in Silicon Valley Bank

USDC stablecoin issuer Circle has claimed that it will “cover any shortfall” caused as a result of the $3.3 billion in its funds held by the collapsed Silicon Valley Bank. In a blog post, Circle wrote that the company is legally obliged to “stand behind” USDC and will cover any shortfall using corporate resources—and "external capital if necessary"—to ensure that the stablecoin can be redeemed at a ratio of 1 for 1 with the U.S. Dollar. CEO Jeremy Allaire reiterated the commitment in a Twitter t...

Circle Reveals FTX Exposure, Says USDC Conversions on Binance Have Hurt Projections

The collapse of FTX and automatic conversions of USD Coin on Binance will cause Circle’s performance to be “materially lower” than the projections it made in February, the company said in a new regulatory filing. In it, Circle disclosed that the “tiny” FTX equity that Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire alluded to on Twitter last week is a $10.6 million investment the company made in the FTX Group, according to new regulatory filings. Relatively speaking, the $10.6 million probably is small for Circle....

Circle’s USDC Stablecoin Has Lost All Its Post-Terra Gains

After a 7-week rally in May and June that sent USD Coin’s market capitalization above $56 billion, an all-time high, Circle’s stablecoin has now lost all the ground it gained earlier this year. On Monday, USDC had a market cap of $46 billion—the lowest it’s been since January of this year. USDC was recently dealt a blow from an effort to “enhance liquidity and capital-efficiency” at Binance. At the start of September, the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume said that it would begin autom...

Tether’s Lead Over USDC Hits $16B as Binance Moves to Limit Stablecoin Competitors

For a while there, it looked like Circle’s USDC stablecoin was within range to overtake Tether, its biggest competitor. Starting in June and through the end of July, the gap between the two stablecoins’ market capitalizations hovered around $10 billion. While that’s still a pretty sizable lead, keep in mind that USDT and USDC started the year with $36 billion worth of daylight between them. But things have shifted dramatically since then.

The Big 'Winner' From the Crypto Crash? USDC Stablecoin

When Terra and its UST stablecoin collapsed last week in tandem with a marketwide crypto crash, things looked very shaky for crypto in general and stablecoins in particular. But the crash produced at least one winner in terms of market cap and, potentially, reputation: USDC stablecoin. As UST was headed for zero and USDT (Tether) was processing billions in redemptions, USDC was padding its market cap. At the start of the crash on May 8, USD Coin had a market capitalization between $48 billion an...
