The thing nobody talks about with most DeFi chains: Every app has its own liquidity, so you get bad prices, thin books and slow settlement. And they call it an "ecosystem." @TxFlow_L1 built it so spot, perps, prediction markets and vaults all share the same pool with no bridges and one settlement layer 250K TPS, built different

Coinbase helped build the stablecoin that made Circle a public company. Now it just helped build the one designed to replace it. The company is USDC. The rival is Open USD. Coinbase co-founded USDC's original governance structure, Centre Consortium, with Circle back in 2018. In 2023, the two dissolved it. Circle paid Coinbase roughly $210 million in stock to buy out its remaining stake, and USDC became Circle's alone to govern. Coinbase took equity in Circle instead of control over the coin. Three years later, Coinbase is walking back into the exact same room, this time with 140 other companies standing behind it. On June 30th, a coalition including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, Google, and Coinbase launched Open USD. It does one specific thing Circle has never been willing to do: give away the yield. USDC's issuer keeps nearly all the interest earned on its reserves. Over 90% of Circle's revenue comes from that spread. Open USD hands almost all of it back to the distributors who mint and hold it instead. Circle's stock dropped 17.5% the day it was announced. Down nearly 40% for the month. Here's why Coinbase's signature matters more than anyone else's on that list. Coinbase isn't a bystander in USDC's success, it's the reason USDC has scale. Coinbase holds roughly 25% of all USDC in circulation across its own products, and its Base network processes over 60% of global on-chain stablecoin volume. In 2024 alone, Circle paid Coinbase $908 million under their revenue-sharing deal. Stablecoin revenue made up nearly a fifth of Coinbase's total revenue last year. And that revenue-sharing contract comes up for renewal in August. Next month. Circle's CEO waved off the threat publicly, calling multi-company consortiums "predictably slow-moving" and pointing to a decade of deep USDC integration no coalition can replicate overnight. But Coinbase isn't threatening to leave USDC. It's sitting at the table that decides what USDC is worth to keep, one month before it has to sign a new number on the page. Circle spent a decade making Coinbase's distribution the backbone of USDC's growth. Coinbase just built the leverage to make sure it never has to accept the old terms again. What happens to that August contract now?

Hidden fees suck, especially when two cards look similar until you actually use them. Here's the list ranked by extra cost vs the best observed rate, based on experiments from @0xVishnya ↓ Highest @oobit | ~5.4% @KASTxyz | ~2.7%–3.3% Medium @Plasma | ~1.8% @RedotPay | ~1.5% @wirexapp | ~1.4% @xplaceapp | ~1.0% Lowest @useTria | ~0.6% @krak | ~0.1% @coca_card | ~0.0% @avicimoney | ~0.0% @ether_fi | ~0.0% You can also use https://t.co/hrGMfpX1BA as a go-to tool for checking whether a specific crypto card is available in your country, anon ;)

Stablecoin set a trading record of $1.79 trillion in June According to Visa, the stablecoin trading volume in June hit a record $1.79 trillion, up 63% from May and surpassing the previous record set in February. This indicates that stablecoins are being increasingly used in payments, decentralized finance, and international remittances, despite the overall crypto market declining. Circle's USDC accounts for the majority of the volume at about 67%, equivalent to $1.21 trillion, far outpacing Tether's USDT even though USDT remains the largest stablecoin by market cap. Regarding networks, Coinbase's Base leads with $565 billion, followed by Ethereum and Tron. Experts note that this growth trend will continue as stablecoins become an increasingly important infrastructure of the digital finance sector.
