Stablecoins

Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a stable reserve, such as the US Dollar or Gold, to minimize price volatility. Serving as the primary medium of exchange in Web3, tokens like USDT, USDC, and PYUSD facilitate global payments and DeFi liquidity. In 2026, the focus has shifted toward yield-bearing stablecoins and compliant stablecoin frameworks under global regulations like MiCA. This tag covers the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto through stable on-chain liquidity solutions.

MetaMask Plans USD Stablecoin Launch with Stripe Partnership, Governance Proposal Reveals

MetaMask Plans USD Stablecoin Launch with Stripe Partnership, Governance Proposal Reveals

A governance proposal circulating within MetaMask’s community reveals plans to launch “MetaMask USD” (mmUSD) through a partnership with Stripe’s payment infrastructure, potentially creating a direct competitor to established stablecoins like USDC and USDT. The proposal outlines building mmUSD on the M⁰ network for decentralized issuance and settlement, with Stripe serving as the issuing partner to provide regulatory clarity and trusted fiat backing. Source: Aggr News MetaMask Leverages 30M User Base to Challenge USDC Dominance MetaMask serves over 30 million monthly active users globally through one of the most widely used non-custodial wallets in Web3. The proposed mmUSD would function as a base currency throughout MetaMask’s ecosystem while integrating with DeFi protocols like Aave for lending, borrowing, and yield opportunities. The stablecoin initiative follows MetaMask’s recent card launch in partnership with Baanx and Mastercard, enabling users to spend crypto directly from self-custody wallets without surrendering control to banks or exchanges. Neither MetaMask nor Stripe has officially confirmed the development, leaving key details about reserve models and regulatory compliance unaddressed. In fact, the initial governance post has been made private. The proposal aligns with an industry-wide stablecoin rush following the GENIUS Act passage, which established a federal regulatory framework for stablecoin issuance. The legislation sparked interest from major corporations, including Western Union, Interactive Brokers, and Remitly, all exploring stablecoin integration for payment modernization. Stablecoin Market Explodes as GENIUS Act Unlocks Corporate Interest The stablecoin sector has expanded rapidly to over $250 billion in market capitalization, with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse projecting growth to $1-2 trillion within the next few years. The GENIUS Act, signed by President Trump in July , distinguishes stablecoins as payment tools rather than investment products while establishing clear regulatory guidelines. Western Union CEO Devin McGranahan announced pilot programs in South America and Africa to modernize global remittance operations through stablecoins. The company views stablecoins as opportunities to streamline cross-border transfers and improve currency conversion in underserved markets where global remittance fees average 6.6%. Interactive Brokers founder Thomas Peterffy has also confirmed the firm is exploring stablecoin launch options , potentially enabling real-time funding for brokerage accounts. The $110 billion market value company serves nearly 3.9 million customers and already supports crypto trading through partnerships with Paxos and Zero Hash. 📲 Payments processor @remitly will soon integrate stablecoins into its global network, aiming to speed up and reduce the cost of international money transfers. #Remitly #Stablecoins https://t.co/VCG75mundR — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) August 5, 2025 Most recently, Remitly launched beta testing for its multi-currency digital wallet supporting both fiat and stablecoins , with live deployment scheduled for September. The Seattle-based fintech added stablecoin payout options through Bridge, a Stripe-owned infrastructure provider, while integrating USDC into internal treasury operations. All these corporate adoptions come as Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller acknowledged the significance of stablecoins, noting that 99% of stablecoin market capitalization is linked to the US dollar. The federation believed that “stablecoins can keep the dollar the world’s reserve currency” by making it more accessible worldwide. Corporate Giants Defy New Regulations While Adoption Accelerates Coinbase and PayPal continue offering stablecoin yield programs despite the GENIUS Act provisions explicitly banning interest payments from stablecoin issuers. Both companies argue the restrictions don’t apply because they operate as intermediaries rather than direct issuers of the stablecoins they reward. 💵 @Coinbase and @PayPal are pushing forward with stablecoin yield programs, despite new US legislation banning such incentives for issuers. #Coinbase #PayPal https://t.co/F4bTmQbl6J — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) August 5, 2025 Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated, “We are not the issuer,” while defending the company’s 4.1% APY rewards on USDC holdings. Though Coinbase co-developed USDC with Circle, it ceased formal issuing responsibilities in 2023, with Circle now serving as the sole issuer without offering direct yield. PayPal offers 3.7% annual returns on PYUSD holdings through both PayPal and Venmo platforms. While PYUSD bears PayPal’s name, technical issuance by third-party firm Paxos allows PayPal to claim exemption from GENIUS Act restrictions. Previously, Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that private stablecoin launches could create privacy invasions and systemic risks, predicting companies would “come begging for bailout when it inevitably blows up.” Despite criticism, global corporations, including Amazon, Walmart, JD.com, and Alipay , continue exploring stablecoin integration. The competitive stablecoin space has intensified with approximately 20 million addresses now transacting with stablecoins on public blockchains. MetaMask’s proposed entry would leverage its massive user base and Stripe’s compliance infrastructure to claim its share of the market.

Altcoin Season Debate Heats Up as DOGE Liquidity, SHIB Whales, ADA Institutions Align

Altcoin Season Debate Heats Up as DOGE Liquidity, SHIB Whales, ADA Institutions Align

Talk of an altcoin season is intensifying as traders search for signs beyond Bitcoin. With the Altcoin Season Index holding below 40, the market is not yet in full rotation. Still, Shiba Inu, Dogecoin, and Cardano are showing that selective flows can define this stage of the cycle. Shiba Inu: Ecosystem Resilience in a Cooling Market The Shiba Inu price stands at $0.000012 , with a market cap of about $7 billion and daily volume near $210 million, according to CoinMarketCap. Unlike earlier cycles, SHIB’s relevance is no longer tied only to social energy. Shibarium, its Layer‑2 network, continues to settle DeFi transactions and NFT activity, while DAO proposals seek to broaden governance participation. Although SHIB is down roughly 8% over the past week, its on‑chain participation suggests a more sustainable footing than prior meme cycles. Whale wallet growth of over 600% in recent weeks supports the idea that longer‑term holders are active. Dogecoin: Liquidity Anchor for Risk Appetite The Dogecoin price trades around $0.20, giving it a $30 billion market cap and $1.7 billion in daily turnover. DOGE has eased about 5% from late‑July highs but remains one of the most liquid altcoins. DOGE Price (Source: CoinMarketCap) For traders, DOGE functions as a liquidity anchor when speculative appetite rises. Analysts forecast near‑term resistance around $0.215 and possible extension toward $0.30 if risk flows deepen. Its ongoing retail base and integration into payment platforms make it unique among meme coins in sustaining consistent volume across cycles. DOGE’s behavior reinforces the argument that altseason need not mean new projects alone—it often revives legacy tokens that still capture liquidity quickly. Cardano: Testing Institutional Narratives The Cardano price is holding near $0.73 , with a market cap close to $26 billion and daily volume above $1 billion. Cardano’s technical roadmap remains active. Hydra scaling and Mithril sync upgrades are operational, while Voltaire governance steps continue. But what sets ADA apart in this phase is its appeal to institutional and regulatory‑focused investors. Stablecoins such as USDA and Djed are expanding on‑chain liquidity, and Total Value Locked has reached around $470 million. Analysts argue that these developments could give ADA an edge if broader inflows return later in 2025, even as short‑term sentiment remains soft. A Selective Altcoin Season The Altcoin Season Index ’s current level indicates that Bitcoin is still outperforming most altcoins. Yet SHIB, DOGE, and ADA show that rotation does not have to be broad to matter. Each token demonstrates a different path: community sustainability, liquidity resilience, and institutional alignment. Rather than a sweeping altseason, this period looks defined by selective positioning into tokens with clear liquidity or utility anchors. Traders appear willing to allocate where there is structure and participation, even while mid‑caps remain muted. Shiba Inu, Dogecoin, and Cardano together reflect the layered nature of this altcoin season debate. SHIB leans on ecosystem sustainability, DOGE continues to anchor speculative liquidity, and ADA appeals to regulatory‑aligned growth narratives. Whether this expands into a full altseason remains uncertain, but these tokens are already shaping how traders view capital rotation in mid‑2025.
