While some still dream of Bitcoin at $200,000, Mastercard slips the USDC under the rug and pays the bill in stablecoin... Quietly, but surely.

In 2024, salaries paid in crypto have tripled, marking a decisive turning point in the digital work landscape. Nearly 10% of professionals in the sector are now paid in stablecoins, notably USDC. This is a sign that crypto is establishing itself as a reliable, structured payment method, increasingly recognized by institutions.

Digital assets are creeping into the corridors of mainstream finance, and this time, stablecoin issuer Circle is joining forces with a Florida-based fintech firm to bring USDC to more retail customers and businesses. This partnership aims to offer U.S. citizens a trusted digital dollar option for both local and cross-border transactions.

The line between traditional commerce and decentralized finance is becoming thinner.

This decision is not just a mere technological whim but a strategic shift towards the large-scale adoption of crypto.

Circle's IPO made history on Wall Street with the largest two-day gain since 1980. However, behind this spectacular performance lies a troubling paradox: the issuer of USDC literally forfeited 3 billion dollars to institutional investors. How can this colossal financial sacrifice be explained?

Circle makes a brilliant debut on Wall Street with a raise of $1.1 billion, well beyond expectations. A strong signal as the United States sharpens its legal framework on stablecoins and repositions crypto in their monetary arsenal.

Circle makes a splash on the stock market! The issuer of USDC aims for 7.2 billion dollars for its IPO. Massive support from BlackRock, oversized ambitions, regulated crypto model... this entry to Wall Street could redefine the rules of the game. So, revolution or absorption?

Ripple, which wanted to acquire Circle for 5 billion, got the door slammed in its face. Result: a duel of stablecoins where USDC does not intend to let itself be overshadowed.

Despite strong competition, Tether dominates the crypto stablecoin market with a 66% share and record profits. Details here!

As waves of economic uncertainty overwhelm the markets, the crypto universe holds its breath. Circle, the stablecoin giant, wavers between ambition and caution.

In a major advancement for the adoption of stablecoins in the financial sector, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has officially recognized USDC and EURC as the first regulated stablecoins within its legal framework.

While Bitcoin lags behind, stablecoins could well wake it up. But beware, nothing is ever certain.

Crypto: New MiCA standards for regulatory clarity in Europe

Concerns about the regulation of stablecoins by MICA are exaggerated. The truth here.

The crypto landscape in Europe has just undergone a major change with Circle's approval for the issuance of stablecoins by MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation). This decision marks a significant step in the regulation of digital assets on the old continent. But what does this approval really mean for the crypto market and what will be the impacts? Let's explore this development together.
