Stellar Gets Its First Regulated, Yield-Bearing Stablecoin with YLDS Launch

Figure Technology Solutions (Nasdaq: FIGR) — a fintech company that builds blockchain-native financial products including lending, trading, and digital asset infrastructure — today announced the launch of YLDS on the Stellar network, marking the first time a regulated, yield-bearing dollar product has been made available on the chain.

YLDS is Figure's SEC-registered stablecoin issued by Figure Certificate Company, combining stablecoin liquidity with money market-style yield. The product is designed for regulated entities such as fintechs and neobanks that require compliant onchain dollar holdings. Notably, Figure HELOC — a token representing home equity loans originated on-chain — currently ranks #9 among all cryptocurrencies by market cap, a signal of the scale Figure has achieved in tokenizing real-world financial assets, though not without controversy.

"We built YLDS to do what banks do with your deposits: hold dollars, earn yield, move money, but onchain and regulated," said Mike Cagney, executive chair of Figure. "Fintechs and neobanks can now access that product on the Stellar network."

Stellar processed $55.6 billion in stablecoin payment volume in 2025 and hosts more than $2 billion in onchain tokenized real-world assets from issuers including WisdomTree, Ondo, and Franklin Templeton. According to rwa.xyz data, Stellar ranks as the fourth-largest chain by distributed RWA value, with $1.6 billion tokenized on the network. The launch builds on Stellar's expanding DeFi infrastructure, which was further strengthened when RedStone brought institutional-grade oracle price feeds to the network in March — unlocking more sophisticated financial products on the chain.

Raja Chakravorti of the Stellar Development Foundation called the launch an expansion of "dollar

Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz's crypto arm, a16z crypto, has raised $2.2 billion for its fifth fund, saying the market is now moving more toward real adoption than speculation.

The new fund is smaller than a16z crypto's record $4.5 billion fourth fund raised in 2022, which remains the largest single crypto venture fund to date

Coinbase cuts 14% of staff as it navigates downturn, shifts to AI-native operations
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong confirmed the layoffs on X, saying that the company’s business remains “volatile” from quarter to quarter.

Armstrong said AI has changed how the team works, and the company will move toward a flatter organizational structure.

Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) is reducing its workforce by roughly 14%, as the Nasdaq-listed firm navigates a market downturn and shifts to AI-native operations.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong confirmed the layoffs on X, saying that the company's business remains "volatile" from quarter to quarter, and that AI has changed how the team works.

"We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native," said Armstrong. "We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core."

According to its investor relations website, the company had about 4,900 employees at the end of 2025, suggesting that the latest layoffs would affect approximately 680 employees.

"[We're] currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth," said Armstrong.

Coinbase posted a net loss of $667 million in the fourth quarter of last year, compared with a profit in the prior quarter. It reported a net income of $1.26 billion for the full year of 2025, down 51% from 2024.

Coinbase is scheduled to release its first-quarter earnings on May 7.

A key driver behind the restructuring was the company's push toward AI-native operations. Armstrong noted that he is "rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it."

Armstrong said the company will move toward a flatter organizational structure, with "no pure managers." It will also concentrate on talent capable of managing fleets of AI agents to drive impact.

Bitcoin tests $80,000 as Asia's bid fades and Hong Kong Al IPOs surgeBitcoin is beginning the Hong Kong trading day under $80,000, according to CoinDesk market data, as the market once again tests a level that has repeatedly capped upside in recent sessions.
Price action remains rangebound just below the $80,700 short-term holder realized price, a key on-chain level now acting as near-term resistance, Glassnode said in this weeks market update.
The issue is not just another rejection near $80,000. Presto Research's April timezone data shows Asian trading hours consistently dragged on returns, while U.S. and European sessions drove most of the gains.
Hong Kong's three spot Bitcoin ETFs - ChinaAMC, Bosera Hashkey, Harvest - have gone effectively dormant. Net assets sit at $319.48 million, with daily turnover routinely under $2 million and net creations at zero on most April sessions.
At the same time, capital in the region appears to be rotating elsewhere. Hong Kong's IPO market raised roughly HK$110 billion in the first quarter, its strongest start in five years, with a heavy concentration in mainland China Al and technology listings.
With over 400 IPO applications in the pipeline, the Hong Kong exchange is effectivley full for the year.
For regional investors, those deals offer a competing high-growth narrative that may be drawing dollars for risk assets away from crypto.
The market is testing whether BTC can hold near $80,000 without broader global participation, market maker Enflux wrote in a note to CoinDesk.
"if Asian participation stays absent, any sustained push above $80K requires European and US sessions to keep carrying the load without the overnight liquidity buffer Asia normally provides," Enflux wrote.
That dependency is becoming more visible in the flow data. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs swung to $783.4 million in net outflows last week,

Bitcoin is rallying alongside rising inflation signals, defying the traditional macro playbook.

The move is raising questions about whether BTC is shifting from a risk asset to an inflation hedge, with ETF inflows supporting that view.

The real test will come during a stock market sell-off.

itcoin BTC$81,611.76 continues to rally, defying the typical inflation playbook. It's raising the question of whether the cryptocurrency has quietly crossed over from risk asset to inflation hedge.

The leading cryptocurrency by market value has risen 19% in just over a month, topping $80,000 on Monday for the first time since January. The rally comes as oil hovers above $100 and Bloomberg’s commodity futures index has jumped to a decade high, pointing to inflation in the pipeline. Meanwhile, U.S. consumer inflation expectations are surging.
