Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Plasma blockchain TVL has climbed to $2 billion, making it the seventh-largest blockchain by total value locked after Tether selected Plasma as one of only four networks to support its newly launched self-custody wallet. Summary Plasma's TVL reached $2 billion as of April 16, up 27% over the past week and more than 80% over the past 30 days, per DefiLlama data, placing it seventh globally by TVL. Tether launched tether.wallet on April 14, selecting Plasma alongside Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum as supported networks at launch, giving the chain a direct distribution channel to Tether's 570 million global users. Analysts also point to growing optimism around the CLARITY Act approaching a Senate Banking Committee markup as a secondary driver of capital flowing into stablecoin infrastructure. Plasma blockchain TVL has surged to $2 billion, a 27% weekly gain and more than 80% over the past 30 days, pushing the stablecoin-focused Layer-1 to seventh place globally in total value locked according to DefiLlama. The move coincides directly with the launch of tetherwallet on April 14, a self-custody product from Tether that supports USDT and XAUT on Plasma alongside Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum

Beaten-down digital asset treasury names lead crypto stock surge as bitcoin hits 
Crypto-linked stocks surged Friday, led by a sharp rally in beaten-down digital asset treasury firms, as progress toward ending the Iran war jolted risk assets, sending bitcoin to a two-month high of $78,000.

U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that Iran committed to keeping open the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy markets.

"Iran has just announced that the Strait… is fully open and ready for full passage," Trump said in a Truth Social post, adding that peace talks between the countries were progressing. Reports that the U.S. is considering unfreezing $20 billion in Iranian assets and Trump's remarks about acquiring Iran's enriched uranium further boosted sentiment.
As the headlines helped calm fears of a prolonged energy shock, crude oil tanked 13% to near $80 per barrel.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley bet big on Bitcoin. 'Wall Street has literally arrived'

If Wall Street’s embrace of crypto has happened in fits and starts, this week that all changed.

Not only are some of the bluest-blooded banks and financial institutions diving into digital assets, but they’re iterating products for their more conservative customers.

Goldman Sachs, the $3.6 trillion asset management firm, finally filed a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. Unlike BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, which is officially the largest crypto ETF on the market, Goldman’s product has a unique twist.

Namely, the fund rarely touches any actual Bitcoin.

Instead, the Goldman Sachs Bitcoin Premium Income ETF is comprised mostly of other spot Bitcoin ETFs. It then sells call options on those funds to offer investors a steady yield.

For an asset that’s plummeted roughly 40% in the last six months, that steady income is attractive for traditional investors.

North Korean hackers likely pocketed hundreds of millions in stolen crypto — and now a US court is being asked to decide whether a stablecoin giant should have stopped them.

Circle’s Own Track Record Becomes A Key Weapon
A class action lawsuit filed in a Massachusetts federal court this week names Circle Internet Group as the defendant, with plaintiffs arguing the company had both the means and the opportunity to stop roughly $280 million in stolen USDC from moving across blockchains — and did nothing.

The case was brought by Drift Protocol investor Joshua McCollum, representing more than 100 affected members. Their attorneys put it plainly: Circle allowed criminal use of its own technology.


The complaint was filed Wednesday in a Massachusetts US district court by Drift investor Joshua McCollum, representing more than 100 members.
The April 1 attack on Drift Protocol saw attackers drain funds and route them from Solana to Ethereum using Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol, a bridging tool the company operates. The transfers happened over several hours, according to reports. The window was wide open.

What makes the lawsuit particularly pointed is what happened just days before the hack. About a week prior, Circle froze 16 USDC wallets tied to a sealed US civil case. Plaintiffs seized on that detail. If Circle could move fast for a court-adjacent matter, they argue, it could have acted here too. That single fact sits at the center of the legal fight.

I hope there’s some precedent set. Either you’re a decentralized protocol and literally do not have the power to freeze or you’re not and you should be freezing hacked funds. This middle ground hand wavy “only with a court order” stuff is weak. Misses the forest for the trees https://t.co/TqzOYKZOvm

Utexo, a Bitcoin-native settlement layer for stablecoin payments, announced a collaboration with x402 to add USDT support to the x402 payment protocol. The update enables real-time transactions between autonomous systems with settlement speeds of up to 50 milliseconds.

x402, an open protocol for embedding payments into HTTP requests, allows applications and APIs to process transactions using the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status. The model removes the need for user accounts or pre-funded balances, enabling direct, on-demand payments between services.

Utexo, a provider of low-latency confidential payment infrastructure, focuses on secure and fast execution for machine-driven transactions. In April 2026, the company joined the Linux Foundation, a global organization supporting open-source development.

The integration targets use cases where software systems transact independently. These include API payments, access to data services, and coordination between platforms without manual input.
