Visa планирует запустить сервис для совершения трансграничных платежей в стейблкоинах

Международный платежный оператор Visa объявил о запуске пилотной программы по использованию стейблкоинов для трансграничных платежей через сервис Visa Direct.

В Visa сообщили, что сервис будет ориентирован на использование партнерами стейблкоинов USDC и EURC. В частности, компании смогут пополнять свои балансы Visa Direct этими токенами, избегая дополнительной блокировки сумм в фиатной валюте. На стороне получателя средств стейблкоины будут конвертированы в местную валюту.

По мнению Visa, возможность трансграничной оплаты товаров и услуг в стейблкоинах может быть востребована у представителей малого бизнеса и фрилансеров, поскольку упрощает переводы и может защитить их сбережения от инфляции.

Планируется, что пилотный запуск сервиса Visa Direct для трансграничных платежей с ограниченным доступом для партнеров стартует в первой половине 2026 года.

Ранее генеральный директор VISA Райан Макинерни (Ryan McInerney) сообщил, что его компания за последние несколько лет обработала транзакции в стейблкоинах на общую сумму более $200 млн.

Shanghai's $10 Billion Unicorn Is About to Go Public

Shanghai-based automotive-grade millimeter-wave radar chip unicorn Calterah Microelectronics Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has filed for an IPO on Shanghai's STAR Market, aiming to raise 3.49 billion yuan. Founded in 2014 by Chen Jiashu, a UC Berkeley PhD graduate, and his professor Ali Niknejad, Calterah pioneered CMOS technology for 77GHz radar chips, breaking the decades-long monopoly of international giants like Texas Instruments. Its low-cost, highly integrated solutions enabled millimeter-wave radar to move from luxury to mass-market vehicles. By 2025, Calterah captured a 31.1% share in China's automotive millimeter-wave radar chip market (second domestically, fourth globally), with cumulative shipments exceeding 30 million units. Its client list includes BYD, Geely, Nio, and Volvo. The company has undergone 11 funding rounds, attracting high-profile investors such as the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Phase II, China Capital Management, and GD Capital. Its valuation has reached tens of billions of yuan, with a projected post-IPO valuation of approximately 14 billion yuan. Despite rapid revenue growth—increasing from 206 million yuan in 2023 to 632 million yuan in 2025 with a 75.28% CAGR—Calterah remains unprofitable. It reported net losses of 323 million yuan, 334 million yuan, and 193 million yuan from 2023 to 2025, accumulating over 900 million yuan in losses over three and a half years. These losses are primarily attributed to heavy R&D investment, which totaled over 1.039 billion yuan in the reporting period, often exceeding annual revenue. The company faces significant risks, including high customer concentration (its top five customers accounted for over 99% of revenue from 2023-2025, with BYD alone representing over 50% in 2025) and supply chain concentration. Revenue pressure from key customers and dependencies on overseas suppliers for EDA tools and IP pose challenges to sustainable growth. The IPO is seen as crucial for securing capital to expand production, diversify its customer base, and reduce supply chain dependencies.

LATEST NEWS: Altcoin Hack Reported, Allowing Malicious Actors to Mint Unlimited Tokens!

Breaking News: Reports indicate a hack of The Sandbox's altcoin, allowing malicious actors to potentially mint an unlimited number of its native $SAND tokens. The incident, not yet officially confirmed by The Sandbox team, stems from an alleged security vulnerability granting access to token minting capabilities. Claims on social media suggest over 500 million new $SAND tokens may have been created. If true, this represents a severe security breach directly impacting the token's supply. Market reaction has been swift and volatile. The price of $SAND dropped roughly 5.5% in a short period. Futures open interest reportedly surged by about 16% within an hour, and trading volume spiked to approximately 24 times the normal level, indicating intense activity. However, a sharp move into negative funding rates points to a significant buildup of short positions on the market.

Ray Dalio's Latest Macro Analysis Full Text: Buy More Gold, Add Some Bitcoin

In his latest macro analysis, Ray Dalio applies his framework from "How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle" to the current global debt environment. He highlights recent events like Japan selling U.S. Treasuries and rising U.S. long-term yields as signs of an unsustainable debt dynamic. Dalio explains that excessive government debt leads to either unacceptably high interest rates, severe economic downturns, or significant currency debasement through central bank money printing. He summarizes the U.S. fiscal situation: with $5.5 trillion in revenue, $7.5 trillion in spending, a $2 trillion deficit, and total debt at six times annual revenue, debt servicing costs are immense. Without correction, U.S. debt could reach $55-$60 trillion in a decade. Dalio proposes a "3% Three-Way" solution: reducing the budget deficit to 3% of GDP through balanced spending cuts, tax increases, and interest rate reductions to avoid a traumatic adjustment. In response to FAQs, he argues that the risk of a U.S. debt crisis is high and could materialize within a few years if the current path continues. He dismisses the notion that the dollar's reserve status makes the U.S. immune, citing historical precedents of reserve currency declines. He is also unconvinced by Japan's high-debt stability, noting poor returns for yen-denominated assets. For investors, Dalio recommends diversifying globally, underweighting bonds, and overweighting assets like gold and a small allocation to Bitcoin (around 10-15% to gold) to hedge against currency debasement and poor debt returns.

Stripe’s 16-Year Chronicle: From 7 Lines of Code to a $100 Billion Valuation

Stripe's 16-year journey began with a simple promise: "7 lines of code to accept payments." Founded by Patrick and John Collison, the company started by hiding the complexity of bank integrations and merchant accounts behind a clean API, initially targeting developers at startups. This early focus on user experience and technical simplicity fueled rapid adoption. A key early milestone was establishing vital bank partnerships, a challenge overcome by hiring Billy Alvarado, who brought crucial institutional relationship skills. From this foundation, Stripe systematically expanded its product boundaries. It launched Connect for platform payments, Atlas for company formation, Radar for fraud prevention, and Billing for subscriptions. This transformed Stripe from a payment processor into a broader financial infrastructure suite for internet businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated growth but also led to over-hiring. A 14% layoff in 2022 marked a period of organizational correction. Subsequently, Stripe shifted its growth strategy towards strategic acquisitions to enter new domains quickly. It acquired Bridge (stablecoin infrastructure), Privy (wallet infrastructure), Metronome (usage-based billing), and agreed to buy OpenRouter (AI model routing). These moves signal Stripe's ambition to build a "programmable money system" for the emerging AI and agent-based economy, managing not just currency flows but also the measurement and pricing of computational resources like AI tokens. Internally, Stripe leverages AI agents (like "Minions") to boost engineering productivity. Despite scaling to nearly 8,000 employees and processing $1.9 trillion in payment volume annually, the company remains private. A recent employee tender offer valued it at $159 billion. The core question for Stripe's future is whether it can successfully integrate its expanding product matrix—spanning payments, crypto, and AI infrastructure—into a cohesive platform, positioning itself as the foundational economic layer for autonomous software agents.

Treasury Secretary's Move to Suppress Treasury Yields Ignites 'Currency Debasement Trade'! Gold Hits Three-Month High, Bitcoin Surges Over 25% in a Single Week

US Treasury Secretary Besant's efforts to lower long-term Treasury yields by announcing expanded buybacks had only a brief market impact. However, this move fueled a "currency devaluation trade," weakening the US dollar while boosting both gold (to a three-month high) and Bitcoin (up over 25% for the week). Analysts attribute this reaction to deepening market concerns over the massive US fiscal deficit and structural pressures keeping long-term rates elevated, including fierce competition for capital from global government borrowing and massive AI sector financing. Despite the Treasury's actions, fundamental forces like growth, inflation, and capital demand are seen as limiting its ability to sustainably suppress yields. Bitcoin's strong positive correlation with gold has reinforced its narrative as a hedge against devaluation. While equity markets have shown resilience, some strategists warn that Treasury yields nearing 5% increase pressure on the dollar and high-leverage assets. Figures like Ray Dalio have advised reducing bond exposure in favor of gold and some Bitcoin, citing US debt risks. Market opinions are divided on the sustainability of the devaluation trade, with some noting the lack of a near-term catalyst for its next leg higher. The underlying tension between the Treasury's desire for lower borrowing costs and the Federal Reserve's focus on inflation and reducing market intervention remains a key theme. Upcoming events like Nvidia's earnings and the Jackson Hole symposium will test whether AI profits can continue supporting stocks and if the Fed aligns more with Washington's preference for easier financial conditions.
