  • По данным прессы, Coinbase близка к покупке стартапа BVNK.
  • Он является поставщиком платежной инфраструктуры в стейблкоинах.
  • Ранее интерес к фирме проявила также Mastercard.

Криптобиржа Coinbase планирует приобрести стартап в сфере стейблкоинов BVNK за около $2 млрд. Об этом сообщает Bloomberg со ссылкой на свои источники.

По данным издания, переговоры находятся на завершающей стадии. Сделка может быть закрыта к концу 2025 года или в начале 2026 года.

В команде BVNK отказались ответить на запрос издания. В Coinbase отметили, что не будут реагировать на домыслы и слухи. Вместе с тем в организации подтвердили, что рассматривают разные варианты в рамках расширения.

Информация об интересе биржи к стартапу появилась еще в начале октября 2025 года. Кроме того, по данным издания Fortune, в переговорах также принимала участие компания Mastercard.

BVNK — это британская финтех-фирма, которая занимается разработкой платежной инфраструктуры в стейблкоинах для институциональных клиентов. В декабре 2024 года она закрыла раунд серии B на $50 млн, в котором также приняла участие Coinbase Ventures.

Если информация о сделке подтвердится, это станет очередным приобретением Coinbase, которая работает над расширением охвата рынка. Ранее биржа купила платформу Echo, чтобы предложить комплексное решение для сбора средств проектами.

World Cup Prediction Market Frenzy: $3.3 Billion in Total Volume, Half of Funds Bet on Long Shots

World Cup prediction markets see unprecedented activity, with a total trading volume surpassing $3.3 billion, dwarfing this year's Super Bowl market. Markets favor France and Argentina as the top contenders to win and reach the final, with traders betting on a repeat of the 2022 final matchup. However, a striking market anomaly emerges: approximately $1.6 billion—half of the total volume—is invested in long-shot teams with winning probabilities of 1% or less, such as Ivory Coast, Mexico, and Egypt. This reflects unique prediction market dynamics where historical, speculative, or hedged positions can inflate trading figures for unlikely outcomes, contrasting sharply with concentrated confidence in top favorites. The sports-driven boom is fueling growth across non-sports prediction markets like geopolitics and elections, with weekly industry volume hitting a record $14.5 billion. Amid this expansion, regulatory scrutiny is intensifying, with the CFTC investigating platforms like Polymarket over legal boundaries between event contracts and gambling.

Autheo Introduces the Internet Operating System: A Decentralized Coordination Layer for Web, Blockchain, & AI

Autheo has launched its Mainnet, introducing a decentralized operating system designed as a coordination layer to enable interoperability between the traditional Web, blockchain networks, and AI agents as a single system. Founded in 2021, the platform combines a sovereign Cosmos-based Layer 0, a native EVM-compatible Layer 1, and PQCNet—a quantum-resistant identity and communications framework built on NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography. Its native identity is built on W3C-compliant Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). Following a public testnet that saw significant adoption (over 1.8 million wallets and 960,000 smart contracts), Mainnet is now live. Developers can deploy Solidity contracts natively and access native IBC interoperability. The network aims to provide a shared substrate for identity, messaging, compute, and execution, allowing applications and autonomous agents to interact without relying on fragmented, brittle integrations. The project is backed by an experienced team and partners, with a focus on expanding Web2, Web3, and AI ecosystem partnerships.

Earning Six Figures and Still Struggling to Rent in San Francisco

A couple in San Francisco with a combined tech income over $360,000 struggled for months to find a one-bedroom apartment under $5,000 per month. Their story highlights how the AI wealth boom, driven by upcoming IPOs from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, is dramatically escalating the city's cost of living. Even six-figure salaries are becoming insufficient for a comfortable lifestyle. The article details the financial reality for tech workers earning around $180,000 annually. After taxes, retirement contributions, and healthcare, take-home pay is roughly $7,000 per month. With average rents exceeding $3,800 and one-bedrooms often costing $4,500-$5,200, discretionary income shrinks to $1,500-$2,500. This contrasts sharply with reported median total compensations of $640,000 at OpenAI and $420,000 at Anthropic. The AI gold rush is identified as the primary driver. The scale of potential wealth from these IPOs, far surpassing previous tech booms, is flooding the housing market. Data shows San Francisco's average rent is now the highest in the U.S., with vacancy rates in desirable neighborhoods plummeting to around 3%. The overall cost of living is 65.6% above the national average. The piece features multiple professionals, including a 25-year-old with a $250,000 salary, facing housing instability, fierce competition for rentals, and a persistent, low-grade financial anxiety despite high earnings. It concludes that the rapid concentration of AI wealth is redefining what constitutes a "high salary" in San Francisco, pushing out mid-tier tech talent and creating a stark divide between those in the AI sector and everyone else.

Rate Hikes to Save STRC, Selling Bitcoin to Preserve Credit: Strategy Picks Its Two Most Expensive Paths

Over the past six weeks, Strategy has faced a significant crisis of confidence, with its core securities MSTR and STRC experiencing sharp price declines. The situation escalated as the company utilized dollar reserves intended for dividends and interest payments to repurchase debt, and then sold a small amount of Bitcoin for the first time since 2022—an action that contradicted its "never sell" narrative and signaled potential liquidity strain. In response, Strategy introduced a Digital Credit capital framework. This formalized a series of measures to manage the pressure down its capital structure: ordinary shareholders have already borne costs through equity dilution from an $11.5 billion ATM offering; new rules enforce a hard dollar reserve covering at least 12 months of expected dividend and interest payments; the STRC dividend rate was increased from 11.5% to 12%; and, most notably, Bitcoin was officially integrated into the capital toolkit, with board authorization to sell up to $1.25 billion worth if needed to support obligations and repurchase programs. The market reacted with a mix of relief and skepticism. While the announcement triggered a sharp single-day rally in both MSTR and STRC, the preferred shares still trade at a significant discount. Supporters view the framework as pragmatic crisis management that provides a price floor and clearer rules. Critics argue that institutionalizing Bitcoin sales undermines the core investment thesis and, with Bitcoin's price below the company's average cost basis, amounts to selling assets at a loss to maintain its financial structure. The broader context shows institutional Bitcoin buying drying up, highlighting that Strategy's challenges and new framework are now a key indicator for overall market risk sentiment. Ultimately, the framework buys time, but STRC's return to par value depends on market belief in the company's ability to cover dividends without further dilution or substantial Bitcoin sales—a task that would be easier if Bitcoin's price recovers.
