Компания, выпускающая крупнейший стейблкоин USDT, занимает третье место в мире по объему накопленной криптовалюты среди известных компаний

Компания Tether пополнила свои запасы биткоинов (BTC) на 961 монету общей стоимостью $97,3 млн, сообщили аналитики Onchain Lens. По данным Arkham, средства поступили с горячего кошелька биржи Bitfinex на адрес, который ранее отмечался как резервный кошелек Tether.

Это первый крупный перевод в резервы Tether с тех пор, как в конце сентября компания пополнила их на 8888 BTC на сумму около $1 млрд. Начав приобретать биткоины три года назад, Tether накопила уже более 87 тыс. BTC на $8,7 млрд.

Согласно данным BitcoinTreasuries, по размеру биткоин-резерва Tether занимает второе место среди известных частных компаний после Block One (164 тыс. BTC). Из публичных компаний она уступает только Strategy Майкла Сэйлора (641 тыс. BTC).

До конца неясно, купила ли компания новые монеты или просто переместила уже имеющиеся. Bitfinex и Tether входят в одну группу, что затрудняет точную трактовку, отмечает The Block.

На прошлой неделе Tether отчиталась о финансовых результатах. Она сообщила, что с начала года ее прибыль превысила $10 млрд. Известно, что с мая 2023 года компания официально направляет до 15% прибыли на покупку биткоинов.

На сегодняшний день токен USDT, выпускаемый компанией, остается крупнейшим в мире стейблкоином с общим объемом предложения около $185 млрд на рынке стоимостью $313 млрд. USDT обеспечивается по большей части казначейскими облигациями США — по итогам третьего квартала Tether владела ими на сумму более $135 млрд. Это ставит ее в число крупнейших держателей американского госдолга, рядом с такими странами, как Саудовская Аравия или Южная Корея.

В последние годы Tether активно инвестировала в различные проекты, помимо стейблкоинов, в таких секторах, как искусственный интеллект, медиа, спорт и майнинг. Кроме того, компания недавно объявила о выпуске USAT — нового стейблкоина, обеспеченного долларом и предназначенного для американских пользователей.

How a Listed Company Died: Gambling $1.46 Billion on WLFI, with $540 Million Ending Up in Trump Family's Pockets

The article details the downfall of AI Financial Corporation (formerly Alt5 Sigma), a Nasdaq-listed fintech company. In August 2025, the company, whose board overlapped with the crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), was acquired via a $750 million WLFI token payment. It then raised another $750 million in cash from investors to buy more WLFI tokens, totaling a $1.46 billion bet at ~$0.20 per token. The strategy proved disastrous. WLFI's price plummeted ~70% to ~$0.057, causing over $750 million in unrealized losses on the largely locked-up tokens. With its core payment business being sold, AI Financial now holds illiquid tokens, ~$10.5 million in depleting cash, and a going-concern warning from the SEC. Its stock fell over 90%. Crucially, of the $750 million cash used to buy WLFI tokens, an estimated $540 million flowed to Trump-affiliated entities due to WLFI's revenue-sharing structure, contributing to Trump's reported $1.4+ billion in 2025 crypto-related income. The case highlights the extreme risks for public companies making large, illiquid bets on single crypto assets.

Bitcoin vs. gold: Why the BTC/XAU ratio could be key in July

The article discusses the significance of the Bitcoin-to-gold (BTC/XAU) ratio as a key macro indicator for July, amid resurgent market volatility. Geopolitical tensions, specifically the collapse of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, triggered a spike in oil prices and renewed inflation concerns. This has increased market expectations for a more hawkish Federal Reserve, putting pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin. Historically, both Bitcoin and gold have performed well in July. However, the current volatile macro backdrop forces a clearer choice between the two as a hedge. While the BTC/XAU ratio is up over 4.5% for the month, indicating Bitcoin's continued outperformance, the article suggests this trend is under pressure. The ratio will serve as a critical gauge for whether capital remains in Bitcoin or rotates back into the traditional safe haven of gold as macro uncertainty persists.

Are the Frantic Acquisitions of Crypto Companies by Giants Good or Bad?

In a bear market, giants are actively acquiring crypto companies. Recent months have seen at least five major deals: Samsung Securities bought a 2% stake in Upbit operator Dunamu; Robinhood acquired WonderFi for $180 million to enter the Canadian market; Figure purchased Kiavi for $717 million to expand into on-chain real estate credit; Franklin Templeton bought 250Digital to launch Franklin Crypto; and Blockworks acquired data platform Messari at a steep discount—over 90% less than its 2022 $300 million valuation. These moves highlight a strategic shift. Cash-rich giants are consolidating resources at low cost, targeting companies with established compliance frameworks to navigate tightening global regulations. Acquisitions like WonderFi and the Upbit stake provide immediate market access and licensed user bases. Figure's deal signals real-world asset (RWA) tokenization moving from concept to large-scale implementation, with Kiavi's $7+ billion annual transaction volume being integrated into on-chain capital markets. Franklin Crypto's launch targets institutional investors like pension funds, offering them tailored, compliant crypto strategies. For these strategic players, bear markets present an ideal entry point: valuations are depressed, speculative noise is minimized, and they can acquire robust technology and compliance infrastructure at a fraction of the cost. This acquisition wave marks a transitional phase for crypto—from a wild frontier toward an institutional, regulated financial system. Giants are positioning themselves to capture future growth when macroeconomic conditions and liquidity improve, leaving latecomers behind.

Strive's Paper Loss Warning: Pressure from Strategy Preferred Shares Has Spread Across the Entire Bitcoin Treasury Track

Strive's disclosure that its holdings of Strategy's (STRC) preferred shares lost $7.08 million in value over eight days signals that credit risks are spreading across the Bitcoin reserve industry through cross-holdings. While not proof of insolvency, it shows how valuation pressure on one firm's securities can directly impact another's balance sheet. Strategy responded with a comprehensive credit management framework, including raising STRC dividends to 12%, authorizing share buybacks, and formalizing a plan to potentially sell Bitcoin to bolster its $2.55 billion cash reserve. However, third-party models value STRC at around $49.89 per share, far below its $100 face value, highlighting that its price depends critically on the sustainability of dividends and Strategy's financial health. The market now watches for two scenarios: either the risk is contained to Strategy, or it spreads industry-wide if STRC's discount deepens, dividends become unsustainable, and pressure spills over to securities like Strive's SATA. Key indicators to monitor are the discount rates of STRC and SATA, cash coverage for dividends, share issuance activity, and whether Bitcoin sales move from authorization to execution.

In the MiCA Era, Europe's New Cryptography Landscape: Why is Germany Taking Center Stage?

With MiCA's transitional arrangements concluding, Europe's crypto industry has undergone a regulatory consolidation. Post-MiCA, platforms must secure CASP authorization to operate compliantly within the EU. As of July 1st, only about 12% of crypto firms have received authorization, with Germany emerging as a key player, holding 57 authorizations (roughly 23% of the EU total). This positions Germany as a primary compliance gateway to the EU's unified market. Germany's advantage stems from its established, function-based regulatory framework, which integrated crypto activities into existing banking, securities, and payment systems pre-MiCA. This allowed a smoother transition and attracted both domestic platforms (like Bitcoin.de, BISON) and international ones (like Coinbase Germany). A distinctive trend is German banks becoming direct retail entry points for crypto services. Examples include DZ Bank integrating "meinKrypto" into its VR Banking App and the Sparkassen savings bank network planning to offer crypto trading via DekaBank. This mainstreams crypto access for ordinary users. Beyond trading, Germany is evolving into a digital asset infrastructure hub. Deutsche Börse Group's Clearstream is developing a next-generation platform for issuing, settling, and servicing both traditional and tokenized securities. Furthermore, German banks like DekaBank and DZ Bank are key participants in the Qivalis project, a European initiative for a regulated euro stablecoin, positioning Germany at the intersection of critical future capabilities like custody, settlement, and cross-border services.
