Stablecoins can help businesses turn costs into revenue, Paxos Labs cofounder says


Stablecoins, the $300 billion class of digital dollars, may have started as a faster way to move money across the globe, but companies are now asking a different question: what can they actually do with them?

That shift is driving a new phase of adoption, according to Chunda McCain, co-founder of Paxos Labs, who says the industry is moving beyond basic infrastructure toward real business use cases.

"The first step was getting a stablecoin," McCain said in an interview with CoinDesk. "The next question is: what now?"

Last week, Paxos Labs underscored that direction by raising $12 million in a strategic funding round led by Blockchain Capital, with participation from Robot Ventures, Maelstrom and Uniswap. The lab unit was incubated under Paxos, the New York-based digital asset firm behind popular stablecoins such as PayPal's $PYUSD ($PYUSD) and the Global Dollar (USDG). Paxos itself builds stablecoins and the immediate underlying infrastructure, while Paxos Labs intends to build tooling for further use of those stablecoins.

With the fresh funds, Paxos Labs is building what it calls a "financial utility stack" that lets companies turn digital assets into products through a single integration.

Its newly launched Amplify Suite bundles three core tools: Earn, which offers yield on digital assets; Borrow, which enables lending against them; and Mint, which supports branded stablecoin issuance. The idea behind that is to let firms integrate tokens into a business, then layer on capabilities over time.

Turning cost into revenue

For years, enterprise crypto adoption focused on “first-touch” capabilities like trading, custody or issuing a stablecoin. Those steps opened the door but rarely generated returns on their own, according to McCain

For years, $NEO's treasury was held in a setup that would be unusual for most financial institutions: hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto assets were controlled through personal wallets, with no multisig protections and little formal oversight.

That person, according to co-founder Da Hongfei, is Erik Zhang, $NEO's other co-founder and the architect of its core protocol.

"Around 85% is controlled by Eric alone with single signature," Da said in an interview. "It had never been transferred to any individual or any multi-sig." The native $NEO and $GAS tokens Zhang holds are currently worth between $200 million and $250 million, Da estimated. That's more than $NEO's current $197 million market capitalization.

Zhang, for his part, has accused Da of separate problems. The two founders have been airing those disputes in public since December.

The fight has since produced rival governance plans and an unsuccessful mediation effort in Hong Kong.

Da published his restructuring proposal on GitHub on April 9. It calls for redomiciling the Neo Foundation from Singapore to the Cayman Islands, replacing the current two-founder governance with an independent five-member board, barring both founders from that board for 24 months, and redistributing roughly 26 million $NEO and 40 million $GAS to tokenholders.

Zhang's counter-proposal called staying on the board keeping the Foundation in Singapore, not move it to the Cayman Islands.

Cardano Founder Confirms XRP DeFi Still Coming Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has said that plans to bring XRP to Cardano's DeFi ecosystem are still moving forward.

The conversation began when Big Pey, a well-known Cardano content creator, asked about the status of plans for XRP DeFi on Cardano. This question comes as Solana has successfully welcomed XRP into its DeFi ecosystem.

Now, Cardano proponents are wondering when a similar initiative will unfold, considering previous discussions about XRP and Cardano DeFi. In particular, an X user directly tagged Hoskinson to ask whether the integration was still happening.

TRUMP eyes breakout as long positions dominate - Can it happen?

Official Trump [TRUMP] has spent the past few weeks locked in a tight range, holding firmly within a demand zone that has shaped its structure since the 26th of March.

The price has been oscillating between $2.71 and $3.11, with neither side taking full control. That kind of compression often signals indecision—but it rarely lasts.

Now, that phase may be nearing its end.

Range tightens as pressure builds

The longer a market stays within a defined range, the more meaningful the eventual breakout tends to be. In TRUMP’s case, price has respected both boundaries cleanly, reinforcing them as key levels.

What is changing now is the pace. The recent push higher suggests that buyers are beginning to test the upper boundary with more intent. It is not a breakout yet, but it is no longer passive movement either.

This shift in behavior often comes just before expansion. The resistance levels at around $3.40 and $4.5 stand as the key targets for the token’s price action in the long run

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

The SEC has approved a rule change that eliminates one of Wall Street's most recognizable barriers for small traders: the old $25,000 minimum tied to pattern day-trading restrictions.

Regulators signed off on FINRA's proposal to scrap a framework that long made it harder for smaller investors to make rapid-fire stock trades, replacing it with a system aimed at measuring intraday risk.

The change might not be a rewrite of crypto regulation per se, but it carries certain implications for Bitcoin because the same retail crowd that speculates in stocks and options often moves through crypto too.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Wu Blockchain reports that Kelp DAO has suffered a massive cross-chain exploit that drained approximately 116,500 rsETH, valued at nearly $292 million. The incident raises fresh concerns about the protocol’s security, coming less than a year after a previous disruption tied to a smart contract bug Related Reading: $20M Crypto Scam Lands Texas Man 23-Year Prison SentenceKelp DAO Response Prevents Additional Exploit Attempts According to blockchain data, the attack on the Kelp DAO exploited a weakness in cross-chain communication, specifically targeting the bridge mechanism used to transfer assets across networks. The exploit was executed via a call to the “Iz Receive” function on LayerZero’s EndpointV2, which ultimately triggered the release of funds to an attacker-controlled wallet. On-chain sleuth ZachXBT was among the first to uncover the breach, estimating losses exceeding $280 million across Ethereum and Arbitrum. The blockchain investigator also noted that the attack addresses had been initially funded via Tornado Cash, indicating a deliberate effort to conceal the funding sources for the highly coordinated attack. Earlier today we identified suspicious cross-chain activity involving rsETH. We have paused rsETH contracts across mainnet and several L2s while we investigate. We are working with @LayerZero_Core, @unichain, our auditors and top security experts on RCA. We will keep you… — Kelp (@KelpDAO) April 18, 2026In response to this attack, Kelp DAO implemented an immediate halt to all rsETH contracts across its mainnet and connected L2 networks.

As of April 19, 2026, the crypto market is still under pressure, with sentiment leaning heavily cautious. The Fear & Greed Index sits at a low 27, reflecting widespread uncertainty among investors.
Bitcoin has also slipped to around $75,419, down about 2.27% in the past 24 hours. Despite this short-term weakness, a notable development is emerging on the mining side of the network.
A decentralized mining pool called Parasite, known for its “plebs eat first” philosophy, has successfully mined its second Bitcoin block. While this may seem like a small technical event, it carries broader symbolic weight.
The project is part of a growing push toward greater decentralization in Bitcoin mining. Over the years, concerns have increased about mining power becoming too concentrated in a few large players. Moves like this represent an attempt to push back against that trend and reinforce Bitcoin’s original decentralized vision.
With the total crypto market cap under pressure at around $2.63 trillion, these underlying shifts matter more than they might appear at first glance.
While the price action remains weak in the short term, developments in network structure and mining distribution are being closely watched. They could play a role in shaping Bitcoin’s long-term resilience and overall market stability.
In simple terms: even during a downtrend, changes happening “under the hood” of Bitcoin may be just as important as price movement itself.
