MetaMask’s new stablecoin, mUSD, which is designed to serve as a wallet-native asset, went live on September 15, 2025. The stablecoin aims to simplify crypto for users, from onramping and holding to earning and spending, all within the MetaMask platform. mUSD, which is powered by Transak, is currently available to users in the United States and the European Union.

The contract address for mUSD is 0xaca92e438df0b2401ff60da7e4337b687a2435da, also available on MetaMask’s website.

The new stablecoin is intended to act as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems, underpinning various DeFi activities such as trading, lending, and remittances. It is available at a 1:1 rate with USDC and USDT and offers native support across 

MetaMask Swap and Bridge transactions. Users can also spend mUSD with the MetaMask Card at over 150 million merchants globally. Additional benefits include strong liquidity on LineaBuild and low-cost fiat onramps.

As of the current data, mUSD has a market cap of $18.01 million and a circulating supply of $18.04 million, with a 24-hour volume of $20.34 million. The price has been within a 24-hour range of $0.99 to $1.01. The launch also coincides with new functionality allowing users to manage and fund their MetaMask Card directly within the MetaMask Mobile app. 

MetaMask announced the launch on August 21, 2025. This marks the first time a self-custodial wallet has introduced it. It is designed to be deeply integrated into the MetaMask ecosystem to simplify the user experience for holding, spending, and transacting in Web3. Metamask thanked M0, Stablecoin and Transak on X for “helping bring this all to life.”

Sharp Rise in Cryptocurrency Market: Market Cap Increases by $500 Billion, Reaching $2.74 Trillion

After a slow start to August, the cryptocurrency market surged in the third week, driven by the announcement of a US Treasury bond buyback and a White House meeting reaffirming the Trump administration's support for the sector. Led by Bitcoin, the total market capitalization increased by $500 billion, nearing a peak of $2.74 trillion—its highest level since early May. Bitcoin maintained most of its mid-week momentum, ending the week with a 22% gain and approaching $80,000. Its market cap rose to $1.55 trillion, cutting year-to-date losses to roughly 12%. Zcash was the top performer, jumping nearly 70%, while XRP also saw significant gains, rising 51% over the week. Hyperliquid's token ($HYPE) surged to a record high of $82.43, partly fueled by supportive comments from former President Trump. With few exceptions, most large-cap altcoins posted weekly gains exceeding 20%, highlighting renewed investor interest sparked by the US Treasury's announcement. Overall, only a small number of tokens ended the week in decline.

Cryptocurrency Mining in Kazakhstan: How the Rules, Market, and Energy Policy Changed

Cryptocurrency mining in Kazakhstan has evolved rapidly from an unregulated, low-cost electricity haven to a strictly licensed industry. In 2020-2021, a massive influx of miners from China made Kazakhstan a global mining leader, but this boom strained the national power grid, leading to blackouts. The government responded with emergency power cuts for miners in 2022 and introduced mandatory licensing, taxes on electricity consumption, and a requirement to sell 75% of mined crypto through a state exchange. Regulations shifted in 2025, with the 75% sale rule abolished and miners gaining more freedom to manage their assets. By 2026, the focus moved to "strategic mining." New rules grant companies long-term, subsidized electricity quotas in exchange for contributing a portion of mined crypto to a proposed National Crypto Reserve. Requirements are strict, including owning large data centers (150+ MW) and high-performance equipment. Mining was also permitted using excess gas from oil fields. The market structure changed, with more companies renting rather than owning infrastructure. This journey highlights Kazakhstan's search for a balance between harnessing crypto mining for economic growth and managing its energy resources and financial stability.

Altcoins Are Soaring, But One Relentless Metric Is Dampening the 'Altseason' Hype

Altcoins are surging, with the "Altcoin Season Index" rising from 25 in May to 43. Tokens like PUMP and ENA have seen weekly gains of nearly 100%, while Zcash has hit a new all-time high. However, most major altcoins remain significantly below their previous peaks, with some still down over 90% from their highs. This selective rally contrasts with Bitcoin trading near $77,400, close to its record high from October 2025. Despite some traders on social media declaring "Altseason 3.0" is here, Google Trends data shows global search interest for "altcoin" remains low at 26 out of 100, far from the peak levels seen before Bitcoin's last ATH. The index is still well below the 75 threshold needed to officially confirm an altcoin season, suggesting current excitement may be premature and the broader market mania has not yet materialized.

Goldman Sachs Bullish on Changxin: Doubling Capacity in Four Years, Can It Cover Half of China's DRAM Demand?

Goldman Sachs initiates coverage on Changxin Technology, China's leading DRAM manufacturer, with a "Buy" rating and a 12-month price target of 129 CNY. The bullish outlook is based on a growth model extending to 2030, which anticipates a doubling of monthly wafer capacity from 270k in 2026 to 665k by 2030. This expansion, supported by projected high capital expenditure, could see Changxin supply covering approximately 50% of China's DRAM demand by 2028. The report highlights dual growth drivers: domestic demand fueled by AI infrastructure build-out and global supply diversification as major players shift capacity toward HBM. However, Goldman Sachs notes that capturing this opportunity depends on successful capacity ramp-up, yield improvements, and a favorable pricing environment, with DRAM prices expected to remain high. A key uncertainty lies in HBM adoption. While HBM revenue is forecast to grow significantly, reaching 27% of total revenue by 2030, Goldman cautions that technological maturity and geopolitical factors pose challenges for entering high-value supply chains. The ambitious 82% gross margin target for 2030 hinges on a successful product mix shift toward advanced nodes and HBM. Risks include intensified global competition, potential demand softening, and geopolitical constraints on market access. The 129 CNY target price represents a bet on the simultaneous realization of aggressive capacity expansion, sustained market strength, and a successful technological upgrade.
