Tether and Circle mint $1.5B as stablecoin liquidity rebuilds after market volatility

Tether and Circle minted a combined $1.5 billion in stablecoins, with Tether issuing $1 billion USDT (primarily on Tron) and Circle minting $500 million USDC (including on Solana). This follows a period of market stress where Bitcoin fell below $93,000, triggering liquidations. Large stablecoin mints are often a sign of liquidity positioning rather than immediate buying, as funds are typically sent to treasury or intermediary wallets first. Their deployment to exchanges or market makers will determine if this leads to renewed buying pressure. USDT and USDC continue to dominate the market, accounting for nearly 90% of the stablecoin supply on Ethereum. The minting suggests liquidity remains engaged with crypto, but does not yet confirm a market reversal.

Canary Capital CEO: XRP is ‘essential for the next century of finance’

Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg has shifted focus from Bitcoin to XRP, citing its real-world utility in solving multi-trillion dollar liquidity problems. Unlike traditional systems like SWIFT, which take days to settle transactions, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) processes transactions in 3-5 seconds with minimal fees. XRP is increasingly decoupling from Bitcoin’s price movements as its value becomes tied to practical usage rather than speculation. Analysts project prices could reach $5–$8 based on the liquidity needs of global markets like bonds and real estate. Despite short-term price weakness, the long-term outlook remains constructive as institutional adoption grows.

a16z: PR as BD, How to Break Through the 'Noise' in the Crypto Industry?

In the article "a16z: PR as BD – How to Break Through the Noise in Crypto," the author argues that "communications" is a broad term encompassing strategies for engaging various stakeholders, including employees, media, and investors. It involves owned content, social media, community building, speaking opportunities, and media relations (PR). No single tactic is superior; the optimal strategy depends on answering three core questions: What are your business goals? Who is your target audience? What is the best way to reach them? A consistent core narrative is paramount. The piece particularly defends the enduring value of media relations (PR), which, despite its controversial reputation in tech, remains a crucial tool. Media coverage provides third-party validation, expands reach to new audiences (potential employees, clients, influencers), and drives traffic back to owned channels. It is compared to business development (BD), where building genuine relationships with journalists is key. To break through the noise, founders are advised to: 1) Be their own best spokesperson, 2) Build relationships with media like doing BD, 3) View media as neither friend nor foe but as entities seeking good stories, and 4) Contextualize their story within larger industry or global narratives. The article concludes that the best defense against potential negative press is a good offense: proactively building communication channels and media relationships before a crisis strikes.

Bermuda Partners with Circle and Coinbase for World’s First On-Chain National Economy
