14 Years After Incubating Coinbase, YC Finally Decides to Issue Investment Funds in USDC

Y Combinator (YC), the renowned startup accelerator behind companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Coinbase, announced on February 3 that, starting from the Spring 2026 batch, it will offer its startups the option to receive their $500,000 investment in USDC stablecoin. This marks the first time YC has officially introduced a stablecoin payment method for its investments. The decision follows the U.S. GENIUS Act passed in July 2025, which established a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, requiring 1:1 reserve backing and granting holders redemption rights. This regulatory clarity has removed a major barrier to institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. YC's move is significant because it signals a shift from being a crypto investor to an active participant using stablecoins in its core operations. Benefits include near-instant, low-cost transactions, especially beneficial for international startups in regions like India and Latin America, where traditional banking can be slow and expensive. YC specifically selected USDC due to its U.S.-based issuer, Circle, and regulatory compliance. The accelerator will support USDC on Ethereum, Base, and Solana blockchains. While crypto-native VCs have used stablecoins before, YC’s standardized integration into its process for all startups—not just crypto projects—represents a major step for mainstream venture capital. This shift reflects broader trends: 90% of financial institutions are integrating stablecoins, which saw $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025. YC continues to seek founders in areas like stablecoin applications, tokenization, and on-chain ventures through its Fintech 3.0 initiative.

Using Claude to Scrape 260,000 Records, I Uncovered Epstein's Crypto Connections

The article investigates connections between Jeffrey Epstein and the cryptocurrency industry by analyzing 266,000 structured records from the Epstein Doc Explorer database, processed with Claude AI. Key findings include: - **Brock Pierce**, Tether co-founder and Bitcoin Foundation chairman, demonstrated Bitcoin to Epstein and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion. Their relationship, which included discussions on crypto volatility and potential investments, extended from 2011 to 2019. - **Blockchain Capital**'s fundraising documents were found in Epstein’s files, suggesting he was approached as a potential investor. Later reports confirmed Epstein invested in Coinbase and Blockstream, facilitated by Pierce. - **Jeremy Rubin**, a Bitcoin Core developer, communicated with Epstein in 2017 about Bitcoin regulation and funding for his research. Epstein offered structured financial support options. - **Joi Ito**, former MIT Media Lab director, used Epstein’s funds to finance the MIT Digital Currency Initiative, linking Epstein to core Bitcoin infrastructure research. Epstein himself showed sustained interest in crypto from 2008 until his arrest in 2019, analyzing Libra just days before. The evidence suggests he acted as an information broker, connecting crypto entrepreneurs, policymakers, and researchers, rather than being a direct investor or technologist. No direct links were found to major figures like CZ or Vitalik Buterin in the available data.

The Next Phase of RWA: The Return of Productive Assets

The RWA (Real World Assets) sector has demonstrated strong growth, reaching a total value of $22.9 billion as of early 2026, up significantly from late 2025. This expansion is driven by clearer regulations, institutional participation, and maturing infrastructure, marking a shift from conceptual validation to scalable implementation. The market is dominated by financial assets like U.S. Treasuries ($9.8 billion), commodities ($4.1 billion), and private credit ($2.4 billion), which are favored for their predictable returns, regulatory clarity, and compatibility with institutional risk frameworks. Ethereum holds about 60% of on-chain RWA value, reflecting a preference for chains with strong regulatory and settlement support. While current growth is largely fueled by financialized assets like repo agreements and Treasuries—serving as low-risk yield tools in DeFi and institutional portfolios—the next phase is expected to focus on productive assets such as infrastructure, energy projects, and receivables. These assets face liquidity constraints in traditional finance but can achieve greater efficiency and accessibility through tokenization. Compliance is increasingly integral to asset value, with regulatory frameworks like MiCA in Europe and stablecoin regulations in Hong Kong providing clearer pathways. The industry must address challenges including asset authenticity, operational risk standards, secondary market liquidity, and cross-jurisdictional compliance to achieve broader adoption. The future of RWA lies not in re-engineering already-liquid assets but in unlocking capital for real-world production, transforming how assets are financed and managed globally.
