Stock Price Surges Over 35%! Circle's Earnings Report Exceeds Expectations: USDC Circulation Soars 72%

Circle (CRCL) reported strong Q4 and full-year 2025 financial results, with total revenue and reserve income reaching $770 million in Q4, up 77% year-over-year, exceeding expectations. This drove a 35% surge in its stock price. Key highlights include a 72% YoY increase in USDC circulation to $75.3 billion and a 247% rise in on-chain transaction volume to $11.9 trillion in Q4. Reserve income remained the core revenue driver at $733 million, while non-interest income reached $37 million. For the full year, total revenue grew 64% to $2.7 billion. Although the company reported a net loss of $70 million due to a one-time $424 million stock-based compensation expense from its IPO, adjusted EBITDA doubled to $582 million, indicating profitable core operations. Strategic developments include the stable testnet performance of its Arc blockchain, expansion of the Circle Payments Network with 55 financial institutions onboarded, and a key partnership with Polymarket to use native USDC. Regulatory progress includes conditional approval for a national trust bank. Looking ahead, Circle targets a 40% compound annual growth rate for USDC circulation. CEO Jeremy Allaire emphasized AI-driven payment demand, with 99% of agent-based payments currently using USDC. Despite challenges like declining yields and new competitors like USAT, Circle continues to execute its strategy as a growing internet financial infrastructure provider.

Bitcoin Depot Tightens The Rules: Show Your ID Or No Deal

Bitcoin Depot, the largest US Bitcoin ATM operator, has implemented a mandatory ID verification requirement for every transaction, not just initial sign-ups. This policy change, effective February 2026, is a direct response to the $333 million Americans lost to crypto ATM fraud last year. The move addresses a critical gap, as previous rules only required ID checks for new users, allowing scammers to exploit returning customers. Facing legal pressure—including a lawsuit from Massachusetts Attorney General and a $1.9 million settlement in Maine—the company aims to enhance security and protect consumers, particularly the elderly targeted in government impersonation and tech support scams. With over 9,000 kiosks, this new rule is a significant shift for the dominant player in the US market.

Former Chainlink Exec Replaces Michael Selig As SEC’s Crypto Task Force Chief Counsel

Former Chainlink executive Taylor Lindman has been appointed as the new Chief Counsel of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force, replacing Michael Selig, who moved to the CFTC. Lindman, who served in senior legal roles at Chainlink Labs for five years, will lead legal interpretation, compliance, and risk management efforts. The task force, established under Commissioner Hester Peirce, aims to develop a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. The SEC and CFTC are collaborating on joint initiatives to harmonize rules, clarify jurisdiction, and reduce regulatory fragmentation. Upcoming efforts include guidance on token classification, innovation exemptions, custody rules, and modernizing transfer agent regulations.

Staking Tokens for Equity: How Does Backpack's 'Users Become Shareholders' Work?

Backpack, a Solana-based wallet and exchange platform founded by ex-FTX member Armani Ferrante, has announced a novel staking-to-equity conversion plan. Users who stake the platform’s native token for at least one year can exchange it for real company equity at a fixed ratio, with 20% of equity reserved for this purpose. The platform emerged after FTX’s collapse, having lost 80% of its initial funding from FTX Ventures. It gradually built a user base through its Mad Lads NFT collection and later expanded into exchange services, securing regulatory licenses in Dubai and Europe. Backpack tokenomics includes a total supply of 1 billion tokens, with 62.5% pre-IPO allocation. The TGE will release 250 million tokens, entirely distributed to users. The project is also negotiating a $50 million funding round at a $1 billion valuation. This dual-token-and-equity model presents regulatory challenges, particularly from the SEC, which may view tokens as securities. The structure risks conflicts between token holders and equity investors. While unprecedented in crypto, Backpack’s team includes former Coinbase advisors who had previously explored similar token-equity hybrid models. This approach aims to transform users into legal co-owners, offering an alternative to the typical “peak at launch” token model. It remains a high-stakes experiment in regulatory and economic design.

MoneyGram Joins Cardano’s Midnight As Federated Mainnet Validator

MoneyGram has joined Midnight, a privacy-focused blockchain built on Cardano, as a federated mainnet validator ahead of its planned March launch. This move highlights Midnight’s strategy of partnering with established, compliance-heavy operators from payments, telecom, and fintech—rather than crypto-native firms—to ensure reliability and operational stability from day one. MoneyGram, alongside partners like Vodafone’s Pairpoint and eToro, will help explore how traditional payment networks can leverage blockchain for confidential, compliant transactions without exposing sensitive data. The federated model is framed as a step toward future decentralization, signaling broader institutional adoption of privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure.

Blockchain Association Calls For Modernized Crypto Tax Rules In New Release

The Blockchain Association has released a proposal titled "Digital Asset Tax Principles" to modernize U.S. crypto taxation. The framework calls for practical rules that reflect the realities of digital assets, aiming to reduce compliance burdens and support U.S. competitiveness. Key recommendations include a de minimis exemption for small transactions, treating stablecoins as cash, and taxing mining and staking rewards only upon sale. It also advocates for consistent treatment of similar economic activities, nonrecognition for non-material changes, and privacy-conscious reporting. The proposal seeks to close loopholes while encouraging onshore digital asset activity. Currently, the IRS treats crypto as property, subject to capital gains or ordinary income tax.

Why crypto groups want to rewrite IRS tax rules — and what would actually change

The Blockchain Association and crypto advocacy groups are pushing for a fundamental reform of IRS tax rules, arguing that current regulations—which treat digital assets as property—are outdated and create excessive compliance burdens. Under existing rules, nearly every crypto transaction, including trading, spending, and staking, triggers a taxable event, requiring detailed tracking of each transaction. The proposed changes seek to modernize tax treatment by deferring taxes until crypto is converted to fiat, creating exemptions for staking and validation, and simplifying cost-basis tracking for on-chain activity. The goal is to align tax system with how blockchain is actually used—not to eliminate taxes entirely. This debate is gaining urgency as the IRS increases enforcement and reporting requirements. The crypto groups warn that without updated rules, the U.S. risks stifling innovation or pushing it offshore. However, any changes would require legislative or regulatory action, and the IRS maintains that current rules already suffice. For now, the existing framework remains in effect.

Crypto.com Moves Closer To Full Bank Status With Conditional US Charter Approval

Crypto.com has received conditional approval from the OCC to establish a national trust bank, moving closer to becoming a federally regulated qualified custodian. The firm aims to offer custody, staking, and trade settlement services under the name Crypto.com National Trust Bank. This follows similar approvals for other crypto firms like Circle, Ripple, and BitGo. However, the American Bankers Association has urged the OCC to pause further approvals, citing unresolved concerns over customer asset segregation, cybersecurity, and operational risks. Despite regulatory progress, Crypto.com’s native token CRO has declined 20% over the past month.

Ex-Chainlink Lawyer Named SEC Crypto Chief Counsel

Taylor Lindman, formerly Deputy General Counsel at Chainlink Labs, has been appointed as the new chief counsel of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force. He brings over a decade of legal experience, including expertise in digital asset regulation and compliance from his time at Chainlink, where he worked on token classification and securities requirements. Lindman will serve as the senior legal advisor to the task force, guiding legal interpretation, regulatory risk management, and policy development. His appointment reflects the SEC’s increasing incorporation of industry veterans into key roles, signaling a shift toward more nuanced, experienced oversight of crypto markets. The move may influence future regulatory approaches to token classification, custody, and disclosure. Lindman succeeds Michael Selig, who now chairs the CFTC, suggesting potential for inter-agency coordination in shaping U.S. crypto policy.
