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.”

Crypto Bull Is Back, Which Assets Bounced the Hardest?

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant surge last week, with Bitcoin rallying over 26% to nearly $79,500, its strongest weekly gain since March 2023, fueling discussions of a renewed bull market. This rebound highlighted several key market dynamics. First, short-term directional shifts are increasingly tied to U.S. policy cycles. The rally was driven by two major catalysts: the U.S. Treasury's announcement to increase long-term bond buybacks, easing macro liquidity pressures, and former President Trump's push for clearer crypto legislation, boosting regulatory certainty and risk appetite. Second, Bitcoin spot ETFs solidified their role as a leading market indicator. In the week ending August 21, U.S. Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs saw a combined net inflow of $2.6 billion, the highest since October 2025, signaling strong institutional re-entry. Third, the rally followed a clear capital rotation pattern: Bitcoin's breakout ignited broader gains, with Ethereum (up nearly 30%), major altcoins, and meme coins sequentially posting larger percentage increases. Analysis of the top performers among the top 50 altcoins by market cap revealed the week's biggest gainers: ENA (Ethena) led with a 100.75% surge, fueled by a Coinbase partnership. It was followed by PUMP (Pump.fun, up 88-99%), STX (Stacks, up 82-94%), TRUMP (Official Trump, up 79-91%), and ZEC (Zcash, up 75.15%), which uniquely reached a new all-time high. Meme coins like BOME on Solana also saw explosive gains, exemplifying the high-risk, high-reward sentiment. The rally illustrated a clear path: Bitcoin set the stage, major coins like Ethereum led the charge, and altcoins/meme coins delivered the most explosive returns, mapping the gradient of returning market enthusiasm.

Wuhan is About to Witness Its Largest IPO in History

Wuhan is poised for its largest-ever IPO as Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd. (YMTC) has officially applied for a listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market, seeking to raise 33 billion yuan. The domestic leader in 3D NAND flash memory chips completed its IPO辅导 (tutoring) process in a record three months, with market expectations valuing the company at 300 billion yuan or higher. YMTC's roots trace back to 2006 with the founding of Wuhan Xinxin. After surviving the global financial crisis and periods of operational difficulty, the company was formally established in 2016 through a joint investment involving Tsinghua Unigroup, the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (the "Big Fund"), and local Hubei government funds. With a distinct "national team" background, its major shareholders include provincial and municipal state-owned assets committees and the Big Fund. Based in Wuhan's Optics Valley (East Lake High-tech Development Zone), YMTC's potential listing highlights the region's rise as a tech hub. Optics Valley is already home to 72 listed companies and has ambitious plans to exceed 100 by 2030. The zone recently established four industry-focused母基金 (mother funds) totaling 18 billion yuan to further boost sectors like integrated circuits and optoelectronics. YMTC's IPO would complete the "Optics Valley Seven Stars," a group of leading local optoelectronic and communication giants.

Banks and Regulators Join Pilot Project to Test Quantum-Resistant Crypto Transfers

Banks and financial regulators from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia have joined a pilot project to test quantum-resistant crypto infrastructure for digital asset wallets and on-chain transactions. The initiative, announced by the Responsible Fintech Institute and infrastructure provider Safeheron, will use NEAR's quantum-resistant testnet. It will employ the ML-DSA-65 post-quantum digital signature standard, recently finalized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Participating regulators include the Abu Dhabi Global Market, Bhutan's Gelphu Financial Services Authority, and Malta's Financial Services Authority. Financial institutions involved are Bison Bank and DK Bank. In the pilot, banks will test wallet creation and transactions in a unified application environment, while regulators will initially observe and later contribute to governance mechanisms. The organizers plan to publish a technical paper detailing the research, protocol design, and test results, eventually open-sourcing the core technology. This effort comes as financial authorities prepare for the advent of quantum computers, which threaten current public-key cryptography. For instance, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority aims for the territory's banking sector to be fully prepared for quantum-related security risks by 2030. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) also recommended in a 2025 document that financial institutions begin a coordinated, phased transition to post-quantum systems.
