  • Переговоры находятся на ранней стадии и могут не привести к сделке.
  • Покупка BVNK станет крупнейшим приобретением в секторе стейблкоинов.
  • Компании стремятся укрепить позиции в платежной инфраструктуре нового поколения.

Американская биржа Coinbase и платежный гигант Mastercard провели предварительные переговоры о покупке британского стартапа BVNK, сообщает Fortune. Сделка оценивается в диапазоне от $1,5 до $2,5 млрд и может стать крупнейшей в истории сегмента стейблкоинов.

По данным источников, на данный момент инициативу проявляет Coinbase, однако окончательное решение не принято.

Потенциальная покупка BVNK отражает растущую конкуренцию между традиционными платежными системами и криптокомпаниями, считают эксперты. По их мнению, стейблкоины уже превратились из нишевого инструмента в часть мировой финансовой инфраструктуры.

Сделка может стать ответом на приобретение Stripe компании Bridge в 2024 году за $1,1 млрд.

BVNK основана в 2021 году Крисом Хармсом, Джесси Хемсон-Стразерсом и Дональдом Джексоном. Стартап помогает компаниям использовать стейблкоины для трансграничных платежей, корпоративных расчетов и казначейских операций.

В декабре 2024 года BVNK привлекла $50 млн при оценке около $750 млн. Среди инвесторов оказались Haun Ventures, Tiger Global, а также венчурные подразделения Visa, Citi и Coinbase Ventures.

Если одна из компаний приобретет BVNK, это укрепит ее позиции в инфраструктуре цифровых платежей. Для Coinbase покупка может означать расширение за пределы биржевого бизнеса, а для Mastercard — шаг к интеграции блокчейн-технологий в традиционные платежные процессы.

По словам инсайдеров, интерес платежного гиганта к BVNK стремление адаптировать бизнес к будущему, где расчеты в стейблкоинах могут сосуществовать с традиционными валютами.

«Большинство потоков будут начинаться и заканчиваться в фиате, но стейблкоины займут свое место», — заявил ранее директор по коммерческим платежам Mastercard Радж Сешадри.

Напомним, мы писали, что Банк Англии намерен ослабить ограничения в отношении стейблкоинов.

Bank of Russia: 12 Largest Banks to Connect Digital Ruble from September 1, 2026

The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) announced that all 12 of the country's systemically important banks will be ready to offer clients digital ruble accounts and transactions starting September 1, 2026. According to Alla Bakina, director of the CBR's national payment system department, these banks cover over 80% of the domestic payment market. The digital ruble is described as a new form of the existing currency, functioning as a cashless payment method but held directly in a user's wallet on the CBR platform. Nine other banks designated as significant payment market participants are also expected to provide access, with most aiming to complete integration by autumn 2026. Starting from the September launch date, major retail chains with annual revenue exceeding 120 million rubles will be required to accept digital ruble payments, though adoption for citizens remains voluntary. The rollout follows a delayed pilot phase, with mass implementation postponed from 2025. The CBR's model currently offers basic account functionality without interest accrual, unlike China's digital yuan, which began paying interest in early 2026. The announcement positions Russia among dozens of countries testing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), though the digital ruble's potential role in cross-border settlements, particularly within BRICS, remains an open question for its future international relevance.

MSX US Stock Daily Observation: Baidu 2026 Q2 Earnings: AI Revenue Accounts for Half of Core Business for Two Consecutive Quarters, 283% GPU Cloud Growth Boosts Business Transformation

**MSX Daily US Stock Observation: Baidu 2026 Q2 Earnings Report** Baidu's Q2 2026 earnings present a clear picture of a company in transition. Total revenue declined slightly to RMB 313.25 billion, missing market expectations. This was driven by a continued double-digit contraction (-19%) in its core online marketing (advertising) business. The key highlight is the structural shift within the company's operations. AI-related revenue reached RMB 125 billion, accounting for approximately half of Baidu's core business income for the second consecutive quarter. Within AI, growth is heavily skewed towards infrastructure: AI cloud infrastructure revenue grew 50% year-over-year to RMB 73 billion, with GPU cloud revenue surging 283%. In contrast, AI application and AI-native marketing services revenue grew only 3% and remained flat, respectively, indicating slower commercialization on the application side. Profitability metrics were mixed. While adjusted operating profit and EBITDA exceeded expectations, demonstrating cost control, adjusted earnings per ADS of RMB 7.22 fell short by about 26%. This gap is largely attributed to depreciation and amortization costs linked to significant AI infrastructure investments, which continue to pressure bottom-line profit realization. The company holds a substantial cash position of RMB 2831 billion, providing runway for continued investment. The critical challenge ahead is translating the explosive growth in AI infrastructure (like GPU cloud) into stronger monetization from AI applications to bridge the gap between operational profit and per-share earnings.

Bitwise CIO: Three Major Cognitive Errors Common Among Crypto Investors Today

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan highlights three key misconceptions he believes many crypto investors currently hold, presenting them as opportunities for those who see beyond them. First, investors significantly underestimate the total addressable market for crypto applications. While many view platforms like Uniswap only as tools for trading crypto assets (a ~$2 trillion market), their true potential lies in tokenizing and trading *all* asset classes—such as stocks and bonds—which represent markets hundreds of trillions of dollars in size. Second, there's a persistent overestimation of traditional financial institutions' ability to dominate crypto-native sectors. Examples like PayPal's stable币 (with ~1% market share vs. Tether/Circle's 88%) and Fidelity's custody business (trailing Coinbase) show that crypto-native firms often win due to faster iteration, focused expertise, and established user trust within the crypto ecosystem. Third, investors linearly extrapolate future on-chain transaction volumes from today's data, severely underestimating potential growth. The shift to 24/7 trading for tokenized assets could multiply trading hours by 5x. When combined with AI agents that may execute trades far more frequently than humans, transaction volumes could grow by 10x to 100x, massively boosting revenue for underlying blockchains and applications. Hougan concludes that the gap between the rapid pace of industry change and slower mainstream perception updates creates significant investment opportunities.
