Circle’s Stablecoin Infrastructure Just Got A Major European Upgrade — And It’s Already Processing Trillions

Orbital, a global payment orchestration platform, has partnered with Banking Circle, a fully MiCA-compliant bank, as its primary European banking partner to expand stablecoin settlement and multi-currency payment capabilities. This integration connects Orbital's platform directly to Banking Circle's infrastructure, which processes over €1.5 trillion annually. The partnership provides Orbital's clients with instant, 24/7 two-way conversion between fiat currencies and stablecoins like USDC, USDG, and EURI. It also consolidates access to SEPA, named IBANs, and compliance checks into a single layer. Banking Circle's unique simultaneous holding of banking, electronic money token, and Crypto-Asset Service Provider licenses in Luxembourg positions it as a comprehensively regulated EU digital asset settlement bank. This collaboration arrives as Europe's MiCA regulation is enforced, offering institutional clients a unified regulatory framework for both stablecoin and traditional payment operations.

Crypto Confidence Surges As Italy’s Largest Bank Doubles Holdings In Q1

Italy's largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, significantly increased its crypto holdings in Q1, doubling their value from about $100 million to $235 million. This shift involved moving toward established assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum through ETFs while nearly exiting its position in Solana. The bank's strategy indicates a preference for blue-chip cryptocurrencies over higher-risk alternatives. This activity aligns with a broader European trend where major banks like Spain's BBVA and France's BPCE are expanding into crypto services for clients. Furthermore, a consortium of 12 European banks, including BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank, plans to launch a MiCA-compliant, euro-backed stablecoin in late 2026.

Bitcoin Treasury Race Heats Up As Capital B Secures $18 Million

Europe's second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Capital B, has secured €15.2 million (approx. $17.8 million) from a private share placement. The raise was notably backed by Blockstream CEO Adam Back and asset manager TOBAM. The company could potentially receive an additional $116.5 million if attached warrants are exercised. Capital B plans to use the funds, alongside operational revenue, to acquire around 182 more Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to roughly 3,125 BTC, valued at approximately $237 million. This move stands in contrast to other corporate treasury firms that have been selling Bitcoin or setting up hedging programs amid recent market softness. Capital B shares rose about 4.25% following the announcement.

CertiK Releases Skynet Report: 'Wrench Attacks' Surge 75% in 2025, Physical Violence Becomes Major Threat in Crypto Space

CertiK's Skynet Report reveals a 75% surge in "wrench attacks" in 2025, where physical violence, kidnapping, or intimidation is used to force cryptocurrency holders to surrender private keys or passwords. These attacks, which bypass technical defenses to target individuals directly, resulted in over $40.9 million in confirmed losses—a 44% year-on-year increase. Europe emerged as the highest-risk region, accounting for over 40% of incidents, with France recording the most cases. The report highlights a trend toward increased violence, with physical assaults rising by 250%, and notes that attacks are becoming more organized, often executed by transnational criminal groups using OSINT, signal jammers, and Faraday bags. Targets have broadened from high-value individuals like executives to ordinary holders and their families. CertiK warns that the actual scale of such attacks is likely underestimated due to low reporting rates. Recommendations include using decoy wallets, geographic separation of seed phrases, multisig mechanisms, and comprehensive security training for individuals and organizations. The study underscores that protecting people, not just assets, is critical as wrench attacks become a structured threat in the crypto ecosystem.

a16z: Without Relying on Interest Spreads or Burning Cash, How Does Revolut Become Europe's Most Profitable Neobank?

Revolut has emerged as Europe's most profitable neobank, achieving exceptional growth and efficiency without relying heavily on net interest income. In 2025, Revolut reported £4.5 billion in revenue (46% growth) and £1.7 billion in pre-tax profit (57% growth), with a remarkable 38% profit margin. Its user base grew by 30% to 68 million, while maintaining a diversified revenue stream across six business lines, none exceeding 22% of total income. Key to its success is a fee-based model (76% of revenue), contrasting traditional banks that depend on interest income. Revolut’s rule of 75% (revenue growth + profit margin) and 35% ROE far exceed industry averages. The company’s growth is driven by rapid customer acquisition, high user satisfaction (NPS double the industry average), and efficient operations enhanced by AI. With significant room to expand both its user base and average revenue per user (ARPU), particularly through primary account adoption and lending, Revolut is positioned to become a global banking leader. It has applied for a U.S. bank charter, underscoring its ambitious growth trajectory beyond Europe.

Meme Coins on a Decline, Nearly Mirror European Markets

Meme coins are experiencing a significant decline, nearly mirroring losses in European markets. This downturn is largely driven by the ongoing Middle East conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. Major meme coins like DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE have all fallen over 2.5% in 24 hours, with weekly losses for some, such as PIPPIN, exceeding 30%. The collective meme coin market cap dropped nearly 2%. European markets also extended their losses due to a sell-off linked to the geopolitical tensions, with the STOXX 600 index falling 1.3%. The European Central Bank's chief economist warned the conflict could increase inflation pressure and impact economic growth. Meanwhile, broader cryptocurrencies are attempting a recovery but have retraced from recent highs, with Bitcoin falling back to around $67k and Ethereum to $1,900. Notably, the AI crypto segment defied the trend, with tokens like NEAR posting gains over 12%.
