1:1 reserve + regulated custody, this is much more reassuring than some shady WBTC options.

1:1 reserve talk sounds nice, but whether the audit report can be disclosed in real-time is the real issue

This move by Circle is brilliant, as it both captures BTC price gains and earns stablecoin transaction fees.

The point about regulated entities holding custody is very important; even the SEC can't find any fault with it.

Native BTC reserves + Circle endorsement, will institutional funds flow in on a large scale?
