USDT remains the clear market leader with a 61.25% share. USDC comes in second with a $64.502 billion market cap, representing 23.92% market share.</p> <h2 id="h2-5Yy65Z2X6ZO+572R57uc5YiG5biD56iz5a6a5biB5biC5YC85YmN5LiJ572R57uc77ya">Top 3 Blockchain Networks by Stablecoin Market Cap:</h2><ol> <li>Ethereum: $135.786 billion</li><li>Tron: $82.995 billion</li><li>Solana: $11.431 billion</li></ol> <h3 id="h3-5ZGo5aKe6ZW/5pyA5b+r55qE572R57ucIFRPUDPvvJo=">Top 3 Fastest-Growing Networks This Week:</h3><ol> <li>Berachain: +96.57% (USDT: 43.15% share)</li><li>XRPL: +49.84% (RLUSD: 49.11% share)</li><li>Sei: +47.95% (USDC: 85.96% share)</li></ol> <p>Source: DefiLlama</p> <h2 id="h2-8J+Or+e+juWbveOAiumTtuihjOS/neWvhuazleOAi+WSjOeos+WumuW4geaUr+S7mOeahOmakOengeimgeaxgg==">U.S. Bank Secrecy Act and Stablecoin Payment Privacy Requirements</h2><p>After the U.S. Stablecoin Act passed, privacy is now the next key concern for both regulators and the market.</p> <p>With stablecoin market cap breaking $270 billion and moving rapidly into mainstream payments, the “total transparency” of on-chain transactions is exposing new issues. On a public blockchain, every transaction is permanently accessible, which means that for enterprises, complete financial histories, supply chain details, and payroll structures become visible to competitors. While a nuisance for retail users, this is a hard stop for institutions and businesses. Real-time visibility enables competitors to track every payment. Without a solution, stablecoin adoption in commercial payments and institutional settlements will be seriously limited.</p> <p>Should privacy remain a hurdle, stablecoin institutional and commercial adoption will stall. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal recently noted that for the GENIUS Act and similar laws to be effective, simultaneous upgrades to the Bank Secrecy Act are essential. The current system is inefficient and creates centralized data honeypots of sensitive data, which are hacker targets and offer minimal benefits for anti-money laundering.</p> <p>Grewal emphasized privacy and security should not be mutually exclusive. Emerging technologies like zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and decentralized identity (DID) now provide “compliance verification without disclosing raw user data,” so institutions can view only the results of compliance checks—not the full data sets. This balances data minimization and effective regulation. He called for the U.S. Treasury Department to lead public-private collaboration, accelerate compliance processes that are ZKP-ready, focus monitoring on suspicious transaction triggers, and apply AI-driven risk control models to improve screening. The result: privacy protection without undermining regulatory rigor, removing obstacles to large-scale institutional adoption of stablecoins, and helping the US maintain global digital asset leadership.</p> <h2 id="h2-8J+Or+e+juWbveWIqeaBr+emgeS7pOS4i++8jOeos+WumuW4geeahOOAjOWlluWKsee7j+a1juWtpuOAjQ==">U.S. Interest Ban Spurs New Stablecoin “Reward Economics”</h2><p>Regulatory restrictions often spark unexpected innovation. The GENIUS Act prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest, intended to curb risky behaviors, but instead accelerated explosive growth in yield-oriented stablecoins. Since the Act, products like Ethena’s USDe have added billions in supply, using exchange funding rates (not Treasuries) for yields—sidestepping legal restrictions entirely.</p> <p>In this regulatory gap, Coinbase and PayPal have reframed stablecoin returns as “rewards,” circumventing issuer-only rules. Coinbase, acting as a USDC distributor, passes on Circle’s earnings to users. PayPal uses Paxos to isolate issuer risk and still delivers 4.5% annualized returns. Anchorage and Ethena Labs have even linked stablecoin yields to tokenized assets like BlackRock’s BUIDL, enabling compliant institutional yield channels.</p> <p>Paying returns to holders is a key strategy for attracting capital in both emerging and established markets. Coinbase has even API-integrated “interest rewards” via a wallet SDK, lowering integration barriers for developers. In high-inflation markets such as Latin America, Slash’s USDSL delivers a 4.5% annual reward, leveraging dollar-denominated assets to attract rapid inflows. Stablecoins are applying more complex, compliant financial engineering, efficiently channeling returns from underlying assets and rewriting user and value dynamics.</p> <h3 id="h3-8J+Or+mmmea4r+OAiueos+WumuW4geadoeS+i+OAi+eUn+aViOeahOWFs+mUruivjeKAlOKAlOmAj+aYjuS4juWFqOmTvui3r+ebkeeuoQ==">Transparency & End-to-End Oversight: The Core of Hong Kong’s Stablecoin Regulation</h3><p>With Hong Kong’s Stablecoin Ordinance now in force, market debates center on mandatory KYC, policies for offshore stablecoins, and DeFi compatibility. In reality, <a href="https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MzI0ODgzMDE5MA==&amp;mid=2247510734&amp;idx=1&amp;sn=368a5a6ed3d067ba05eacbb4be234dd7&amp;scene=21#wechat_redirect">the regulation’s essence is targeted control—not broad prohibition—for stablecoins issued or HKD-denominated in Hong Kong, especially RMB-related tokenized assets</a>. Offshore stablecoins like USDT, USDC, etc. remain largely unrestricted in secondary markets. The city’s strategy is clear: hold tight control over issuance and apply rigorous compliance to high-value scenarios such as RMB tokenization and offshore RMB stablecoins, establishing “quasi-sovereign settlement instruments” and differentiating from the US- and EU-driven models.</p> <p>Transparency and full-chain oversight are the ordinance’s keywords. Strict standards span the entire stablecoin lifecycle—from issuance, custody, and clearing to distribution—with steep licensing requirements. Downstream custody, distribution, and clearing providers must also meet compliance. Banks, payment services, and blockchain infrastructure firms are unified in a single framework, with the market moving from “open access” to “permissioned access.” MPC wallet, compliance, and risk control technology providers will become the primary partners for banks and tech firms alike.</p> <p>This regulatory rigor brings new challenges. Issuers are now fully responsible for downstream compliance—including custody, distribution, clearing, and other third parties. Any new entrant must meet both technical and organizational requirements, pushing the sector toward professionalization and giving infrastructure providers massive new opportunities. For example, technology vendors providing multi-signature, MPC, HSM, and related mechanisms—especially MPC wallets—will help issuers make private key security a foundation of trust, balancing asset sovereignty and legal traceability. Wallets now serve as critical entry points for compliance and security architectures, rather than merely back-end tools.</p> <h2 id="h2-5biC5Zy66YeH55So">Market Adoption</h2><h3 id="h3-8J+MseaRqeagueWkp+mAmu+8mkRlRmkg5ZKM6LWE5Lqn6YCa6K+B5YyW5aKe6ZW/44CM5LuN5Luk5Lq65aSx5pyb44CN">JPMorgan: “DeFi & Tokenization Growth Still Disappointing”</h3><h3 id="h3-6KaB54K56YCf6KeI">Highlights</h3><ul> <li>DeFi total value locked (TVL) has not yet returned to 2021 highs; primary players are still retail and crypto-native firms, with minimal traditional institutional activity.</li><li>Tokenized global assets total only about $25 billion—analysts call this “insignificant.” Of 60+ tokenized bonds, combined value is just $8 billion; secondary market trading is nearly zero.</li><li>Institutions face three hurdles: lack of cross-border regulatory alignment, ambiguous legal status for on-chain investing, and insufficient smart contract/protocol safety guarantees.</li></ul> <p>Why This Matters</p> <ul> <li>The report shows a major gap between DeFi/tokenization hype and real-world use. Infrastructure is improving and KYC-compliant vaults and permissioned lending pools are emerging, but traditional finance remains cautious. The report notes the mainstream system is moving toward faster, cheaper settlements via fintech, which may diminish the need for blockchain rails—pushing crypto to deliver more convincing institutional-grade apps.</li></ul> <h3 id="h3-8J+MsSBSZW1pdGx5IOWQr+eUqOeos+WumuW4geaKgOacr+S8mOWMlui3qOWig+aUr+S7mOS4muWKoSDvvIzlsIbmjqjlh7rlpJrluIHnp43mlbDlrZfpkrHljIXmnI3liqE=">Remitly Deploys Stablecoin Tech to Optimize Cross-Border Payments; Multi-Currency Wallet Coming</h3><p>Highlights</p> <ul> <li>Remitly’s multi-currency “Remitly Wallet” launches September, supporting both fiat and stablecoin balances—targeted at users in high-inflation/volatile markets.</li><li>In partnership with Stripe’s Bridge, Remitly will offer stablecoin payout to users in over 170 countries, expanding beyond fiat rails.</li><li>Remitly now uses USDC and similar dollar stablecoins for internal treasury management, enabling 24/7 capital flows, reducing pre-funding, and increasing efficiency.</li></ul> <p>Why This Matters</p> <ul> <li>This is the first large-scale use of stablecoin technology by a mainstream cross-border payments provider. Integrating stablecoins, Remitly offers both inflation-hedging for customers in unstable markets and liquidity solutions for remittance systems. Stablecoin adoption in real payments will advance, better serving hundreds of millions who depend on cross-border financial services, particularly in regions lacking traditional financial infrastructure.</li></ul> <h3 id="h3-8J+MsSBUZXRoZXIgQ0VP77yaNDAlIOWMuuWdl+mTvuaJi+e7rei0uea6kOiHqiBVU0RUIOi9rOi0pg==">Tether CEO: 40% of Blockchain Gas Fees Are USDT Transfers</h3><p>Highlights</p> <ul> <li>Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino posted that 40% of all blockchain transaction fees (across 9 major chains) are for USDT transfers.</li><li>Hundreds of millions in emerging markets use USDT daily to hedge against local currency depreciation and inflation—making it one of the world’s most active blockchain apps.</li><li>In the context of crypto, “transactions” usually refer to trading, arbitrage, etc. on exchanges—not always requiring on-chain transfers. A USDT on-chain transfer (with fee) typically signals real movement between wallets—not mere speculation.</li></ul> <p>Why This Matters</p> <ul> <li>USDT is now the dominant blockchain application, far ahead of other uses. Paolo predicts future competition in blockchain will center on gas fee optimization and USDT-related costs. Stablecoins have evolved from trading tools to real-world financial infrastructure, especially in volatile economies—demonstrating real progress in financial inclusion via crypto.</li></ul> <h2 id="h2-5a6P6KeC6LaL5Yq/8J+UrueRnuepl+mTtuihjO+8mkNvaW5iYXNlIFEyIOi0ouaKpeaYvuekuiBDaXJjbGUgVVNEQyDliKnmtqbnjofmraPlnKjokI7nvKk=">Macro Trends Mizuho: Circle USDC Profits Squeezed per Coinbase Q2 Earnings</h2><p>Highlights</p> <ul> <li>Mizuho analysts estimate Circle earned $625 million in Q2 interest from USDC reserves; $332.5 million of this went to Coinbase.</li><li>With Binance and other new partners joining, Circle’s net reserve margin faces growing cost pressure.</li><li>After the GENIUS Act, JPMorgan and Bank of America both plan to launch stablecoins, stoking USD stablecoin competition.</li></ul> <p>Why This Matters</p> <ul> <li>Despite strong IPO performance, Mizuho keeps an “Underperform” rating and $85 target for Circle, warning markets underestimate USDC risk. As profit-sharing with Coinbase ends and distribution broadens, Circle’s profitability faces headwinds—especially as rates fall and banks pile in. This shift could reshape the stablecoin market.</li></ul> <h3 id="h3-8J+Urue+jui0ouaUv+mDqOWIm+e6quW9leaJqeWkp+efreacn+WbveWAuuWPkeihjO+8jOeos+WumuW4geaIkOaWsOS5sOWutg==">U.S. Treasury Bill Issuance Hits Record—Stablecoins a New Source of Demand</h3><p>Highlights</p> <ul> <li>The U.S. Treasury will auction $100 billion in 4-week T-bills—a record, up $5 billion from last round. 8- and 17-week bill sizes remain unchanged.</li><li>Short-dated yields >4% are fueling inflows—$16.7 billion entered T-bill ETFs in Q2, double YoY.</li><li>The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee flagged rising stablecoin issuance as a new source of T-bill demand. The GENIUS Act obliges issuers to hold Treasuries as safe collateral.</li></ul> <p>Why This Matters</p> <ul> <li>The Trump administration prefers short-term borrowing. Treasury Secretary Bessent says long-term issuance is too costly at current rates. Stablecoin demand is now a structural factor in T-bill markets, as regulation orders issuers to hold safe assets. Meanwhile, central banks are cutting USD reserves in favor of gold—BofA sees gold possibly breaking $4,000 as debt sustainability fears climb.</li></ul> <h3 id="h3-8J+UruOAikdFTklVUyDms5XmoYjjgIvpgJrov4fku6XmnaXmlLbnm4rlnovnqLPlrprluIHkvpvlupTmv4Dlop4=">Yield Stablecoin Supply Surges Post GENIUS Act</h3><p>Highlights</p> <ul> <li>Since July 18, supply of Ethena’s USDe yield stablecoin has grown 70% to $9.49 billion, now the #3 stablecoin by market cap.</li><li>Sky’s USDS grew 23% to $4.81 billion, ranking fourth.
