USDC (USDC)

🔴 We're welcoming Thibault Pelé, Head of Product Emerging Technologies at @WorldlineGlobal, as a speaker at our private breakfast in Paris on July 7th! Worldline is Europe's payment infrastructure backbone: €4B in revenue, 1.2M customers, processing payments for banks and merchants across the continent. In April, it partnered with Circle to give financial institutions and PSPs access to stablecoin-powered settlement through a single API, without changing their existing fiat workflows. He'll join @jpmorgan and @coinbase, cutting to the core question: when stablecoin rails are live, compliant, and scaling, who controls the flow of value, and who ends up owning the client?

@PhyrexNi May I ask, what do you think Circle should do to change the situation and achieve multiple revenue sources? Should Circle accelerate building Arc and CPN?

Hurry up and wait. A financial system tale as old as time. On Arc, payments, FX, and treasury workflows are built to move in real time. Move fast. Move agentically. Move forward. https://t.co/rE5pm0U5PP

They finally wrote the law, and the law tells you exactly what they can reach. The GENIUS Act regulates a specific creature: the issuer. A company that takes your dollars, holds the reserve, and promises to hand them back. USDC. Tether. The statute's own definition of a payment stablecoin requires an issuer obligated to redeem. No issuer, no obligation, and the definition has nothing to hold. 🫪 Now read what the license costs: A permitted issuer may issue only if it has the technological capability to seize, freeze, or burn its coins on lawful order, and will comply. That is not a side effect. It is a condition of existence. Every stablecoin blessed by this law ships with a hand on it that is not yours. It was wired in by the same government that means to stand inside every transaction and turn every decision of free men into an application for permission. Regulators are already proposing to extend that hand into the secondary market, to the coins sitting in your wallet. ✅ Then read what the law refuse

I just got this message from wallchain 👀 and it looks like it's gonna be a first one for me the initial quote was closer to something that I would be ok with given my remarks below and submitted an updated offer which just got accepted really excited about this and very happy that my work and social capital are being recognized by wallchain in this select campaign lookin' forward to cooking on this 🧑🏻‍🍳

Nearly 70% of on-chain USDC ($45B) remains idle because institutions lack a clear, compliant path to access yield. @HBankCash is building the infrastructure to close that gap-connecting institutional capital with verified on-chain yield strategies. @hedera https://t.co/88hcWvo1Lw

SOLFLARE GUARDS Did you know that what you see in a transaction simulation is not the guaranteed outcome of that transaction? It's something that happens every day and almost nobody talks about it. A simulation is a snapshot. It shows what your transaction would do against the state of the chain at that exact moment. But Solana produces a new block roughly every 400 milliseconds, and a lot can change between the moment you sign and the moment your transaction actually lands. A simple example of how this gets abused: a malicious dapp asks you to sign a transaction with a program that reads a number stored in an account the attacker controls, then transfers that amount out of your wallet. When you sign, that account holds 10, so the simulation shows -10 USDC. Looks harmless. The moment you approve, the attacker changes the number to 1,000. Your transaction lands, the program reads 1,000, and 1,000 leaves your wallet. The simulation didn't lie. The state changed underneath it. This is what Solflare Guards w
