Today, Mastercard is announcing plans to expand settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday, and weekend options, giving partners more choice in how and when transactions are settled. That means we’re: ✅ Enabling greater choice to settle in fiat or regulated stablecoins ✅ Improving liquidity management for time sensitive, cross border flows We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.

Exciting launch today, something we've been designing and brainstorming for the last few years. We're finally ready to bring it to the world. CMS enables a structure with traditional familiar markets like foreign exchange (FX). It is the next evolution in the market structure that was started by off-exchange settlement configurations of the past decade. In short, Atlas CMS allows each party to focus where they are exceptional: - Exchanges and other non-custodial venues operate as non-custodial matching engines - Prime brokers and intermediaries manage credit, margin, and client relationships - Anchorage Digital provides qualified custody and coordinated settlement through its independent, federally-regulated bank This separation of roles aligns digital asset trading with existing rails, regulatory frameworks, and internal risk models used by banks, hedge funds, and market infrastructure providers. Rather than requiring institutions to adapt to uncomfortable crypto-native workflows, CMS allows digital asset trading and settlement to resemble the systems they already trust.

INSIGHT: @Citi projects the tokenized securities market will grow from $17B today to $5.5T by 2030.

Update: I’ve left Coinbase. I’m starting a company. I’ll continue to be involved with x402 as a member of the Technical Steering Committee with the foundation, and as an advisor to Coinbase on agentic commerce. I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done in @CoinbaseDev. It's truly an elite team executing at the highest of levels. Many exciting things coming soon 👀. @yugacohler will be taking the helm as Head of Engineering, he’s a rockstar, he’ll crush it. It's been an exceptional second tour of duty at Coinbase. It was a hard decision to leave, but there's an idea in my head I need to get into the world. Big thank you to @barmstrong, @emiliemc and @nemild for bringing me back, and to @alecglovett, @yuga @brian__foster and everyone else in CDP - it's been an honour.

This is one of the most anticipated and exciting product launches in a long time. So excited to work with @CashApp to enable global digital dollar interoperability!!

Running for a long time is likely but you must be ready to sprint at any given moment.

One of my favorite things about these demos is that there is no jazz hands - all product. Awesome to see the @get_para platform continue to evolve!

All of the world’s value is coming onchain

The agentic economy will be larger than the human economy. And it’s happening on Base.

I remind myself of this quite often.

Focus is the greatest commodity of man.

UPDATE: the Clarity Act has passed out of the Senate Banking Committee. Congrats to Chairman @SenatorTimScott @SenLummis @BernieMoreno and their staffs on a job well done. Thank you also to @SenThomTillis for his efforts to ensure that today’s vote was bipartisan.

Let's go! Now BUIDL is officially AAA rated.

USDC is becoming the standard across crypto markets. Coinbase is deploying USDC on @HyperliquidX to help grow the ecosystem and scale how capital moves. Hyperliquid.

Buried on page 230 of the CLARITY Act is arguably the biggest win for the digital asset industry in the entire 309-page bill. Section 604: The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. If you build open-source blockchain software and don't have unilateral control over users' funds, you are not a money transmitter. Not under FinCEN rules. Not under federal criminal law. Not under state registration requirements. Writing code ≠ money transmission. Building self-custody tools ≠ money transmission. Running node infrastructure ≠ money transmission. For years, developers have operated under the threat that publishing code could expose them to money transmission charges. Section 604 eliminates that ambiguity entirely. It establishes a clear, codified legal protection for the people who actually build the open-source infrastructure this industry runs on. Senate Banking markup is Thursday. Read the bill.

2026 Maple Q1 Report Today we're releasing our Maple Finance Q1 2026 Report. We've been covering Maple for over a year now, started when few were paying attention and this quarter gives us something meaningful to document. Q1 threw everything at the protocol: a -20% crypto market drawdown, geopolitical shocks, and two distinct redemption waves. Here's how Maple came out the other side: → AUM closed at $4.66B ( 517% YoY) → Maple's revenue: $6.51M ( 451% YoY) → Zero forced liquidations. 70 margin calls resolved in a few hours at peak stress. Enjoy the read. Some excerpts below, with the link to the full PDF and spreadsheet with historical data. @maplefinance ethereum:0x643c4e15d7d62ad0abec4a9bd4b001aa3ef52d66
