The company behind USDC sold 740 million tokens at $0.30 each. BlackRock, a16z, Apollo, and ICE all bought in. The question is what Circle needs a blockchain for when it already runs a $77 billion stablecoin.
Trump announced a peace deal with Iran. Bitcoin spiked to $77,000, then crashed to $74,300. Spot ETFs lost $2.26 billion in two weeks. Warsh took over the Fed. Clarity Act got delayed. And Arthur Hayes bet $6.3 million that none of it matters for HYPE.
Tokenized real-world assets have tripled in 17 months. U.S. Treasuries account for $16 billion. Ethereum carries 60% of the total value. BlackRock's BUIDL fund alone passed $2.5 billion.

Tether's USDT dominates with $185 billion in market cap but faces ongoing transparency questions. Circle's USDC is smaller at $78 billion but audited monthly by Deloitte, MiCA-compliant, and now leads in transaction volume. Here is what the data says about which one to trust with long-term holdings.
MSBT debuted on NYSE Arca on April 8, 2026 with the lowest fee in the spot Bitcoin ETF category at 0.14%, backed by a $9.3 trillion wealth management network.
