Visa's Onchain Analytics dashboard with @AlliumLabs was created to debunk a meme. “Stablecoins have surpassed Visa.” But after adjusting for double counting and high frequency trading, volume fell by 56%. @CuySheffield, Head of Crypto at Visa, explains on Bluechip Dialogues.

Until now, getting a clear rating of a stablecoin meant leaving the tools you already use and doing your own research. Now you can pull @bluechip_org via our API and inside our recently updated discover homepage! Read about it here: about.thegrid.id/resources/the-…

Bluechip ratings are live on @TheGridData, an ecosystem intelligence platform for web3. The Grid tracks projects, tokens, products – offering solutions that deliver actionable insights. Bluechip ratings now appear directly on issuer profiles. No separate tabs or extra research.

Arguably, @Visa was the first yield farm. Visa distributed ownership to member banks in proportion to the payment volume they drove. Visa even did an airdrop, sending charge cards to kickstart the network. @CuySheffield, Head of Crypto at Visa, explains on Bluechip Dialogues.

Stablecoins are not replacing @Visa cards. They are upgrading the company's backend. As the Head of Crypto at Visa, @CuySheffield has the front row seat to drive this evolution. Tune into Bluechip Dialogues as @GarettJones talks to Cuy about Visa's crypto strategy. Watch here.

Bluechip ratings are live on Pharos Watch, a stablecoin dashboard by @TokenBrice. Pharos Watch tracks >130 stablecoins across 17 currencies – with peg deviations, blacklist events, liquidity metrics, and more. Now get Bluechip ratings on supported stablecoins on Pharos Watch.

When @Tether ended EURT redemptions in Nov-25, the stablecoin quickly de-pegged. This highlights a key principle - reserves alone cannot defend the peg without direct, primary redemptions. Our SMIDGE rating framework considers broad access to redemptions as an important factor.

@AllUnityStable @KinstellarO It was a pleasure!

🚀Next Level Banking: Shaping Europe´s Monetary Future Is the future of European payments being decided in years, or months? According to the consensus at this week´s @KinstellarO panel in Vienna, the answer is: Right now! Luis Schaubhut, Chief of Staff at @AllUnityStable joined industry leaders to dive deep into the “Next Level Banking” landscape. The discussion made it clear that while Europe has the regulatory foundation, the window for action is narrowing. Key takeaways from the Panel: 🧩Europe leads with regulatory clarity, but banks cannot afford to wait. To empower corporations and users with stablecoins, we must build the infrastructure today. 🧩The synergy between central bank retails solutions and private sector tokenization is what will solidify Europe´s global standing. 🧩Stablecoins like AllUnity´s #EURAU and #CHFAU are more than just assets, they are bridges. A huge thank you to the experts panel: ✔️Petia Niederländer (@OeNB) ✔️Christian Wolf (@qivaliseu, Raiffeisenbank International AG) ✔️Benjamin Levit (@bluechip_org) #AllUnity #EURAU #FutureOfFinance #EuroStablecoin #ElectronicEuro #Stablecoin For marketing purposes only.

Bloody times, eh? Posted my $BOLD article recently (as a reminder, $BOLD by @LiquityProtocol is the only DeFi stablecoin to reach A- rating from @bluechip_org). Liquity's showing great results under liquidations stress. $BOLD held its peg perfectly. Stability Pool yield jumped. @Dune shows 37% average APY over the last 3 days. How it works: • ETH drops → some borrowers get liquidated • The funds in the Stability Pool are used to repay that debt • In return, depositors receive 5% more collateral back • Depositors also receive 75% of borrower fees (paid in $BOLD). That is on top of the borrow fees they get continuously. In other words: Volatility → Liquidations → Depositors earn more. On top, they earn points for upcoming friendly fork airdrops, iykyk ;) TL;DR: $BOLD allows you to be on the paid side when liquidations happen. Here's a quick strat: Hold sBOLD or yBOLD → ~8% average passive yield + Buy YT when APR decreases, sell into volatility spikes
