🏆 Stablecoins have become much more than a tool for crypto traders to protect their profits. Over the past five years, a quiet shift has been unfolding. One that we are witnessing in real-time in 2026. Group CEO and WeFi Co-Founder, @maksymsakharov addresses in his latest interview on @kucoincom that Stablecoins are evolving into global financial infrastructure. The infrastructure that 👇 → Increases the speed of global payments → Decreases the cost of sending and receiving payments → Removes the need for a middleman And this infrastructure lives onchain. 💡 Maksym envisions a world where Stablecoins become the norm. They are used by people around the world to send and receive their funds. People shouldn’t need to understand the underlying technology. They simply need reliable access, clear balances, fiat connectivity, and payment products that make stable digital value easy to use. And this is how WeFi Onchain Financial Infrastructure will operate. Fully in the background, helping to operate the next chapter of finance that will reside onchain. Payments that settle instantly anywhere in the world from a dual-balance Onchain Bank account. Breaking down barriers. Cutting out fees. Updating the outdated. That is WeFi. 👏
🇺🇸 UPDATE: December Fed rate hike odds have jumped to 77%, up from 24% just one month ago.

The US just voted to block a digital dollar, with Elizabeth Warren helping The Senate has passed a bill that bars the Federal Reserve from issuing a retail digital dollar through 2030. The CBDC ban rode inside the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which cleared in an 85 to 5 vote late Monday. The move turns standing policy into law. Trump's executive order had already frozen CBDC work, but an order can be undone by the next president. A statute is far harder to unwind, and after 2030 the Fed would need explicit approval from Congress to revive one. The irony is in who helped. Elizabeth Warren, who in 2021 called central bank digital currencies a matter of "great promise," co-advanced the package that now freezes one. The ban was a bipartisan price baked into the housing deal.
Software developers should not need an army of lawyers to know if their code is legal. The Clarity Act ends that absurdity.
NEW: China has signed 26 financial institutions, including Standard Chartered, onto its cross-border digital yuan payment network.
🚨 Reeve Collins, Co-Founder of Tether, joins Onchain Capital. We discussed how stablecoins evolved from a crypto experiment into global financial infrastructure and why he believes Stablecoin 2.0 is the next step. Watch now on Youtube 👇 youtu.be/tAzRSFYwU14
The arrogance is astounding. For months, the banking lobby refused to engage on stablecoin rewards. They didn’t make this a red line during the GENIUS Act. They didn’t stop the House from advancing CLARITY. Now, days before markup, after months of saying “we won’t negotiate,” they’re suddenly demanding “immediate engagement.” Bad faith policymaking. And an eleventh-hour attempt to protect incumbents from competition. Consumers deserve innovation, competition, and better financial products. Stablecoin rewards aren't radical. The banking lobby had every opportunity to engage constructively. Instead, they chose obstruction, delay, and now panic. Let's get going and move this forward. See ya Thursday.
