USDC's Unstoppable Quarter: Circle Shares Surge as Q4 Results Shatter Wall Street Estimates
Circle Internet Group demolished analyst estimates in Q4 2025 — $770 million in revenue up 77% year-over-year, adjusted EPS of $0.43 against a consensus of $0.35, and USDC in circulation growing 72% to $75.3 billion. Shares surged sharply in pre-market trading on February 25, 2026, in the company's most powerful earnings performance since its blockbuster NYSE debut in June 2025. For the stablecoin sector, the message from these numbers is unambiguous: regulated digital dollar infrastructure is not a coming opportunity — it is an already-exploding revenue reality.
Mortgage on the Blockchain: Better-com's Tokenized Home Loan Play Could Rewrite How America Borrows
Better.com is exploring whether home mortgages — America's largest and most illiquid asset class at over USD 13 trillion in outstanding balances — can be tokenized on-chain, opening them to DeFi liquidity pools, fractional institutional investment and automated smart contract servicing. If it works, the implications stretch far beyond one digital lender and into the structural foundations of how housing finance is originated, held, traded and settled globally.
The Ghost of Libra Is Gone: How Meta Is Quietly Building a Payments Empire It Will Never Call Crypto
Meta killed Libra and buried Diem — but it never abandoned the ambition. In 2026, it is rebuilding a global payments infrastructure across its 3.3 billion daily active users through WhatsApp Pay, Instagram checkout and Messenger peer-to-peer transfers, this time without uttering the word crypto once. The strategy is deliberate, the infrastructure is real, and the regulatory lesson from 2019 has been fully absorbed. What emerges looks less like a tech company doing payments and more like a bank that refuses to call itself one.
Dollar on the Blockchain: Trump's Board of Peace Eyes Stablecoins as the Financial Rail for Gaza's Rebuilding
Trump's Board of Peace is reportedly exploring USD-backed stablecoins to power Gaza's reconstruction economy — a move that would simultaneously solve the territory's banking exclusion problem and deepen American financial influence through blockchain infrastructure.
Brazil's Wind Giants Are Coming For Bitcoin: Three Operators Poised to Launch Mining Pilots Before Q3 2026 Ends
Brazil lost BRL 6.5 billion to curtailed renewable energy in 2025. Now three of its biggest wind and solar operators are eyeing Bitcoin mining as the most deployable solution available — and Q3 2026 may be the quarter it becomes official.
Brazil's Stranded Power Problem: How Grid Bottlenecks Are Turning Utilities Into Bitcoin Miners
Brazil sits on one of the most abundant renewable energy grids on the planet — nearly 90% clean generation, vast hydroelectric basins and a wind corridor in the Northeast that ranks among the world's cheapest sources of electricity. Yet transmission infrastructure has not kept pace with generation capacity, leaving hundreds of gigawatt-hours of clean electricity stranded every year, curtailed and wasted because the wires simply do not exist to carry it to demand centers. Now, a growing number of Brazilian utilities, energy traders and mining startups are reaching for an unconventional answer: deploy Bitcoin mining rigs directly behind the meter, converting electricity that would otherwise evaporate into digital assets — turning a grid liability into a revenue stream.
Gemini's Brutal Retreat: 200 Jobs Cut, Three Markets Abandoned as the Winklevoss Twins Fight for Survival
On February 5, 2026, Gemini Space Station Inc. — the crypto exchange founded by billionaires Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss — announced it would slash up to 200 jobs (roughly 25% of its remaining global headcount), exit the United Kingdom, the European Union and Australia entirely, and concentrate its dwindling resources on the United States and Singapore. The restructuring, carrying an estimated $11 million in pre‑tax charges, comes as Gemini's stock has cratered 85% from its September 2025 IPO highs, its global spot market share has shrunk to just 0.1%, and Bitcoin has fallen roughly 40% from its October 2025 peak — a confluence of pressures that has turned one of crypto's most recognizable brands into a cautionary tale of overexpansion.
Cardano Token: Navigating the Current Landscape and Future Horizons
Cardano, with its ADA token, has been a significant player in the cryptocurrency market, focusing on scalability, security, and sustainability. This article delves into its current state, exploring its technology, ecosystem, and future prospects amidst the evolving crypto landscape.
Cardano’s Fast‑Track to a Spot ADA ETF: SEC’s 75‑Day Shortcut Starts the Clock
On February 9, 2026, CME Group officially launched Cardano futures, quietly starting a six‑month regulatory clock that could enable the first US spot Cardano ETF as early as August 9, 2026 — a 75‑day faster path than Bitcoin had under the prior SEC framework. Under the SEC’s new “generic futures‑based” listing standards, if ADA futures remain listed and active on a CFTC‑regulated designated contract market for at least six months, a spot ADA ETF filing can follow on a 75‑day review track rather than the 240‑day maximum window that once defined the race to bring BTC and ETH to Wall Street.
UAE’s Hidden Bitcoin Reserve and Crypto Rulebook: The Macro Context Behind Abu Dhabi’s $1B ETF Bet
Abu Dhabi’s $1B BlackRock Bitcoin ETF position is only half the story: new Arkham Intelligence data shows UAE‑linked miners quietly holding 6,782 BTC worth about $453–454 million, with an estimated $344 million in unrealized profit, while the country’s regulators knit together one of the most comprehensive digital‑asset frameworks in the world. Taken together, the on‑chain reserve, ETF exposure and licensing sprint turn the Emirates into a front‑line macro signal for sovereign‑level conviction in Bitcoin and the broader crypto stack.
Nations Are Buying the Dip: Abu Dhabi's $1 Billion BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Bet Rewrites the Institutional Playbook
Fresh SEC filings reveal that Abu Dhabi's two largest sovereign‑linked investors — Mubadala Investment Company and Al Warda Investments — ended 2025 with a combined $1.04 billion stake in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), having added aggressively through a quarter in which Bitcoin lost 23% of its value. The disclosure, landing during a week when BTC briefly crashed below $65,000 and broader ETF outflows hit $5.8 billion, has crystallized a powerful new macro narrative: while Western institutions trim exposure, Gulf sovereign capital is treating the crash as a generational entry point.
X Trading & X Money Countdown: Elon Musk’s ‘Everything App’ Is About to Go Live
Years after Elon Musk promised to turn Twitter into an “everything app,” crypto and stock trading on X is finally moving from rumor to countdown: product lead Nikita Bier says Smart Cashtags with in‑feed trading will roll out “in a couple of weeks,” while X Money — the platform’s Visa‑backed wallet and payments rail — is shifting from internal to external beta with a limited public launch targeted within the next two months. For a platform boasting more than a billion users, that combination could turn timelines into trading terminals and make X one of the most powerful on‑ramps into Bitcoin, DOGE and other digital assets in 2026.
