Financial companies join forces for US dollar stablecoin, keeping reserve earnings
More than 140 companies have signed onto Open USD, a US dollar-pegged stablecoin project designed to let businesses mint OUSD at no cost, with no artificial volume limits, while keeping the earnings generated from the coin’s reserves. The project is supported by major financial and crypto firms including Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, Ripple, OKX and Bybit, positioning it as a potential challenger to Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC. Open USD is expected to launch later this year, and the model could intensify competition in the stablecoin sector by shifting reserve revenue back to participating businesses rather than concentrating it with issuers.

Taiwan’s legislature passes crypto, stablecoin regulations
Taiwanese lawmakers passed the country’s first law establishing a formal regulatory framework for crypto and stablecoins, requiring virtual asset service providers to obtain approval from the Financial Supervisory Commission before operating. The rules cover exchanges, trading platforms, custodians and lenders, while stablecoin issuers must receive approval from both the central bank and the FSC, maintain sufficient reserves with a trustee and undergo regular audits. The law also targets fraud and market manipulation, with penalties including prison terms and multimillion-dollar fines, bringing Taiwan closer to other Asian markets such as Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong that have already introduced crypto-sector rules.

Trump earned more from crypto than real estate in 2025, filings show
Donald Trump’s crypto ventures generated more than $1.4 billion in income in 2025, surpassing his real estate and resort businesses, according to annual financial disclosures released by the US Office of Government Ethics. The largest reported crypto income source was licensing and sales tied to memecoins such as Trump Coin, followed by World Liberty Financial token-sale proceeds and income from selling equity in a stablecoin venture. The filings drew renewed conflict-of-interest criticism because Trump’s administration has also pushed pro-crypto policy, while the White House rejected claims of improper conduct and said neither Trump nor his family engaged in conflicts of interest.

Has Strategy’s capital overhaul put an end to ‘death spiral’ fears?
The feature examines whether Strategy’s new capital framework can ease investor fears that its Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet and STRC structure could trigger a reflexive “death spiral” during market stress. The plan includes up to $1 billion in MSTR buybacks, up to $1 billion in STRC and related-security buybacks, a larger cash reserve, a roughly 12% STRC dividend and the option to sell up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin if needed to meet dividend or debt obligations. Supporters argue the framework improves transparency and reduces near-term liquidity risk, while critics say Strategy remains heavily dependent on capital-market access and could still amplify Bitcoin’s downside cycles if funding conditions tighten.
