Stablecoins news

Stablecoins covers the instruments themselves and the rules being written around them. Fintechbits follows issuance and reserve disclosure, the GENIUS Act and MiCA regimes, bank and card-network experiments using stablecoins for settlement, and the payment companies putting them behind existing products. Coverage includes Circle, Tether, Paxos and BVNK, plus the banks and processors deciding whether to hold, issue or route them. It is a separate hub from crypto because the question is different: stablecoins are judged on whether they settle reliably and hold their peg, not on price. Tokenised deposits are covered here; tokenised funds and bonds sit under tokenisation.
