Stablecoins

Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a stable reserve, such as the US Dollar or Gold, to minimize price volatility. Serving as the primary medium of exchange in Web3, tokens like USDT, USDC, and PYUSD facilitate global payments and DeFi liquidity. In 2026, the focus has shifted toward yield-bearing stablecoins and compliant stablecoin frameworks under global regulations like MiCA. This tag covers the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto through stable on-chain liquidity solutions.

Australia’s Central Bank Progresses Project Acacia Testing for CBDC Asset Settlement

Australia’s Central Bank Progresses Project Acacia Testing for CBDC Asset Settlement

Australia’s Reserve Bank announced on Thursday the selection of 24 industry participants for the next phase of its wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) testing initiative. The six-month pilot will conduct 19 real-money transactions and five proof-of-concept simulations across multiple asset classes, including fixed income, private markets, trade receivables, and carbon credits. Settlement will occur through various digital assets, including stablecoins, bank deposit tokens, and pilot wholesale CBDCs deployed on platforms such as Hedera, Redbelly Network, R3 Corda, and Canvas Connect. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has granted regulatory relief to facilitate the testing, and project findings are expected in the first quarter of 2026. Source: Bloomberg ASIC Enables Real-Money CBDC Testing Through Regulatory Relief The regulatory relief allows participants to conduct tokenized asset transactions using CBDCs between financial institutions without standard licensing requirements during the pilot period. ASIC Commissioner Kate O’Rourke noted that the relief instrument will enable wholesale market testing of technologies that could potentially boost efficiency and foster economic growth. Selected participants include major Australian banks such as Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, and Westpac, alongside specialized firms like Australian Bond Exchange, Fireblocks, and Zerocap. Brad Jones, Assistant Governor for Financial System at the RBA, emphasized the strategic importance of ensuring Australia’s monetary arrangements remain fit for purpose in the digital age. Jones described Project Acacia as “ an opportunity for further collaborative exploration on tokenized asset markets and the future of money by the public and private sectors in Australia, ” with use cases designed to help the RBA better understand innovations in both central bank and private digital money. Professor Talis Putnins from the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre also highlighted the potential economic impact. He referenced recent research suggesting potential economic gains in markets and cross-border payments could reach AU$19 billion annually. Australia Pursues Wholesale CBDC Strategy Amid Global Digital Currency Race Project Acacia builds on Australia’s September 2024 decision to prioritize wholesale CBDC development over retail applications due to greater economic benefits. The initiative aligns with global trends, as 134 countries representing 98% of the global economy are exploring CBDCs , according to research by the Atlantic Council. 🌍 The CBDC race is heating up. 134 countries are now exploring digital currencies, covering nearly the entire global economy, according to @AtlanticCouncil . https://t.co/dDzG7B7Zqb — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) September 17, 2024 The competitive pressure is particularly evident in the Asia-Pacific region, where China’s digital yuan transactions reached $986 billion by June 2024 across 17 regions and 44 countries currently running CBDC pilot programs of varying scales and ambitions. Cross-border wholesale CBDC projects have more than doubled globally, with initiatives like Project mBridge connecting financial institutions across multiple jurisdictions. Australia’s comprehensive digital asset framework encompasses tokenization, real-world assets, and CBDC integration within broader efforts to modernize the financial system. However, challenges remain complex, as David Lavecky, head of Canvas, previously told Cryptonews that the Reserve Bank of Australia’s approach to issuing eAUD is “multifaceted,” with several legal, regulatory, and operational hurdles still to overcome. 🇦🇺 Exclusive: Reserve Bank of Australia’s Approach Towards Issuing eAUD is “Multifaceted,” Says Canvas Head David Lavecky.

Ripple CEO: Stablecoin Market Could Hit $2 Trillion in Coming Years

Ripple CEO: Stablecoin Market Could Hit $2 Trillion in Coming Years

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes the stablecoin sector is poised for explosive growth, projecting the market could balloon from its current $250 billion capitalization to as much as $2 trillion in the near future. Key Takeaways: Ripple sees a $2 trillion stablecoin market as a realistic near-term outcome. RLUSD has surpassed $500 million in market cap, with BNY Mellon as its custodian. Ripple is pursuing a US banking license to deepen integration with traditional finance. Speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Wednesday , Garlinghouse described the expansion as “profound,” citing institutional momentum and evolving regulation as key drivers. Ripple entered the stablecoin space late, Garlinghouse noted, largely because the company had been leveraging third-party stablecoins in its enterprise payment flows. Ripple Bets on RLUSD to Compete in Stablecoin Race RLUSD, Ripple’s own USD-pegged stablecoin, has given the firm an opportunity to compete, thanks to its existing institutional base and focus on regulatory compliance. “Many people think it will reach $1 to $2 trillion in a handful of years,” Garlinghouse said, adding that Ripple is positioned to benefit from that trajectory. He also announced that BNY Mellon will act as custodian for RLUSD, which crossed the $500 million market cap milestone this week. Industry voices appear to echo Ripple’s optimism. Henrik Andersson, CIO at Apollo Capital, told Cointelegraph the projection aligns with their internal forecasts. “We are seeing fintechs, banks, social networks, and large retailers all launch their own stablecoins,” he said, pointing to growing competition and adoption across sectors. Andersson also highlighted the success of market leaders like Tether, which has turned its dominance into strong profitability. Looking ahead, he said the GENIUS Act , a bill that would give stablecoins legal tender status in the US, could be a major accelerant. The legislation passed the Senate in June and is expected to be enacted later this month. Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, added that a friendlier regulatory stance from the SEC could create favorable conditions for the stablecoin market to grow severalfold, possibly hitting the $2 trillion mark within a few years. ANNOUNCEMENT: BNY selected to serve as the primary reserve custodian of @Ripple ’s enterprise-grade stablecoin, Ripple USD ( #RLUSD ). #BNY and Ripple are jointly committed to paving the way for digital asset adoption at institutional scale and together are helping to bridge the… pic.twitter.com/RjyDyBj0Qk — BNY (@BNYglobal) July 9, 2025 Ripple is also tightening its ties to traditional finance. Earlier this month, the firm applied for a banking license with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and a Federal Reserve Master Account. Garlinghouse said the move is aimed at building “bridges between traditional finance and DeFi.” Ripple’s RLUSD Gains Traction Meanwhile, RLUSD continues to gain traction , recently integrating with crypto payments provider Transak. RLUSD’s growing adoption comes against a background of the stablecoin reaching a $500 million market cap for the first time since it debuted trading less than seven months ago. XRP, Ripple’s cross-border payments token, has rallied 7% this week, trading at $2.42, its highest level in nearly two months. Stablecoins have emerged as one of crypto’s rare success stories, capturing the attention of corporations and regulators alike. Recent reports that Amazon, Walmart, and other major companies are exploring stablecoin payments sent ripples through traditional finance, briefly pushing stablecoin transaction volumes ahead of Visa’s in 2024. Frank Combay of Next Generation said regulatory clarity , especially Europe’s MiCA framework, has unlocked stablecoins’ growth potential by removing the biggest barrier: uncertainty. He believes stablecoin ecosystems can reduce transaction costs by over 90% and are becoming increasingly attractive to both consumers and corporations.
