European issuers’ push into dollar stablecoins comes as the EU reviews its MiCA framework and the ECB continues to raise concerns about stablecoins reinforcing the dollar’s global dominance. Europe cannot “wish away” dollar demand Stable Mint CEO James Bennett said demand for dollar stablecoins in Europe reflects practical business needs rather than something policymakers can simply steer toward the euro. “Dollar stablecoins are where the demand is, and Europe can’t wish that away,” Bennett told Cointelegraph. “What Europe can control is who issues them to European users, and under which rules.” Stable Mint’s USDSM stablecoin has moved more than $380…

The streak did stumble last year when October 2025 finished down 3.7%, marking the first losing October since 2018. Prediction markets are less adventurous.

Borrowing Costs and Liquidation Risk For variable-rate loans, interest changes with supply and demand in the lending market. Those loans have no repayment deadline or minimum payments, but interest continues to accrue. Coinbase also offers fixed-rate loans with a maturity date; Morpho’s Sept. 22 announcement described that product as starting with bitcoin collateral. Coinbase’s fee schedule lists a processing charge of 2% on the first $250,000 borrowed and 1% on amounts above that. The charge is added to principal and accrues interest. A separate platform fee may apply, and Coinbase says fixed-rate processing fees may differ. The key risk measure…

Lately, the ascent has stalled at around $85,000 amid a sustained uptrend in the U.S. Dollar Index. “To state a fact, the latest signal confirms the recovery has endured,” Subburaj said. Some of the past alignments have marked the start of major rallies. One formed on Oct. 27, 2020, when $BTC traded around $13,600, and held until May 2021.

How the calculator reaches $210.90 At approximately 08:18 UTC on Oct. 2, the dashboard used a Bitcoin price input of $86,593, an assumed annual return of 10% and volatility of 40%. Its STRC row showed a 12.06% effective yield, a 5.23% risk-free yield and 46 basis points of $BTC Credit, Strategy’s modeled credit spread.
