Stablecoins are evolving from a niche crypto trading tool into a potential layer of global financial infrastructure, according to Australian investment bank Macquarie. While most U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin activity, mainly in Tether’s $USDT and Circle’s $USDC, still comes from crypto trading, accounting for about 90% of volume, the bank said adoption is expanding across payments, remittances, treasury operations and tokenized assets, increasingly linking traditional finance with decentralized finance. “Stablecoin adoption is making strides in cross-border remittances, but adoption as form of payment still has room to grow, presenting an attractive total addressable market (TAM) opportunity,” analysts led by Paul Golding…

DeFi platforms have opposed the plans to ban stablecoin yield via third-party apps. In a comment to the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency), Phantom Wallet and Consensys slammed the agency for going against the stablecoin law, the $GENIUS Act. Marisa Tashman Coppel, assistant general counsel at Phantom, argued that the $GENIUS Act only bans stablecoin issuers from offering interest. This is meant to prevent them from functioning as uninsured deposits. However, she added that the OCC’s proposal to extend the ban to third parties goes ‘beyond what the statute says.’ The OCC’s anti-evasion authority doesn’t give it…
