Tech, Finance Titans Redraw Stablecoin Map in Threat to Circle

For years, the stablecoin race has been defined by a simple objective: build the dominant digital dollar. This week’s turbulence in Circle Internet Group Inc.’s shares suggests investors are beginning to price a different future — one in which the biggest rewards may accrue not to the companies issuing stablecoins, but to those controlling how they move.

Why is the cryptocurrency market slumping? | Counting the Cost

The cryptocurrency market is now worth more than $2.23 trillion. Yet, Bitcoin has lost more than half its value since prices hit their peak in October 2025. Despite repeated boom and bust cycles, institutional investors are pouring billions into the digital assets. Traditional banks are embracing them. Politicians are becoming some of their biggest champions and beneficiaries, and governments are racing to write the rules. But cryptocurrency is also becoming a tool for political interference and for sanctioned states seeking to move money beyond the traditional financial system.
