Open Standard disrupts the stablecoin landscape: alliance governance + profit sharing, challenging USDT and USDC dominance
An Open Standard jointly promoted by more than 140 global financial and technology giants, it recently launched the USD stablecoin Open USD (#OUSD ). Its alliance lineup includes Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, Coinbase, Google, and Ripple, among others, aiming to reshape the stablecoin market with a disruptive business model. Key differences: Not just another stablecoin The biggest difference between OUSD and #USDT and #USDC lies in the profit-sharing and governance mechanisms: · Zero fees: Businesses can mint and redeem for free, significantly reducing the costs of cross-border payments and large-value settlements. · Shared interest: Unlike traditional stablecoin issuers that monopolize U.S. Treasury yield, OUSD allocates most of its reserve interest to ecosystem participating enterprises.
In March, I wrote a prediction about the crypto market's June snow, and it looks like we're getting close to that time. Bitcoin's fourth wave bounce seems to have wrapped up, and we're gearing up for a fifth wave downtrend. Whether you believe it or not, being conservative never hurts, especially if you're thinking about going short. $BTC $ETH

The June snow in the crypto world, this is my mid-year view on the crypto market. If you ask me why it's June, I can't give a precise answer. Everything has a cycle; a year has spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and each month has its own tidal cycle. The crypto market also has its cycles. Two weeks ago, I wrote an article about whether the four-year cycle in the crypto market 文章 exists. I believe the four-year cycle in the crypto market still exists, but the way it fluctuates or the amplitude may change. This actually hides some underlying logic. I will find time to write a long article to explain it. I estimate that this wave of June snow will wash away many traders and also reduce the traffic of many plaza bloggers or streamers, leading them to give up on creation. I want to say a word to everyone who sees this short article: persevere through this cold winter, keep your chips safe, and wait for the market to be extremely cold (around the third quarter) when there are plenty of cheap coins to enter the market and layout, to welcome the next wave of bull market bonuses. Persevere, persevere, persevere; it's important to say it three times. #熊市预警 #周期生存 四年週期
8 Days Before the MiCA Deadline, Ripple Secures Key License, But Why is XRP Not Pumping and Instead Dipping?
On June 23, 2026, just 8 days away from the EU's (Crypto Assets Market Law) transition deadline on July 1, #MiCA announced that it received preliminary approval for a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from the Luxembourg Financial Supervisory Authority (CSSF). This 'green light letter' allows Ripple to offer regulated crypto asset payment services across all 30 countries in the European Economic Area. MiCA is the unified regulatory framework established by the EU for its 27 member states. After July 1, 2026, any unlicensed crypto firms must stop serving EU clients. As of May 2026, only about 210 companies across the EU have received CASP authorization, with over 80% of the 1,200+ pre-MiCA entities failing to make the transition. Ripple snagged its ticket before the deadline, making it a winner in this regulatory elimination race.
