This week, Ryan and David unpack Circle’s stunning IPO debut, soaring to a $25B market cap and triggering Wall Street’s stablecoin frenzy. They break down the landmark Genius Act vote, bringing unprecedented regulatory clarity to stablecoins, and dive into Stripe’s latest crypto bet, acquiring wallet innovator Privy. Polymarket goes mainstream in an official integration with Twitter, while SEC Chair Paul Atkins embraces DeFi as fundamentally American. Plus, Gemini quietly files for IPO, Plasma’s billion-dollar Tether chain ignites, and Trump unexpectedly endorses crypto at Coinbase.
