PayPal USD price

综编：Felix, PANews 上周，一份概述 MetaMask 稳定币 mUSD 的治理提案在短暂 发布 后被删除，引发了市场对 mUSD 开发的猜测。目前，该稳定币的发布已得到确认。 由 Consensys 开发的加密钱包 MetaMask 于 8 月 21 日宣布，将推出原生美元稳定币 MetaMask USD ($mUSD)，标志着自主托管钱包首次推出自主稳定币。mUSD 预计将于今年晚些时候发布，届时它将首先在以太坊和 Linea 上推出。 基于 Bridge 和 M 0 构建，年底将接入万事达卡 mUSD 由 Stripe 旗下的稳定币发行公司 Bridge 构建，并由 M 0 的去中心化基础设施提供支持。 Bridge 是 Stripe 旗下的一家稳定币编排和发行平台，为定制发行的稳定币提供合规的许可、监控和严格的储备管理。Bridge 底层利用 M 0 协议铸造 $mUSD，该平台提供了一个去中心化且可扩展的稳定币基础设施平台，专为互操作性、可组合性和透明度而构建。 据 MetaMask 称，mUSD 将由“高质量、高流动性的美元等价资产”以 1:1 的比例全额支持，包括美国现金和短期美国国债，并具备实时透明度和跨链可组合性。mUSD 计划于今年晚些时候在以太坊和 Consensys 的 Linea 网络上推出，并与 Linea 的 DeFi 堆栈进行深度集成，逐步覆盖借贷市场、DEX 和托管平台，从而促进流动性并减少用户上手阻力。 mUSD 将主要以两种方式使用： 发布时在钱包中：用于无缝入账、兑换、转账和跨链桥接。 预计在年底前在现实生活中：允许用户通过 MetaMask 卡在接受万事达卡的数百万商家处使用 mUSD。 关于是否向客户提供 mUSD 存款奖励，MetaMask 产品战略副总裁 Ajay Mittal 强调：“目前，mUSD 不会直接向用户提供收益。不过，mUSD 可能会在 MetaMask 未来的激励计划中发挥作用。” 具体的发行日期或计划发行规模官方并未透露，但更多的技术细节和用户指南将在未来几周内发布。 开发周期缩短至数周，稳定币迎来高速扩张期 mUSD 的发布正值稳定币月链上交易量突破近 1 万亿美元之际，同时也是在美国《GENIUS 法案》通过之际。 此前，美联储理事 Christopher Waller 发表了支持加密货币的演讲，强调了稳定币的作用，指出其有潜力维护和扩展美元在国际上的地位。与此同时，怀俄明州正式推出 Frontier Stable Token（FRNT），成为美国首个发行自身稳定币的州。 随着数字美元市场蓬勃发展和监管透明度的提高，应用型稳定币的理念也越来越受到关注。支付应用程序、加密钱包或 DeFi 协议也可以推出自己的稳定币，同时将合规、储备和基础设施外包给提供商。 例如，Paxos 发行了 PayPal 的 PYUSD 代币，而 BitGo 则支持与特朗普相关的 DeFi 协议 World Liberty Financial 的 USD 1。本月早些时候，美国金融科技公司 Slash 与 Bridge 合作推出了自己的稳定币。 MetaMask 的稳定币是 M 0 和 Bridge 合作的首个案例，通过与 M 0 和 Bridge 合作，MetaMask 可以为其用户提供内置的数字美元，而无需管理复杂的发行、合规和技术流程。 Bridge 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Zach Abrams 表示，他们将稳定币定制发行的开发时间从“一年多的复杂集成”缩短到“几周”。这意味着像 Metamask 这样的应用程序“可以比以往更快、更高效地实现收益”。 通过此次合作，M 0 和 Bridge 正在寻求将 MetaMask 代币的开发成果复制到更多发行方。

Key Insights: Ark Invest bets on Bullish stock, as it closed at around $63 with robust gains on August 21. Ark Invest expanded its position, now holding over 1.16 million Bullish shares. Bullish settled $1.15 billion IPO proceeds in stablecoins, a first for a U.S. IPO. The Bullish crypto stock has slipped after its New York Stock Exchange debut, giving Ark Invest to buy more at a sizable discount. The firm led by Cathie Wood added over one million shares as the crypto exchange settled its $1.15 billion IPO proceeds in stablecoins, a first for the U.S. market. Ark Invest Buys More Bullish Crypto Stock It is worth noting that Bullish crypto stock fell to $58.19 on August 20 in intraday trading hours, down 2% from the previous close of $59.51. However, the share price reversed track and closed at $62.89, adding more than 5% in its previous session. The surge came in days after its first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. However, amid the intraday dip, Ark Invest increased its stake in the company. The ARK Innovation ETF, run by Cathie Wood, disclosed ownership of 1,165,397 shares, valued at about $73.85 million. On August 19, Ark Invest bought 356,346 shares, worth about $21.2 million at the close of trading. Ark Invest had already taken a large position in Bullish. On its first trading day, the firm spread more than 2.5 million shares across three of its exchange-traded funds. The latest purchase showed Ark’s continued interest in the stock, even as prices moved lower. Bullish is the parent company of CoinDesk, a crypto news outlet. The company raised $1.15 billion in its initial public offering. It sold about 20.3 million shares at $37 each. The listing marked one of the largest recent debuts in the crypto sector. IPO Proceeds Paid in Stablecoins Bullish announced that it received all IPO proceeds in stablecoins instead of cash. The exchange said the $1.15 billion settlement marked the first time a U.S. IPO was paid in this way. Most of the proceeds were in USDC, a dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Circle. Part of the total came in EURC, Circle’s euro-backed version. Coinbase was named as the custodian for the digital assets. Jefferies acted as the billing and delivery agent for the offering. The firm handled the minting, conversion, and delivery of the stablecoins. Most of the transactions took place on the Solana blockchain, which is known for faster processing speeds and lower costs compared with other networks. Bullish also accepted smaller amounts of other stablecoins. These included Ripple’s RLUSD, PayPal’s PYUSD, and Agora’s AUSD. Tokens from Societe Generale-FORGE, Global Dollar, World Liberty Financial, and AllUnity were also part of the settlement. Chief Financial Officer David Bonanno said the exchange viewed stablecoins as a practical tool for global transfers. He noted that using digital tokens allowed the company to move funds quickly and securely. Along with Bullish, Ark Invest increased its stake in Robinhood, another company tied to digital assets. On August 20, Ark bought 150,908 shares of Robinhood, valued at about $16.2 million. The stock closed the day at $107.50. This was the third straight trading day Ark purchased Robinhood shares. On August 19, the firm added $14 million, followed by $9 million on August 16. The consistent buying showed Ark Invest’s interest in expanding positions in firms linked to the crypto sector. Robinhood has become one of the firm’s most frequent crypto-related holdings. Its trading app has been widely used by retail investors to buy cryptocurrencies, in addition to stocks and exchange-traded funds. Bullish’s share price has moved sharply since its debut, revealing mixed investor sentiment. Ark Invest’s latest purchases showed continued institutional interest in both Bullish and Robinhood as the crypto market worked through a period of recovery.
