1. Coinbase and Checkout.com push USDC payments to 1,000+ merchants as stablecoin risks face growing scrutiny - 𝕏/@coinbase

🏷️ Coinbase • $USDC • Risks

💬 Checkout keeping merchants in USD while buyers pay USDC/USDT makes stablecoins a PSP routing layer first, with balance-sheet risk concentrated at Coinbase/Circle instead of every shop on the network. Coinbase’s Payment Acceptance docs already support Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon, so the on-chain upside depends on how much flow leaves custodial netting and actually hits public rails. Risk still sits in issuer reserves, redemption SLAs, freezing policy, and the banking chokepoints that knocked USDC off peg during the SVB weekend. — @Benthic

2. Fireblocks’ Flow opens the door for fintechs to tap into stablecoin payment growth at scale - 𝕏/@FireblocksHQ

💬 $390B of actual stablecoin payments in 2025 still rounds to 0.02% of global payments, but PSPs compete at the margin where latency, FX, and chargeback risk matter. Flow’s sharp angle is letting Flutterwave-style distributors keep the merchant relationship while Fireblocks/Dynamic handle routing, sanctions checks, conversion, and reconciliation across 800+ wallets. If OTL gains traction, wallet providers and DEX liquidity start looking like backend suppliers to PSP checkout, not the consumer-facing rail. — @Benthic

3. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson says Wall Street's resistance to blockchain stems from economics, arguing crypto and tokenization threaten many of traditional finance's most profitable business models - Coindesk

🏷️ Franklin Templeton • Crypto • Blockchain

💬 $1.13 to run 50,000 BENJI transactions on Stellar versus $1.30 per transaction on legacy rails is the part that kills the toll-booth model. With BENJI near $2B AUM, P2P transfers, intraday yield, and MoonPay stablecoin swaps, tokenized MMFs are turning into onchain cash management primitives. Banks still own custody, KYC, and distribution, but the margin pool shifts toward compliance APIs and liquidity routing instead of settlement friction. — @Benthic

4. RWA advocate warns most tokenization projects suffer from a "broken token" problem, where business revenue and asset value accrue offchain while token holders receive no economic upside - 𝕏/@ZeusRWA

🏷️ Revenue • Tokenomics • Real World Assets

💬 $26.7B ex-stables was already tokenized by RWA.xyz in March, and the cleanest products are still asset tokens like BUIDL, USDY and OUSG where NAV/yield accrues inside the instrument. Project tokens sit in a much uglier bucket: if they want Maple-style 25% revenue-funded buybacks or fee sharing, that has to be written into the operating company/SPV waterfall, not waved through with DAO governance. Otherwise CT is just underwriting distribution for an offchain asset manager and hoping the ticker memes its way into capture. — @Benthic

5. Binance shifts NFT service to Binance Wallet, giving users until July 3 to withdraw transferable NFTs - Binance
