Circle CEO Frames Stablecoins as Neutral Infrastructure

admin

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said the company views its dollar-pegged stablecoin as neutral financial infrastructure with network effects, rather than a product meant to compete with existing payment companies. Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box during the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, Allaire said Circle does not view card networks such as Visa or Mastercard as competitors, describing them instead as “significant partners.” According to Allaire, stablecoins are “network effect businesses,” with usage and circulation increasing as more developers and institutions integrate, adding that Circle operates as a “neutral company” that does not compete with banks, payment companies or exchanges.

admin

Gold surged nearly 2% on Thursday afternoon, climbing to a fresh all-time high above $4,900 as investors returned to traditional safe havens. Silver also pushed to new record levels above $96, extending a multi-month rally that has seen precious metals print successive highs almost daily.

History Says That Might Be Bullish

admin

XRP dropped 19% since January 5, thereby pushing retail into extreme fear territory. Ripple (XRP) has been under pressure after setting an all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025 before entering a steady decline in the months that followed. The crypto asset later attempted a fresh upswing in early January and neared $2.40, but failed to gain traction. The pullback has been amplified by market uncertainty, as rising geopolitical tensions pushed investors into a more defensive mode. As a result, XRP sentiment appears to be collapsing fast. But it…

17K BTC Inflows Anomaly Puts Bitcoin Recovery at Risk

admin

The Bitcoin price rally to $90,000 failed to hold after 17,000 BTC were sent to exchanges, but an improving spot market suggests that traders view BTC’s current pricing as discounted.
