Ethereum bears keep selling but ETH price stays near $2,700 as US spot ETFs record $206M in outflows

Ethereums institutional demand is weakening around the same time derivatives positioning shows traders are selling aggressively without yet breaking the broader price structure.

Arbitrum joins Paxos-led stablecoin group Global Dollar to capture digital dollar growth

Arbitrum is joining the Global Dollar Network, the Paxos-led stablecoin consortium behind $USDG, as the Ethereum layer-2 network looks to capture a slice of the economics from the stablecoins already circulating on its rails.  $USDG has launched on Arbitrum on Tuesday with integrations spanning trading, lending and payments, including Fluid, Morpho, GMX, Maple, Li.Fi, Gauntlet, Steakhouse, LayerZero and Kraken. Uniswap and Fhenix are set to follow.  The stablecoin is issued by Paxos, backed one-for-one by dollar reserves and has more than $3 billion in circulation across networks. Global Dollar Network has more than 150 partners, including Robinhood, Kraken, Mastercard, and OKX. Its model distributes rewards generated by $USDG reserves among partners that help drive adoption, rather than leaving those economics solely with the issuer.  That model gives Arbitrum a new way to make money from the stablecoin activity happening on its network. There is currently about $3.8 billion of stablecoins on the network, with Circles USDC accounting for roughly 60%, DefiLlama data shows. Arbitrum doesnt get a share directly in the reserve income generated by those tokens.  “With $USDG, Arbitrum and builders across the platform now have a stake in the growth upside,” said Brendan Ma, head of investment strategy at the Arbitrum Foundation.

OKX Money lets users save, earn 10% yield and spend dollar stablecoins in one app

OKX introduced a consumer app that lets eligible customers convert over 50 local currencies into dollar-backed stablecoins, earn rewards on those balances, and spend from a virtual or physical card.  OKX Money allows users in participating markets to fund accounts with local currencies and hold $USDG, $USDC or USDT. Customers can send stablecoins, switch among supported tokens without conversion fees and use a card for purchases in other currencies, where OKX says it will charge no foreign-exchange fee or markup, according to a statement released Tuesday.  “Hundreds of millions of people have been excluded from dollar-denominated savings and frictionless global spending because the infrastructure was never built for them,” OKX said, adding that OKX Money is the first step in a longer program.  Qualifying customers can earn up to 10% annual percentage yield (APY) on eligible $USDG holdings without a lockup or staking requirement, OKX said. The app also offers up to 10% cashback on eligible purchases and referral rewards. Product availability, rates, and eligibility vary by location.  While others offer similar services, OKX‘s app aims to target non-crypto users. Binance Pay also allows users to hold stablecoins, spend globally, earn passive yield and send cross-border payments with zero gas fees. Coinbase’s Coinbase One

Chinas crypto ban Is failing to stop a $176 billion P2P economy

China‘s underground crypto economy is increasingly shifting toward peer-to-peer stablecoin payments despite Beijing’s longstanding restrictions on digital assets.  Related Company Chainalysis Blockchain detective  Chainalysis estimates China generated at least $176 billion of crypto activity during the 12 months through June 2026, with 59.1% occurring through domestic peer-to-peer transfers rather than exchanges and other centralized platforms.  That share was 3.5 times higher than in the previous period, marking an unusual divergence from most major crypto markets, where exchanges remain the primary entry and exit point for users.  Stablecoins dominate local activity in China  The shift has been particularly pronounced in stablecoins. Chainalysis said domestic stablecoin payment activity began accelerating around March 2025 and continued expanding for 13 consecutive month-over-month periods, suggesting a gradual migration toward wallet-to-wallet settlement inside the country.  The amount of new activity added each month rose from roughly $240 million in March 2025 to almost $5 billion about a year later. Growth was also concentrated across transaction sizes consistent with individuals and smaller businesses rather than solely large institutional transfers.  Stablecoin volumes below $100 jumped 996% around the start of that shift, while transfers between $100 and $1,000 increased 1,057%. Activity between $1,000 and $10,000 climbed 1,321%, Chainalysis said.  The blockchain analytics firm said the timing
