Open USD rattled Circle's stock, but its key backers still support USDC

Recent earnings calls from Open USDs highest-profile backers, however, paint a more nuanced picture. Executives at Coinbase, Visa and Mastercard all said they intend to support multiple stablecoins instead of betting on a single winner, describing Open USD as another network to connect to rather than a replacement for USDC.　　Multi-coin strategy　　During its second-quarter earnings call last week, Coinbase reassured investors about its close relationship with Circle. Chief Financial Officer Alesia Haas said the exchange has already met the conditions to renew its commercial agreement with Circle and will continue growing the USDC ecosystem.　　CEO Brian Armstrong also said Coinbase remains a “multi-stablecoin platform” and wants to support whichever stablecoins customers choose to use. The exchange already supports USDC alongside Tethers USDT and PayPals PYUSD, he said, with Open USD creating “additional business opportunities and revenue opportunities.”　　Ryan McInerney, CEO of Visa, struck a similar tone during his firms earnings call, describing the company as “multi-coin, multi-chain” and saying that Visas role is to help clients connect to whichever stablecoins gain adoption.　　“Our role is not to pick winners,” he said.　　Notably, Visa offered the first live example of pushing Open USD to customers. The firm last month launched its Visa Stablecoin Platform, giving banks,

Alibaba Just Gave Away Its Best AI Model For Free, Almost Matching Claude and ChatGPT

In briefQwen3.8-Max runs 2.4 trillion parameters and is the first Max-class Qwen model Alibaba will release as open weights.It ships with setup instructions for Anthropics Claude Code and OpenAIs Codex—rival tools.On Alibabas own benchmark table, Fable 5 wins 15 of 31 tests. Qwen3.8-Max wins seven.　　Alibaba released Qwen3.8-Max on Monday, calling it the most capable model it has ever built. The weights land on Hugging Face and ModelScope next week—the first time the company has given away a model at Max scale.　　The specs are big: 2.4 trillion parameters total, with 95 billion switched on at any moment. Parameters are the number of dials a model is able to handle.　　This is extremely important for efficiency as it means it would not require too much resources to run. Think of it as a huge library where only the relevant shelf lights up for each question. Small businesses and labs with good enough hardware are now able to run a state-of-the-art model without spending the same as a huge datacenter.　　Alibabas release post skips the usual benchmark-chasing narrative and leans on endurance instead. The model spent 16 days building a coding tool by itself—265 commits, 127 pull requests, 151 issues, no human touching the keyboard.

Quick TakeThe senators accused President Donald Trump of being involved in a “rug pull” and called on the agency to determine whether securities laws had been violated.The letter comes as the White House is mulling the latest compromise to address Trumps crypto forays as a way to move forward with potentially passing broad crypto legislation into law.　　Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal are calling on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate President Donald Trumps memecoin.　　In a letter sent Monday to SEC Chair Paul Atkins, the senators pointed to reports that nearly 1 million crypto wallets have lost money since the launch of Trumps memecoin (TRUMP) in January 2025, with combined losses totaling about $3.81 billion. They accused Trump of being involved in a “rug pull” and called on the agency to determine whether securities laws had been violated.　　“Given sharp depreciation in the coin‘s value—despite the hype coming directly from the President’s own public statements—the SEC must investigate whether a fraudulent scheme may be underway, and prevent further extraction of enormous value from the hundreds of thousands of investors who put their faith in Trumps coin,” they said.　　The letter comes as the White House is mulling the latest

Clarity Act sits idle over Trump ethics question as Warren asks SEC to investigate him

Spokespeople for the White House didnt immediately respond to CoinDesks questions about its current stance.　　If a new agreement isnt quickly struck that can convince as many as 10 Democrats to support the bill, Senate Majority Leader John Thunes plan to begin the Senate voting process for the Clarity Act this week could lead to a fatal defeat.　　Senator Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, is the top minority-party member of the Senate Banking Committee, though shes been outside of the negotiations over the Clarity Act that shes steadily opposed. If Democrats get the electoral bump theyre anticipating in this years midterm congressional elections, theres a narrow chance for her party to return to the majority in the Senate. If so, Warren would likely run the banking committee, which oversees the SEC and has a hand in most crypto legislation.　　“The SEC must be willing to enforce the law even when potential wrongdoers include those with powerful political connections,” she and Blumenthal wrote in the letter.
