Stablecoin bank Augustus raises $180 million to build a clearing bank for the AI era

Augustus, a startup building a federally chartered clearing bank for fintechs and financial institutions, said it raised $180 million to expand its dollar payment infrastructure as stablecoins reshape global finance.　　The fundraising valued the company at $1 billion, with Tiger Global leading the round and investors such as Hummingbird, QED and the founders of Nubank, Ramp, Circle and Deel participating, the company said in a Tuesday press release.　　The investment comes as banks, fintechs and crypto firms are racing to modernize the infrastructure behind cross-border payments. While much of the attention has centered on stablecoin issuers, Augustus is targeting a less visible but crucial part of the financial system: correspondent banking.　　“We think distribution breaks at the clearing bank layer,” CEO Ferdinand Dabitz told CoinDesk in an interview. Legacy clearing systems are “slow, unavailable, take two days to settle and close on the weekends,” he argued.　　Taking on correspondent banking　　The firm is building what Dabitz described as an “AI-native” clearing bank designed around stablecoins, programmable money and always-on settlement.　　Augustus doesnt plan to issue its own stablecoin, Dabitz said. Instead, it wants to provide the banking infrastructure that lets financial institutions move money across traditional payment systems and blockchain networks.

Tesla to post first cash burn in two years as AI spending climbs

Automobile manufacturer Tesla is expected to report its first quarterly cash burn in over two years when it releases Q2 results after the close on Wednesday, a warning sign for investors who have bet that the companys spending on robots and self-driving cars will pay off.　　LSEG data puts the company‘s second-quarter free cash flow at minus $3.3 billion. This is a direct opposite to the positive $1.4 billion cash flow in the first quarter, and it lands just as Tesla’s core car business is finally recovering. Chief Financial Officer Vaibhav Taneja told investors in April that the company would run negative free cash flow for the rest of 2026.　　Tesla‘s capital budget has pushed past $25 billion for the year, up from about $20 billion three months earlier. Almost $20 billion of this capital budget is aimed at AI, covering Dojo compute, a data center expansion, the Cybercab, and the Optimus humanoid robot. Reports claim capital expenditure is expected to reach $6.7 billion in the quarter alone. A year ago, Tesla’s free cash flow was at about $5.6 billion.　　Automobile business not the issue　　Tesla delivered over 480,126 vehicles in the quarter, up about 25% from a year earlier and above the 397,000

Bank of Korea CBDC pilot skipped independent security audit, report says

South Koreas first CBDC pilot has been conducted without any independent government security inspection, with participating banks relying mainly on their own pre-launch reviews before testing began.　　South Korean newspaper Maeil Business, citing data submitted by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) to People Power Party lawmaker Lee Heon-seung, reported that financial authorities did not carry out separate security inspections during the first phase of the Bank of Koreas central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilot, which ran from April to June last year.　　Instead, the only security work completed before the pilot started consisted of an IT security review and vulnerability assessment carried out in February. According to the report, those reviews relied partly on self-inspection teams from participating lenders Woori Bank and NongHyup Bank alongside the Financial Security Institute and cybersecurity firm SK Shields.　　The arrangement has raised questions because institutions taking part in the pilot also helped assess the security of the systems being tested. According to the documents reviewed by Maeil Business, no evidence was provided that an independent government inspection or external audit took place after the pilot concluded.　　Report raises questions over independent oversight　　The report said the Bank of Korea later addressed security concerns in its published report on the

Japanese Yen: Japans fiscal pivot and GPIF flows reshape rates – BNY

BNY‘s Geoff Yu highlights Japan’s new fiscal guidelines under Prime Minister Takaichi, which prioritize proactive spending and long-term investment over near-term consolidation. The plan targets large public-private outlays and abandons the single-year primary surplus goal, while GPIF and insurers increase domestic and super-long JGB exposure, influencing USD/JPY and Japanese Yen (JPY) rate dynamics.　　Proactive spending and JGB demand in focus　　“Japans Cabinet approved its first economic and fiscal policy guidelines under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, marking a clear shift toward aggressive, strategic fiscal spending with no explicit call for fiscal consolidation. The blueprint treats the next fiscal year from April as the first year of ”responsible and proactive“ spending and targets ¥370tn of combined public-private investment by fiscal 2040, with a focus on 17 areas, especially semiconductors.”　　“It also introduces a new budget allotment from fiscal 2027 and ends the traditional push for a single-year primary surplus, instead seeking to steadily lower the debt-to-GDP ratio over time. The government aims for real growth above 1% and nominal growth above 3% and plans to decide on a possible food tax cut by early August. It reiterated that monetary policy remains the Bank of Japans (BoJ) responsibility.”　　“Japanese insurers bought the most super-long JGBs in three

MoneyGram‘s CEO says blockchain works best when customers don’t know its there

In attempting to modernize and better meet its customers‘ needs, MoneyGram has partnered with the Stellar network, which has underpinned many of the company’s blockchain initiatives over the past five years. But the company has also started exploring other ecosystems: while Stellar remains a core partner, MoneyGram has also become a validator on Solana and Tempo. For MoneyGram, the immediate payoff isn‘t speculative crypto activity, it’s replacing legacy financial rails.　　Todays cross-border settlement still largely depends on banking hours and weekday processing. Blockchain-based infrastructure, Soohoo argued, enables real-time settlement around the clock, reducing operational costs while improving the customer experience.　　“We believe if we do it right, we can achieve all three,” he said, referring to helping customers save time, effort and money. Instant settlement also allows MoneyGram to lower back-office costs, savings the company hopes to eventually pass on through lower prices. Currently, MoneyGrams fees start at $1.89 and vary depending on what country you send them to.　　Soohoo doesn‘t believe consumers need to understand the technology powering those improvements. He compared blockchain to the processors inside Apple’s iPhone.　　“I can‘t tell you what processor is inside my iPhone,” he said. “I just know it’s faster.” In the same way, he argued, remittance
