💸 Movement pivots from Ethereum L2 to launch as a Layer 1 focused on payments and remittances with stablecoins @movement_xyz announced one of the most ambitious strategic shifts in the blockchain sector this year: abandoning its previous Ethereum Layer 2 model to relaunch as a sovereign Layer 1 dedicated entirely to payments, remittances, and fintech adoption using stablecoins. The network will now be led by Move Industries, the new entity responsible for its development and regulatory expansion. Key changes in the relaunch Move Industries obtained payment system licenses in the U.S., Canada, and the European Union Circle launched USDCx as a native stablecoin on Movement Integrated wallets such as KAST and Sorted, along with tokenization projects including Oro, Yuzu Money, and Zoth Avant protocol incorporated for yield and treasury products The Movement Network Foundation repurchased 19% of tokens allocated to investors, representing 4.1% of the total supply The new architecture delivers settlement times under 500 milliseconds and eliminates several external dependencies present during its Ethereum L2 stage. Focus on remittances and emerging markets Torab Torabi, head of Move Industries, summarized the project’s new vision: “We are no longer a crypto company. We are a fintech leveraging blockchain rails.” The main goal is to capture a share of the global remittance market, valued at approximately $685 billion, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. The company has already held discussions with Ethiopian authorities to explore nationwide adoption. Why it matters The relaunch positions Movement as a blockchain infrastructure for real-world use rather than purely speculative activity. The combination of native stablecoins, regulatory licenses, and payment tools aims to bring blockchain to millions of users beyond traditional markets. After a complex 2025 and leaving its Ethereum L2 focus behind, Movement seeks to completely redefine its narrative as a global fintech platform built on blockchain technology. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is based on official announcements from Movement and Move Industries.

Colby reveals the differences between USDC and dstable. "It's taking the dirty work out of fetching yield." "The moment you buy it, it gets minted, it's swapping that Eth and it splits it 50/50 into USDC and USDT, both of them and then in the same same call is it's putting it into Aave." "Collecting that yield and streaming that yield back to you for holding dstable. So, as a user, you reduce all the friction."

Coinbase Just Picked a Very Specific ETF to Back Its Stablecoin Reserves This isn't your typical Treasury bond move. #Coinbase just invested in a ProShares ETF specifically designed for stablecoin reserves. The ETF holds ultra-short-term Treasury securities. Think 0-3 month maturities - the safest, most liquid government debt you can buy. This is part of how Coinbase backs USDC, its #stablecoin that's supposed to be worth exactly $1. Every USDC in circulation needs real dollars or equivalents sitting somewhere. ProShares built this ETF explicitly for companies like Coinbase that need to park stablecoin collateral. It's boring. It's safe. And it's exactly what stablecoins need to avoid becoming the next Terra Luna disaster. The infrastructure behind crypto is getting more traditional by the day.

USD1, the stablecoin from the WLFI team, is making headlines with a new yield structure. TownSquare and Native are launching a yield vault for USD1 on Monad. The mechanics differ slightly from classic DeFi: instead of providing two-sided liquidity and facing impermanent loss risk, this model uses a single-sided structure. You deposit only USD1, and the yield comes from transaction fees paid by professional market makers and trading activity. Most stablecoin vaults offer yields hovering around bond interest rates, often inflated by additional token incentives. This approach aims to establish a more sustainable foundation by tying yield directly to real trading volume. A note: the yield is variable, not fixed. As it’s based on trading activity, yield will decline when trading volume drops—so the current rate is not a guarantee of future returns. Like all on-chain vaults, it carries smart contract risk. While the team behind USD1 and their underlying model are compelling, it’s advisable to thoroughly review the mechanics and risks before participating.
