Picture this—not schmoozing with a Gitmo pariah, but a world in which sending money across borders is as easy as sending an email. No mile-long lines at banks, no exorbitant fees, no waiting three days for the transaction to clear. That future could be powered by stablecoins. What if the...
Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse has predicted big things in U.S. stablecoin regulation. He thinks Circle’s successful IPO will help push this progress along. Garlinghouse is the first to admit he’d been overly optimistic. As bipartisan efforts are moving the GENIUS Act—a stablecoin regulatory bill—closer to enactment, a bipartisan stablecoin...
Circle Internet Financial's (CRCL) monumental 124% surge on its June 5, 2025, IPO debut wasn't just another day on Wall Street. It signaled a turning point for stablecoins.

That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Quite frankly, I’m not convinced that it is, and I don’t think the answer is...
BitStarz. The name alone should make you picture stunning interfaces, piles of Bitcoin, and the excitement of provably fair games.
