BIT: Stablecoin payment narrative heats up, but core demand remains driven by crypto trading

According to chart analysis released by independent analyst Markus Thielen on May 19, the current market capitalization of USDT has reached $189.8 billion, while that of USDC stands at $76.9 billion—both exhibiting long-term upward trends. However, since Bitcoin entered a correction phase in October last year, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has remained largely flat, indicating relatively limited inflows of new capital into the crypto market. Thielen noted that although there is a widespread belief that stablecoins will fully replace traditional payment networks, their primary use cases remain concentrated on crypto trading and portfolio management—still far from achieving mainstream payment adoption. While U.S. policy broadly supports stablecoin development—partly because their reserve assets are often reallocated into U.S. Treasury securities—the gap between current usage and true mainstream payment application remains substantial.

Chainalysis Tracks THORChain Attack Source: Proficient Money Laundering Skills, Cross-Chain Fund Transfer Weeks Before Attack

Odaily Chainalysis posted on X platform, stating that prior to the THORChain theft, wallets suspected to be linked to the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several consecutive weeks. As early as late April, the attacker-associated wallets deposited funds into Hyperliquid positions via Hyperliquid and the Monero privacy bridge. These funds were subsequently converted to USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, then bridged to Ethereum. Some of the ETH was then moved to THORChain to stake as RUNE for a newly joined node, which is believed to be the source of the attack.Subsequently, the attacker bridged a portion of the RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four chains. One chain went directly to the attacker, passing through intermediate wallets before transferring 8 ETH to the wallet that would ultimately receive the stolen funds, just 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three chains flowed in reverse. Between May 14 and 15, these wallets bridged the ETH back to Arbitrum again, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero via the same privacy bridge, with the final transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack commenced. As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds remain untouched, but the attacker has demonstrated sophisticated cross-chain money laundering capabilities. The Hyperliquid to Monero path may be the next move.

Bitwise CIO: The GENIUS Act Opens the Floodgates for Institutional Funding, with Three Enterprise Chains Raising Over $1 Billion Combined

According to The Block, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, noted that three enterprise-grade blockchains—Arc (by Circle), Canton Network, and Tempo (by Stripe)—have collectively raised over $1 billion in funding recently. All three funding rounds occurred after the signing of the GENIUS Act in July 2025. Hougan believes this legislation broke a prior regulatory stalemate that had discouraged institutional capital from entering the space. Hougan identified three key signals: First, all three blockchains prioritize native privacy-preserving transactions as a core design feature, addressing institutions’ need for transaction confidentiality. Second, the implementation of the GENIUS Act has significantly reduced regulatory uncertainty; the next critical variable is the pending Clarity Act, from which stablecoins and tokenization infrastructure stand to benefit. Third, these blockchains are backed by top-tier institutions—including Goldman Sachs, Citadel, BlackRock, Stripe, and Visa—marking a stark contrast to Ethereum and Solana, which emerged from grassroots origins. Hougan stated that his firm’s capital remains primarily allocated to native crypto projects, and he believes these emerging enterprise chains will raise the overall competitive bar and attract additional capital inflows.
