Markets

ETFs, flows & the morning tone: Dogecoin and XRP grabbed headlines as new U.S. ETFs listed—part of the post-rule-change wave. Early prints show healthy curiosity: CoinDesk cites ~$37.7M day-one volume for the XRP product (ticker: XRPR), with DOGE (DOJE) also active out of the gate. For context, that’s punchy for a new thematic ETF and could seed tighter spreads as liquidity providers step in.

Macro-wise, it’s a mild risk-off Friday: Barron’s notes BTC slipping ~0.6% and majors giving back a slice after this week’s rally on the Fed cut, but the tape remains net positive week-to-date. Translation: digestion, not derailment.

U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw a modest ~$51M net outflow mid-week after a multi-day inflow streak, per Yahoo Finance tallies—nothing trend-breaking, but a reminder that flows zigzag even in constructive regimes. Keep an eye on closing prints as issuers rebalance into quarter-end.

Regulation

Canada’s central bank to lawmakers: pick a lane on stablecoins: The Bank of Canada called for federal-level rules on stablecoins, urging swift, coordinated action across agencies. The message: these instruments are already system-relevant; oversight should catch up before risks compound. Expect this to shape how banks onboard stablecoin rails and custody fiat-token reserves north of the border. (As outlined by Reuters.)

Italy’s central bank: clarify “multi-issuance” models: In Europe, the Bank of Italy pressed for clearer frameworks around multi-issuer stablecoins—where multiple banks mint under a shared standard. The takeaway for compliance teams: governance, redemption, and resolution mechanics will be scrutinized before scale. (According to Reuters coverage.)

Adoption

PayPal pushes PYUSD across more chains: PayPal’s dollar stablecoin is expanding to nine additional networks using LayerZero’s interoperability stack, broadening PYUSD’s reach into DeFi venues beyond its original homes. For merchants and wallets, this could mean simpler on-ramps and fewer bridges to maintain—provided liquidity follows the contracts. (According to CoinDesk updates.)

Brazil’s Nubank to pilot stablecoin card payments: Latin America’s largest digital bank plans a pilot letting customers settle credit-card spends with dollar-pegged stablecoins—a notable crossover between trad-bank UX and tokenized cash. Announced by vice-chair Roberto Campos Neto, it targets everyday payments, not just crypto-native users. (Reported by Cointelegraph and industry trackers.)

Tech & Innovation

Bitcoin Optech: Lightning tweaks & network hardening: Today’s Bitcoin Optech notes cover proposals to improve Lightning’s handling of redundant overpayments and discussions on defending full nodes from partitioning attacks. For builders, the thrust is incremental UX and resiliency—small code changes that compound into sturdier rails. (From the Bitcoin Optech Newsletter.)

Ops watch: Coinbase resolves brief ERC-20 delays: Coinbase flagged—and then resolved—delays affecting some ETH/ERC-20 sends and receives overnight (U.S. time). Trading and fiat rails were unaffected. Operational blips are routine at scale, but if you run bots or treasury automations, it’s a nudge to keep failovers and alerts tight. (Per Coinbase Status.)
