💵 Circle Acquires Payout Infrastructure in $400M Deal

Circle is spending $400 million on an acquisition aimed at solving what it describes as the "last mile" problem — connecting stablecoins to real-world payment disbursements.

The deal is designed to tighten Circle's control over regulated payout infrastructure, enabling stablecoin settlements to reach end recipients more directly. Under the arrangement, partner banks involved in the network would retain their own risks and regulatory duties.

The move comes as Circle, issuer of the USDC stablecoin, pushes deeper into payments infrastructure ahead of its planned IPO, positioning USDC as a practical settlement layer for real-world financial flows rather than purely a crypto-native asset.

🪙 RWA perpetual trading volume tops $120 billion

Real-world asset (RWA) perpetual trading volume has surpassed $120 billion, representing a sharp increase recorded in less than a year.

The rapid volume growth positions RWA perpetuals as one of the faster-expanding segments within on-chain derivatives markets.

🔐 Nomic bug left Alloyed BTC 36% undercollateralized for 74 days

A software flaw in Nomic quietly erased a third of the backing behind Alloyed BTC, a wrapped Bitcoin asset on the Osmosis DEX — and went undetected for 74 days.

According to Osmosis, the bug caused a 36% shortfall in the fund's collateral without triggering any alerts or visible on-chain anomalies during that period. The issue has since been identified and disclosed by the Osmosis team.

The incident highlights ongoing risks in DeFi infrastructure, particularly around wrapped asset protocols where collateral integrity is critical but not always continuously monitored.

The takedown highlights continued U.S. pressure on crypto-based illicit finance infrastructure, particularly networks operating through encrypted messaging platforms like Telegram.

⚖️ Armstrong: US crypto clarity coming with or without CLARITY Act

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says the US crypto industry will gain regulatory clarity regardless of whether the CLARITY Act passes its key Senate vote on September 15.

Speaking to CNBC, Armstrong said Congress passing the bill remains the preferred path, noting it could unlock institutional capital. However, he added that action from the SEC and CFTC could serve as a fallback if the legislation stalls in the Senate.

The CLARITY Act is one of the most significant crypto market structure bills currently moving through Congress, with its September 15 Senate test widely watched as a milestone for US digital asset regulation.
