Executive scan
Today in crypto centered on stablecoin rails moving closer to mainstream workflow. Circle’s Arc appeared across multiple stories, from USDC payments for AI-agent tasks to developer kits bundling stablecoin purchases, lending and bitcoin-backed borrowing. Bloomberg also brought hourly onchain stablecoin data to Terminal users, while Ondo’s tokenized stocks reached $1.26 billion in TVL.
Policy and market-structure coverage stayed busy. The UK FCA opened its crypto authorization gateway ahead of the 2027 regime, setting a Feb. 28, 2027 application marker for firms intending to keep operating in the country. Prediction markets drew a split tape: CBS News partnered with Kalshi for midterm coverage, while Kalshi’s trader-volume incentive program ended early as scrutiny of crypto-market activity intensified.
