14 Million USDCx on Cardano Minted in One Hour as Mainnet Debut Approaches

It seems that all Cardano supporters may finally get their first major stablecoin on their favorite blockchain soon, as, on Friday, Feb. 27, a multimillion mint, currently totaling 14 million USDCx, was reported by Cexplorer. Given that the stated launch deadline was February and just over one day remains until the end of the month, it can be expected that within the next 36 hours we may see official confirmation of the full USDCx integration on Cardano.

The discussion concerns the integration of USDC by Circle with Cardano, an agreement on which was signed and announced by Charles Hoskinson at the end of January 2026. The token carries the ticker USDCx. 

Why USDCx on Cardano is not a simple USDC stablecoin

Unlike other USDC deployments on blockchains such as Solana or Ethereum, USDC on Cardano will not be native. Hence, the “X” suffix, as the stablecoin here represents a version backed one-to-one by the original USDC through Circle’s Xreserve infrastructure.

This solution is specifically designed for blockchains that do not use the Ethereum Virtual Machine, such as Cardano.

One of the key features of USDCx on Cardano is its focus on transaction privacy through the use of Zero Knowledge Proof technology, which also distinguishes it from standard versions on other networks. Otherwise, USDCx is expected to function like a regular Circle stablecoin. 

It is important to note that direct redemption into fiat dollars via a Circle bank account is available only to institutional clients. Retail users are expected to exchange it on centralized exchanges or via DEXes, where it will be instantly converted into standard USDC when exiting the network.

Before USDCX, Cardano users relied on USDTM; bridge tokens such as those issued via WanChain that provided wrapped versions of USDC and USDT; and DJED, an algorithmic overcollateralized stablecoin. 

However, these solutions do not compare to a Circle-issued stablecoin which, in addition to its capitalization — effectively liquidity in the case of a stablecoin — of $75 billion, significantly expands access for Cardano developers and users of the broader global crypto market.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
