Exclusive: Payments startup Velocity raises $38 million to help businesses tap stablecoin growth(reddit.com)
As stablecoin use surges globally, traditional finance is rushing to keep pace. Many businesses, though, are still getting up to speed on how to integrate dollar-pegged tokens into customer payments, and London-based startup Velocity—which on Tuesday announced a $38 million Series A funding round—is one of the firms helping them to do so. “These are companies that do not understand that they can be using stablecoins to solve their problems. Those are the people we are going for,” said Rob Hadick, a general partner at the venture capital firm Dragonfly, which has carved out a niche in backing firms that facilitate fiat-to-bridge transactions. Dragonfly and Firstmark led Velocity’s Series A round, which also included investments from Coinbase, Capital One Ventures, QED Investors, Activant Capital, Ripple, and Wintermute. Eric Queathem, founder and CEO of Velocity, declined to specify at what valuation his startup raised its most recent stash of capital. Founded in 2025, Velocity aims to tap into the industry’s rapid expansion, with its name pointing to its goal of making payments faster through stablecoins. The company declined to name specific clients but said its customers include a mix of global merchants, payment providers, fintechs, and financial institutions.

Will people even know they're using stablecoins 5 years from now?(reddit.com)
Most users don't think about payment rails today. If stablecoins become mainstream, do you think people will even realize they're using them, or will they just become part of the background? Is the recent attention around OpenUSD a sign of where the industry is heading, or is the hype getting ahead of reality? submitted by /u/KitchenPreference287 [link] [Kommentare]
Close to a million investors of the Trump memecoin lost a collective $3.8 billion, even as the president disclosed $636 million in earnings(reddit.com)
President Donald Trump has raked in hundreds of millions of dollars from his signature cryptocurrency while his supporters have largely been left holding the bag, according to a report. Of the 1.48 million wallets that bought the $TRUMP memecoin since it launched just three days before Trump’s second inauguration last year, about 66%, or 988,905 wallets, had lost money by the end of June. According to data from blockchain analytics firm Nansen, the combined losses were $3.81 billion, reported the New York Times. The losses are stark given that President Trump has claimed large profits from the token, which sports a picture of him with his fist in the air and the words “Fight, Fight, Fight,” in reference to the Butler, PA attempted assassination attempt in 2024. According to the president’s most recent financial disclosures, he had pocketed $636 million from the $TRUMP memecoin alone.

EBRD and EU back URECA’s Coal-to-Solar project in Mongolia. Data stored on Blockchain(reddit.com)
In Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, families who live in ‘gers’ (Mongolian yurts central to the nomadic way of life) wake throughout the night in winter to feed their stoves coal: at 01.00, 03.00, and again before dawn, just to survive freezing temperatures. The very fuel that keeps them warm also makes the city one of the most polluted capitals in the world, with each household on average responsible for 12 to 13 tonnes of carbon emissions. URECA is a climate tech startup whose pilot Coal-to-Solar Initiative project pairs technology with carbon finance to direct capital into scalable, high-impact climate solutions while supporting low-income households to transition to clean energy and tackling severe air pollution. They propose a new technology designed to restore trust and credibility in climate finance, making it more accessible to communities. With help from the EBRD’s Star Venture programme, URECA is now better positioned to scale its climate solution. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [Kommentare]
