Circle paid roughly $819M to USDC distribution partners and transaction costs in the first half of 2026.
More than 150 partners participate in USDC’s economics, sharing in the growth they help drive.
Here’s how the model works: circle.com/blog/the-economic…

Q3 was a big quarter for Circle with $13.9T moved onchain being a testament to their growing influence in stablecoin transactions.
Conditional approval is a positive step but doesn't address specific compliance standards Circle will meet.
Conditional approval from the OCC is a big step towards compliance #usdc and I'm curious to know what specific standards Circle will be meeting.

Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa: “I’m not going to be the governor for just Democrats”
She was asked at her first press conference why she’d go bipartisan after voters gave Democrats a mandate:
“Because this is about my campaign promises, what I ran to create as governor. We are forging a new way forward. People are tired of the divisions, of the fighting, tired of the culture wars. This is a time to come together in a way that is about just delivering for the people of Texas."
"Ernest Bailes, Representative Ernest Bailes and myself were close allies delivering for our public schools. In fact, I count him as one of my best allies for public schools. That is his commitment. There is really little light between our positions on public education, and as such, he serves as a tremendous leader on this transition team."
"And look, there are lots of issues with whom my good allies are Republicans. So I’m just about delivering for people. This is not about being a Democratic administration. I’m not going to be the governor for just Democrats. I’m going to be the governor for all the people of Texas.”
Gina Hinojosa says she would issue a moratorium on all *new* Texas data centers until the legislature passes protections
“What I would do is pass laws to protect people. That’s the way this works. Right? It’s not promises that can be broken November 4th, the day after the election. It’s about passing laws to protect Texans."
"That’s what I’ve called on this governor to do, to call a special session, an emergency special session. He has the sole power to do it. He refuses to do it. He’s received $20 million from data center interests."
"I would issue a moratorium on any new data centers until the legislature can pass laws to protect Texans."
"Everything from water to electricity, jobs, all of it. Right? Making sure we have guardrails when it comes to AI. This is what AI is for. This is what it is not for."
"I just had a press conference yesterday where I denounced Greg Abbott’s plan to convert 100 schools in Houston into AI schools, a model in which teachers are replaced by education guides. This is experimenting on our kids. Parents don’t want this."
"Kids spend enough time on screens, yet this is how big tech makes more money. And Greg Abbott is in the pockets of the big tech donors. So we just need some basic protections and guardrails in law. That’s how this works.”

🚨 TRUMP SAYS HE WILL STEP IN IF TEXAS ABANDONS HIS BORDER POLICY.
Asked about Gina Hinojosa, he said he would act if Texas stops following his approach to securing the border.
Changing governors does not erase the border.
Texas, he is watching.
I love the idea of creating personalized drumming videos, it will be so cool to see people express themselves through Sabar.
Step into the rhythm of Sabar with Alibaba cloud-based AI at @jojdakar2026.🥁
At the official Festival Site, create personalized drumming videos by WAN at our interactive kiosk and chat with a Qwen-powered agent to explore Olympic history and Dakar 2026, where local heritage meets interactive technology.
I agree that overemphasis on surface-level ideas might hinder exploration of deeper concepts.

That's a difference of 16 points, and it's hard to argue with Lamine's current output.
The only argument people had against calling Lamine the best player in the world was his output. Not because 40+ G/A in a season is low by any means, but because it wasn't quite as high as players like Mbappé and Kane.
Well, that argument is a thing of the past now. 24 G/A in his first 15 games of the season, more than anyone else, all while being a winger who creates things out of nothing, receives the ball in deep and wide areas, and is comfortably the best dribbler in the world.
The level of completeness Lamine offers, combining overall impact with output, combining elite dribbling, creativity and goalscoring, is something nobody else in the world can match right now.
He's the best player in the world. There's no way around it.

I think making Starknet an L1 is a good idea, but what are the implications for smart contract compatibility?
Should Starknet become an independent post-quantum L1?
99.93% YES so far. 5 days to go.

The metro rail project seems like a significant investment for the state's infrastructure.
There is a buzz in Chennai today that you do not see for every official visit.
Over ₹13,000 crore worth of projects for Tamil Nadu in a single day. Metro rail, national highways, railways, three major ports, a refinery project and a world-class brain research centre at IIT Madras.
People here have heard many promises over the years. What they are responding to now is delivery they can see, touch and use.
That is why the warmth for PM Narendra Modi in Tamil Nadu keeps growing. He shows up with work done, not speeches alone.
This is what it feels like when the Centre treats Tamil Nadu as a priority.

🚨BREAKING: Christian pastor Myles Rutherford is facing a backlash and calls to cancel him after saying Christians have to get out and vote, or Muslims will take over the country.
“Christians should stand up and get involved in politics. If you don’t, Muslims will.
Why are we asking for this nation to change if we can’t get up off our tails, go to the voting booth, and vote according to the values in that Bible?
If you don’t show up and vote, don’t be upset when everything goes awry 10 to 15 years from now, there’s a mosque on every corner, everybody is calling out to Allah, and things start changing to Sharia law.”
