## Resource

Japan continues pushing stablecoins into the mainstream as  JCB , the country's largest card network, partners with  Circle to explore USDC for cross-border payments and merchant transactions. Matt also covers CleanSpark's  $6.6 billion  data center lease, Coinbase Ventures remaining the most active crypto investor of 2026, and why stablecoin adoption continues accelerating around the world. The episode also examines the latest fight over the  Clarity Act , as banking groups push Congress to block stablecoin rewards while law enforcement throws its support behind the legislation. Matt wraps up with the U.S. government's  $288 million  crypto transfer to Coinbase Prime, slowing Bitcoin ETF trading volumes, and why Japan continues to focus on building real-world crypto infrastructure while much of the U.S. debate remains centered on regulation. Happy Hodling, Everyone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
