Circle\'s euro stablecoin EURC has exceeded 400 million euros in circulation four years after launch. Dollar-based stablecoins still dominate, with about 98 percent of total stablecoin value denominated in dollars, while euro-linked stablecoins account for less than 1 percent of the global market. EURC has expanded across multiple blockchains and accelerated in supply growth. Circle links the expansion to the EU\'s MiCA framework, alongside widening integration with Visa, Mastercard and payment firms.

XRP slid as low as $0.99, its lowest level since November 2024, as selling pressure dominated both spot and derivatives markets. Data showed worsening cumulative volume delta on Binance perpetual futures and a shift to negative spot CVD on centralized exchanges. Positioning also leaned bearish, with shorts outnumbering longs. The decline coincided with concern over movements from an XRP Ledger account used for the Coreum bridge, though indicators such as spot XRP ETF inflows remained positive.
