Circle's USDC stablecoin has been officially integrated into BNY Mellon's digital asset custody platform, becoming the first stablecoin supported. The two parties deepen collaboration to provide institutional clients with the full lifecycle of stablecoin services—from USD minting to redemption. Circle's Chief Business Officer Kash Razzaghi stated that the partnership bridges on-chain assets with traditional assets, with future plans to expand to more stablecoin issuers and digital cash workflows. This marks a key milestone for traditional finance giants entering compliant stablecoin custody.

BlackRock and Ethena Labs have announced an expanded partnership, with the algorithmic stablecoin USDe being recognized as a qualified crypto asset on BlackRock's Aladdin platform, which manages over $25 trillion in assets. Through Securitize, the two parties have established a $100 million liquidity facility for BlackRock's tokenized Treasury fund BUIDL, allowing eligible clients to convert BUIDL tokens into stablecoins such as USDC and USDtb outside of regular trading hours, and vice versa. Launched on Ethereum in 2024, BUIDL currently holds approximately $3 billion in total value locked (TVL), making it one of the world's largest tokenized U.S. Treasury funds. This move signifies traditional finance's growing embrace of on-chain interoperability and reinforces the convergence of RWA tokenization with stablecoin infrastructure.

According to PR Newswire, crypto investment firm BitMine increased its Ethereum holdings by 27,084 ETH last week, bringing total holdings to 5,700,040 ETH (approximately 4.7% of total supply). Its total assets, including crypto, cash and other investments, are valued at approximately $9.8 billion, with over 85% of its ETH staked, yielding an annualized ~$211 million. Tom Lee noted that BitMine was added to the Russell 1000 Index on June 26, 2026, likely attracting hundreds to thousands of new institutional investors. However, ETH fell 8% this week amid quarter-end 'window dressing' effects. Lee maintains the long-term outlook remains positive, driven by Wall Street on-chain infrastructure and proxy AI payment systems.

Circle CBO Kash Razzaghi emphasized the partnership bridges on-chain and traditional assets, with plans to expand to more stablecoin issuers and digital cash workflows. This move positions USDC as a key entry point for institutional stablecoin adoption within one of the world's largest custodian banks.

Ethereum Layer-2 project Taiko has confirmed that the attack vector exploited on June 21 has been fully neutralized. The fix passed independent security expert review, and user funds are safe.
