  Is Circle Actually in Trouble? Our Read on the OUSD Launch On June 30th, while Jeremy Allaire was on stage at Goldman Sachs' Digital Assets conference in London talking about "the future of money," Open Standard announced the launch of OUSD, a dollar stablecoin backed by 149 partners. Two days later, Circle's stock ($CRCL) dropped 18% in a single session, now down roughly 76% from its June 2025 high. Does that mean Circle is done for? Here's our read, in six points, including Jeremy Allaire's direct response. 1. Circle's paradox: usage is up, margins are collapsing USDC has never been doing better: roughly $77 billion in circulation, up nearly 20% since the IPO. The problem is that Circle's revenue has only grown 5.5% over the same period, and net margin has collapsed over three quarters, falling from 29% to 8%. The explanation fits in one line: roughly 94% of Circle's revenue comes from interest earned on reserves (mostly T-bills). The market isn't pricing USDC usage, it's pricing Circle's ability to monetize that usage. And that ability is eroding: growing revenue-sharing with distributors (Coinbase chief among them), Binance suspending services in Europe over a missing MiCA license (after Circle had paid for USDC's distribution on the platform), and removal from several Russell Growth indexes in late June. The timing of OUSD couldn't be worse. 2. OUSD: the issuer model, redistributed to the ecosystem Open Standard has assembled a rare lineup: Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, BNY Mellon, Google, Stripe and Shopify on the TradFi side; Coinbase, Aave, Bybit, OKX, Plasma and Tempo on the crypto side. Neither Circle, Tether, nor Paxos are part of it. The pitch is simple and direct: zero minting and redemption fees, with nearly all reserve yield passed back to the partners who adopt and use the stablecoin. In other words, OUSD is attacking the exact revenue line that keeps legacy issuers alive. 3. What Circle still has going for it Circle's regulatory moat is still the one that cannot be beaten, for now: the first global issuer to reach full MiCA compliance back in July 2024, conditional OCC approval for a national trust bank charter in the US, money transmitter licenses across 46 US states. That's years of groundwork a consortium doesn't replicate with a press release. On the integrations side, USDC remains the settlement asset for BlackRock's tokenized BUIDL fund, was just added to BNY Mellon's digital custody platform (itself an OUSD partner...), and stays the default collateral on regulated US and European trading venues. Circle remains the go-to for institutions wanting a regulated dollar backed by nearly a decade of audit history. But a shrinking moat is still a shrinking moat. 4. Jeremy Allaire's response: network effects as the real defense Facing a wave of questions from his investor community, Circle's CEO published a detailed rebuttal that's worth taking seriously rather than dismissing as crisis PR. His core thesis: stablecoin networks are platform businesses built on network effects, established over long periods, that tend toward winner-take-most market structures. He lays out three layers he says protect USDC: - Application-layer network effects: every developer integration strengthens the network, which in turn attracts more integrations. Circle has been building this ecosystem for nearly a decade, with infrastructure like CCTP and Gateway extending interoperability to new chains, including permissioned L2s and government-built networks. - Liquidity network effects: Allaire claims USDC sits in the top 3 most liquid digital assets in the world, alongside BTC and USDT, with the next closest dollar stablecoins roughly 10x smaller in liquidity, often concentrated in a single exchange's promotional books. - Regulatory and banking integration: the states USDC is currently the only major global stablecoin available across all of Europe and Japan, backed by nearly a decade of investment in global banking, treasury and liquidity management. He backs this with a striking data point: in Q1 2026, according to Artemis, USDC handled nearly $30 trillion in on-chain transactions, 80% of all dollar stablecoin transaction volume, versus 20% for USDT, and under 0.5% combined for everyone else, OUSD included at this stage. On the substance of OUSD's pitch, Allaire pushes back point by point: - On free minting and redemption: he notes the entire payments industry runs on small basis-point fees, and that unlimited free redemptions tend to collide with market realities, something Circle says it already addresses through contractual mechanisms rather than a blanket fee exemption. - On passing all revenue back to partners: Circle says it already shares the majority of its revenue with distribution partners, while retaining enough to keep investing in infrastructure. Giving everything away, he argues, is a recipe for structural underinvestment and a platform that stays limited in scope. -On consortium governance: the sharpest point in the piece. Allaire repeats, almost verbatim, a line he'd already made publicly: that large groups of large companies coordinate poorly, have misaligned incentives, and tend to starve their own consortium out of self-interest. He states Circle itself tried this model in USDC's early days and ran into the same problems. He closes by reaffirming that the Coinbase partnership remains as strong as ever, that several OUSD founding members remain major USDC partners, and that Circle continues expanding its own ecosystem (Arc, CPN, StableFX, Agent Stack) by working with dozens of other stablecoin issuers, his way of signaling Circle doesn't feel threatened in its role as infrastructure. 5. Why OUSD hasn't won anything yet Recent history for consortium-backed stablecoins argues for caution, and echoes Allaire's own point. USDG (Paxos, with Kraken, Robinhood, and Galaxy among its backers) is plateauing around $3 billion. PYUSD (PayPal) took two and a half years to approach $4 billion, then shrank by a third from its peak. A big announcement doesn't make an adoption curve. Three questions remain open: governance across a 149-member consortium, historically slow and prone to misaligned incentives; the viability of a model with no fees and no retained yield; and, above all, the end user, since the yield flows to partners, not holders. Why hold OUSD rather than USDC or USDT? The answer will hinge on incentives, and on that front, we're watching Plasma and Tempo (Stripe's chain) closely as the two most likely launch rails. 6. Tether, watching calmly from the sidelines With over $180 billion in USDT circulating, Tether dominates territory OUSD isn't primarily targeting: Tron, P2P payments and remittances in emerging markets, trading collateral in Asia. The threat is real for Circle; at this stage, far less so for Tether. Our takeaway The real story here isn't "Circle vs. OUSD," it's the structural compression of issuance margins. Allaire's response, however well-argued, doesn't refute that point so much as reframe it: his thesis is that network effects and liquidity matter more than distributed yield, and that Circle can afford to share revenue as long as it stays the default rail. That's a defensible position, but it still has to prove itself against a consortium that, for the first time, aligns distributors and infrastructure rather than pitting them against each other. Reserve yield, the economic core of stablecoins, is being redistributed. The question is no longer whether, but to whom: distributors, chains, partners, or end users. For allocators, that's arguably good news: more competition among issuers means more value captured by whoever brings the liquidity and the usage. At Gami Capital, where we run on-chain USDC strategies day to day, we'll be watching liquidity migrations and the opportunities this new landscape creates closely.

  Oracle Co-Founder and Chairman Larry Ellison on why AI is fundamentally different from every tech bubble that came before it: He starts with the internet bubble — not to warn us, but to make a distinction most people are missing. "When people talk about bubbles, what is a bubble? People get exuberant. But the internet was an incredible new technology. It remains the foundation of computing, and we couldn't have AI without the internet." The technology was never the problem. The confusion was. "People started confusing internet companies like PayPal, or even worse internet search, with pets/com." He breaks it down simply: "The fact that I can sell pet food on an e-commerce site doesn't suddenly mean I'm an internet company. Not really." PayPal used the web to build something genuinely new. Pets/com just moved an existing business online and called it innovation. Same label. Completely different substance. He sees the pattern repeating today: "Yes, there'll be people spending money on AI because almost every tech company these days calls themselves an AI company. But they're not. A lot of them are not." But here is where Ellison draws the line between then and now. The internet was foundational. But AI is something else entirely: "AI in terms of its value, this is the highest value technology we have ever seen. By far."

  On a serious note If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair. A drop in my air head bucket. I kept wondering why the band wasn't playing. I said come on I even yelled free bird at them. And I found out it was an open mic type thing. Goofasauras comes to Moscone West. On a serious note I did give somebody a peace sign behind my back this morning too!

  Open Standard just inverted the stablecoin market. On June 30, more than 140 companies including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, BNY and Coinbase unveiled Open USD, a dollar stablecoin run by a new independent company called Open Standard. Circle, Tether and PayPal are not on the partner list. Circle's stock fell 16% the same day. The incumbent issuers keep the float: holders earn zero while the issuer collects Treasury yield on roughly $250B of reserves. Open USD pays that yield out to distributors. Partners mint and redeem for free with no volume caps, and nearly all reserve income goes to the companies that hold and move the coin, after a small management fee. This deal already existed, just never at this scale. Circle pays Coinbase roughly half of USDC reserve income for distribution. Open USD writes that agreement into the coin itself, for Stripe, Shopify, Chime and every other partner. One detail worth holding onto: the GENIUS Act bars issuers from paying yield to the coin holder, so the float income stops at the platforms. The person actually holding the coin collects the same zero as on USDT and USDC. The reason to take it seriously is distribution. Visa runs 4.9 billion payment credentials. Stripe processed $1.9 trillion in 2025 and says Open USD will be the default stablecoin across its network. Shopify moved $378 billion in GMV. No stablecoin has ever launched with that reach on day one. The open questions are real too: launch is slated for late 2026, and the payout formula, the management fee and the board seats remain undisclosed. When 140 of the largest companies in payments compete the margin on dollar tokens down to zero, the wrapper becomes a commodity. Stablecoins crossed $300B in supply and settled $33T last year, and dollars entering the digital asset ecosystem have always flowed toward bitcoin.
