Global payments giant Visa announced on Tuesday the official launch of stablecoin settlement services in the United States, symbolizing that traditional financial institutions' interest in blockchain payment channels has shifted from "wait-and-see" to "practical application." According to Visa's statement, this service allows U.S. financial institutions to use the USD stablecoin USDC issued by Circle for backend cash flow and clearing operations on the Solana blockchain.

Global payments giant Visa announced on December 17th that it will open its network’s stablecoin settlement capabilities to US financial institutions, allowing transactions and settlements using USDC issued by Circle via the Solana blockchain. This move marks the first time stablecoins have achieved full commercial application within the mainstream banking system in the United States, representing a key market breakthrough following the signing of the federal stablecoin framework by the Trump administration in July 2025, which provided a clear regulatory pathway. Cross River Bank and Lead Bank have become the first institutions to adopt this service. Although Visa’s network annualized stablecoin settlement volume has exceeded $3.5 billion, compared to the $17 trillion in total transactions processed last year, this emerging business line has enormous potential, indicating that the integration of traditional finance and crypto assets is accelerating rapidly.

According to River data, nearly 60% of the 25 largest banks in the United States are currently in some stage of direct sales, custody, or offering Bitcoin advisory services. This figure marks a historic shift in the attitude of American banks, which for years have regarded Bitcoin as a risk asset to be avoided, citing reasons such as capital rules, custody issues, and reputational risks.

Visa announces that US banks issuing cards and acquiring banks can now settle VisaNet debts using Circle's USDC stablecoin, marking the first time this functionality has been implemented in the United States.

34-year-old Taiwanese influencer Pei Yun Chung repeatedly dined and dashed at high-end restaurants in New York and was eventually arrested by the police. She is now being held at Rikers Island jail. (Source: World Journal). Rikers Island, located in New York City's East River between Manhattan and Queens, is one of the city's largest detention centers, typically housing inmates awaiting trial or sentencing. Rikers Island has long been notorious for its harsh, violent environment. Due to its large inmate population and outdated facilities, prisoners are forced to stay in overcrowded cells that are not only cramped but also have poor sanitation and frequent issues with prison violence. The stark contrast between the glamorous influencer on Instagram and her current detention in such harsh conditions highlights the bizarre events of recent years.

In the fast-evolving landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi), River emerges as an innovative chain-abstraction stablecoin system designed to enable seamless cross-chain collateral, yield generation, and liquidity without the hassles of bridging or wrapped assets.

In the fragmented landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi), RIVER emerges as a groundbreaking chain-abstraction stablecoin system designed to enable seamless cross-chain collateral, yield generation, and liquidity—without the complexities of bridging.

As security incidents in cross-chain bridges and fragmented Liquidity have become the biggest pain points in the DeFi space, River Protocol has quickly attracted market attention with its grand narrative of "chain abstraction" stablecoin and unique dynamic Airdrop model. Its core product, satUSD, allows users to mint assets directly on the target chain without the need for cross-chain bridges, and this innovative concept has attracted $525 million TVL in a short period. However, behind its seemingly perfect technical solution, the complicated liquidation mechanism risks and the governance structure that is not yet fully transparent pose the main challenges the project faces.

What is the River Token? River (RIVER) is a chain-abstract stablecoin protocol that achieves cross-chain liquidity and yield strategies through its native stablecoin satUSD. The core innovation lies in allowing users to collateralize assets on one blockchain and mint satUSD on another blockchain without the need for any bridging.
