The move comes as federal stablecoin legislation provides clearer institutional on-ramps, while Arbitrum&amp;rsquo;s ARB token surged 25% on Robinhood Chain fees generating roughly $192K daily for the DAO. Separately, Ethena Pay launched a neobank offering 6% savings and 5% cashback, B2B stablecoin payment flows are revealed to be far smaller than headline figures at $390B, and Strategy sold 7,000 BTC at $60K-$65K to fund dividends before buying back near $80K.</description></item><item><title>Bitcoin up 21% in a week, XRP 46%, and Circle picks Sept. 16 for Arc mainnet</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-25-crypto/</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2026 12:11:32 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-25-crypto/</guid><description>Bitcoin held above $77,000 after a 21% weekly gain, with XRP up 46% over the same stretch, as markets waited on new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh&amp;rsquo;s Jackson Hole debut. Bernstein reiterated Outperform on Circle with a $140 target, arguing the company&amp;rsquo;s growth no longer depends on the Clarity Act after USDC supply added $1.7B in a week. Circle set September 16 for the public mainnet launch of Arc, its permissioned proof-of-authority chain backed by BlackRock, DTCC, Mastercard, Visa, and nine other founding validators. Strategy sold $2B in MSTR shares without buying any bitcoin, parking the proceeds in a $1.59B &amp;ldquo;USD Cash&amp;rdquo; pool, while Gemini and Apex inked a deal to distribute crypto event contracts through brokerage clients.</description></item></channel></rss>
