Tether Becomes Seventh-Largest Overseas Buyer of U.S. Debt in 2025, Stablecoin Regulation Battle Splits Trump Supporters

2 hours ago

February 13 — According to the Financial Times, Tether bought a net $28.2 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds in 2025, becoming the seventh-largest foreign holder. Its U.S. bond holdings, combined with Circle’s, now exceed those of countries like South Korea and Saudi Arabia. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argues stablecoins are a tool to boost the U.S. dollar and absorb U.S. debt, with the industry projected to grow from $300 billion today to $30 trillion. Now, the banking sector is clashing with the crypto industry over stablecoin regulation. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong disagree on key terms. Banks worry letting third parties pay interest on stablecoins would siphon retail deposits to the tokens, raising financial risks. This fight has split Trump’s supporters, pitting Wall Street banks against crypto industry donors in a conflict of interest.

Coinbase has launched a CDP SQL API that supports x402 payments, enabling AI agents to autonomously access on-chain data

On February 13th, Coinbase’s Developer Platform (CDP) launched an SQL API supporting x402 payments—enabling AI agents to access Base’s indexed data (blocks, transactions, token transfers, decoded events) on demand, with no API key, account registration, or manual intervention required. Each SQL query costs a flat $0.10, settled instantly on-chain via USDC.

DeFiance CEO: Crypto Venture Capital Model is Dead, Future Will Only Invest in Cash-Flow Businesses

On February 13th, DeFiance Capital CEO Arthur posted on Medium, highlighting a full transformation in the cryptocurrency market: shifting from a venture capital-backed, growth-focused valuation system to a cash flow-centric model—framing this as the most reliable path to deliver substantial returns for investors. “VC-style crypto is dead; cash flow-style crypto is eternal,” Arthur wrote. “All future projects I invest in must be pure cash flow businesses—able to recoup all invested capital within 6 to 12 months and deliver a 3x to 5x return solely from cash flow. Projects relying solely on hyped growth narratives will no longer work.” He added that investors who haven’t grasped this shift will only continue to drain capital endlessly.
