AI systems make decisions every day on data that can't be verified.

Blockchain provides the infrastructure to change that. The Cardano Academy course on Coursera, built with the @blockchainRI, covers how.

$ADA has been classified as a digital commodity by the SEC and CFTC.

A meaningful development for the Cardano ecosystem and for the broader digital asset industry.

[Cardano YOD₳ @JaromirTesar]

USDC might be better for Cardano than USDCx, but it’s certainly a good start.

USDC is a fiat-backed stablecoin that is widely recognized, liquid, and supported across wallets, exchanges, and protocols.

It’s natively issued on over 30 blockchains (mostly EVM chains) with a supply of $70B.

USDCx is a derivative/wrapper of USDC.

USDCx is a Circle-issued, 1:1 USDC-backed variant that enables USDC functionality on chains where canonical USDC is not yet available, such as Cardano.

USDCx incorporates ZK proofs for banking-level privacy in transactions, shielding details while remaining compliant.

Standard USDC lacks this built-in privacy.

USDC is globally understood and adopted. It is the second most widely used stablecoin after USDT (with a supply of $185B).

USDCx will require extra explanation to users and extra steps for integration. It may be more difficult to bootstrap liquidity.

USDCx does not require third-party bridges for deployment on Cardano.

It's directly backed 1:1 by USDC reserves held in Circle's xReserve smart contracts. xReserve is a protocol deployed and managed by Circle.

USDCx will be a Cardano Native Token but functions as a 1:1 representation of USDC.

The great thing is that, unlike some USDC implementations, USDCx cannot be frozen by Circle, aligning with Cardano's principles.

USDCx isn't widely listed on CEXs yet, so direct deposits and withdrawals might be limited. Moreover, support for CNTs is also limited.

However, it will be possible to hold USDCx on Cardano and deposit USDC on CEXs through a web application (or perhaps wallet integration) that will convert USDCx to USDC in the background. It will work in one click.

If I understand correctly, minting will be done by users depositing USDC into the xReserve contract on the source chain. This triggers minting of an equivalent amount of USDCx on Cardano via Circle's attestation service.

Burning and redemption will be done analogously. First, USDCx is burned on Cardano. Then xReserve releases the backing USDC on the source chain after verification.

For the record, the supply overview of Cardano stablecoins:

- USDM: 14.4M
- USDA: 11.7M

The success of the USDCx integration will depend primarily on liquidity.

The active proposal requesting 50M ADA to inject stablecoins into Cardano DeFi should consider USDCx.

The team should probably ask the community and DReps which stablecoin they want to support.

Given the current low price of ADA, it is necessary to think about how many stablecoins to support.

I estimate that currently, only about $10M worth of stablecoins could be minted. Market conditions may change. This is a challenge.

I am glad that Pentad delivered.

The specific terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, so I do not know whether native USDC could have been delivered or whether USDCx represents the most feasible option.

Congratulations to the Pentad team on this deal.

Understanding blockchain starts with language. 📘

We just launched a new Cardano and blockchain Glossary, a clear A–Z reference for terms used across the ecosystem and beyond.

Built for anyone looking to understand the space better.

We're almost there! Cardano will soon have a fully functional governance.

DReps and SPOs have approved the addition of a new member to the CC.

Crypto will win if we build meaningful partnerships. Tribalism has gotten us nowhere. It’s time to change strategy.

Bitcoiners will love DeFi on Cardano.

[Cardano Foundation @Cardano_CF]

We've upgraded our open-source voting tool. 🛠️

New features include:
• Multi-voting in a single transaction
• New 'past votes' view
• New options for storing your rationale

These upgrades make governance on Cardano more cost-effective, informative, and user-friendly.

[Cardano YOD₳ @JaromirTesar]

Cardano does not have an unstake queue. Liquid staking allows you to sell ADA at any time.
