In @ARKInvest’s view, stablecoins are monetary networks with effects that compound over time, thanks to trust, collateral utility, and integrations. The network effects of USDT and USDC have been powerful. @LorenzoARK explains convincingly why OUSD is unlikely to displace them.
Don't look at price... Try to move with big guy🙂
Large Holder cohorts (1k–10k & 10k BTC wallets) have turned to net buyers, albeit with less intensity than earlier in the cycle.
Historically, periods where accumulation becomes widespread across wallet sizes have often provided a constructive foundation for longer-term market recoveries, although confirmation through sustained buying remains key....

OUSD won't kill @USDC /@tether overnight — but the consortium excluding both issuers is the real signal.
Open USD (OUSD) launched this week backed by 140+ firms — Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Stripe, Coinbase. Notably: Circle and Tether are NOT part of it. $CRCL dropped ~13-16% on the news.
A few things worth separating from the noise:
1. @Visa & @Mastercard aren't choosing sides — they're in both Circle's Arc L1 testnet AND the OUSD consortium. Institutions are hedging, not defecting. Also, most traditional institutions may use Arc https://t.co/PnL97bKFbV to settle their stablecoin transactions based on Circle's current compliance standard environment
2. USDT + USDC still command ~85%+ combined market share (https://t.co/HcmLH9VZz1). That kind of liquidity and retail habit on @coinbase , exchanges, @Polymarket and offshore trading isn't displaced by an announcement — it takes years, if it happens at all.
3. OUSD's real edge is the shared-yield model for institutions, not retail displacement. Best case, it becomes the bank/treasury settlement layer while USDC/USDT keep retail and trading flow.
Ironically, Coinbase — which shares USDC revenue with Circle — is also an OUSD backer. That's the tension to watch, not "OUSD replaces USDC."
$CRCL $COIN — not financial advice, DYOR.

I switched from #VOO to #TOPT because a large portion of the S&P 500’s returns comes from its top-performing companies.
Higher volatility doesn’t bother me — time and compounding are the real force multipliers.
