Japan continues pushing stablecoins into the mainstream as JCB, the country's largest card network, partners with Circleto explore USDC for cross-border payments and merchant transactions. Matt also covers CleanSpark's $6.6 billion data center lease, Coinbase Ventures remaining the most active crypto investor of 2026, and why stablecoin adoption continues accelerating around the world.


The episode also examines the latest fight over the Clarity Act, as banking groups push Congress to block stablecoin rewards while law enforcement throws its support behind the legislation. Matt wraps up with the U.S. government's $288 million crypto transfer to Coinbase Prime, slowing Bitcoin ETF trading volumes, and why Japan continues to focus on building real-world crypto infrastructure while much of the U.S. debate remains centered on regulation.


Happy Hodling, Everyone.
