Source: Insider Insiders: Visa, Mastercard in Talks with Stripe, Coinbase on Stablecoin Platform Partnership

2026.06.08 19:34:41

NEW YORK, June 8 (Fortune) — Visa and Mastercard are in active talks with companies including Stripe, Coinbase, and potential additional players to form a stablecoin alliance and launch a dedicated new stablecoin platform, per sources familiar with the matter cited by Fortune. If the partnership is finalized, it would deliver a major shakeup to the $300 billion-plus global stablecoin market. Leveraging Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe’s massive reach in worldwide retail payments, the new platform aims to drive wider adoption of stablecoins for everyday transactions. Industry observers are closely tracking how the plan will impact Circle. Right now, Circle’s USDC dominates the regulated stablecoin market in North America and Europe. Insiders note that Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, or all three could use the alliance to push merchants to adopt their own stablecoins, unlocking new revenue streams like reserve interest earnings. For Coinbase, it’s continuing to reap benefits from its 2023 deal with Circle, which grants it the majority of USDC’s reserve interest, while Circle handles core operational and regulatory tasks. But since the two sides may renegotiate their partnership terms down the line, Coinbase is eyeing new opportunities via fresh stablecoin collaborations. As of now, no formal agreement has been reached among the involved companies—some haven’t even signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), sources add. Talks remain in the very early stages, and analysts point to steep hurdles for this cross-industry alliance: complex coordination between players, existing competitive tensions, and potential antitrust scrutiny. That means any launch timeline is likely months away, and there’s no guarantee the project will actually move forward as planned.

Jiang Zhuoer: The CLARITY Act has only a 10% to 20% chance of passing, with major disagreements on ethical provisions persisting between the two parties.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP, stated in a post that the Clarity Act has only a 10% to 20% chance of passing, with major disagreements persisting solely on its ethics provisions. The proposal agreed by Trump only restricts the president and their spouse from engaging in crypto asset issuance, while Democrats demand including other family members and family entities in the restrictions. The two sides also failed to reach an agreement on law enforcement authority: Trump supports the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) being responsible for prosecuting violations, but Democrats argue the Attorney General is appointed by the president and demand granting state attorneys general the right to prosecute as well. Jiang believes that fully accepting the Democrats’ proposed restrictions would leave Trump with little incentive to sign the bill. Apart from the ethics provisions, multiple disagreements also exist in other parts of the legislation. The U.S. Congress will adjourn on August 7, with only around 10 working days remaining, leaving the procedural timeline extremely tight and making it difficult to bridge major divides before adjournment. He added that Congress’s session from September 14 to October 5 falls near the midterm elections, and lawmakers must also handle budget and appropriations agendas, with even a potential government shutdown risk. Democrats also lack the political incentive to push the bill through before the elections.
