Stablecoins

Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a stable reserve, such as the US Dollar or Gold, to minimize price volatility. Serving as the primary medium of exchange in Web3, tokens like USDT, USDC, and PYUSD facilitate global payments and DeFi liquidity. In 2026, the focus has shifted toward yield-bearing stablecoins and compliant stablecoin frameworks under global regulations like MiCA. This tag covers the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto through stable on-chain liquidity solutions.

Hong Kong-Based OSL Group Secures $300M Equity Raise Amid Surging Crypto Investor Demand

Hong Kong-Based OSL Group Secures $300M Equity Raise Amid Surging Crypto Investor Demand

OSL Group, one of Asia’s leading digital asset platforms, has raised $300 million through an equity financing round, marking the largest publicly disclosed capital raise in the region’s crypto space to date. Key Takeaways: OSL Group raised $300 million in Asia’s largest disclosed crypto equity deal to date. Funds will support stablecoin infrastructure, global licensing, and payment network expansion. The share sale was priced at a 15.3% discount, triggering a 10% drop at Friday’s open. The announcement comes just ahead of Hong Kong’s new stablecoin legislation, which takes effect on August 1. The firm, listed under ticker 0863.HK, said proceeds from the deal will fund global expansion efforts, including the development of regulated stablecoin infrastructure, licensing in new jurisdictions, and the launch of a compliant digital payments network. OSL Prices $300M Share Sale at 15% Discount to Market The fundraising deal priced shares at HK$14.90, reflecting a 15.3% discount from Thursday’s close. Shares of OSL opened more than 10% lower on Friday, reacting to the dilution and discounted placement price. Still, the stock is up 120% year-to-date. “The funding will accelerate our global build-out — particularly in regulated stablecoin infrastructure and compliant payment rails,” said Ivan Wong, CFO of OSL Group. The raise comes amid a surge in investor interest in crypto-related equities, despite warnings from Hong Kong’s monetary authority earlier this week about “excessive exuberance” around stablecoins. OSL, which pivoted fully into digital assets in 2023, has been aggressively expanding. It now holds an exchange license in Australia and has completed acquisitions in Japan and Europe. OSL Group (HKEX: 863) has successfully completed a US$300 million equity raise — the largest public equity financing in Asia’s digital asset sector to date. According to OSL CFO Ivan Wong, this milestone reflects strong investor confidence in OSL’s strategy and will further… pic.twitter.com/IEugUVoIc6 — OSL (@osldotcom) July 25, 2025 The company is also investing in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, converting traditional instruments like bonds and equities into digital tokens. The stablecoin bill’s imminent implementation has positioned Hong Kong as a key player in the global race to regulate and attract institutional stablecoin activity. Last year, OSL Digital Securities introduced Toncoin ( TON ) into its over-the-counter (OTC) trading services to extend its offers to professional investors. In 2023, Interactive Brokers, an automated global electronic broker, expanded cryptocurrency trading for retail clients in Hong Kong in collaboration with OSL. Hong Kong Announces New Digital Asset Policy Hong Kong has unveiled its second major policy statement on digital assets, placing stablecoin regulation and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization at the core of its strategy to become a global fintech hub. The new “LEAP” framework focuses on legal clarity, ecosystem growth, real-world adoption, and talent development, with a stablecoin licensing regime set to launch on August 1. The government also plans to regulate tokenized government bonds and ETFs, paving the way for secondary market trading of these products on licensed digital asset platforms. It aims to expand tokenization efforts into sectors like metals and renewable energy, highlighting use cases such as gold and solar panels. As reported, professionals working in the crypto and hedge fund sectors are playing a key role in supporting Hong Kong’s residential rental market , which continues to struggle due to weak traditional demand sources.

At the same time, it encourages financial technology innovation and gradually incorporates stablecoins into the mainstream payment system.

GameSquare CryptoPunk NFT Bet: $5.15M Cowboy Ape Deal Brings Leshner Onboard

GameSquare CryptoPunk NFT Bet: $5.15M Cowboy Ape Deal Brings Leshner Onboard

GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GAME), a media and tech firm focused on Web3, has made a bold move into the world of digital collectibles with a new purchase. GameSquare has acquired the iconic Cowboy Ape #5577 CryptoPunk from DeFi pioneer @rleshner in a $5.15M strategic investment. We also added $10M of ETH to our treasury, bringing total Ethereum treasury holdings to over $52 million. pic.twitter.com/U2LFaPqECm — GameSquare Holdings Inc. (@GSQHoldings) July 24, 2025 In a press release shared with CryptoNews, the firm said it has purchased a rare “Cowboy Ape” CryptoPunk non-fungible token (NFT) from Robert Leshner, founder of Compound and CEO of Superstate. In exchange, GameSquare issued $5.15 million in preferred stock convertible into approximately 3.4 million shares at $1.50 per share. The acquisition marks GameSquare’s first direct NFT investment and is in line with its strategy to build a blockchain-native brand and generate treasury yield through digital assets. CEO Justin Kenna described the Punk as a “grail” investment and emphasized the company’s growing interest in on-chain finance. Alongside the transaction, Leshner has joined GameSquare as a shareholder, bringing his experience in decentralized finance to the table. What Is a CryptoPunk? CryptoPunks are among the earliest NFT collections created on the Ethereum blockchain. Launched in 2017 by software developers Larva Labs, the series includes 10,000 pixelated characters with varying traits. Of these, only 24 are “Ape” Punks—making them among the rarest. The Cowboy Ape (#5577), now part of GameSquare’s treasury, is widely regarded as a standout in the collection. Collectors often view CryptoPunks as digital artifacts that reflect early internet history and the rise of online identity. Building Yield Through NFTs and ETH GameSquare’s NFT purchase is part of its treasury strategy, which seeks to generate 6%–10% returns annually by using stablecoins and other digital assets. The Cowboy Ape will be used in community activations, marketing campaigns, and potential licensing deals, blending culture with capital allocation. GameSquare said it has partnered with 1OF1 AG, led by Web3 investor Ryan Zurrer, to manage the NFT yield program. The firm will also hold the asset and oversee yield generation efforts. GameSquare said it recently purchased $10 million worth of Ethereum—about 2,742.75 ETH at an average price of $3,646. This adds to a growing ETH position now valued at approximately 12,913.49 ETH. The company has invested a total of $45 million in ETH under its $250 million crypto treasury authorization. NFT Market Cap Jumps 21% to $6.3B Overnight The NFT market roared to life on Monday, jumping more than 20% in a single day, with total market cap rising from $5.1 billion to $6.3 billion . After months of stagnation, renewed interest in Ethereum-based collections appears to be driving the sudden revival. A major catalyst came in the form of a high-profile CryptoPunk sweep . According to on-chain data from Lookonchain, a newly created wallet, 0x1bb3, spent 2,082 ETH, or about $5.87 million, to purchase 45 CryptoPunk NFTs within hours. The transaction lit up OpenSea, where the walle t now holds assets valued at over 1,700 ETH, or roughly $6.5 million. $GAME Price Action As of 12:00 p.m. EDT on July 24, shares of GameSquare Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GAME) traded at $1.32, marking a 3.94% increase on the day. The stock opened at $1.33, reached a high of $1.44, and dipped to a low of $1.26 during early trading. This intraday movement follows the company’s announcement of the CryptoPunk #5577 acquisition and the onboarding of Leshner as a shareholder, news that appears to have sparked renewed investor interest. GameSquare currently holds a market capitalization of approximately $125.2 million, with a 52-week trading range between $0.50 and $2.87.
