🍰 Open Standard Wants a Piece of Circle's Pie. Nu Ghosts Monzo. Stripe Adds Parafin to the Cart.

Coinbase, Mastercard, Visa and Stripe just launched a stablecoin while still backing USDC, so we break down who's actually winning that pie. Then we cover Nubank's reported Monzo denial and what a 10% gut check from shareholders tells you about big-swing M&A. We finish with Stripe's Parafin deal and why a private company keeps buying everything in sight.
