PANews reported on October 2nd that Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter published an article on the X platform today, stating that the "duopoly" in the stablecoin market is coming to an end. DefiLlama data shows that although the market capitalization of Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC) continues to grow, their combined market share has declined from a peak of 91.6% in March 2024 to approximately 84% currently. Carter believes that the main reason for the decline in market share is competition from emerging stablecoins, especially the rise of interest-bearing stablecoins. He called Ethena's USDe "the biggest success story of the year," with its supply soaring to $14.7 billion. Carter also predicts that as regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe, and elsewhere become clearer (e.g., the GENIUS Act and MiCA), banks and traditional financial institutions will inevitably enter the stablecoin market. He believes that a consortium of multiple banks will be best positioned to create a stablecoin that can compete with Tether.PANews reported on October 2nd that Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter published an article on the X platform today, stating that the "duopoly" in the stablecoin market is coming to an end.

Vietnam's central bank expects credit growth to drive liquidity into cryptocurrency markets
PANews reported on October 4th that Cointelegraph, citing Reuters, reported that the State Bank of Vietnam (Bank of Vietnam) expects credit growth to reach around 20% in 2025. With the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies in the region, this move could lead to liquidity flowing into the global cryptocurrency market. Pham Thanh Ha, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Vietnam, said on Friday that further interest rate cuts are needed to promote economic growth and ease the uncertainty brought about by the US tariff increase. Vietnam’s government legalized cryptocurrencies in June as part of a broader tech regulatory initiative that categorized cryptocurrencies into virtual assets representing tokenized real-world products and crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ether. However, under the new cryptocurrency regulations and its five-year sandbox pilot program, which launched in September, the government prohibits the issuance of on-chain fiat-backed assets, including stablecoins and securities.
