Coinbase is reviving its Stablecoin Bootstrap Fund to enhance stablecoin liquidity in decentralized finance (DeFi) markets, initially deploying funds in USDC and EURC on platforms like Aave, Morpho, Kamino, and Jupiter. This initiative aims to support both established and emerging protocols as the DeFi sector continues to grow, despite remaining below its 2021 peak.

Circle has selected Safe as its premier institutional storage solution for the USDC stablecoin, enhancing USDC's role in DeFi and institutional treasury management. Safe, a multisig platform, secures over $60 billion in digital assets and aims to position USDC at the core of its ecosystem. The partnership responds to the growing demand for secure digital dollars in institutional finance.
