This funding comes amid growing stablecoin regulation in the U.S. and increasing demand for crypto conduits in traditional finance. M0’s platform, which has surpassed $300 million in aggregate supply, will support MetaMask’s mUSD stablecoin debut on Ethereum and Linea later this year, positioning M0 as a critical infrastructure layer for the next generation of fintech products.

CoinDCX CEO Sumit Gupta has refuted claims of a potential $900 million acquisition by Coinbase, calling them baseless rumors. The denial comes after an Indian news outlet reported advanced discussions between the two exchanges, citing anonymous sources. Gupta emphasized CoinDCX’s commitment to India’s crypto ecosystem, despite recent challenges including a $44 million security breach. The exchange, India’s first crypto unicorn, faced regulatory pressures in the past but remains backed by major investors like Coinbase Ventures. Meanwhile, Coinbase, which exited India in 2023 due to regulatory issues, recently re-registered to operate under local rules. The alleged acquisition was seen as a strategic move for Coinbase to re-enter the Indian market. Separately, CoinDCX is recovering from a $44 million hack, with efforts underway to trace and recover stolen funds.

Dogecoin’s derivatives market is experiencing a significant uptick, with trading volume soaring to $2.59 billion and open interest rising modestly. The options market has also seen explosive growth, with volume up 139%. However, spot markets tell a different story, as exchanges like Binance and OKX report substantial DOGE outflows, suggesting holders may be shifting to cold storage. This divergence hints at either caution or long-term bullishness among investors. Additionally, Dogecoin’s ecosystem is expanding, with projects like DogeOS securing $6.9 million in funding and traditional finance entities like Frankenmuth Credit Union integrating DOGE. The potential for a DOGE ETF further underscores its growing legitimacy. Currently trading at $0.1727, DOGE remains active with $865 million in daily volume.
