NEW YORK, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amid increasingly clear global regulatory frameworks for stablecoins, the asset class is moving beyond its experimental phase and entering a period of institutionalized growth. Mega Matrix Corp. (NYSE American: MPU) recently announced the completion of a $16 million private placement and officially launched its strategic expansion into the stablecoin sector. This marks a critical step in the Company’s transformation into a structured participant in the evolving global digital financial infrastructure.

The private placement attracted a number of crypto-focused funds and industry professionals, reflecting strong market recognition of and confidence in Mega Matrix’s strategic direction. According to the Company, the proceeds will be primarily used to build a stablecoin asset allocation system and on-chain yield mechanisms, with a focus on developing “corporate treasury strategies” leveraging stablecoins and governance tokens.

In fact, the corporate treasury strategy is becoming a key asset allocation method among technology and crypto companies. One group, represented by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), has adopted Bitcoin as its core reserve asset, maintaining long-term holdings and actively increasing exposure—a strategy mirrored by companies like Marathon Digital (NASDAQ: MARA). Another group is turning to Ethereum as a treasury asset, with notable examples including SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET) and Bit Digital (NASDAQ: BTBT). These companies leverage Ethereum‘s composability and ecosystem synergies to construct new liquidity infrastructure.

Compared with other digital assets, stablecoins offer low volatility, on-chain yield potential, and stronger regulatory compatibility—making them rapidly emerge as the next generation of “treasury assets.” Their global liquidity and auditability make them well-suited for diverse capital management scenarios and increasingly attractive to institutional participants.

“Stablecoins are emerging as the foundational anchor of the digital financial system,” said Songtao Jia, Chief Strategy Officer of Mega Matrix. “We anticipate that the next wave of growth in digital assets will be driven by treasury strategies centered on stablecoins. In today’s interest rate environment, stablecoins capable of generating reliable on-chain yields represent an extremely scarce and valuable class of assets.”

Mega Matrix has already initiated allocation into mainstream stablecoins and governance tokens, and is in active discussions with several globally leading stablecoin issuers. The collaboration is expected to cover areas such as asset allocation and integration of on-chain yield mechanisms.

From Bitcoin as “digital gold,” to Ethereum as the “smart asset protocol,” stablecoins are now becoming the new cornerstone of enterprise digital asset allocation. Mega Matrix’s transformation may signal the beginning of a broader institutional embrace of yield-generating, transparent, and composable on-chain financial tools.

DUBAI, UAE, July 25, 2025 /CNW/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced a strategic partnership with Tether, the leading company in the digital asset industry and issuer of USD?, the most widely used stablecoin. The collaboration aims to boost cryptocurrency adoption across Brazil through institutional partnerships, major event sponsorships, and expansive educational initiatives.

A highlight of the partnership is the co-sponsorship of Blockchain Rio, one of Latin America’s most influential blockchain conferences. During the event, new users who register on Bybit’s platform will receive an exclusive USD? bonus. This incentive is designed to encourage first-time users to engage with the digital asset ecosystem.

To extend the partnership’s reach into real-world applications, Bybit and Tether are in advanced discussions with Visit Rio. The goal is to integrate cryptocurrency into the city’s tourism sector by offering discounts and USD? bonuses to tourists who use digital assets for services, tours, and purchases from local businesses. This initiative is intended to position Rio as a forward-thinking, crypto-friendly destination.

As part of its long-term strategy, Bybit will roll out a national educational program to increase crypto literacy and drive responsible adoption. The initiative includes a series of “Learn to Earn” campaigns that reward users for completing blockchain-focused courses. These will be complemented by in-person events such as workshops, university meetups, and seminars, engaging directly with students, developers, and entrepreneurs.

Earlier this year, Bybit appointed Israel Buzaym as its Country Manager for Brazil. Since then, the company has significantly expanded its local presence and launched tailored offerings such as Bybit Pay and the Bybit Card. These products are helping to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the world of digital assets.

“I’m honored to lead Bybit’s efforts in Brazil at such a transformative time,” said Israel Buzaym. “Brazilians have a long history of embracing innovation. We’re already seeing strong momentum in the adoption of our services. This partnership with Tether adds the trust, liquidity, and strategic focus needed to make crypto a natural part of everyday life for millions.”

With a market capitalization exceeding $114 billion, Tether plays a central role in the global digital economy. This partnership with Bybit reflects a shared commitment to financial innovation, education, and the creation of practical use cases for cryptocurrency in one of the world’s most promising emerging markets.

DUBAI, UAE, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is reporting significant progress in its strategic partnership with EthicHub, a project supported by Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), focused on improving financial inclusion and market access for small holder coffee farmers.

During ETHCC week in Paris, Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit met with EthicHub co-founders Jori Armbruster and Gabriela Chang Valdovinos to review the impact of Bybit’s $1 million liquidity investment, announced earlier this year. The collaboration aims to empower rural communities through decentralized finance and sustainable trade opportunities.

Driving Growth Through Blockchain Solutions

Bybit’s $1 million liquidity investment is already fueling measurable results. To date, EthicHub has facilitated more than $5 million in loans across its network, maintaining a default rate below 3 percent, fully covered to protect lenders. The platform has also enabled the sale of over 300 tons of coffee, generating more than $2 million in revenue, and directly supporting more than 10.000 coffee farmers in LATAM.

So far, 40 percent of Bybit’s investment has been deployed in two high-impact projects:

• Cosechando Riqueza (Chiapas, Mexico): supported 25 families cultivating 70 hectares of high-quality coffee, promoting agroforestry in regions historically affected by violence.
• Costal Campesino (Cauca and Nariño, Colombia): helped 22 families producing “Café de Paz,” or Peace Coffee — a sustainable alternative for former guerrilla fighters transitioning from coca cultivation to coffee farming.

Coffees from these projects are expected to reach European markets starting in August, with a projected increase in sales beginning in September. Shipments of these coffees to Europe are scheduled to begin in August, with sales projected to reach approximately $1.3 million in the months ahead.

“EthicHub’s model is a powerful example of how blockchain technology can create real economic opportunities and resilience for farming communities that have long been underserved,” said Freya Chen, Executive Director at the Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA). “The results we’re seeing — millions in loans, strong repayment rates, and growing coffee sales — prove that decentralized finance can deliver measurable benefits on the ground.”

As the cryptocurrency market shifts into a new phase, the spotlight is turning toward Ethereum (ETH). According to Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz, Ethereum may soon outperform Bitcoin (BTC), marking a major shift in investor sentiment. The term Ethereum bull run is no longer just hype—it’s gaining traction with institutions and analysts alike.

Ethereum Gathers Steam

In a recent CNBC interview, Novogratz explained why he believes Ethereum is poised to outpace Bitcoin over the next three to six months. A key reason is ETH’s limited float—fewer coins available to trade—as well as mounting institutional interest. If Ethereum breaks above the psychological barrier of $4,000, he argues, it could enter what traders call “price discovery,” potentially accelerating toward new highs.

Currently trading around $3,700, Ethereum still sits about 25% below its all-time high of $4,800 reached in 2021. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has already surpassed previous records this cycle, topping $123,000. But despite this lead, Novogratz sees ETH narrowing the gap rapidly.

Institutions Eye Ethereum

The Ethereum bull run is being fueled by institutional moves. Companies such as SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ:SBET) and BitMine Immersion Technologies (OTC:BMNR) are reportedly adding ETH to their corporate treasuries. This echoes early Bitcoin strategies by firms like Tesla and MicroStrategy, and it reflects a broader shift in how Ethereum is perceived.

Moreover, optimism around Ethereum spot ETFs is adding fuel to the fire. Novogratz notes that ETFs are a major gateway for institutional money, and Ethereum is now getting the kind of attention that was once exclusively reserved for Bitcoin.

Galaxy Digital’s Strategic Pivot?

Speculation is swirling about Galaxy Digital’s latest move. The firm recently shifted Bitcoin holdings tied to a Satoshi-era wallet to various exchanges. While the transaction raised eyebrows, some observers believe it signals a potential reallocation into Ethereum.

Though Galaxy has not confirmed a large-scale ETH buy, Novogratz’s public comments suggest growing confidence in Ethereum’s trajectory. “You’re seeing institutions getting interested in Ethereum just like they did with Bitcoin,” he said. “You combine that with limited float, and it’s a powder keg.”

ETH vs BTC: Not a Price Race, But a Percentage Game

Novogratz isn’t claiming that Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin in price per coin—that remains unlikely given BTC’s smaller supply. Instead, his bet is on percentage gains. With ETH trading at a fraction of Bitcoin’s price, smaller moves yield larger returns. That’s especially compelling for investors looking for short- to mid-term growth.

Recent market data supports this view. Ethereum has overtaken Bitcoin in trading volume on several major exchanges. It has also led ETF inflows over the past few weeks, suggesting growing confidence from both retail and institutional investors.

Ethereum Bull Run: What to Watch

As Ethereum edges closer to the $4,000 mark, all eyes are on whether it can sustain momentum and spark the next leg of this Ethereum bull run. For investors, the key indicators include:

• ETF approval developments in the U.S.

• Institutional wallet activity

• Trading volume vs. Bitcoin

• Technical breakouts above $4,000

If these elements align, Ethereum could not only match Bitcoin’s growth—it might lead the crypto charge into the next market cycle.

In the words of Mike Novogratz, “This could be Ethereum’s moment.”

For long-term investors, this moment could present a unique entry point before broader institutional adoption fully materializes. As Ethereum’s ecosystem continues to mature—with scaling solutions like Layer 2 networks, enterprise integration, and increasing developer activity—its use cases extend far beyond just a store of value. Decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and smart contracts remain Ethereum’s strongest value drivers, setting it apart from Bitcoin. If the Ethereum bull run continues, it could redefine portfolio strategies for both retail and professional investors. Whether you’re a crypto veteran or new to the space, keeping Ethereum on your radar may prove to be a wise move.
