Bankless has been looking past the usual “partnership announcement” narrative and instead focused on what the new Hyperliquid (HYPE), Coinbase (COIN), and Circle (CRCL) deal could realistically change for USDC.

XRP is struggling below resistance as selling pressure weighs on a price that has retreated from the $1.45 level that briefly offered hope of a sustained recovery.
