Coinbase’s USDC Boom: From Side Hustle to Money-Printing Machine?

by

In 2025, Coinbase raked in $1.35 billion from stablecoins, which is 19% of their total revenue. That’s right, they’re basically the cool kid at the crypto party, and USDC is their +1. Thanks to their BFF partnership with Circle, the issuer of USDC, they’re swimming in high-margin cash. And now that the GENIUS Act is here (yes, that’s an actual law, not a Marvel movie), the party’s just getting started. Coinbase execs are like, “Watch us multiply this revenue by two to seven times. Boom.”

Marshals Review: Luke Grimes Can’t Save This Soulless Yellowstone Spinoff

by

Honestly, the 6666 spinoff just feels…flat. Luke Grimes is a great actor – he really nails that mix of vulnerability and toughness in Kayce – but even he can’t save a storyline that feels pretty tapped out. It’s become this basic procedural about U.S. Marshals chasing bad guys in Montana, and Kayce is just…there. To try and force him into this expanding Yellowstone universe, the show is taking some really strange turns with his character and the people around him. It’s doing everything the Yellowstone finale tried so hard not to do with the prodigal son – it’s completely undermining what made Kayce special.

Vanderpump Rules Season-Finale Recap: Pride Before the Fall

by

The Pride celebration is hitting a snag – it’s attracting too many straight people. Venus is organizing the event, and Natalie is creating the drinks. She’s made a bright blue cocktail and wants to name it “Aquamarine,” which feels like something a stereotypical, overly-spiritual straight woman would suggest. This isn’t a mainstream music festival; it’s Pride. Marcus jokingly claims to be “10 percent gay,” which raises a ridiculous question about what that even means. He suggests naming the drink “Blue Balls,” arguing his limited gayness somehow qualifies him, but even that name is a bad idea – nobody wants to be reminded of that at Pride! If someone wanted that imagery, they could easily find it elsewhere online. Venus then proposes “Butt Slut” as the drink’s name, and everyone agrees it’s perfect. That’s what Pride is all about: silly drinks, over-the-top sexuality, hookups, and finding glitter in unexpected places for months to come.
