PANews reported on October 2nd that Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter published an article on the X platform today, stating that the "duopoly" in the stablecoin market is coming to an end. DefiLlama data shows that although the market capitalization of Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC) continues to grow, their combined market share has declined from a peak of 91.6% in March 2024 to approximately 84% currently. Carter believes that the main reason for the decline in market share is competition from emerging stablecoins, especially the rise of interest-bearing stablecoins. He called Ethena's USDe "the biggest success story of the year," with its supply soaring to $14.7 billion. Carter also predicts that as regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe, and elsewhere become clearer (e.g., the GENIUS Act and MiCA), banks and traditional financial institutions will inevitably enter the stablecoin market. He believes that a consortium of multiple banks will be best positioned to create a stablecoin that can compete with Tether.PANews reported on October 2nd that Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter published an article on the X platform today, stating that the "duopoly" in the stablecoin market is coming to an end.

(Photo by Brendan Ross/Vanderbilt University/University Images via Getty Images) University Images via Getty Images No player moves the college football betting line quite like the quarterback. The best can be worth more than a touchdown compared to the backup, and here’s a look at some of the notable Power 4 QB depth chart and injury updates heading into Week 4. Garrett Nussmeier LSU Tigers QB Garrett Nussmeier has been slowed by a torso injury, head coach Brian Kelly said. He does not appear to be in any danger of missing Saturday’s game against Southeastern Louisiana, but the Tigers should be able to cruise with or without Nussmeier. After tough games against the Clemson Tigers and Florida Gators already, this could be a great opportunity to limit his workload if LSU builds a big lead. If that happens, look for Mississippi State transfer Michael Van Buren to make his Tigers debut. Austin Simmons Ole Miss Rebels QB Austin Simmons reaggravated his left ankle injury in last weekend’s win over the Arkansas Razorbacks. He originally suffered the injury the previous game and did not start but entered when backup Trinidad Chambliss briefly exited. Head coach Lane Kiffin said he anticipates Simmons will start on Saturday against Tulane. If not, Chambliss is likely in line for his second consecutive start. LaNorris Sellers South Carolina Gamecocks QB LaNorris Sellers is listed as questionable on the SEC Availability Report heading into Saturday’s road matchup against the Missouri Tigers. Head coach Shane Beamer declined to say whether he suffered a concussion last weekend against the Vanderbilt Commodores but said he’s optimistic Sellers…
