Coinbase and Circle are poised to become major beneficiaries of the growing stablecoin market through their USDC partnership, Bernstein said in a report. According to Cointelegraph, Bernstein suggested that USDC's high liquidity and regulatory compliance could give it an edge in the AI payments market. The report noted that stablecoin growth is already being driven by demand for cross-border payments, remittances, card-linked services, and internet banking, describing AI payments as an additional upside factor rather than a core driver. However, Bernstein characterized AI payments as a long-term growth opportunity with limited current adoption. The report added that Stripe and Tempo's AI payment protocol processed around $5,000 in its first week, while Coinbase's x402 handled approximately $24 million over the last 30 days.

Brazil's new finance minister, Dario Durigan, who took office on March 20, is expected to postpone a public consultation on applying a financial transaction tax (IOF) to certain cryptocurrency trades, CoinDesk reported, citing Reuters. The decision is reportedly aimed at avoiding contentious tax discussions with Congress ahead of the presidential election this October. The debate is based on a draft proposal that would classify some crypto transactions as foreign exchange deals, potentially subjecting them to a tax rate of up to 3.5%. However, industry groups have argued that taxing stablecoins as foreign currency may be unconstitutional. The discussions gained momentum after the country's central bank included some stablecoin activities under its foreign exchange regulations.

Digital asset investment products saw a total net inflow of $230 million last week, marking the fourth consecutive week of inflows, according to the latest weekly fund flow report from CoinShares.

Additionally, Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) also recorded net inflows. By country, the United States led the inflows.

The firm noted that while strong inflows were observed at the beginning of the week, outflows occurred following the FOMC announcement.

Israel has launched additional airstrikes in Tehran, the capital of Iran, according to multiple media outlets.

Tasnim, a news agency affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, emphasized that President Donald Trump has withdrawn a plan to attack Iranian energy facilities because Iran's military threats became credible. The agency added that pressure on financial markets and rising sovereign debt risks in the U.S. and the West were also key factors in the decision. While messages from the U.S. have been relayed through intermediaries since the outbreak of hostilities, Iran has clarified its commitment to maintaining its defense.

Controversy is growing over South Korea's planned cryptocurrency tax, set to take effect next year, the Seoul Shinmun reported. The media outlet pointed to discrepancies in tax standards across different asset classes, fairness concerns compared to untaxed domestic stocks, and a lack of institutional readiness as key issues. An industry insider noted that tax standards for various transaction types—such as collateralized lending, use of overseas exchanges, and peer-to-peer wallet transfers—remain unclear. The source added that while domestic exchange activity can be tracked, capturing overseas transactions is structurally difficult. Kang Hyung-koo, a professor of finance and management at Hanyang University, argued that system design is more important than the tax rate itself. He suggested that the government should first define the characteristics and transaction structures of virtual assets before refining the tax framework. Kang also warned that classifying crypto gains as "other income" would create a significant administrative burden and could lead to market contraction, similar to what occurred in Japan.
