The March 2020 report stated that the coin’s reserves were held at federally insured U.S. depository institutions. But, in April 2020, it was changed to clarify that the reserves could also be held in “approved investments\" with no further detail.\nWhat Else: Circle intends to go public later this year in a merger with a special purpose acquisition company at a $4.5 billion valuation.\nThe payment company was purportedly investing in building its profits ahead of this operation and described investing its reserves as one of the “fundamentals of our financial model\" during an investor presentation.\nUSD Coin's reserve closely resembles money-market mutual funds, but Circle does not pay a yield to investors, which is more than enough to make it worthwhile even when considering that it does not charge a management fee either.\nLast week's Circle's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission reveals that the company earned about $3.2 million in the first quarter on the interest income from USD Coin’s reserves — worth about $11 billion at the end of March.\nThe document also revealed that a percentage of the earnings was shared with Coinbase — as set by their contractual agreements — and that it earned about $14.1 million through its other activities.\nPrice Action: Despite this controversy, USD Coin's value did not unpeg from the United States dollar by press time, standing at $0.99.\nCoinbase stock closed at $278 and was trading 1.19% lower, at $275 after-hours.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":895660993,"gmtCreate":1628739636512,"gmtModify":1676529838408,"author":{"id":"3566532164444643","authorId":"3566532164444643","name":"ZEROHERO","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62813b6df1c4722e559d112fadd5486a","vip":2,"crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"wearingBadges":[{"badgeId":"972123088c9646f7b6091ae0662215be-3","name":"Legendary Trader","description":"Total number of securities or futures transactions reached 300","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/03f10910d4dd9234f9b5702a3342193a","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/656db16598a0b8f21429e10d6c1cb033","isScarce":0,"effectEnabled":0,"redirectLinkEnabled":0,"redirectLinkValidityFrom":0,"redirectLinkValidityTo":9223372036854776000}],"authorIdStr":"3566532164444643","idStr":"3566532164444643"},"htmlText":"Can consider at $225 support&nbsp;","listText":"Can consider at $225 support&nbsp;","text":"Can consider at $225 support","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/895660993","repostId":1139316023,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139316023","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1628733063,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1139316023?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-12 09:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coinbase Admits Its USDC Stablecoin Not Fully Backed By Dollar","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1139316023","media":"Benzinga","summary":"US-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global, Inc. admitted that USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC) — a sta","content":"<div>\n<p>US-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global, Inc. admitted that USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC) — a stablecoin that it launched in collaboration with fintech firm Circle — is not fully backed by the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"None\">Source Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
