At the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum, attendees used the USDC stablecoin to pay local merchants, marking Bermuda's adoption of onchain payments for fast, secure, and fully digital transactions. Separately, Coinbase has integrated Chainlink's Proof of Reserves technology to enhance transparency for its cbBTC holdings, which are valued at over $4.6 billion. This integration allows users to independently verify onchain that cbBTC reserves are backed 1:1 by Bitcoin, with data published on the Base and Ethereum blockchains. The move aims to increase trust and verifiability within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
