Updates on Centralized Stablecoins: Reserve Assets, Transparency, and Regulatory Recognition

By Edward Wu

  • Benefiting from safer reserve assets and lower regulatory risk, Circle’s USDC is quickly eating into Tether’s USDT market share in recent months
  • USDT is highly used in the crypto on-off-ramp and as a quote currency in trading pairs, while a large share of USDC is locked into Defi protocols
  • BUSD is in its own niche to serve Binance’s ecosystem. The recent move of Binance to only keep BUSD & USDT in its exchange will have a profound impact

HHC: Tower Opening Affirms FFO Outlook

By Hamed Khorsand

  • HHC. announced the opening of 565-unit Ward Village development, Ko’ula. HHC had been forecasting the opening of the new tower at Ward Village since last year
  • The opening results in HHC recognizing revenue from the sale of each unit within the tower. The opening of Ko’ula affirms our outlook for the year
  • The opening of Ko’ula puts HHC on pace to meet 2022 condo sales guidance of $650 million to $700 million

83: Initial Thoughts On Sherwin-Williams (SHW)

By Watchlist Investing

  • I’m currently working on the September issue of Watchlist Deep Dives, which features Sherwin-Williams.
  • My research process is primary-sources focused and that means reading lots of 10K’s, which include a report from the company’s auditors.
  • I was surprised to see that Ernst & Young had served as SHW’s auditor since 1908.
