Fiserv is making a big entrance into the stablecoin market.
The payments and fintech giant announced on Monday plans to roll out a new blockchain-based digital asset platform anchored by a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin called FIUSD — a product it hopes will bring thousands of banks and millions of merchants into the crypto economy by year’s end.
The new offering is designed to plug directly into Fiserv’s sprawling global network, which already processes 90 billion transactions a year across 10,000 financial institutions and 6 million merchant locations.
By baking stablecoin support into its existing banking and payment rails, Fiserv aims to fast-track adoption of blockchain-based money movement without requiring clients to overhaul infrastructure or pay extra fees.
FIUSD will initially launch using stablecoin infrastructure from Paxos and Circle — the latter of which is enjoying a stock market surge since its IPO last month.
Circle, the issuer of USD Coin, rose 6% on Monday to around $250 a share — more than 700% above its IPO price of $31 when it began trading on June 5.
“Fiserv is a global powerhouse in commerce, and Circle is a global fintech firm and stablecoin market leader,” said Heath Tarbert, President at Circle. “Together, we will work to unlock the next frontier of money movement – embedding stablecoins into everyday commerce and making money move as easily, reliably, and instantly as sending an email.”

The launch positions Fiserv as one of the first major payment infrastructure providers to offer stablecoin tools at scale, potentially transforming how banks and merchants settle transactions, send remittances, or offer 24/7 digital dollars to customers.
Fiserv’s coin will also be compatible with the solana blockchain, a popular choice for stablecoin transactions thanks to its speed and low costs.
Fiserv said its long-term goal is to make FIUSD work seamlessly with other major stablecoins and eventually offer a version that helps banks move money more efficiently under existing regulations.
Executives said the offering is built to meet the needs of traditional financial institutions — not crypto-native startups.
“FIUSD is designed with our clients in mind, a financial institution-friendly coin that simplifies stablecoin access through a secure and scalable ecosystem,” said Sunil Sachdev, head of embedded finance at Fiserv.
Features like fraud monitoring, risk controls, and settlement compliance are built-in from the start. Fiserv’s cloud-native Finxact platform will serve as the underlying ledger.
The launch comes as Congress warms to stablecoins.
The Senate passed the Genius Act last week, advancing it to the House and signaling growing support for institutional use of tokenized dollars.

All the EVs you can buy with 0% interest financing in June 2025

The world seems awfully tinderbox-y these days, what with a heat dome descending over the US, the Strait of Hormuz getting locked down, and gas prices set to climb on rising oil prices. As such, it might be a good time to buy that slick new EV you’ve had your eye on. If that sounds like you, you’re in luck! There are a bunch of great plug-in cars you can buy with 0% financing in June, 2025!
As I was putting this list together, I realized there were plenty of ways for me to present this information. “Best EVs ..?” Too opinion based. “Cheapest EVs ..?” Too much research. “Biggest discount deal ..?” Too individualized. In the end, I went with alphabetical order, by make. And, as for which deals are new this month? You’re just gonna have to check the list. Enjoy!
Acura ZDX

A solidly-built EV with GM levels of parts support and Honda levels of fit, finish, and quality control plus Apple CarPlay? That’s the Acura ZDX, and (through June 30th) you can get yours with 0% financing for up to 72 months, making the ZDX one the best sporty crossover values in the business.
Chevy Brightdrop ZEVO

GM Authority is reporting that the $25,500 discount rolled out to Chevy Brightdrop dealers nationwide has been extended through June 30th on both the Zevo 400 and 600 models, and that the massive Brightdrop price drop is stackable with up to $3,000 in Costco member savings plus 0% interest financing.

If you’re looking for a new truck for your business or even a unique #vanlife ride with zero emissions, modern tech, and a nationwide dealer network, GM makes that $130 Executive membership seem like a no-brainer.
Every electric Chevrolet

Chevrolet is offering 0% financing for up to 60 months on all three of its remaining 2024 model year Ultium-based EVs – and they’re all winners. The Silverado can be spec’ed up to a 10,500 lb. GVWR, making it capable enough to tow whatever horse, boat, or RV you put behind it.
On the crossover side, both the Chevy Blazer EV and Equinox EV each offer their own takes on the five-passenger family SUV, with the cost of base model Equinox LT FWD models with 319 miles of EPA-rated range dropping to just $27,500 after you apply the $7,500 Federal tax credit (which, for now, is still a thing).
Dodge Charger Daytona

Dodge dealers are hoping that at least a few muscle car enthusiasts with extra cash will find their way to a Dodge store and ask for the meanest, loudest, tire-shreddingest thing on the lot without caring too much about what’s under the hood. For them, Dodge has the new electric Charger, and Dodge will help get the deal done on its latest retro-tastic ride with 0% interest financing for up to 72 months!
Ford Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning

This month, you can get a killer deal on a new Ford Mustang Mach-E, with 0% interest financing for up to 72 months on the sporty plug-in pony car.
If you’re looking for something more practical, the Ford F-150 Lightning is a reasonably capable half-ton truck with V2X capabilities that first proved themselves during Texas’ 2021 ice storms, when they backed up people’s homes while they waited for power to get restored. Ford Pro customers buying an F-150 Lightning for their commercial or public fleet also get Ford’s support in sourcing grants and incentives – meaning your fleet manager would be crazy not to take a serious look at this electric pickup.
GMC Sierra + Hummer EVs

Another legacy brand with a solid Powerwall option, the big Ultium-based EVs from GM’s commercial truck brand are seriously impressive machines, with shockingly quick acceleration and on-road handling that seems to defy the laws of physics once you understand that these are, essentially, medium-duty trucks. This month, GMC is doing its best to move out its existing inventory, so if you’re a fan of heavy metal you’ll definitely want to stop by your local GMC dealer and give the Hummer EV a test drive.
Hyundai IONIQ 6

From some angles, the Porsche influences in the Hyundai IONIQ 6′ design are obvious – but not so much so that it seems like a copy of anything. It’s aerodynamically efficient, comfortable, quick, offers up to 361 miles of range, can charge just about anywhere, and now through June 30th, it’s available with 0% financing for up to 48 months.
Jeep Wagoneer S

With some dealers advertising massive $25,000 discounts, the Jeep Wagoneer S is a confusingly named EV diamond in the rough. This high-riding crossover rides on a lifted version of the same Stellantis platform as the Dodge Charger, and seems more than ready to deliver solid range and on-road performance.
With those killer deals and 0% interest for up to 72 months through June 30th, the Wagoneer S might just be the best Jeep deal you’re going to find this month!
Lexus RZ

Starting at $55,175, the Lexus RZ promises up to 266 miles of EPA-rated range from a 72.8 kWh battery back in the “base” RZ300e (and 224 from the top-shelf RZ450e, shown above). With up to 308 hp and over 195 lb-ft of instant, all-electric torque, the RZ promises to be one Lexus’ zippier rides in any trim.
US News is reporting that remaining 2024 and ’25 Lexus RZ models qualify for 0% financing for up to 72 months in some regions.
Nissan Ariya

I’ve already said that the Nissan Ariya didn’t get a fair shake. If you click that link, you’ll read about a car that offers solid driving dynamics, innovative interior design, and all the practicality that makes five-passenger crossovers the must-haves they’ve become for most families. With up to 289 miles of EPA-rated range, Tesla Supercharger access, and 0% interest from Nissan for up to 72 months, Nissan dealers should have no trouble finding homes for these.
Tesla Model 3

Say what you will about Elon Musk, we wouldn’t be here talking about EVs at all if it wasn’t for his marketing brilliance, bravado, and sheer force of will. Beyond that, Tesla simply offers as superior ownership experience through total software integration, unfettered access to the Supercharger network, and the best EV route-planning software this side of Chargeway.
If you can stomach being associated with Elon (or have an inside line on some spare Honda badges), you can get a new Model 3 for 0% interest or 0.99% with $0 down if you apply the $7,500 Federal tax incentive at the point of purchase.
Toyota bZ4X

Toyota is updating its bZ4X with a new name and a slightly updated look for 2026, but the 2025 model is still a solid mid-sized contended that packs Toyota’s reputation for reliability with a staggering three decades of modern EV battery know-how that goes back to the OG Prius launched in 1997.
With an updated bZ waiting in the wings, the current bZ4X EV might be the best deal in Toyota’s current lineup with big discounts on remaining 2024 and 2025 model year bZ4X crossovers happening all month long.
VW ID.4

One of the most popular legacy EVs, the ID.4 offers Volkswagen build quality and a Chat-GPT enabled interface. Still, with a relatively affordable base price, lickety-quick charging, up to 291 miles of EPA-rated range, and a 5-star safety rating, and 0% interest financing for 72 months, the ID.4 offers a value proposition that’s tough to beat.
Disclaimer: the vehicle models and financing deals above were sourced from CarsDirect, CarEdge, and (where mentioned) the OEM websites – and were current as of 23JUN2025. These deals may not be available in every market, with every discount, or for every buyer (the standard “with approved credit” fine print should be considered implied). Check with your local dealer(s) for more information.

Defender is preparing to shake up the luxury EV market with a rugged new entry-level SUV
Published

June 23, 2025By
admin

The Defender stands out for its off-road attitude, but somehow it still maintains an elegant, premium design. The luxury brand is preparing to launch its first EV, an entry-level “baby” SUV that could see significant demand.
Is Defender launching an entry-level EV?
Those Defenders are hard to miss nowadays. Land Rover has given the brand a new look for the 2026 model year, and it will soon introduce its first fully electric SUV.
Defender already has a unique, hardcore style, distinguishing it from Range Rover, as well as other luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Land Rover wants to capitalize on it. The Defender is already available in several variants and three different sizes, but a smaller, electric version of the SUV is in the works. According to AutoWeek, it will likely be called the Defender Sport.
Advertisement – scroll for more content
The entry-level Defender EV is expected to be roughly 4.5 meters in length, or about the size of a BMW X1. It will sit between the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque in JLR’s lineup.
Since JLR has yet to reveal a successor for the Discovery Sport, the new entry-level EV could be it. You can expect to see design elements like aggressive wheel arches and a higher-riding stance.

The Defender Sport will be available as an EV, but a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant can not be ruled out. It will be one of the first to ride on JLR’s EMA platform, which was initially designed as an EV-only platform.
The EMA platform will underpin other upcoming electric vehicles, including the successor to the Range Rover Evoque. It could even spawn a Discovery EV model, but that’s if the Defender Sport doesn’t replace it.

First, JLR will launch the first electric Range Rover SUV later this year. The Range Rover Electric already has over 61,000 signed up on the waitlist ahead of its arrival.
Earlier this year, JLR’s chief commercial officer, Lennard Hoornik, told Autocar that the electric Defender SUV is proving to be more challenging than the company had anticipated.

Hoornik explained that “Electrifying the current ‘L663’ car, on its D7x platform, is not what we want.” Although it “is brilliant at what it does,” JLR’s COO said, “it’s not easy to find the extra space you need within that chassis for batteries.”
According to Hoormik, JLR remains committed to launching an electric vehicle under each of its brands, including Range Rover, Defender, Discovery, and Jaguar.

We’re starting this week’s Green Deals off strong, as today’s edition is headlined by EcoFlow’s newly launched early Prime Day Sale with 60% discounts, bonus savings, free gear, subsidies, and more. Among the lineup, we spotted the DELTA 2 Solar Generator bundle with a smart extra battery and two 110W panels at a new $997 low. Right behind it is Lectric’s 4th of July Sale, which is taking up to $703 off its e-bike bundles, including continued savings on the new XP4 e-bikes that start from $999 with up to $356 in free gear. We also have a spotlight on Rad Power’s RadCity 5 Plus Commuter e-bike in its gorgeous burgundy red colorway at $1,499 through June 25. Lastly, we have two electric lawn care solutions at their best rates to date, with the Worx 20V 5-inch Cordless Mini Chainsaw at $84, while the Greenworks 82V Commercial 760 CFM Cordless Axial Leaf Blower comes with two Bluetooth 4.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger for $300. Plus, there’s all the rest of the hangover Green Deals from last week in the links at the bottom of the page, collected together in our Electrified Weekly roundup.
Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.
While we’ve yet to enter July, EcoFlow has launched its early Prime Day Sale running through July 7, taking up to 60% off in initial discounts while also offering bonus savings, free gear giveaways, member-only benefits, and even subsidies on a selection of bundles. Among the great offers we’re seeing, you can more affordably equip your travels and home life with backup support through the DELTA 2 Solar Generator bundle with a smart extra battery and two 110W panels for $996.55 shipped, after using the sitewide code EFPDAFF5 at checkout for an additional 5% off. This package would normally cost you $2,596 at full price, with it not featured in sales as much as the smaller bundles of either the expansion battery or the solar panels, though we did last see it drop to $999 during the brand’s Mega Sale in April. It’s coming in $2 lower than before for a total 62% markdown that cuts $1,599 off the tag, making it the best price we have tracked and one that is exclusive to the brand’s direct sales.
EcoFlow’s early Prime Day Sale features plenty of additional savings that are worth going over here. First, there’s the sitewide 5% extra savings you’ll get on orders using the code EFPDAFF5 at checkout, which can be increased to 7% extra savings on orders over $4,000 using the code EFPDAFF7 at checkout. Members have a few select pricing deals (sign up is free), while also getting 2x EcoCredits on the select website-only deals and the option to redeem EcoCredits for up to another 5% off orders at checkout. From there, you’ll also be getting a free RAPID 5,000mAh power bank with orders of $500 or more, which you can choose to swap for a free 250W solar panel when your order total reaches $2,500. Lastly, some select bundles require installation, but the brand is offering up to $500 subsidies for these, which you’ll find curated into a separate section below.

This EcoFlow DELTA 2 solar generator bundle makes a solid low-budget option to equip your out-of-home trips and home emergencies with reliable backup power support. With the smart extra battery, the usual 1,024Wh LiFePO4 capacity is doubled to 2,048Wh here, which can go further up to 3,072Wh with an additional battery. This setup provides 1,800W of steady output power through the 15 port options, surging as high as 2,200W when you have appliances with larger needs. You’ll get the usual lineup of remote smart controls – plus, the station has been given an IP68 waterproof construction considering it’ll likely accompany you into nature.
There’s also the brand’s fast-charging tech here to get the battery back to 80% in just 50 minutes through a wall outlet, or you can reach a full battery in 80 minutes. There’s a 500W max solar input, which would put the battery to full in three to six hours, so the combination here would take a bit longer. You can also recharge it via the DC port or the car port.
***Note: the prices below have not had the additional sitewide savings factored in (and don’t forget it’s going off order total), so be sure to use the code EFPDAFF5 on orders up to $3,999 and the code EFPDAFF7 on orders over $4,000 for the maximum savings!

Celebrate America’s birthday with Lectric’s new XP4 e-bikes and up to $356 in free gear from $999 in 4th of July Sale
Lectric has launched its 4th of July Sale that will run through July 7, offering up to $703 in savings on the brand’s e-bike bundles. It’s a great time to ring in the celebrations of America’s birthday with the latest generation of the country’s favorite e-bike, which has the standard XP4 e-bikes coming with $79 in free gear at $999 shipped, while the XP4 750 Long-Range e-bikes are getting $356 in free gear at $1,299 shipped. You’d normally have to shell out $1,078 and $1,655 for these packages at full price, which has been the continued deal since launching two weeks ago. The free gear on the standard models is the brand’s new LevelUp rack, which expands the cargo rack’s size, while the long-range models are getting that on top of a wider comfort saddle, a suspension seat post, an Elite headlight, and an accordion-style bike lock. Head below to learn more about these new models and to check out all the other deals from this sale.
Coming in a wider array of colorways than many of Lectric’s other models, Lectric’s XP4 e-bikes have a number of upgrades from its predecessors, with the standard XP4 e-bikes equipped with a 500W brushless gear hub motor (that peaks at 1,092W) while the XP4 750 e-bikes sport larger 750W motors (that peak at 1,310W) – both of which utilize Stealth M24 tech for quieter performance. You’ll be able to max out at 28 MPH speeds in states that permit such, otherwise you’ll be able to top out at 20 MPH. The standard models sport a 10.4Ah battery for up to 50-mile travel ranges when PAS is activated, while the 750 long-range models boast a 17.5Ah battery for up to 85-mile journeys.
Among the biggest changeups in these e-bikes’ designs, standouts include the new redesigned frames that have a zero-degree stem, as well as the detachable TFT display and the repositioned non-drive side key location and charging port (plus, keyless riding options). There’s plenty more to love here, like the integrated taillight with brake lighting and turn signal functionality, the puncture-resistant mixed-terrain tires, hydraulic brakes, the 8-speed Shimano Altus derailleur, and much more. You can get a full rundown on what to expect in our original launch coverage here.

Rad Power’s stunning red burgundy RadCity 5 Plus commuter e-bike carries you up to 50+ miles at $1,499
As part of Rad Power’s ongoing Father’s Day Sale that will continue through June 25, and also running parallel to the new RadRunner Plus and Max free gear promotions, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the brand’s RadCity 5 Plus Commuter e-bike that is down at $1,499 shipped. Normally priced at $1,699 outside of sales, we haven’t seen this model included among the savings events since March. During last year’s Labor Day sale, we saw it fall to $999 while on clearance (and originally scheduled to be discontinued), but since the model was reintroduced, it’s only ever been discounted to this same rate, which comes in as the second-best non-clearance price that we have tracked.
I was very happy to see Rad Power continue offering the RadCity 5 Plus after its original discontinuation, as I regularly take rides on my mom’s e-bike when visiting Virginia – and I much prefer this burgundy red colorway that it now comes in. The 750W rear hub motor and 672Wh battery pair together to provide up to 50+ miles of travel on a full charge at top speeds of up to 20 MPH. It has five pedal assistance levels to support you through your journeys, or you can use the throttle to cruise on pure electric power, though this does drastically limit its mileage.
There’s plenty of solid features that make the ride all the better, like the water-resistant wiring harness and puncture-resistant tires. There’s also the hydraulic disc brakes, an integrated taillight that provides brake lighting, fenders to go over each tire, an integrated rear cargo rack, and a backlit LCD for setting adjustments and at-a-glance performance information.
Be sure to also check out the other deals we’re seeing in Rad Power’s long-lasting Father’s Day Sale, which includes a rare discount on the RadTrike and a new $999 low price on the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike. And if you’ve been wanting to jump aboard the newest releases, you can score a free center cargo console for either the RadRunner Plus or RadRunner Max Cargo Utility e-bikes starting from $1,799.

Amazon is offering the Worx 20V 5-inch Cordless Mini Chainsaw at $84 shipped. Down from its $130 price tag, we’ve mostly seen it drop to $99 over the last year, with it more recently going lower to $89 while occasionally dipping to $85. Those rates are all getting beaten by the deal here, which comes as a 35% markdown that saves you $46 at the best price we have tracked. You can also find its upgraded Nitro counterpart down at $109 from $150 right now.
While it may not be the upgraded Nitro model that provides more cuts on a single charge, Worx’s first-generation mini chainsaw offers much of the same functionality for pruning tree branches at up to 100 cuts per charge of its 2.0Ah battery (which can also power 140+ other 20V, 40V and 80V tools). Its slim 3.9-pound design makes it handy when having to make cuts in tighter spaces, especially when you’re deep in the weeds and branches. You’ll be able to dial in your preferred tension level using the onboard tool, with it also providing an upper chain guard, as well as a hand guard, for added safety – plus, there’s a lock-out switch to prevent accidental start-ups.

Greenworks’ 82V commercial 760 CFM cordless axial blower with two Bluetooth 4.0Ah batteries at new $300 low (50% off)
Amazon is offering the Greenworks 82V Commercial-Grade 760 CFM Cordless Axial Leaf Blower bundle with two 82V Bluetooth 4.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger at $299.99 shipped. This combination of the blower with the two smart batteries would normally fetch $600 at full price. Discounts usually hit its one-battery package, which is currently down at the exact same rate, meaning you’ll be getting the additional 4.0Ah battery for free (valued at $250). All-in-all, you’re looking at a 50% markdown from the cost of buying everything separately, giving you $300 in savings at the best price we have tracked.
This 82V Greenworks axial leaf blower bundle comes as one of the brand’s commercial products for professional landscapers and groundskeepers, giving you “38% more power than a 27cc gas blower,” without the noise and fumes that those models tend to produce. It reaches a maximum of 760 CFM, providing up to 140 MPH air flow to clear out debris, all controlled via the trigger-activated variable speed and cruise controls. The batteries here are higher-end models than we see on its non-commercial tools, as they come with both digital and Bluetooth readouts, and allow for the blower’s 120-minute continuous runtime on a full charge of a single battery (so 240 minutes with both here).
Speaking of commercial-grade models, you can still pick up the brand’s 82V 18-inch Commercial-Grade Cordless Chainsaw that comes with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger at a new $400 low right now.
