Ethereum remains the legacy venue for stablecoin payments, while Solana expands adoption with a growing number of user addresses. Crypto payment cards grew slowly, starting out as a novelty item. Now, using stablecoins as a form of payment has turned into a consumer staple. Recently, Stripe’s new Privy of crypto and stablecoins, Henri Stern, announced the platform will expand its stablecoin tools to boost global adoption. Growth also came from adoption through Revolut, which expanded its selection with a native EURR stablecoin based on the Euro. $USDC drives crypto card expansion Stablecoin usage shifted following the mandatory MiCAR adoption in…

Despite the privacy gains, $COTI’s post is explicit that stealth addresses have real limits. On transparent chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin, the fact that a transfer happened, the sender’s address, and the payment amount all remain publicly visible, as does the timing of the transaction. The post also flags a more subtle leak: a freshly generated stealth address typically holds no native token to pay gas fees, so topping it up from a main wallet can inadvertently link the two addresses together, undoing much of the privacy benefit the scheme was meant to provide. To underscore how real this risk…

The company states that the cycle reached its bottom in late July after the Elliott Wave analysis hit its downward target and the price remained above the critically important $62,900 level. Besides these, the company pointed to the 21-week moving average as a bottom indicator. Stating that this indicator also confirmed the bottom, the company noted that after $BTC surpassed $62,900, it also rose above the 21-week moving average of $69,272. BIT Research considers this move one of the key indicators that the bear market is over. “…When the price is above this, the trend is generally upward. When the…

Details of the Deal and Rebranding Plan Under the terms disclosed by Chime, the transaction values Stride at $590 million, paid entirely in cash. Both companies’ boards have unanimously approved the agreement. Once regulators sign off and the deal closes, Stride Bank, N.A. will be rebranded as Chime Bank, N.A., a name change that formalizes what has effectively been a tight operational partnership since Stride first began sponsoring Chime’s accounts. Chime CEO and co-founder Chris Britt framed the acquisition as an extension of the company’s existing strategy rather than a pivot, saying the deal would make the company’s “member-aligned, technology-driven…

Later on the token retraced back to $0.032257, where it was trading at press time. Source: TradingView The move has now brought the price close to its short-term exhaustion zone at $0.032758, which is the latest local high. Its RSI stood at 69.23, nearing the overbought threshold. If buyers are able to maintain control above $0.027, they will continue to maintain the current breakout structure, which should provide an additional basis for upside potential. Consequently, if they lose control below $0.027, it will eliminate the most significant technical improvement since the breakout began and significantly raise the odds of a…

Ekubo’s Starknet mainnet create-position page now displays a Public/Private selector alongside its token-pair, fee and price-range controls. The default page displays ETH and USDC. Using Shadow Accounts requires a wallet that supports the shadow-specific STRK20 methods, according to the developer guide. The integration follows StarkWare’s Oct. 13 launch of Shadow Accounts. The technical change is a lasting owner for a DeFi position: the existing helper-contract approach completes an operation and returns its proceeds within one transaction, while a shadow account can retain balances and positions across transactions, according to the starknet.js guide. Under the documented design, funds move from a…

Brandt, who previously predicted that the Bitcoin bear market might end around October 4th, believes that recent developments indicate a new bull cycle may have begun before that date. However, Brandt does not rule out the possibility of another correction in the short term. He specifically mentioned that Bitcoin could fall to the $65,000-$66,000 level in early October. “It’s highly likely that Bitcoin has hit bottom and entered a new bull market cycle.” Expectations of a New Bull Cycle in Bitcoin! Veteran trader Peter Brandt has also raised his expectations for Bitcoin’s next peak. Brandt stated that he has increased…

Source: David Bailey Some shareholders are now asking Metaplanet to cancel the additional 273 million shares created from the changes and to provide more transparency on future decisions. Metaplanet said it froze the pool at 319.5 million shares on Aug. 18, but critics contend this magnified dilution for existing shareholders, as the pool grew from 46 million shares to 319.5 million. Pseudonymous Metaplanet shareholder Bitcoin Pharaoh claimed that Bailey personally benefited from Metaplanet’s stock options and received 300,000 options at a 105 Japanese yen strike price, when the stock was trading at 510 yen, as compensation for his role as…
