MoneyGram partnered with payments-focused blockchain Tempo to support stablecoin settlement and help validate remittance transactions on the network, as remittance companies increasingly adopt blockchain technology for cross-border transfers.

After a brutal February that took Bitcoin from the mid-$90,000s all the way down to a $59,000 low, the market finally has something to feel decent about. $BTC is up roughly 4.65% today, trading around $71,013 and shaking off some of the fear that dominated the last several weeks. The problem is, in doing so, Bitcoin has drawn an all too familiar pattern on its charts—and one that suggests a price crash could be in the cards. The broader market, meanwhile, is still anticipating hard times. Stocks sunk to four-month lows after news of a delay to potential U.S.-Iran military…

However, the line between trading apps, banks and wallets is fading as crypto services spread into everyday payments and investing. From trading venue to financial hub The new model is broader than speculation. Crypto-friendly neobanks now target mainstream use cases, not only crypto-native traders, while crypto cards adoption is helping drive everyday usage.

At the same time, tokenized stocks boom…

While structured as a purchase, the deal effectively transfers part of Li’s in-house crypto operation into a publicly listed vehicle, giving it a clearer path to…

Fantasy.top, an on-chain trading card platform that allowed users to trade digital cards representing cryptocurrency influencers, has announced it will shut down at the end of June. The project made the announcement via X, citing insufficient trading volume from its card model to sustain operations long-term.
