The following is a guest post and opinion from Jenny Drinkwater, Marketing Manager at System73.For years, crypto payments have lived in an awkward middle ground. They were never quite mainstream, but they also never disappeared. Merchants experimented, users showed curiosity, and yet, for most businesses, accepting crypto still felt like something peripheral rather than essential.As the industry moves toward 2026, that dynamic is changing — not because crypto suddenly became more exciting, but because payment infrastructure around it is becoming more practical. The focus is shifting away from ideology and toward execution: settlement, compliance, and integration with existing systems.The next…

Technical breakdown below key averages has triggered strong sell-side momentum. The Optimism (OP) token is falling even after token holders approved a long-awaited buyback plan. At first glance, this seems counterintuitive, since buybacks are often seen as bullish for token prices.

Markets dumped into the US open, Bitcoin fell through $85k, gold slipped tooAt 09:30 EST the tape changed in a way traders can feel in their stomach, the kind of flip where you stop looking for clever explanations and start checking how much margin you actually have.Bitcoin rolled over, then it dropped, then it started moving in chunks. On one screen, the S&P 500 e-mini was sliding, the dollar was firming, oil was ripping higher, and the so called safety metals were getting hit at the same time. A lot of people only needed a few candles to realise this…
