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…

Optimism (OP) underperformed as risk-off sentiment hit high-beta altcoins hardest. The buyback plan is delayed, small, and lacks immediate supply reduction. 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. However, the market reaction highlights the gap between long-term fundamentals and short-term trading reality. OP is currently trading around $0.27, down roughly 8.8% in the past 24 hours. This decline is sharper than the broader crypto market’s 5.26%…

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…

Fidelity announced the launch of a stablecoin on the Ethereum mainnet, positioning the token as a compliance-wrapped settlement dollar distributed through the firm’s brokerage, custody, and wealth management channels.The move lands amid what looks like a stablecoin sprawl, as estimates suggest 59 new major stablecoins launched in 2025 alone, per third-party tracker Stablewatch.This looks like overcrowding, but it’s segmentation. Stablecoins that all say “$1” aren’t interchangeable once distribution, compliance perimeter, redemption rails, permitted users, chain portability, and treasury strategy are priced in.Fidelity’s FIDD digital dollarFidelity’s token, the Fidelity Digital Dollar (FIDD), is issued by Fidelity Digital Assets, National Association, a…

Ripple has pushed deeper into corporate finance with a new treasury platform that aims to let finance teams manage cash and digital assets in one system.The product, called Ripple Treasury, is built on treasury management software Ripple acquired in October 2025 when it bought GTreasury in a $1 billion deal.The new move represents a strategic bet that could boost the day-to-day relevance of its RLUSD stablecoin while reopening a long-standing question for institutional users: whether XRP still needs to sit in the middle of payment flows.
