Visa's research indicates that consumer trust is a major hurdle for stablecoin adoption, more so than the technology itself. A significant portion of U.S. adults, 36%, expressed willingness to use stablecoins in a base scenario. This figure rose to 45% when stablecoins were offered by an existing financial provider. Crucially, willingness to use stablecoins jumped to 56% under hypothetical conditions of bank-level fraud protection and deposit insurance. Consumers appear to prioritize safeguards, with many willing to accept slower transfers for enhanced fraud protection. The study revealed that 45% of U.S. respondents would tolerate a 24-hour delay for better security. Concerns about scams, including AI-enabled fraud, also contribute to user hesitation. It is important to note that the bank-style protections mentioned are hypothetical and not standard for stablecoins. The research surveyed over 2,192 U.S. adults and more than 45,000 people globally. The findings suggest the challenge for stablecoins lies in building confidence in their security, not just their efficiency.

The greenback will retain its dominance as stablecoins increasingly shape cross-border payments, speakers at a Fed conference predicted.

For years, the knock on Samsung was that it made brilliant hardware and then surrounded it with a fragmented software experience that never quite cohered. What came out of Galaxy Unpacked 2026 in London today suggests that era is ending - not because Samsung suddenly built its own AI stack, but because it stopped pretending it needed to. The event, Samsung's first major UK announcement in 14 years, introduced three foldables, two watches, a credit card, a financial services platform with stablecoin support, and Gemini-powered smart glasses made with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. That last category is the tell. Samsung isn't launching products anymore. It's building an ecosystem, and Google is providing the connective tissue. The Apple Parallel Nobody in Cupertino Will Enjoy Apple's playbook has always been the same: own the hardware, own the software, own the experience, and charge accordingly. Samsung has historically competed on hardware specs and price breadth. But the Unpacked lineup - phones, watches, rings, earwear, financial services - now maps almost point-for-point onto Apple's own device family, right down to a tiered product structure with a new "Ultra" foldable at the top at $2,099, a standard Z Fold 8 at $1,899, and a...

Sui has launched gasless stablecoin transfers, enabling users to send supported stablecoins without gas fees. This feature allows for $0.00 transfer fees on the Sui network, simplifying payments. Major stablecoins like USDsui and USDC are supported, removing the need to hold SUI for transactions. Fireblocks has integrated the solution to expand Sui's payments ecosystem for institutional use. Mysten Labs believes gasless transfers are a step towards making Sui a global payment platform. The initiative isn't a temporary promotion but a structural change in how stablecoins operate on Sui. This positions Sui as a cost-effective infrastructure for businesses and traders. The network has already processed over $1 trillion in stablecoin transfers since August 2025. This new mechanism eliminates gas pre-funding and volatile treasury management. The launch enhances institutional access to the Sui ecosystem and expands its digital dollar ecosystem. Gasless stablecoin transfers are now rolling out on Sui Mainnet.

The 2025 Landscape: A New Era of Digital Asset Markets Cryptocurrency trading in 2025 bears little resemblance to the Wild West of a decade prior. Institutional adoption has matured, regulatory frameworks have crystallized across major jurisdictions, and the asset class has integrated deeply into traditional finance. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a new generation of layer-1 blockchains now trade alongside tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and regulated stablecoins.
