🚀📊 Crypto Meets TradFi: Bitcoin, Stablecoins & Institutional Moves – Paybis Weekly Digest #17

Another week, another strong signal that crypto and traditional finance are merging at full speed. In the latest Paybis Weekly Crypto Digest #17, the spotlight falls on the powerful forces reshaping the digital asset landscape — from stablecoins and tokenized fiat to the growing dominance of Bitcoin and institutional involvement.

🔍 What’s inside this week’s digest?

🟠 Tether’s transformation

No longer “just” a USDT issuer — Tether is evolving into a full-fledged financial group with new ventures like Tether Finance, Tether Data, and infrastructure investments in developing regions.

💳 Visa & Mastercard move deeper into crypto

Visa tests VTAP, a tokenized fiat payment platform. Mastercard continues to support USDC and PayPal USD, showing increased confidence in blockchain-based payments.

📈 Bitcoin dominance at 64%

The highest level since early 2021. Institutional confidence, ETF demand, and macro uncertainty continue to push Bitcoin into the spotlight.

🏦 Institutional adoption ramps up

• Fidelity is working on its own stablecoin

• Circle (USDC) strengthens ties with Visa

• PayPal USD is entering global payment systems

💬 Why it matters:

We're witnessing a paradigm shift. Digital assets are no longer niche — they’re being integrated into global financial infrastructure. Stablecoins, in particular, are gaining real-world utility for payments, business, and cross-border finance.
