Visa's Crypto Card Push Signals Stablecoin Surge in Latin America

Visa has unveiled a major expansion into digital assets by launching stablecoin-based payments across six Latin American countries, including Mexico and Argentina. In partnership with Stripe-owned startup Bridge, Visa is introducing new cards that let users make everyday purchases using US dollar-backed stablecoins. These cards will function like traditional Visa cards, accepted by any vendor in the global Visa network. The move marks a significant step in integrating stablecoins into mainstream financial systems and aims to accelerate their adoption in daily commerce. Visa also hinted at a broader international rollout in Europe, Africa, and Asia in the near future.

• Visa and Bridge have launched stablecoin-linked cards across six Latin American countries, enabling everyday purchases with digital US dollar-backed assets.

• This initiative positions Visa as a leader in integrating stablecoins into traditional payment networks, with global expansion already planned.

Ripple's $5B Power Play Rebuffed: Circle Eyes IPO Instead

In a bold move to reshape the stablecoin landscape, Ripple reportedly offered $5 billion to acquire Circle, the issuer of USDC—the second-largest stablecoin by market cap. The offer was rejected as undervalued, despite Ripple’s launch of its own RLUSD stablecoin in late 2024. With Circle preparing for an initial public offering and Ripple considering a revised bid, the attempted acquisition signals intensifying competition in a stablecoin market now worth over $241 billion. Circle, valued at $61.7 billion through USDC alone, remains committed to its long-term independence and public market aspirations.

• Ripple’s $5B bid to buy Circle, issuer of the $61.7B USDC stablecoin, was rejected for being too low; Ripple may submit a new offer.

• Circle, focused on going public, remains firm on its IPO plans amid a booming $241B stablecoin market and intensifying industry rivalry.

The Death of Banking? Eric Trump Predicts Extinction for Anti-Crypto Institutions

Eric Trump has issued a stark warning to the traditional financial sector, declaring that banks resistant to cryptocurrency adoption will be “extinct in the next 10 years.” Echoing the aggressively pro-crypto stance of President Donald Trump’s administration, Eric criticized conventional banking as “broken, slow, and expensive,” even calling the SWIFT system an “absolute disaster.” He argues that blockchain technology offers a more equitable and efficient alternative, one not rigged in favor of the ultra-wealthy. Backed by initiatives like the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial DeFi project and the launch of American Bitcoin, the message is clear: crypto isn’t the future—it’s the present, and those who don’t adapt will be left behind.

• Eric Trump claims banks that reject cryptocurrency will be obsolete within a decade, calling traditional finance outdated and biased toward the ultra-rich.

• The Trump administration is aggressively backing crypto adoption, launching DeFi initiatives and pushing regulatory support through the SEC.
