    The Business Case for Accepting Stablecoins: Lower Fees, Bigger Baskets The fee gap is larger than most merchants realise. Card payments typically run 2.5 to 3.5% in fees. Stablecoin payments through a rail like WalletConnect Pay run 0.5 to 1.0%, up to 80% less. On a business doing meaningful transaction volume, that difference compounds fast. It's not a rounding error; it's a structural change to the margin on every single transaction. Settlement speed tells a similar story. Cards settle over 2 to 3 days. Stablecoins settle near-instantly, 24/7, with no batch windows and no waiting for the next business day. For any merchant managing cash flow tightly, that's the difference between money sitting in a settlement queue and money already usable. Customers who pay in crypto spend more This is the part that tends to surprise people: crypto customers show 15 to 25% higher average order value compared to card customers. Crypto card spending itself grew 525% in 2025, which is enough scale that it reads as a genuine demand signal rather than a rounding anomaly. At the same time, fewer than 4% of merchants currently accept crypto payments, against 96% of crypto holders who say they want to pay that way. That gap between demand and acceptance is exactly where the highest average order value customers are currently going unserved. What merchants actually control None of this requires an all-or-nothing decision. Merchants accepting stablecoin payments through WalletConnect Pay choose what to accept: stablecoins only, stablecoins plus ETH, all supported assets, or specific chains like Ethereum and Base. They also choose how to settle, holding proceeds as stablecoin or converting to fiat automatically. That flexibility matters because it means adopting stablecoin payments doesn't require betting on volatility or holding a crypto balance sheet if that's not the goal. A merchant can accept USDC and have it land in their bank account as fiat the same day, with the customer never seeing anything more complicated than a payment confirmation. No new infrastructure required The practical objection merchants raise is integration cost, and it's a legitimate one. WalletConnect Pay is designed to sit alongside existing payment methods rather than replace them, appearing in checkout next to Apple Pay and PayPal, or as a QR code at point of sale, or as an NFC tap that mirrors a contactless card payment. The customer selects it, approves the payment in their wallet, and it settles in seconds. Underneath that simple flow, WalletConnect Pay handles gas fees, chain routing, and compliance (sanctions screening and Travel Rule checks run automatically before value moves), so none of that complexity reaches the merchant or the customer. What the merchant sees is a completed payment. What the customer sees is a confirmation. Everything in between is infrastructure, not the merchant's problem to solve. Weighing it up Lower fees on every transaction, faster settlement, and a customer segment that spends 15 to 25% more, against an integration that sits alongside existing checkout rather than replacing it. For merchants still on the fence about stablecoin acceptance, the economics are less speculative than they might expect, and less disruptive to implement than the words "crypto payments" might suggest.

    Chainbase (💜,💛) (@ChainbaseHQ)

    Visa launched its Stablecoin Platform on July 16, giving institutions the infrastructure to mint, redeem and move stablecoins, starting with Open USD. Stablecoins are moving into the same payment and treasury workflows institutions already use. As those flows move onchain, transaction data becomes part of the financial stack too. Institutions need a clear view of supply, liquidity, counterparties and cross-chain activity. That starts with structured, verifiable and AI-ready data. 🔗 https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.releaseId.22591.html

    According to a recent Barron’s report, the crypto industry has scored a significant political victory by helping unseat longtime Texas Congressman Rep. Al Green in the Democratic primary. Through well-funded super PACs such as Fairshake and Protect Progress — heavily backed by Coinbase and other major industry players — the sector poured millions of dollars into supporting challenger Christian Menefee, who defeated Rep. Green, a vocal crypto skeptic on the House Financial Services Committee. This high-profile win highlights the crypto lobby’s aggressive push to reshape the legislative landscape ahead of key regulatory battles.This political success delivers clear advantages to the stablecoin industry. Stablecoins serve as the foundational infrastructure for much of crypto trading, DeFi, payments, and cross-border transfers. Replacing a crypto critic like Rep. Green with a more supportive lawmaker increases the chances of passing stablecoin-specific legislation that provides regulatory clarity around reserves, issuance, oversight, and consumer protections. Such clarity would boost institutional confidence, encourage more banks and traditional financial institutions to issue or partner on stablecoins, reduce compliance uncertainty, and accelerate mainstream adoption of products like USDC and others. For the broader crypto ecosystem, this victory strengthens the industry’s ability to advance comprehensive digital asset legislation, including Coinbase’s long-sought Clarity Act and market structure reforms. By demonstrating that the crypto lobby can effectively target and remove unfriendly lawmakers, the sector sends a powerful message that pro-crypto voices will be rewarded and opponents held accountable. This political momentum is expected to improve the overall regulatory environment, reduce enforcement uncertainty from agencies like the SEC, attract more institutional capital, and foster innovation across DeFi, NFTs, tokenized assets, and blockchain applications. Crypto industry’s successful campaign in Texas strengthens the outlook for stablecoins through improved regulatory prospects and greater institutional acceptance while accelerating favorable policy outcomes across the entire crypto market. It marks a significant step in the sector’s maturation as a political and economic force.

    Rayls (@RaylsLabs)

    Rayls is proud to have joined the Financial Conduct Authority Stablecoin Sprint. Regulators, banks, and infrastructure providers came together to examine how the UK can build a globally competitive stablecoin payments ecosystem. @petebidewell represented Rayls in discussions alongside leadership from the Bank of England and senior figures across financial services. A clear direction emerged. Global payments are moving away from layered correspondent banking toward stablecoin-powered settlement rails, and ultimately toward direct onchain clearing between financial institutions. The opportunity isn’t just faster payments. It’s programmable settlement, interoperability with tokenised assets, and financial institutions operating directly on digital infrastructure. Stablecoins aren’t a side experiment for finance anymore. They’re quickly becoming the new settlement layer for how value moves on the internet.

    Let me make this very clear: Big Banks (think JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.) are lobbying overtime to block Americans from getting higher yields on their savings—while trying to block any rewards or perks from being given to customers. These banks, and others, pay rock-bottom rates on standard savings (often 0.01%–0.05% APY), even as the Fed pays them 4% or more. This massive spread fuels record profits, with almost none passed back to their customers / everyday depositors. Today, the banks are desperately targeting crypto/stablecoins, where platforms plan to offer 4–5%+ yields or rewards. The ABA and other lobbyists are spending millions trying to ban or restrict those yields via bills like the Clarity Act, crying “fairness” and using words like "stability"—when it's really about protecting their low-rate monopoly and preventing deposit flight. This is anti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American. Next time you see a big bank dropping billions on a shiny new Midtown Manhattan HQ, you know exactly where that money comes from: the non-existent interest rate they “pay” you! Fortunately, the big banks are losing this fight as customers wake up to the games… @worldlibertyfi

    The U.S. Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) said in its 2025 annual report that it has eased its stance on crypto assets and stablecoins, no longer framing them as an immediate systemic risk. FSOC cited the GENIUS Act, which took effect in July, as providing a federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, bringing greater clarity while supporting U.S. stablecoin innovation. The report dropped prior warnings about run risks and market concentration, and noted that most on-chain activity is associated with legitimate use rather than illicit finance. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2000747158140772573

    Neura (@Neura_io)

    Europe just hard-coded "instant" into law. The EU’s new Instant Payments Regulation mandates 10-second euro transfers and automatic payee verification; that’s now the baseline: fast, safe, always-on. Users will soon compare every crypto payment against that standard, and a transfer that takes minutes will feel completely archaic. Neura’s philosophy is simple: stablecoins deserve rails built for that kind of certainty. By isolating stablecoin traffic on deterministic rails, Neura makes onchain settlement feel as reliable as a SEPA instant payment: real-time finality, compliance baked in. The world is moving to “instant by design.” Neura is building the rails for crypto to match that.
