The U.S. will stop producing new pennies by 2026 due to high costs. While this may seem minor, it reflects a bigger shift: moving away from cash toward digital money.
Here’s how this benefits crypto:
Digital habits grow: Less cash = more digital transactions = smoother path for crypto adoption.
Fiat inefficiency exposed: It costs 4 cents to make a 1-cent coin—highlighting why some trust Bitcoin over the dollar.
Crypto fits the future: As microtransactions become harder with cash, Bitcoin’s Lightning Network and Ethereum L2s offer efficient digital alternatives.
People seek alternatives: With fiat under scrutiny, more eyes turn to decentralized finance.
This change might be small—but it signals a world where crypto fits in more than ever.
