The offering, developed by Visa in conjunction with the startup Bridge, owned by Stripe, is a significant step towards making cryptocurrencies part of traditional commerce, both for merchants and consumers. The launch, which Visa intends to expand to other countries, comes at a time when stablecoins — blockchain-based assets tied to a fiat currency like the dollar — are rapidly gaining popularity among traditional financial means due to the ease with which they can be transferred between accounts and across borders.
#AirdropSafetyGuide XRP traders anticipate new all-time highs as the chances of ETF approval rise to 85% Key takeaways: The chances of approval for the XRP ETF have increased to 85% following a change in SEC leadership. Analysts predict that XRP may rise to new all-time highs again in 2025. The price of XRP fell 5% in the last 24 hours, as US GDP data showed a contracting economy. However, a strengthening market structure and growing investor hope for approval of the spot XRP ETF in the United States suggest that the altcoin may revisit its April peak of $2.36 in the short term.

Ethereum ETF staking will have little impact without a multi-month rally: Analyst.
#AltcoinETFsPostponed Key Findings The approval of staking for spot Ether index funds (ETFs) in the U.S. may have minimal impact on inflows unless Ether sees sustained gains, says Eric Balchunas. ETH significantly dropped in price after the launch of the ETFs last year, unlike spot Bitcoin ETFs, which saw new all-time highs just two months after their launch. For inflows to increase again, Balchunas said ETH would need a multi-month rally along with a strong narrative.
Ethereum Eyes $2000 Breakout Amid Surging On-Chain Metrics: Is a Bigger Rally Ahead?
The price of Ethereum has been rising due to increasing buying pressure following the overall market recovery. The easing of tensions in the China-US trade war has also made investors feel more positive about Ethereum. Because of this, crucial on-chain numbers for Ethereum have surged, and activity in DeFi has also increased. All of this makes it more likely that the price of Ethereum could rise towards $2,000. Ethereum's Netflow turns negative In the last 24 hours, the price of Ethereum has faced increasing volatility from both buyers and sellers. As a result, the liquidation volume has been rising amid a decline in open interest. Data from Coinglass shows that Ethereum had a total liquidation of around $26.7 million in the last 24 hours. Of this total, buyers liquidated $10.6 million and sellers closed $16.1 million in short positions.
SEC delays decisions on XRP and DOGE ETFs The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on whether to approve two proposed cryptocurrency investment funds (ETFs) that hold Dogecoin and XRP, according to records. The U.S. regulator pushed back its deadline for deciding on the proposed ETF listings to June, according to two records reviewed by Cointelegraph. The records were responses to March requests from U.S. exchanges NYSE Arca and Cboe BZX Exchange to list Bitwise's Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF and Franklin Templeton's XRP (XRP) ETF, respectively. They arrived on the same day that Nasdaq, another U.S. exchange, requested permission to list a Dogecoin ETF from 21Shares. Dogecoin is the most traded memecoin in the world, with a market capitalization of about $26 billion as of April 29, according to data from CoinGecko. XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger blockchain network. Its market capitalization is approximately $133 billion, according to CoinGecko data. Flood of records In 2025, the SEC received requests to authorize dozens of altcoin ETFs for listing in the U.S. As of April 21, around 70 crypto ETFs were awaiting review by the SEC. Asset managers are proposing funds that hold "[e]verything from XRP, Litecoin, and Solana to Penguins, Doge, and 2x Melania and everything in between," said Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas in a post on April 21 on platform X. The flood of proposals comes as U.S. President Donald Trump pressures the SEC to adopt a more welcoming stance towards cryptocurrencies. However, analysts warn that investor demand for altcoin ETFs may be lukewarm compared to funds that hold major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). “Having your coin become an ETF is like being in a band and having your songs added to all the music streaming services,” said Balchunas.
