$BTC Impressive this artificial rise of BTC, and I haven't seen anyone talking about it. This thing simply won't go back to 100k, it might even hit it, but when it does, it's going to drop hard. I want to place a short order at 100k with leverage, I wouldn't be surprised if it falls to 91, 89.
Mastercard enters the trend of stablecoins with new cryptocurrency payment offering.
In recent years, Mastercard has partnered with exchanges Crypto.com, Bybit, Binance, and Kraken, as well as payment service providers Monavate and Bleap, to offer cryptocurrency services to its users. The company seeks to enable users to earn rewards and spend stablecoins from their wallets at 150 million establishments that accept Mastercard.
Stablecoins are digital tokens pegged to the value of assets that do not experience large price fluctuations, usually the US dollar. This type of cryptocurrency is commonly used by traders who need to quickly enter and exit transactions without relying on traditional banking services.
Advertising The topic of stablecoins has gained prominence recently, as lawmakers are debating two bills related to this type of asset.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued new guidance on stablecoins, stating in a release that certain types of dollar-pegged tokens are not considered securities, according to their view.
However, the SEC refrained from commenting on yield-bearing or algorithm-based stablecoins, leaving room for future interpretations by the agency.
Decrypt reached out to Mastercard for additional comments.

Fourteen years ago today, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, sent his last known message.
"I am now busy with other things." — this was the one line after which Satoshi's direct contact ended forever.
No desire for fame, no apparent farewell. Just a simple message that sparked a global financial revolution.
Today, Bitcoin is among the top 5 most valuable assets in the world. Satoshi's identity remains a mystery today — but their legacy lives on in every block. #satoshiNakamato $BTC
$BTC How much would you have today if you had invested R$ 100 in bitcoin (BTC) 11 years ago?
Imagine if you had invested in bitcoin (BTC) in 2014, the year Brazil was boiling with popular demonstrations calling for the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and echoing the famous slogan “The Giant Awoke!”. Today, without a doubt, your financial situation would be on another level.
It is important to remember: it is not a political leader who transforms your bank account. The real turning point comes from smart financial decisions, such as identifying assets with high appreciation potential and investing before they soar.
BTC has already proven its value over time. Those who held the coin for four years or more saw their capital grow more than traditional investments like gold and the S&P 500.
Eleven years have passed — almost in the blink of an eye — and that initial amount would have transformed into an impressive R$ 62,296. See the year-by-year evolution:
2014: R$ 100 2015: R$ 130 2016: R$ 273 2017: R$ 2,833 2018: R$ 1,809 2019: R$ 3,315 2020: R$ 10,855 2021: R$ 32,000 2022: R$ 9,317 2023: R$ 19,718 2024: R$ 62,296 For those who think that "the train has already left", it’s worth reconsidering. Many experts still see a long path of appreciation ahead. Estimates suggest that BTC could reach US$ 1.5 million by 2035, according to Coin Telegraph.
$ETH loses space in the crypto market, and manager replaces it with Solana.
Ethereum continues to face a difficult moment in the market. With a nearly 50% drop accumulated in 2025, the second largest cryptocurrency in the world recently recorded a new negative record, this time regarding its market capitalization. Additionally, the manager Galaxy Digital made a move that reinforced the signs of crisis for the project.
Recently, the so-called "dominance" of ether — which measures its market share — reached the lowest value since the beginning of measurements. The data is a relationship between the asset's capitalization and the total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market and reached 7% this Tuesday, the 22nd.
$BTC Bitcoin gains momentum with the entry of US$ 489 million in ETFs and tensions between Trump and the Fed.
The #recent breakout above US$ 87,000 signals a trend reversal, supported by increased investments in spot ETFs and the slowdown in sales by miners after the halving (inflationary event that occurs every four years)," says Guilherme Prado, Country manager of Bitget in Brazil.
The gains occur amid threats from Donald Trump, President of the United States, to the independence of the Federal Reserve (Fed, the U.S. central bank), for not lowering interest rates as quickly as he would like. Trump accused Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman, of political favoritism towards the Democrats. On Friday (18), the White House confirmed that Trump is "studying" whether the president has the power to terminate Powell's term before 2026.
