The survey, conducted in March and July, included over 3,600 consumers from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. More than half of the respondents consider cryptocurrency an important asset class and payment method, with 65% believing that it could replace cash. Analysts Marion Laboure and Sai Ravindran noted, 'We expect the democratization of cryptocurrency to advance further in the next 2-3 years, driven by exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Federal Reserve policies, and regulatory developments.'#DeutscheBank #cryptocurrency #interest #USConsumers #survey #assetClass #paymentMethod #cashReplacement #democratization #ETFs #FederalReserve #regulatoryDevelopments

According to Foresight News, DL News reports that Chris Colson, a payments researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, has highlighted the growing adoption of stablecoins as a new payment method, despite facing several challenges. Colson noted that some retailers have already begun accepting stablecoin payments, and the market size for stablecoins has surpassed $230 billion, which is comparable to the annual GDP of Greece or New Zealand.
Colson emphasized that for stablecoins to achieve widespread adoption, they must gain acceptance from banks, credit card companies, and regulatory bodies. He pointed out that since stablecoin transactions are based on blockchain technology, they lack the ability to reverse transactions as traditional banking payments do, posing a challenge that needs to be addressed during their promotion. He also mentioned that similar to Apple Pay, which took a decade to gain widespread user acceptance, stablecoins may require time to be broadly embraced by users.#Stablecoins #PaymentMethod #Blockchain #RetailAdoption #FinancialTechnology #Regulation #DigitalCurrency #ChrisColson #EconomicImpact #PaymentSystems

According to Odaily, the U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote on the Guiding and Establishing New Innovations for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act this Thursday. This comprehensive stablecoin legislation has garnered both criticism and support, with proponents suggesting it will grant federal recognition to the burgeoning industry and facilitate the broader adoption of stablecoins as a payment method beyond cryptocurrency exchanges.
Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has expressed her intention to unite Senate Democrats in opposition to the measure. She warns that the act could pave the way for large tech companies to dominate the U.S. dollar. In a two-page analysis of the bill, Warren stated, "Under this legislation, Elon Musk could launch 'X Money' tomorrow, transforming social media into a payment empire with minimal regulation, which poses a risk of the dollar's potential privatization."#Stablecoin #InnovationAct #GENIUSAct #USSENATE #ElizabethWarren #Cryptocurrency #PaymentMethod #Legislation #FinancialRegulation #TechCompanies

According to Odaily, Twitter co-founder and current Block CEO Jack Dorsey expressed his views on the "Presidio Bitcoin" podcast, stating that Bitcoin will fail if it only serves as a store of value. Dorsey emphasized that Bitcoin's success is rooted in its use as a payment method. Despite its limited supply, which gives it the potential to be a store of value comparable to gold, this perspective has led many to hold onto their Bitcoin in anticipation of its value increasing. However, Dorsey highlighted that if Bitcoin does not transition into a payment system and find everyday use cases, it will deviate from the original intent outlined in its white paper, ultimately leading to its failure.#JackDorsey #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #PaymentMethod #ValueStorage #PresidioBitcoin #Blockchain #FinancialFuture #BitcoinSuccess #BTC

🚀 Tax Policy Hinders Bitcoin's Use as Payment Method, Experts Say
#Bitcoin #TaxPolicy #Cryptocurrency #PaymentMethod #BTC #DeMinimisExemption #Stablecoins #CryptoAdoption #TaxExemption #FinancialPolicy #CryptoDebate #WyomingSenator #JackDorsey #CryptoLaw #MartyBent
The primary challenge to Bitcoin's (BTC) adoption as a payment method is tax policy, rather than technological limitations related to scaling, according to Pierre Rochard, a board member of Bitcoin treasury company Strive. According to Cointelegraph, Rochard highlighted that the absence of a de minimis tax exemption for small Bitcoin transactions is a significant barrier. This tax policy requires that every BTC transaction be taxed, which discourages its use as a medium of exchange.
In December 2025, the Bitcoin Policy Institute, a non-profit organization focused on policy advocacy, raised concerns about the lack of tax exemptions for minor Bitcoin transactions. U.S. lawmakers are contemplating restricting the de minimis tax exemption to overcollateralized dollar-pegged stablecoins, which are backed by fiat cash deposits or short-term government securities. This proposal has faced criticism from the Bitcoin community, who argue that it unfairly limits Bitcoin's potential as a payment method.
In July 2025, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a known supporter of the crypto industry, introduced a bill advocating for a de minimis tax exemption on digital asset transactions of $300 or less. The bill also proposed a $5,000 annual limit on exemptions and included provisions to exempt cryptocurrencies used for charitable donations. Additionally, it suggested deferring income from staking or mining cryptocurrencies until the assets are sold.
Prominent figures in the crypto space, such as Jack Dorsey, founder of the payments company Square, have voiced support for tax exemptions on small Bitcoin transactions. Dorsey emphasized the need for Bitcoin to become "everyday money" as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Bitcoin advocate and co-founder of the Truth for the Commoner media outlet, Marty Bent, criticized the proposed tax exemption for stablecoins as "nonsensical." The ongoing debate highlights the complexities of integrating cryptocurrencies into everyday financial systems and the need for thoughtful policy development.#Bitcoin #TaxPolicy #Cryptocurrency #PaymentMethod #BTC #DeMinimisExemption #Stablecoins #CryptoAdoption #TaxExemption #FinancialPolicy #CryptoDebate #WyomingSenator #JackDorsey #CryptoLaw #MartyBent

Institutional crypto hedge funds are increasing their cash reserves while reducing exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum due to a declining risk appetite. According to NS3.AI, Bitcoin is experiencing an 'identity crisis,' as its roles as digital gold, a payment method, and a speculative asset are all under scrutiny.

🚀 South Korea's Ruling Party Sets Standards for Tokenization of Physical Assets

South Korea's ruling Democratic Party has introduced a comprehensive bill outlining standards for the tokenization of physical assets. According to PANews, the legislation requires issuers to deposit related assets into a management trust in accordance with capital market laws, with specific details to be determined by presidential decree.
The bill also addresses stablecoins, stipulating that if used for foreign exchange transactions, they will be considered a payment method under foreign exchange laws, automatically falling under the supervision of foreign exchange management without the need for additional registration. For everyday consumer payments, stablecoins are exempt from reporting obligations.
Furthermore, the legislation prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest to holders under any circumstances. The Financial Services Commission is tasked with developing interoperability technical standards for stablecoins to prevent liquidity fragmentation when Korean won stablecoins are issued across multiple chains.
Additionally, the bill proposes integrating exchange and decentralized disclosure systems into a unified disclosure system under the digital asset industry association.#SouthKorea #RulingParty #Tokenization #PhysicalAssets #DemocraticParty #PANews #Legislation #Stablecoins #ForeignExchange #PaymentMethod #FinancialServicesCommission #Interoperability #DigitalAssets
