Hi everyone! Friday crypto digest is here, and letโs check out what has happen during the last week.
Top 5 crypto stories that matter this week or the biggest developments shaping the industry:
๐น Ethereum Foundation Restructures
Leadership changes and organizational reforms signal a renewed focus on scaling Ethereum's ecosystem and accelerating protocol development. Infrastructure remains the foundation of Web3 innovation.
๐น UK Finalizes Stablecoin Framework
The Bank of England introduced a more flexible regulatory framework for sterling-backed stablecoins, easing previous restrictions while maintaining financial safeguards. A clear sign that regulated digital assets are becoming part of mainstream finance.
๐น Bitcoin Holds Strong Amid Market Volatility
Despite mixed macro conditions, Bitcoin continues to demonstrate resilience as institutional participation and long-term adoption trends remain intact.
๐น U.S. Advances Anti-CBDC Legislation
Congress is moving toward restricting a retail U.S. central bank digital currency through 2031, potentially strengthening the role of privately issued stablecoins in the digital payments ecosystem.
๐น Regulators Intensify Action Against Crypto Crime
The U.S. Department of Justice seized infrastructure allegedly connected to the Huione laundering network, highlighting the growing focus on compliance, transparency, and secure blockchain ecosystems.
๐ก What does this mean for builders?
As regulation matures and institutional adoption accelerates, the demand for secure, scalable, and reliable blockchain infrastructure continues to grow. The teams building tomorrow's Web3 applications need cloud platforms that can scale with their ambitions.
Why payments need to work 24/7? ๐
Todayโs economy no longer fits into traditional banking hours. Global commerce operates around the clock, customers expect instant settlement, and businesses canโt afford delays caused by outdated payment infrastructure.
While traditional systems pause on weekends and holidays, the digital economy doesnโt. This gap creates friction: from slowed cash flow to stalled international operations ๐
This is where crypto offers a structural advantage. Blockchain-based payments operate 24/7, enabling near-instant settlement without dependence on legacy banking schedules. For businesses, this means higher efficiency, improved liquidity management, and a smoother global workflow.
As more companies expand internationally and adopt always-on digital services, continuous payment availability will shift from being a competitive advantage to a basic requirement. Crypto provides the infrastructure to meet that standard today ๐ค
Is your business ready for a world that never stops?
This week, our team was at iFX EXPO in Limassol โ and the conversations on the floor made one thing clear: the industry isn't talking about "if" crypto fits into payments anymore. It's talking about how fast it's scaling.
A few trends came up again and again across our meetings:
1. Stablecoins are becoming business infrastructure, not just trading pairs
Stablecoins are increasingly being used as business payment infrastructure โ cutting currency conversion costs and delays, reducing intermediaries, and supporting faster cross-border settlement.
2. Tokenization has moved from concept to scale
Active tokenised real-world assets grew approximately 589% from early 2025 to June 2026, with public equities tokenization leading at 422% growth.
3. Crypto is being treated as serious financial infrastructure, not just a tech bet
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows are now showing convergent signals with debt instruments rather than tech stocks โ and that shift in how institutions think about digital assets was reflected in the seriousness of the conversations we had this week.
That's exactly the conversation we came to Limassol to have. Three days, dozens of meetings, and one clear takeaway: the businesses moving fastest right now are the ones building real payment infrastructure around stablecoins and tokenized assets โ not chasing headlines.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to talk. If we didn't get to connect at iFX EXPO, our calendar is still open.

The crypto market had another eventful week. And we are back with weekly crypto digest from Thedex!
๐น Bitcoin ETFs recorded significant outflows, signaling a temporary slowdown in institutional demand.
๐น Bitcoin faced renewed volatility as investors navigated macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting market sentiment.
๐น The U.S. CLARITY Act continued advancing through the legislative process, bringing the industry one step closer to much-needed regulatory clarity.
๐น Stablecoins remain one of crypto's strongest growth stories, with banks and financial institutions accelerating adoption and exploring new use cases.
๐น Ethereum continued to lag behind Bitcoin, fueling discussions around ecosystem growth, capital allocation, and future scalability.
๐น Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization is gaining momentum as traditional finance increasingly embraces blockchain-powered infrastructure.
๐น XRP remained in focus, supported by continued institutional interest and optimism around future ETF developments.
While short-term sentiment remains cautious due to ETF outflows and market volatility, long-term fundamentals continue to strengthen through regulation, institutional adoption, stablecoins, and tokenization.
The next few weeks could be pivotal for both market direction and regulatory developments. Stay tuned!
Most people think blockchain started with Bitcoin. But it didn't.
Here's the full story, and why it matters for every business accepting payments today ๐
2008 โ Satoshi publishes a white paper. A trustless, decentralized ledger. No banks. No middlemen.
2009 โ The first Bitcoin block is mined.
2013 โ Ethereum introduces smart contracts. Blockchain becomes programmable.
2020 โ DeFi explodes. A parallel financial system, open 24/7 to anyone, anywhere.
2026 โ Blockchain is infrastructure. Businesses accept crypto as naturally as card payments.
Every step of this journey pointed to one thing: removing friction from value exchange.
That's what we do at Thedex: making crypto payments simple, automated, and accessible for any business, anywhere in the world. ๐

Global retail crypto activity reached $979B in Q1 2026, down 11% YoY, showing that the market is shifting from speculation to infrastructure.
The U.S. remained #1 with $212B, followed by South Korea, Russia, India, Turkey, and Venezuela. While overall retail participation slowed due to macroeconomic pressure and reduced risk appetite, some markets showed strong resilience.
๐ฎ๐ณ India was one of the most stable major markets, declining only 6% compared to the global average of 20%, supported by strong P2P activity and local exchanges.
๐น๐ท Turkey moved up to #5 globally, growing 7% YoY - one of the few major markets showing expansion during the broader market slowdown.
๐ป๐ช Venezuela continued to demonstrate strong stablecoin-driven adoption, where crypto is used more for payments and settlement than speculation. Stablecoins represent a major share of retail activity there.
Another important signal: EUR-backed stablecoins grew 12x from January 2025 to March 2026, reaching $777M monthly volume โ showing early diversification beyond USD-based rails.
The key takeaway: crypto is becoming less about retail speculation and more about practical use cases like stablecoins, payments, and settlement infrastructure. This is exactly where platforms like Thedex are becoming increasingly relevant.

Everyone talks about crypto prices, but the real shift is happening behind the scenes!
Crypto is moving from trading to infrastructure: payments, stablecoins, and real business use cases are becoming the focus. More companies are exploring how to accept crypto, reduce costs, and operate globally without banking friction.
This is where reliable infrastructure matters. At Thedex, we help businesses turn crypto from an experiment into a practical payment method.
We broke this shift down in our latest article:

Crypto payments offer speed and global reach, but what about risks?
In our latest article, we break down how businesses can manage volatility, transaction fees, and compliance when accepting digital assets.
Read the full insights below ๐
https://t.co/YTbtli2GT8
Crypto regulation is no longer just about restrictions.
For years, uncertainty around regulation slowed down adoption.
Businesses were asking: Is this allowed? What are the risks? How do we stay compliant?
Now, thatโs changing.
Regulators are starting to clearly define what is and isnโt a security, bringing much-needed structure to the market.
At Thedex, we see this shift as a turning point.
Clear rules make it easier for companies to integrate crypto into real operations, especially when it comes to payments and global transactions.
Because when the environment becomes predictable,
businesses can move from experimentation to execution.
