The decline capped a volatile week that saw Bitcoin lose around 12% and drop over 20% from its record high of $126,000 in early October.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Other major assets, including Ethereum and XRP, also faced steep losses. Bitcoin briefly touched $99,954 on Coinbase before rebounding above $101,000. The downturn has renewed debate over whether the long-running bull cycle is losing steam.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"tokenized-gold-gains-ground-as-investors-seek-digital-exposure\">Tokenized Gold Gains Ground as Investors Seek Digital Exposure\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Wall Street is increasingly betting on tokenized assets, with gold emerging as a key focus. As gold prices reached record highs in October, demand for blockchain-based versions of the metal surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tether's gold-backed token, XAUT, saw its market capitalization climb from $1.44 billion to nearly $2.1 billion before a recent correction. Although tokenized gold represents only about 1% of the broader tokenized asset market, momentum is growing. Analysts expect further expansion as investors look for secure, blockchain-based exposure to traditional commodities.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"tether-reports-10b-profit-outpacing-major-us-banks\">Tether Reports $10B Profit, Outpacing Major US Banks\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Stablecoin issuer Tether has posted $10 billion in profit for the first three quarters of 2025, putting it ahead of Bank of America and close to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley's results.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The company's earnings are largely fueled by returns on $135 billion in US Treasuries backing its USDT reserves. Operating from El Salvador, Tether plans to launch a new US-compliant stablecoin, USAT, by the end of the year, further strengthening its regulatory presence and market reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"mastercard-eyes-247-settlement-with-2b-crypto-deal\">Mastercard Eyes 24\u002F7 Settlement with $2B Crypto Deal\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Mastercard is reportedly finalizing a deal to acquire crypto infrastructure firm Zero Hash for up to $2 billion, a move that could bring real-time settlement to its payment network.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The acquisition would provide Mastercard with ready-made crypto custody, conversion, and compliance capabilities-eliminating the need for traditional banking cutoffs. By integrating stablecoin-based settlement into its system, Mastercard aims to enable continuous payments, allowing merchants and banks to transfer funds instantly, any time of day. While regulatory and liquidity challenges remain, the shift marks a major step toward a truly always-on financial system.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"ripple-and-mastercard-partner-on-stablecoin-card-payments\">Ripple and Mastercard Partner on Stablecoin Card Payments\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Ripple has partnered with Mastercard and Gemini to power card payments using Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD. The collaboration will enable transactions for Gemini credit cards to be settled directly on Ripple's XRP Ledger, with US-based WebBank serving as the issuing bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The initiative represents one of the first instances of a US bank using stablecoins for card settlement on a public blockchain. Mastercard's digital assets lead Sherri Haymond emphasized that the company aims to integrate regulated stablecoins to enhance flexibility and security for consumers. The partnership arrives as the US prepares to adopt its first national stablecoin law, the GENIUS Act, and as the global stablecoin market expands rapidly-expected to surpass $4 trillion by 2030.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fexchange.pointpay.io\u002Ftrade\u002FPXP\u002FUSDT\">\u003Cu>Happy trading at PointPay!\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>🔥 Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3UhCgZn\">\u003Cu>http:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3UhCgZn\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>🔥 Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3JEreHu\">\u003Cu>https:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3JEreHu\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>🔥 Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3qJrjRH\">\u003Cu>https:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3qJrjRH\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>💰 Earn up to 7% yearly with PXP \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fexchange.pointpay.io\u002Fstaking\">\u003Cu>staking\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>🏦 PointPay - all crypto services in one place!\u003C\u002Fp>",[9],{"metaTitle":10,"metaDescription":11,"canonicalUrl":20,"og":25,"twitter":26,"publishedTime":15,"modifiedTime":15},{"title":10,"description":11,"image":14},{"title":10,"description":11,"image":14},[],1793989659782]
