Visa partners with WeFi to enable direct stablecoin spending from self-custody wallets on Visa’s network, bypassing exchanges and pressuring banks’ FX roles. Summary Visa has partnered with WeFi, an “on‑chain bank” founded by Tether co‑founder Reeve Collins, to let users spend stablecoins from self‑custody wallets directly on the global Visa network. The rollout begins in select markets across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, with expansion conditioned on local regulatory approvals and a focus on “regulated stablecoins appropriate for everyday transactions.” By embedding stablecoins into Visa’s payment rails so settlement happens in the background, the partnership directly bridges DeFi liquidity to millions of merchants and puts pressure on banks’ traditional role in FX and settlement. Visa’s new partnership with WeFi is designed to make stablecoin balances in self‑custody wallets spendable anywhere Visa is accepted, without users first moving funds through centralized exchanges or bank accounts. WeFi describes itself as a “de‑bank” and “on‑chain bank,” offering both self‑custody and custodial wallets plus card rails, and now tying those directly into Visa so that stablecoin funding and fiat settlement happen behind the scenes while the front‑end looks like a normal card payment. Stablecoins plug into Visa without parking on exchanges According to a report from Yahoo Finance, Visa and WeFi will “enable users to utilize stablecoin‑backed balances through familiar payment options,” a model executives frame as merging “on‑chain banking” with Visa’s global network. Mathieu Altwegg, Visa’s head of product and solutions for Europe, said the objective is to “connect new value forms to payment experiences that people are already familiar with, all while adhering to existing regulatory frameworks.” You might also like: Block opens its Bitcoin treasury to public veri

Bitcoin 2026 Conference Exposes a Growing Rift Between Wall Street and Early Adopters
The Bitcoin 2026 Conference drew more than 40,000 attendees to The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas from April 27 to 29, but the institutional-heavy speaker lineup sparked a sharp backlash from early adopters who accused the event of abandoning its cypherpunk origins for corporate suits and regulators.

The Bitcoin 2026 Conference at The Venetian Resort exposed a widening tension that has been building since institutional adoption began reshaping who holds Bitcoin. The ad-hoc-news.de reported that while the event’s speaker list reads like a roll call of institutional power, early Bitcoin adopters were voicing sharp criticism on the conference floor, arguing that an event built around regulator appearances, corporate treasury panels, and ETF product showcases has abandoned the counterculture ethos that built Bitcoin as a tool to route around exactly those institutions.

Bitcoin 2026 Brings Wall Street and Cypherpunks Into the Same Room but Not the Same Vision

As crypto.news reported, the event had surpassed 30,000 registered attendees before opening and welcomed more than 40,000 across the three days with over 500 speakers on multiple stages. The institutional footprint was impossible to miss. SEC Chair Paul Atkins used the conference to unveil Project Crypto, a Commission-wide initiative to modernize securities rules for digital assets and establish a new token taxonomy classifying most digital assets as non-securities. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel appeared in a fireside chat titled “Code is Free Speech: Ending the War on Bitcoin,” framing Bitcoin development as protected speech and signaling reduced enforcement pressure. Simon Dixon, an early Bitcoin investor and inaugural conference speaker, was less celebratory. “Let’s face it, this Bitcoin conference is compromised. Bitcoin is open source code. It’s a big mist
