Stablecoin Card Payments Surge 105% in One Year, Led by Latin American Deman
Miami, FL – The volume of payments made using stablecoin-linked debit and credit cards has grown by approximately 105% over the past year, according to John Timoni, head of partnerships at the stablecoin infrastructure firm Rain. Timoni shared the data during a panel discussion at the Consensus 2026 conference in Miami, highlighting a rapid shift in how digital currencies are being used for everyday transactions.
Stablecoin Cards: From Niche to Mainstream
Stablecoin cards allow users to spend digital assets like $USDC or $USDT at any merchant that accepts traditional card payments. The card issuer converts the stablecoin into fiat currency at the point of sale, enabling seamless transactions without the volatility associated with other cryptocurrencies. Timoni noted that the growth is particularly pronounced in regions with unstable local currencies or limited access to traditional banking.

Electric Coin Company CEO Zooko Wilcox, the key figure in the company responsible for the development of Zcash (ZEC), officially announced a development roadmap through 2027 that could become a turning point not only for ZEC, but for cryptography as a whole.

Quick overview

XAU/USD closed the week at $4,715, maintaining a position above the critical $4,700 level after recovering from a low of $4,501.

Key economic reports this week, including April CPI and PPI, are expected to significantly influence gold prices.

If CPI is below 3.0%, gold could rise towards $4,828, while a hot CPI above 3.5% may strengthen the dollar and test gold's support levels.

The transition to new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh on May 15 could bolster gold demand due to expectations of more accommodative monetary policy.

XAU/USD finished the week at $4,715, making a small gain and holding above the important $4,700 mark after recovering from a low of $4,501. The week ahead is busy, with April CPI on Tuesday, PPI on Wednesday, jobless claims on Thursday, and Jerome Powell’s final day as Fed Chair on Friday. Each of these events could affect gold prices.

Crypto conferences filled venues and dominated social feeds in 2025, but fresh traffic data suggests the hype barely translated into meaningful audience growth for crypto media outlets. Crypto conference season was noisy last year. The booths were full, the panels were stacked with premier speakers, and the side events and parties ran late. Social feeds made it look like the entire digital asset market took over conference halls and parts of major cities. So we asked the obvious question: did any of that noise actually make it into the traffic charts? To check, our latest Outset Data Pulse analysis tracked monthly visits across 274 crypto and Web3 media outlets in Asia and the United States from January 2025 through March
2026. How the conference effect was measured This report was not a basic surface-level comparison of total traffic during event months. Rather, every website was measured against its own normal pattern, not the rest of the market, because it doesn't make sense for a small regional outlet to compare against a large global publisher. At the same time, a 10% move at one outlet may be normal, but a 10% move at another would be highly unusual. That's why we used the z-score approach: each outlet's traffic was converted into a z-score, which shows how meaningfully different a given month was for that specific outlet. A score near zero means the month was normal, while a higher score means the month stood out from the outlet's own baseline. The charts comparing conference months with non-conference months make
the contradiction easier to understand.
Conference season looks intense from inside the industry, but on the traffic chart, the bars barely separate. The U.S. saw almost nothing while Asia looked better,

Federal Reserve’s Bowman says regulation is pushing corporate lending out of banks and into shadow lendersThink of it like a water balloon. Squeeze one side, the other side bulges. That, in essence, is what Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman told attendees at the Hoover Institution on May 8: a decade of post-crisis banking rules has squeezed corporate lending out of regulated banks and into the hands of private credit funds and other nonbank lenders.

The numbers tell the story cleanly. Banks held 48% of the corporate lending market in 2015. By 2025, that figure had fallen to 29%. The difference didn’t evaporate. It migrated to entities that operate with far less regulatory oversight.

Aave announced that the recovery process regarding the rsETH crisis has entered its second phase. The protocol stated that the attacker positions opened after the April 18th vulnerability were completely liquidated on Aave V3 on May 6th.

According to the statement, a vote had previously been held to return approximately $71 million worth of ETH, previously recovered by Arbitrum DAO, to Aave users. However, these funds had been temporarily frozen by plaintiffs who held a decision in a lawsuit against North Korea.
