Global payments giant Stripe is building what it calls the "AWS for money," and crypto tech is at the center of that plan.

Speaking at the RWA Summit in Cannes, France, Adrien Duchâteau, Stripe's head of crypto go-to-market, said the company is now integrating stablecoins and blockchain across its core payment stack as it looks to modernize how money moves globally.

"We’re putting product by product more of our stack onchain," he said.

The move builds on the firm's long, if uneven, history with crypto. Stripe was one of the earliest major tech companies to embrace bitcoin , enabling BTC payments as early as 2014 before pulling back in 2018 as volatility made it impractical for merchants, Duchâteau said. The company returned in 2021 with a dedicated crypto team, betting that the underlying technology had matured enough to support real-world use, he added.

The Trump administration announced Thursday that New York will lose $73.5 million in federal highway funding after the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found the state has refused to revoke nearly 33,000 commercial driver’s licenses issued to immigrants whose legal status had since expired, in this latest Trump administration news on federal funding as a policy enforcement tool. Summary Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said FMCSA audited 200 sample records and found that more than half contained significant problems, such as licenses remaining valid long after the holder’s authorization to be in the country had lapsed. Governor Kathy Hochul’s office called the action a baseless attack on blue states, noting that New York issues CDLs under federally issued rules and that audits from the first Trump administration supported its practices. The DOT also warned that an additional $147 million in federal funding could be at risk if New York remains out of compliance, and threatened to bar the state from issuing any new CDLs if it does not revoke the flagged licenses. Trump administration news this week showed federal funding being used as a direct enforcement lever against a Democratic-led state. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Thursday that a FMCSA review found New York had defaulted to issuing eight-year commercial driver’s licenses regardless of the immigration status or expiration of legal presence documents of the applicant. The state was ordered to review all such non-domiciled CDLs last year and revoke any issued in violation of federal law. It has not done so, Duffy said, which triggered the funding hold. “I promised the American people I would hold any state leader accountable for failing to keep them safe from unvetted, unqualified foreign drivers,” Duffy said in a Thursday press release. “My message to New York’s far

#A U.S. trade tribunal sided with Apple on Friday, rejecting Masimo Corporation's push to reinstate an import ban on Apple Watch. The U.S. International Trade Commission chose not to review an earlier judge's ruling that Apple's redesigned smartwatches no longer violate Masimo's patents covering blood-oxygen monitoring technology, effectively closing the case at the commission level.Masimo, now owned by Danaher, retains the option to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington. The company declined to issue a public statement following the decision. Apple, however, was vocal in its response. "We thank the ITC for its decision, which ensures we can continue to offer this important health feature to our users," the company said, adding that Masimo had spent over six years pursuing legal action, with nearly all of its claims ultimately failing.The legal battle between the two companies stretches back years, rooted in Masimo's allegations that Apple poached key engineers to gain access to proprietary pulse-oximetry technology used for measuring blood oxygen levels. That dispute led to a significant setback for Apple in December 2023, when the ITC blocked imports of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 after determining they infringed Masimo's patents. To sidestep the ban, Apple temporarily disabled the blood-oxygen feature before reintroducing a redesigned version last August following clearance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The updated watches now display blood-oxygen data on paired iPhones rather than directly on the watch face.Masimo continues to fight on multiple fronts. The company has separately challenged Customs' approval of the redesigned devices and is pursuing Apple in California federal court for patent infringement and trade-secret theft. That case yielded a $634 million jury verdict against Apple in November, a ruling Apple has vowed to appeal.Gold is meant to be a ‘safe haven’ in uncertain times. Why is it crashing

Unexpected Statements from Iran in the U.S.-Iran War – “Under the Current Circumstances, the Strait of Hormuz Cannot Remain Open”


As diplomatic talks continue regarding a possible agreement in the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US, noteworthy new statements have emerged from Tehran.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf strongly criticized the US administration’s rhetoric and sent clear messages regarding the ongoing disputes over the Strait of Hormuz.

Ghalibaf intensified his criticism of Washington, arguing that all seven claims made by US President Trump in a short period of time were “false.” The Iranian official explicitly stated that the Strait of Hormuz would not remain open if the current naval blockade continued.

Ghalibaf also stated that passage through the strait would not be entirely free, arguing that ship traffic would only take place via “designated routes” and “with Iran’s permission.”

On the other hand, developments throughout the day increased uncertainty on the ground. Although Iranian Foreign Ministry officials stated that the strait was open, it was reported that 10 to 20 ships attempted to pass through, but the vast majority turned back. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reportedly maintained that the strait was still closed.

According to diplomatic sources, the Tehran administration informed mediators that it would restrict ship passage and impose certain fees during the ceasefire process. Iran also categorically denied allegations that it would transfer enriched uranium to the United States.

Another development regarding the negotiations has emerged from Tehran. According to information based on sources close to Iran, the Iranian government has not yet reached an agreement with the US on the next planne

Bitcoin Breakout Confirmed, But Is It Real Or A Bull Trap?

Bitcoin has confirmed a breakout from its macro downtrend on the linear chart, signaling a potential shift in broader market structure. However, with the price now sitting at a key resistance zone on the logarithmic chart, uncertainty remains. The coming sessions will be crucial in determining whether this move develops into a sustained bullish trend or a potential bull trap.

Macro Breakout Signals Possible End Of Bear Cycle

Historically, Bitcoin bear markets conclude once the price begins to steadily climb above the macro downtrend on linear charts. Following yesterday’s daily close, Scient notes that we have officially confirmed a breakout from this primary trendline. This shift in market structure has prompted a strategic search for high-potential setups across various altcoins.

Despite the linear breakout, the question remains whether this move is a genuine trend reversal or a temporary deviation. While the linear chart shows a clear breach of resistance, the log chart tells a different story. Currently, the price is sitting exactly at a major resistance level on the logarithmic scale.

The validity of this move depends heavily on how the price reacts to these overlapping levels in the coming sessions. If this move turns out to be a fakeout, the price will lose momentum quickly. In that case, Bitcoin would likely fall back below the linear resistance.

To confirm true strength across both linear and log perspectives, the price needs to push into the mid-$80,000 region. Holding that level for several daily closes would effectively flip the macro structure from bearish to bullish, turning all subsequent price dips into high-conviction buying opportunities for long-term investors.

A fresh analysis from CoinGecko indicates that the cryptocurrency market has entered a sustained "crypto winter" in the first quarter of 2026, reversing much of the momentum seen in late 2025.

According to the report, total crypto market capitalization declined by more than 20% in Q1 2026. Trading activity also weakened sharply. Spot volumes across the top 10 centralized exchanges dropped to $2.7 tril for Saved down from $4.5 trillion in the previous quarter, a steep 39% decline.

Bitcoin reflected this broader weakness, falling 22% over the same period. This came despite having reached an all-time high of roughly $126,000 six months earlier.

Notably, Bitcoin underperformed traditional equity markets during the same period. The NASDAQ Composite declined 7.1%, while the S&P 500 fell 4.8%, marking their weakest quarterly performance since 2022.
