According to Fortune, global payment giant Visa is accelerating its layout of stablecoin infrastructure by launching the Visa Stablecoin Platform, which helps banks and fintech companies integrate stablecoin payment capabilities into existing payment and fund management systems.It is reported that the platform aims to provide stablecoin service support for approximately 15,000 financial institutions and over 200 million merchants globally, allowing businesses to use USD stablecoins for settlement, fund circulation, and financial management within traditional payment networks.Visa currently processes about $150 trillion in payment transactions annually and has handled stablecoin settlement business worth billions of dollars. The company hopes to further expand the application of stablecoins through the new platform. The Visa Stablecoin Platform will initially support the new stablecoin OUSD launched by the Open Standard Alliance, while continuing to be compatible with existing stablecoins supported by Visa, including USDC issued by Circle and USDG issued by Paxos.Visa believes that stablecoins are becoming an important component of future financial infrastructure, with advantages including: instant settlement, transactions that do not rely on traditional bank clearing cycles; low-cost transfers, reducing payment costs based on blockchain networks; and transparency and traceability, with on-chain transaction records providing higher verifiability. Visa has been continuously laying out its strategy in the stablecoin field. In 2020, Visa became the first global payment network to support USDC settlements; in 2025, the company launched a stablecoin settlement program to further promote stablecoins into the mainstream payment system.Meanwhile, Visa's competitors are also accelerating their entry into the stablecoin market. Mastercard recently launched a stablecoin settlement solution and collaborated with companies such as MoonPay and Paxos; American Express is also participating in the ecosystem development related to Open Standard. As traditional payment giants increasingly adopt stablecoins, stablecoins are gradually transforming from payment tools in the crypto industry to an important component of global financial infrastructure.

According to the second quarter industry report from the Australian cryptocurrency exchange Swyftx, the global gig and freelance payment market is expected to reach $2.1 trillion by 2033, with AI-native practitioners contributing $775 billion.Under the assumption of approximately 33% adoption rate, Swyftx's benchmark model predicts that $262 billion of this will be settled through stablecoins. Swyftx's Chief Market Analyst Pav Hundal stated that micro-enterprises with fewer than five people are becoming the fastest adopters of AI, giving rise to a group of independent entrepreneurs operating cross-border and invoicing at high frequencies, currently numbering about 6 to 10 million globally, expected to increase to 17 million within a decade.Traditional cross-border payment fees are high and settlements take several days, while transferring stablecoins via Ethereum Layer 2 networks can reduce costs by 80% to 90%. Swyftx added that if the predictions come true, the institutional settlement layer providing off-exchange liquidity, custody, and yield services for these payments could capture up to $1.3 billion in new revenue by 2033. The market capitalization of stablecoins has doubled in the past two years, with June trading volume reaching a historic high of $1.79 trillion.

According to The Block, Humanity Protocol founder Terence Kwok publicly responded for the first time after the project suffered an attack of approximately $36 million, stating that the team will reduce its focus on blockchain and decentralized identity projects and shift towards enterprise-level AI products and services.Kwok stated that the attack originated from the developer's device being compromised, rather than a smart contract vulnerability; the probability of recovering the stolen funds is low, and the current focus will be on token migration, claims and compensation processes, as well as subsequent business reconstruction.

The latest report from payment infrastructure company Cybrid shows that the adoption of stablecoins by enterprises is accelerating towards becoming mainstream. Among the 468 corporate executives and business leaders surveyed, as many as 42% of companies are already using stablecoins for cross-border payments, and 88% of respondents indicated they are very likely to adopt them within the next 12 months, while only 2% of respondents said they would rely entirely on traditional payment networks.Data shows that companies using stablecoins save an average of 35% on cross-border payment costs; for large enterprises processing over $100 million monthly, cost savings can reach up to 47%. The most common use cases for companies using stablecoins are: payroll disbursement, vendor payments, and customer payments. In addition, 71% of respondents emphasized that clear regulatory policies (such as the recently passed stablecoin regulatory bill GENIUS Act in the U.S.) are the most critical factor driving their expansion of stablecoin usage, with its importance even surpassing the level of infrastructure improvement.With the growth in demand, the supporting infrastructure in the industry is also continuously expanding. Data from payment platform Paybis shows that in the first four months of 2026, B2B transactions accounted for nearly 98% of the total stablecoin payments on its platform. This Monday, Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) also announced the expansion of its digital asset custody platform, allowing institutional clients to store and circulate Circle's USDC directly through the bank.

According to the "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily," at the 2026 Volcano Engine Force Conference, ByteDance officially released the latest flagship version 2.1Pro of the Doubao large model. Tan Dai, President of Volcano Engine, stated that the model has made breakthroughs in four dimensions: code delivery, long-range Agent tasks, multimodal understanding, and enterprise-level stable operation, possessing stronger engineering delivery capabilities and being capable of handling complex R&D tasks for enterprises. At the conference, ByteDance CEO Liang Rubo also emphasized that the company will focus on enhancing large model capabilities and firmly invest in MaaS (Model as a Service) business.The report pointed out that ByteDance's AI strategic focus is clearly shifting towards enterprise-level services. Currently, the daily token call volume of the Doubao large model has reached 180 trillion, an increase of over 1500 times since its release, and has grown more than 10 times in the past year. However, due to the bottleneck in monetization on the consumer side and high expenses (with daily computing costs reaching tens of millions and daily revenue below one million), ByteDance has accordingly adjusted its resource allocation. Meanwhile, the video generation model Seedance, primarily aimed at the B-end, has validated its commercialization potential, with current annual recurring revenue (ARR) reaching 2 billion dollars, effectively offsetting Doubao's computing costs. In addition, the new version of Seedance will also be the first in the industry to launch a 3D white membrane preview feature.

About 1,200 small and medium-sized enterprises have joined the Japan National Business Enterprise Pension Fund (located in Okayama City), which plans to start investing in cryptocurrencies in the fiscal year 2026. There have been some cases of Japanese companies investing in crypto assets, but it is still relatively rare for domestic pension funds to participate directly in crypto investments.The fund plans to allocate about 1% of its total assets to cryptocurrencies and will do so indirectly by investing in passive funds managed by large hedge funds that include various crypto assets. In terms of asset allocation, its structure for the fiscal year 2025 is: 80% yen, 15% US dollars, and 5% other currencies. In the fiscal year 2026, it plans to adjust to: a reduction of yen to 70%, an addition of 10% allocation to developed country currencies, and the remaining 5% allocated to emerging market currencies, gold, and crypto assets.The main purpose of this adjustment is to diversify exchange rate risk. The fund's executive director, Ai Kuchi, stated that the status of the US dollar as a global benchmark currency may be weakening, which is why they decided to reduce their holdings in US dollars. At the same time, he pointed out that the correlation between Bitcoin and the US dollar index is almost zero, making it a tool for hedging against currency depreciation risk and enhancing the portfolio's ability to withstand inflation.

According to LatePost, ByteDance is adjusting its AI resource allocation strategy, shifting its focus from consumer-facing products like "Doubao" to products that serve enterprise clients. This change is partly influenced by the high operational costs of AI and challenges to existing business models.It is reported that "Doubao" has over 200 million daily active users, but due to the enormous computational costs associated with inference and multimodal capabilities, it incurs daily expenses of tens of millions, while its monetization channels, such as e-commerce, generate less than one million daily. In contrast, ByteDance's video generation model Seedance demonstrates strong profitability. Thanks to its efficient MoE architecture (200 billion parameters) and relatively low reliance on inference computing power, Seedance 2.0 currently has a gross margin of 70%, with the vast majority of its revenue coming from enterprise clients, and its current annual recurring revenue (ARR) has reached 2 billion dollars.Insiders reveal that ByteDance's large model data review team has expanded to over 3,000 people this year, primarily to clean training data for programming models. Meanwhile, the MaaS business of Volcano Engine has also been placed in a more important position, with ByteDance's top management setting a goal to increase revenue tenfold and accelerate international expansion. Additionally, ByteDance executives recently visited Anthropic, which has achieved significant growth in both revenue and valuation through enterprise-level AI programming services, providing a reference for ByteDance's strategic adjustments.
