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 Block, a survey by CoinShares of 261 wealth management professionals in Europe shows that 52% of UK wealth advisors indicate that most of their clients' crypto asset exposure is outside their management scope (with a management gap exceeding 50%), while the overall percentage in Europe is one-quarter.The report points out that this "management blind spot" is primarily driven by company policies rather than a lack of advisor knowledge or client demand. In companies with explicit restrictions or a lack of internal guidance, the proportion of advisors actively recommending crypto assets is only 1%, while the management gap reaches 34%; in contrast, in companies with clear support, the recommendation rate is 48%, and the management gap is only 4%.The survey also found that the changes advisors most want to see are regulatory recognition of digital assets as a mainstream asset class (45%) and access to exchange-traded products (ETPs) (43%), rather than purely educational training.Currently, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has proposed allowing authorized funds to hold up to 10% in crypto ETPs, and the European regulatory environment is gradually shifting towards support, which may help narrow this management gap.

The approval and growth of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have influenced the rebound in retail participation.

Coinbase and Glassnode's latest global investor survey shows that over 70% of cryptocurrency investors believe Bitcoin is currently undervalued, with 82% of institutional investors and 70% of non-institutional investors thinking the market is in the "late bear market" or "value retracement phase."

CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu's Bitcoin Combined Market Index (BCMI) recently rose from 0.26 to 0.37; this index combines MVRV, NUPL, SOPR, and market sentiment, and historically corresponds to a phase of deep undervaluation for Bitcoin. Additionally, the realized market cap ratio of short-term holders from 1 week to 1 month has dropped to 3.91%, close to the level when Bitcoin was around $27,000 in October 2023. Analysts believe this indicates a significant decline in market speculation activity, suggesting that Bitcoin may be entering a "value accumulation range."

Documents declassified last Friday show that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's lawyer suggested a possibility during a meeting with the Justice Department in January: Powell may continue to serve on the Federal Reserve Board after his term ends in May—this would be a precedent-breaking decision.These documents are part of materials from a case in which the Federal Reserve is trying to block subpoenas issued by the Justice Department regarding Powell's handling of the renovation of the central bank's Washington headquarters. Last Friday, a district court judge ruled in favor of the Federal Reserve, blocking those subpoenas.During the debate opposing the Federal Reserve's motion, a Justice Department lawyer stated that during a meeting on January 29, Powell's lawyer told U.S. District Attorney Jeannine Pirro: "The Chairman (Powell) believes that if he is still under investigation, he would not leave the Board even if his term has ended; and while he cannot assert the contrary, if he is no longer facing a criminal investigation, the Chairman's image would be different, at which point the Chairman would be able to freely make decisions focused on family."

According to CoinDesk, a survey by the crypto tax platform Awaken Tax shows that over 50% of U.S. crypto investors are concerned about facing IRS penalties this year.New regulations require brokers like Coinbase to report all digital asset transactions for 2025 to the IRS using Form 1099-DA to combat tax evasion. The IRS will obtain internal exchange data for the first time and compare it with taxpayer filings. Founder Andrew Duca pointed out that the rule equates crypto assets to stocks, but the actual operation is complex: users often transfer assets between multiple wallets and interact with DeFi, while brokers can only report sales proceeds and cannot provide the tax basis (purchase cost), resulting in incomplete forms. Taxpayers need to supplement cost information themselves using Form 8949. Currently, the crypto tax compliance rate is below 20%.

A Bank of America (BofA) survey in February showed that investors' bearish positions on the dollar have fallen to the lowest level since 2012, with dollar allocations at a historically low level.Traditionally, a weaker dollar is usually favorable for risk assets like Bitcoin, but the report noted that since the beginning of 2025, Bitcoin has shown an unusual positive correlation with the dollar index, with a 90-day correlation coefficient rising to 0.6 at one point. Analysts believe that if this correlation continues, further declines in the dollar may not be beneficial for Bitcoin and could instead put pressure on it; conversely, if the dollar rebounds due to short covering, Bitcoin may rise accordingly, and market volatility could significantly increase.
