Hello and welcome, here are the major events in the crypto and web3 world that took place yesterday.
Visa drops a game-changer in major event
In yesterday’s major events, Visa finally rolled out direct settlements with USDC, Circle’s solid dollar-pegged stablecoin.
Now US card issuers, whether big banks, fintech startups, or even crypto firms, can pay their Visa dues straight in USDC. It’s all about those instant, round-the-clock transactions that never sleep.
Circle boss Jeremy Allaire called it a massive step for real-world adoption.

This move bridges old-school payments with crypto in a way that’s hard to ignore, pushing stablecoins further into the heart of finance.
Binance considers a strategic shuffle in the US to up its game
News has it that co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao might dial back his big ownership stake to smooth over hurdles in key American markets.
Sources told Bloomberg that CZ’s control has been a real sticking point for expanding into certain states. There are no firm decisions yet, but talks are heating up, and things feel pretty open-ended.
On top of that, Binance is chatting about teaming up with BlackRock and the DeFi spot World Liberty Financial, which has ties to President Donald Trump.
Another major event in Bitcoin courtesy Jensen Huang
And if that wasn’t enough excitement, a clip of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang went viral, flipping the script on Bitcoin’s energy debate.
Huang didn’t bash mining as pure waste; instead, he painted it as smart, turning leftover electricity into something valuable you can carry anywhere: currency.
He put it simply: Bitcoin grabs excess power that’d otherwise vanish and locks it into a portable form of money, letting you shift value across the globe without loss.
Coming from a tech titan like him, this take challenges years of criticism about proof-of-work being inefficient, especially when miners tap into unused renewables. It’s a fresh angle that’s got the community fired up, seeing mining as a clever way to capture and move energy.
There you have it. These major events wrapped up an epic day in crypto, proving the space is evolving quicker than ever.
