Western Union plans stablecoin prepaid card for inflation-stricken nations

CFO Matthew Cagwin told the UBS Global Technology and AI conference that the money transfer giant will offer the product in regions where local currency devaluation reduces purchasing power.

Argentina, where inflation hit 200% last year, was Cagwin's example. Remittance recipients in rapidly devaluing economies might benefit from the dollar-denominated card.

Western Union issues stablecoin Visa cards with Rain. The partnership lets Rain customers convert digital assets in wallets to local currency at Western Union outlets.

The company is establishing digital asset network on-ramps and off-ramps to eliminate banking system dependence and speed fund settlement. “We’re working with several providers to build this infrastructure,” Cagwin said.

Euro Stablecoin Market Doubles to $680M A Year After MiCA

Decta reports that euro-denominated stablecoins rose to $500 million by May 2025 after MiCA's June 2024 rollout due to clearer issuer obligations and consistent reserve rules.

CoinGecko estimates the market at $680 million. However, USDT and USDC dominate the $300 billion US dollar-backed token market, which dwarfs the market.

A few issuers drove most of the expansion. Stasis' EURS grew the most, 644% to $283.9 million in October 2025.

Circle and Societe Generale's EURC and EURCV also rose as regulated issuers took advantage of MiCA's clarity on custody, reserves, and public disclosures.

EURC and EURCV lead the jump, rising 1,139% and 343%, boosted by increased use in cross-border payments, fiat on-ramps, and crypto trading pairings, formerly dominated by dollar stablecoins.

Public interest appears to be rising with the regulatory adjustment. Search activity increased 400% in Finland and tripled in Italy, according to Decta.

As euro-denominated tokens gain traction in Europe's digital-asset environment, smaller economies showed increased interest, implying consumer awareness.

Poland's crypto sector's drive to comply with the EU's MiCA framework failed when MPs failed to reverse President Karol Nawrocki's veto of a significant digital-asset measure.

Poland became the only EU member without a MiCA-style regulatory framework when the vote failed to reach three-fifths majority, forcing the government to restart the legislative process.

The bill was needed for national security, according to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, since unregulated crypto activity has become a vector for money laundering and foreign intervention, including covert financing related to Russia and Belarus.

Authorities have linked these worries to recent security incidents, including Polish cryptocurrency-funded sabotage plans.

The veto has strained relations between Nawrocki and Tusk's pro-EU coalition.

The president rejected the bill because it violated EU law and threatened human liberties and property rights.

Bitcoin “Liveliness” Indicator Rises, Signaling Bull Cycle Continues

The “elegant” long-term chain activity indicator measures the ratio of coins being transacted to those being retained, weighted by age.

It rises when older coins are used more and falls when long-term holders stockpile.

“Liveliness usually rises in bull runs as supply changes hands at higher prices, indicating a flow of newly invested capital,” TXMC said, noting that the ongoing upward trend contrasts with recent price action.

Liveliness broke out of the corridor it was locked in from the 2017 all-time high through preceding cycles, according to Glassnode data.

The scale is much larger this time. Check highlighted that today's on-chain value flows often exceed billions, indicating one of Bitcoin's largest capital rotations. In 2017, transfers averaged thousands of dollars.

“We have seen an extraordinary volume of coin days destroyed,” Check stated. “I believe we have just witnessed one of the greatest capital rotations and changing of the guard in Bitcoin history.”
