Visa has taken a significant step at the intersection of finance and artificial intelligence by introducing a command-line tool that allows AI agents to execute secure payments directly. Developed by Visa Crypto Labs, this system enables programmable card payments through code, eliminating the need for traditional interfaces and streamlining machine-to-machine commerce.

The tool removes the complexity of managing API keys and offers seamless integration via GitHub, allowing developers to test the system in its beta phase. With this setup, automated workflows and AI bots can complete transactions within seconds, particularly benefiting cloud services and software-based operations.

This move highlights the growing role of AI in the economy, where agents are no longer limited to processing data but are now capable of purchasing services and managing complex workflows. By aligning with emerging payment protocols and infrastructure standards, Visa aims to position itself at the forefront of the evolving AI-driven financial ecosystem.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a rule change proposed by Nasdaq, officially launching a pilot program that enables the trading of tokenized stocks. This move allows eligible investors to execute equity transactions in a digital asset format, marking a critical milestone in the technological evolution of financial markets.

Under the program, transactions will be processed through the Depository Trust Company (DTC), with tokenized shares trading on the same order books as traditional equities. Investors holding these digital assets will retain full shareholder rights, including dividends and voting power, ensuring parity with conventional stock ownership.

As the SEC adopts a more innovation-friendly stance, this development is expected to accelerate the adoption of tokenized securities and set a precedent for other major exchanges. What was once limited to niche platforms could now move toward the core of the global financial system.

A major development has emerged in the crypto derivatives space. The first officially licensed perpetual contract linked to the S&P 500 is set to be launched on a decentralized infrastructure. This product enables eligible non-U.S. investors to trade with leverage 24/7, removing reliance on traditional market hours.

Compared to conventional markets that close on weekends, this model offers continuous access, allowing investors to maintain exposure without interruption. Additionally, the ability to trade directly on blockchain without intermediaries provides a significant advantage in terms of global accessibility and efficiency.

This move underscores the accelerating trend of tokenization, where real-world assets are brought onto blockchain networks. The integration of a globally recognized benchmark like the S&P 500 into DeFi signals a structural shift in financial markets. However, experts highlight that risk management remains critical when dealing with leveraged and perpetual derivatives.

S&P 500 Moves Into DeFi: A 69-Year Financial Barrier Is Being Redefined

The introduction of the first licensed perpetual product tied to the S&P 500 on a decentralized platform is reshaping the boundaries between traditional finance and crypto markets.

A 68-page joint framework released by the SEC and CFTC marks a major turning point for the crypto market. According to the guidance, a large portion of digital assets will no longer fall under federal securities laws. This shift introduces a more predictable regulatory environment following a period of stricter enforcement.

The framework also introduces clear classifications for stablecoins, digital commodities, and various digital instruments. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that the move eliminates long-standing ambiguity and allows market participants to operate with greater clarity. As a result, both investors and projects gain a more transparent and structured environment.

The guidance relies on the Howey Test to determine whether an asset qualifies as a security, while emphasizing that assets tied to functional networks and driven by supply-demand dynamics are generally excluded. It also clarifies the status of mining, staking, and airdrops, while noting that assets marketed with profit expectations could still be classified as securities under certain conditions.

A New Era for Crypto: U.S. Regulators End ‘Securities’ Uncertainty

The newly published guidance by U.S. regulators clarifies that most crypto assets are not considered securities, effectively ending years of uncertainty in the industry.

Strong inflows were recorded into spot crypto ETFs on March 17.

Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $199.37 million, Ethereum ETFs attracted $138.2 million, Solana ETFs received $17.81 million, and XRP ETFs saw $4.64 million in net inflows. These figures indicate that institutional interest remains strong.

In the United States, the newly released guidance by the SEC and CFTC has provided long-awaited clarity on whether crypto assets should be classified as securities. The inclusion of many cryptocurrencies on the list as non-securities marks a significant milestone for the industry.

Vitalik Buterin announced a new mechanism that will enable Ethereum transactions to be fully completed within approximately 12 seconds. This development is seen as a major step forward in network efficiency.

Tally, which has provided infrastructure to over 500 protocols, announced that it will shut down operations. The company stated that with reduced regulatory pressure in the U.S., projects no longer feel the need to adopt DAO structures and are instead shifting toward more centralized models.

Market data shows that Bitcoin is trading at $74,000, while Ethereum is at $2,320. The Fear and Greed Index stands at 43, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

According to the latest announcement, PayPal USD (PYUSD) is now available in 68 additional countries beyond the United States and the United Kingdom. Users in regions such as Colombia, Peru, and Singapore can directly access and use the asset through their PayPal accounts, marking a significant step toward global adoption.

Eligible users in newly supported regions will also be able to purchase and hold PYUSD to earn rewards, although some regions are excluded from this program. The expansion highlights the asset’s advantages in cross-border payments, offering faster and lower-cost transactions compared to traditional financial systems.

Originally launched on the Ethereum network in 2023, PYUSD has since expanded to multiple blockchains, broadening its utility. Its market capitalization has surged from around $1 billion to over $4 billion within eight months, signaling strong growth momentum and intensifying competition in the stablecoin sector while reshaping the future of digital payments.

Active addresses climbed to 46,767 at the start of the week, reaching their highest level in five weeks and marking the strongest network activity since February 12.

This surge in on-chain activity was mirrored in XRP’s price performance. The asset gained around 14% within 48 hours, breaking above the $1.60 level. Analysts note that the parallel rise in network usage and price signals growing confidence, and sustained strength above $1.60 could pave the way for further upside in both network metrics and market value.

Morning Bulletin - 17.03.2026

The debate around Bitcoin (BTC) reaching the $1 million level has resurfaced in the crypto market. According to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan, such a milestone largely depends on Bitcoin capturing a bigger share of the global store-of-value market. Currently dominated by gold and government bonds, this market has expanded from about $2.5 trillion two decades ago to nearly $40 trillion today, while Bitcoin represents only around 4% of that total.

Hougan argues that if Bitcoin manages to secure a significantly larger portion of this market, its price could approach $1 million within the next decade. In his view, Bitcoin’s long-term upside is less about short-term market cycles and more about its growing role as a global store-of-value asset.

Several prominent figures in the industry share similar views. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong previously suggested that Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2030, while Block founder Jack Dorsey believes the milestone might arrive within five years. Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes has pointed to 2028 as a possible timeline. Ark Invest has offered an even more bullish outlook, estimating Bitcoin could climb to $3.8 million by the end of the decade.

Analysts note that continued institutional adoption, geopolitical tensions, weakening confidence in traditional safe-haven assets and Bitcoin’s fixed supply could all support its long-term growth. However, most experts agree that reaching the $1 million mark would likely require years of gradual adoption rather than a sudden price surge.

Analysts Agree on $1 Million Bitcoin, but Timing Remains Uncertain

The idea that Bitcoin could eventually reach $1 million is gaining traction among analysts, though most say the timeline will likely span many years.

Strategy, founded by Michael Saylor, announced that it purchased 22,337 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $70,194. With this transaction worth approximately $1.57 billion, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings increased to 761,068 BTC. The firm has been consistently accumulating Bitcoin regardless of short-term market fluctuations.

In total, the company has spent about $57.61 billion to build this massive Bitcoin reserve. Strategy’s average purchase cost stands at around $75,696, maintaining its position as the publicly traded company with the largest Bitcoin treasury. This approach reflects the growing view among institutions that Bitcoin is a long-term store of value.

Institutional accumulation is not limited to Bitcoin. Bitmine, one of the largest corporate Ethereum treasury holders, announced that it purchased 60,999 ETH last week. The development highlights that institutional investors are continuing to accumulate both Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of their long-term digital asset strategies.

Institutional Giants Accumulate Crypto: Billions of Dollars in Bitcoin and Ethereum Bought

Institutional investors continued their aggressive accumulation strategies in the crypto market, with major purchases taking place in both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the United States recorded strong inflows last week. The funds saw a total of $763 million in net inflows, marking the first time this year that they posted positive flows for five consecutive trading days. As a result, spot Bitcoin ETFs closed their third straight week with net inflows, signaling that institutional investor interest remains strong.

On the Ethereum side, a notable development came from the Ethereum Foundation. The foundation sold 5,000 ETH to BitMine, the largest Ethereum treasury company led by Tom Lee, through an over the counter (OTC) transaction.

At the same time, there are signs that demand for Ethereum is strengthening again. Whales that previously sold near the top last week have started accumulating ETH again as the price moved back toward the $2,000 level. Several new investors, including an early Ethereum developer, have also continued making large ETH purchases.

In the stablecoin market, a significant shift has taken place. USDC has surpassed USDT in transaction volume, taking the top position and ending USDT’s roughly seven year dominance in market activity.

Bitcoin is trading at $73,063, while Ethereum is trading at $2,243.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index stands at 39, indicating a fear level in the market.
