Let’s analyze the news on the global economy and cryptocurrencies and consider economic trends together! Wednesday, October 22nd, we’ll be discussing today’s cryptocurrency news and on-chain market conditions.
This program brings you the latest news to help you with your asset formation. Let’s start by looking at 24-hour data headlines from the cryptocurrency market.
First, pay attention! OpenAI has officially released a new browser equipped with “agent-based AI.” This goes beyond a simple web browsing tool; it’s like a “brain” that actively gathers information and completes tasks.
While previous AIs were passive, responding to user instructions, this browser features “agent-based AI” that makes decisions and takes action on its own. For example, if you ask it to look something up, it will automatically browse related websites and compile the most relevant information. It’s truly the internet experience of the future.
The underlying theme is the need for efficient knowledge acquisition in an age of information explosion. OpenAI aims to dramatically change users’ daily lives and business situations with this new technology. There is excitement in the market, with some saying it has the potential to fundamentally change the way we think about search and browsing.
Next up, Ethereum has finally advanced to the final testnet stage ahead of its major upgrade, “Fusaka,” scheduled for December 3rd. This stage is the final check before full launch, and its primary focus is on ensuring stability and security.
This upgrade aims to improve Ethereum’s scalability and transaction processing capacity, and is attracting the attention of many developers and users. Past major upgrades have led to dramatic improvements in network performance, resulting in an increase in new DApps (decentralized applications).
Market observers believe that the success of Fusaka will further expand the Ethereum ecosystem as a whole, providing a tailwind for the DeFi and NFT sectors.
According to the CEO of Tether, the company’s stablecoin, USDT, is currently used by approximately 6.25% of the world’s population. This is an astonishing adoption rate and evidence of USDT’s widespread adoption as a global digital payment method.
Because stablecoins are pegged to fiat currencies and have minimal price fluctuations, they are used not only in the cryptocurrency market but also for real-world payments and asset transfers. Such widespread use also promotes financial inclusion, attracting attention in many emerging countries.
Furthermore, the US Federal Reserve recently announced a proposal to allow stablecoin issuers to access the banking system directly, bypassing banks. This could mark a major regulatory turning point.
Currently, many stablecoin issuers have limited access to banking services, resulting in challenges to stable operations and securing liquidity. However, the Fed’s proposal is expected to enable more efficient financial services while ensuring transparency and safety.
Market participants have commented that it is “positive that regulators recognize the importance of digital assets and are proactive in creating a new framework.”
Finally, Bitcoin payments are rapidly becoming a reality in the United States. Strengthening integration with existing payment infrastructure, such as the retail industry, could potentially increase daily on-chain transaction volume to as much as $2 million.
This indicates that as Bitcoin usage expands, more consumers and stores are accepting cryptocurrency payments. In particular, the development of retail payment networks is creating an environment where transactions can be made instantly and at low cost.
These trends symbolize the evolution of cryptocurrencies from a mere investment to a practical means of payment.
Let’s now summarize the psychological and economic impacts that can be gleaned from these five news stories.
First, expectations for digital transformation are rising across the market. It is clear that interest in and willingness to invest in new technologies, such as OpenAI’s agent-based AI browser and the Ethereum upgrade, is growing.
Second, progress in dialogue between stablecoins and regulators is a positive factor, providing market participants with a sense of security and increased trust. The Fed’s proposal, in particular, is an important step toward improving the health of the industry as a whole.
Third, there are clear signs of growth in actual demand, such as the expansion of Bitcoin payments, and there are signs that virtual currencies will become more deeply integrated into everyday life than ever before. However, caution is still required when introducing new technologies and responding to regulations.
