Enterprise Adoption Gains Momentum Through Product Expansion

Coinbase announced it will launch the Coinbase One Card in fall 2025, offering up to 4% back in Bitcoin for every purchase. This transfer will encourage everyday use of cryptocurrencies with adoption incentive systems. The card is anticipated to promote a smooth connection with the user’s wallet and advanced spending utility.

Meanwhile, Shopify has also entered into a strategic partnership with Coinbase and Stripe to accept payment in $USDC stablecoins. The partnership will give merchants more crypto payment alternatives, allowing digital assets to bridge the divide with conventional e-commerce infrastructure. Combined, these efforts point to a wider usability and payment infrastructure focus within the industry.

Mercurity Fintech, a Nasdaq-listed firm, has also announced its plans to raise $800 million to empower its Bitcoin treasury. This funding round is an indicator of the rise in public companies becoming more exposed to BTC as a balance sheet diversification play.

Small-Cap Tokens Register Isolated Gains

Some small-cap assets stocked up in spite of the generally weak market. The biggest memory peaked MEVerse ($MEV) with a 103.7 percent gain over the last 24 hours. Everdome ($DOME) was next with a gain of 26.4 percent, abetted by a resurgence of investor interest.

Other big movers are SIGMA (18 percent), ALON (11.2 percent) and PPT (10.7 percent). These gains are notable against a background of red in most large-cap cryptocurrencies and indicate a restricted yet specific interest in high-volatility tokens.
