My conclusion is up front: this new partnership news between Korean financial institutions and Visa is a long-term positive, but in the short term I’m fairly cautious about $BTC —I even feel like waiting for a lower price.

Honestly, having stablecoins enter the mainstream payments system is definitely a good thing, especially with a major Korean financial institution pairing up with Visa at this level. The theme is very solid, and it’s also easy to imagine people thinking, “Traditional finance is finally taking it seriously.”

But the market isn’t cooperating right now.

$BTC is still around 79182. It’s down on the day over the past 24 hours, and the futures contract trading volume is about 9.7 times that of the spot market. This feels like a room full of people using leverage to chase sentiment—no matter how good the news is, it’s easy for it to be used first as a volatility catalyst. 😅

I just got off work and came back to Tiantongyuan; even my delivery food has gone cold. DouDou is sitting in front of the monitor, looking completely indifferent. I can’t say this setup doesn’t make me feel the same way.

Visa and banks negotiating stablecoin deployment means the industry narrative hasn’t died—it’s even moving toward more realistic payment scenarios.

But the issue is: narrative becoming real doesn’t mean the coin price will immediately get the nod, especially when the broader market itself is still unsure and acting shaky.

So I’m not bearish on the news itself. I just think it provides a mid-term confidence boost, but don’t get too carried away in the short term.

If you really make me pick, I’m standing by and waiting—let the market squeeze the emotions out a bit before acting.

The board is changing. What’s true today might not be true tomorrow. $BTC #比特币 #稳定币 #Visa
