Visa's core valuation relies on global payments, cross-border, value-added services & buybacks. Stablecoins & AI payments are "narrow bypass lanes" for future shifts – defensive insurance & future options, not current growth. Full details in article. #crypto #blockchain #news

Bitcoin Suisse: AI boom & rising govt debt boosting BTC's portfolio value. Zurich, Switzerland - Bitcoin Suisse highlights macroeconomic shifts favoring Bitcoin (BTC) in traditional portfolios. Concentrated AI investments, escalating government debt, and correlated equities/bonds are diminishing traditional diversification.

While not a traditional safe haven, BTC's unique return drivers, distinct from traditional assets, can enhance portfolio diversification and risk-adjusted returns even with small allocations. This reflects a growing view of digital assets' valuable role in modern portfolio construction. #crypto #blockchain #news #BTC #Bitcoin
