Robinhood Wallet and social trading app Fomo have introduced a feature that lets users buy memecoins with credit cards through Apple Pay and Google Pay without a separate KYC process at checkout, The Block reported. Chase said it is investigating the issue over concerns the feature may circumvent card issuer rules on cryptocurrency purchases. The service is built on Crossmint’s Token Checkout, which processes payments and lets users fund onchain purchases with a single tap. Transactions are processed on the Robinhood Chain network and classified under the merchant category code for digital goods media, a category that typically includes products such as audiobooks and digital movies. Because the purchases are categorized as digital goods rather than cash advances or financial product purchases, they are handled like ordinary retail transactions. That means some credit cards may offer points, miles or cashback on memecoin purchases. According to The Block, credit card networks have traditionally treated cryptocurrency purchases differently from standard retail spending, and Chase is reviewing whether the digital goods media classification accurately reflects the underlying transactions. The New York Attorney General’s office also said it is aware of the matter and is reviewing it.

With U.S. national debt nearing $40 trillion, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said investors should hold both AI-related stocks and Bitcoin to prepare for two possible paths as the Treasury addresses the debt burden. Hougan said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent faces the task of keeping economic growth above 3% while reducing the fiscal deficit. One scenario is that productivity gains from AI adoption lift growth and ease debt pressures, in which case technology stocks, particularly AI chipmakers and processor companies, would stand to benefit significantly. If growth falls short of expectations, however, he said higher inflation could become an unavoidable way to reduce the real debt burden, making Bitcoin a key hedging asset in that environment.

The U.S. SEC has proposed updates to modernize registration and reporting requirements for securities transfer agents, the biggest such rule overhaul since the 1970s, according to Crypto Briefing. The proposal formally seeks industry feedback on how blockchain-based recordkeeping and distributed ledger technology should be reflected in current rules. Crypto Briefing said the move is significant for the crypto market because the SEC is directly addressing tokenization and seeking input on how the role of transfer agents should evolve as securities trading moves on-chain.

The crypto industry is facing uncertainty ahead of a Sept. 15 Senate vote on the CLARITY Act, with growing skepticism that the bill will pass this year, CNBC reported. CNBC said the CLARITY Act would establish a regulatory framework for the crypto market, separate oversight authority between the U.S. SEC and the CFTC, and include registration requirements for businesses as well as anti-money laundering rules. It added that the bill’s original timeline fell apart after the Senate failed to hold a vote before its August recess. The main sticking points now are provisions on allowing interest on stablecoins and ethics clauses tied to President Donald Trump and his family’s crypto business activities. At the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium last month, SALT CEO John Darsie said he was personally somewhat pessimistic about the bill’s chances, adding that it was unlikely to pass ahead of the midterm elections. Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned that if the CLARITY Act does not pass before the midterms and Democrats take control of the House, regulatory conflict between Congress and the administration could continue for a prolonged period.

The venture plans to initially issue a U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin and later expand to stablecoins based on other G7 currencies, with the euro taking priority. The firms plan to offer a safe and reliable stablecoin solution built on bank-level regulatory compliance, governance, distribution networks and risk management capabilities.

Bitcoin’s correlation with U.S. stocks has fallen to its lowest level since the FTX collapse in November 2022, signaling a deeper decoupling trend, Crypto Briefing reported, citing Santiment data. The outlet said Bitcoin’s 30-day rolling correlation with the U.S. stock market dropped to as low as -0.299 in December 2025 before standing at around 0.18 in January this year. While Bitcoin had previously been classified as a risk asset due to its strong correlation with tech stocks such as the Nasdaq, it has recently shown a different trajectory. From late August 2025 to early 2026, Bitcoin’s price fell about 43%, while the S&P 500 rose about 7% over the same period. Gold prices surged about 51% during that span. Market participants pointed to ongoing deleveraging following the launch of spot BTC ETFs as a main driver, according to the report.
