PANews reported on October 17th that Bloomberg News reported that Cantor Fitzgerald LP is facing immense pressure to pitch Tether Holdings to investors at a potential $500 billion valuation. If Tether achieves its target and raises approximately $15 billion, the investment bank's stake in Tether could be worth as much as $25 billion. More than a year ago, the New York investment bank purchased convertible bonds from Tether for over $600 million, which gave it a 5% stake. A successful transaction would not only enrich Tether's founders but also generate substantial gains for Cantor, potentially reaping tens of billions of dollars in returns. The terms of the share sale are still in flux. It is unclear what valuation the transaction might achieve, or whether the bank would be allowed to convert the bonds into equity and sell some of its holdings to new investors.PANews reported on October 17th that Bloomberg News reported that Cantor Fitzgerald LP is facing immense pressure to pitch Tether Holdings to investors at a potential $500 billion valuation.

Ranking the “XRP Killers”: Why Digitap ($TAP) Takes the #1 Spot for 2025
The post Ranking the “XRP Killers”: Why Digitap ($TAP) Takes the #1 Spot for 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP opted for the banks-first approach with a long list of impressive partnerships. But a decade later, and no meaningful volume executed has seen a new cohort rise up. Consumers-first is how the new projects are positioning themselves. Stablecoins own the cross-border narrative, and Ripple is being pushed out of the spotlight. The project that turns these digital dollars into everyday money will take the crown. Here’s the 2025 ranking for ‘XRP Killers’—and why Digitap ($TAP) sits on top. 1. Digitap ($TAP)—The world’s first omni-bank with Visa, Apple Pay, and Google Pay live.2. Stellar (XLM)—A cross-border network with steady enterprise integrations. 3. Remittix (RTX)—A remittance-focused newcomer aiming to bring stablecoin flows into everyday payouts. Why XRP Never Worked XRP always targeted correspondent banking, not consumers. The story sounded incredible a decade ago, but stablecoins have changed the game. Dollar-pegged assets that run on faster rails than the XRP ledger with broader distribution. XRP’s vision has failed, but the cross-border payment disruption trade is still very much open. But in 2025, adoption matters, and the products that make digital dollars usable in ordinary life will be the biggest winners. 1) Digitap ($TAP): World’s First Omni-Bank with Growing Distribution Digitap is built to make every form of money behave the same. No more siloes, no more juggling multiple accounts, just all forms of value together on a single interface. Fiat, stablecoins, and crypto sit inside a single balance, and thousands of users have downloaded the app today and are using it to send funds. In many ways, Digitap is an interoperability layer that stitches money together. Blockchain networks and established legacy banking systems are included in the multi-rail design, meaning money can truly travel on any system. Digitaps’ AI system optimizes for speed and cost whenever a user presses send, swap, or…

The post Solana Faces Market Challenges as Digitap Aims to Revolutionize Payments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lawrence Jengar Oct 24, 2025 12:51 Solana’s price struggles below $200 while Digitap emerges as a potential leader in digital payments, leveraging AI and stablecoins for seamless transactions. Solana (SOL), a prominent blockchain platform known for its high throughput and low transaction costs, is currently experiencing market challenges as its price hovers below the $200 mark. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency industry is turning its attention toward the payments sector, with stablecoins and new entrants like Digitap leading the charge, according to CoinMarketCap. Stablecoins and Payments in Focus The market’s interest in stablecoins and digital payment solutions has been amplified by recent developments.

This move is poised to bring payments to the forefront of the financial innovation landscape. Solana’s Market Position Despite its technological advancements, Solana is facing resistance in maintaining its price above $200. The platform’s current market position highlights the shifting focus of investors towards projects that are integrating stablecoins and offering innovative payment solutions. These projects are seen as the next major growth drivers in the crypto sphere. Digitap’s Innovative Approach Digitap is emerging as a promising player in the digital payments sector. The company aims to unite banking, stablecoins, and cryptocurrencies into a single consumer app. By utilizing artificial intelligence for routing transactions and offering a Visa card for seamless payments, Digitap is positioned to make digital transactions more accessible and efficient.
