Real-world crypto payments are taking another step forward as SUI and USDC go live on RedotPay’s platform. With this integration, users can now go beyond holding digital assets to actually using them in real-world transactions, directly through RedotPay’s app and crypto card system. This integration brings together the speed and scalability of Sui with the stability of USDC, creating a more practical payment experience for everyday spending. How Crypto Cards Bridge Digital Assets And Retail Payments Hong Kong-based RedotPay, a stablecoin-focused payments platform with over 7 million users, is making a major push into real-world crypto adoption by integrating SUI and USDC directly into its app and crypto card platform. Crypto analyst MartyParty has revealed on X that the update allows users to send, receive, and spend Sui-native assets directly through RedotPay.

This enables users to transact in over 100 countries and more than 130 million merchants worldwide, anywhere its card or payout systems are accepted. Behind the scenes, transactions are converted into traditional payment rails, fiat-like spending with low fees and fast settlement, powered by Sui’s high throughput and sub-second finality. RedotPay is positioning itself among the first major crypto card providers to support native non-bridged USDC on Sui, moving beyond wrapped versions to improve efficiency and security. MartyParty stated that this integration aligns with RedotPay’s broader strategy to expand stablecoin-powered global payments, while already supporting multiple assets and offering features such as P2P marketplaces and international transfers. For SUI, this represents solid real-world adoption, transforming blockchain-native assets into everyday spendable money that can be used at scale without the usual barriers of bridging or fragmentation. Revolutionary Technologies Set To Transform Finance On SUI The next chapter of finance is about to unfold, and it’s happening on SUI. According to the Sui community, two of the biggest unlocks in modern finance are on the horizon and are launching on the SUI network this year, which is a game-changer in how money moves globally.

If confirmed, this could mark the start of a potential surge in Sui’s value. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto pundit UnknowDLT has revealed that Japan has provided regulatory clarity for XRP, classifying it as a financial instrument. This comes amid predictions about the altcoin’s trajectory, including a possible rally to $10. Japan Classifies XRP Along With Stocks And Bonds In an X post, the pundit noted that Japan has reclassified crypto assets as financial instruments, meaning that XRP now has the same legal status as a stock or bond. He added that the country with the strictest crypto regulations in the world has just put XRP on par with traditional financial assets. Related Reading: Massive XRP Adoption Trend Paints The Most Bullish Picture Yet Amid this development, XRP pundit XRP Update noted that Japan was one of Ripple’s earliest strongholds. The pundit noted that, through its partnership with SBI, the company launched On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), using XRP as a bridge asset to enable real-time cross-border payments and eliminate pre-funding. Since then, XRP has continued to witness massive adoption in Japan. Crypto pundit Xaif recently noted that Japan is tokenizing payments on the XRP Ledger. Specifically, SBI and Tobu Top Tours have partnered to issue prepaid payment tokens on the XRP Ledger, which are tied to the 30 trillion yen market. Furthermore, Japanese crypto firm Rakuten Wallet has listed XRP for its 44 million users. These users will be able to buy XRP with loyalty points and can spend them across the country. This is part of an integration that connects XRP to up to 5 million merchants in the country. As such, XRP continues to see massive adoption in the country amid the token’s reclassification as a financial instrument. A Rally To $13 Still In Play For XRP Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has stated that an XRP rally to between $9 and $13 is still in play. He noted that market participants are focused on the descending triangle but are missing the bigger picture. He acknowledged that after 14 months of accumulation, the token formed this descending triangle and broke down as it statistically should. Related Reading: XRP Is At A Critical Decision Point, But Can Price Still Rally To $2? However, Egrag Crypto said that this breakdown is not a trend failure but rather a liquidity sweep inside a macro uptrend. He added that the real structure is the Bifrost Bridge and that as long as XRP is rising in this macro channel, then the trend is intact. Also, the structure is bullish while the move is unfinished, signaling a further rally to the upside. The analyst stated that triangles are short-term patterns and that channels define cycles. As such, Egrag Crypto is confident that XRP will still rally to as high as $13, with XRP still inside this macro channel. He added that a long accumulation translates to an explosive expansion. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.45, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
