Block, the payments firm led by Jack Dorsey, has rolled out a new Bitcoin payments option that is available to about 4 million Square merchants, allowing businesses to accept Bitcoin at checkout and offering promotional fee relief to sellers. Related Reading: Trump Media Takes $55M Hit As Bitcoin Holdings Surge In Value Reports have disclosed the rollout began on November 10, and it targets Square’s existing merchant base in the US. Block Enables Bitcoin For Merchants According to company notices and trade reporting, merchants can accept Bitcoin payments directly at the point of sale, with transactions able to settle over the Lightning Network to speed up confirmation times. The feature also includes automatic conversion options so sellers can choose to receive fiat or hold BTC. our sellers can now receive btc to btc, btc to fiat, fiat to btc, or fiat to fiat. https://t.co/NnLsd3fgEb — jack (@jack) November 10, 2025 Fees And Conversion Rules Based on reports, Block will not charge processing fees for Bitcoin payments through January 1, 2027; after that date a fee of roughly 1% per transaction is expected to apply. Some pieces also say merchants may be allowed to convert up to 50% of daily card sales into Bitcoin automatically, giving businesses an easy way to build a crypto position from routine revenue. The current rollout is focused on the US market, with certain regions such as New York excluded for now. Adoption at scale is the key test. Getting a payment method into the Point of Sale does not guarantee customers will use it. Reports point out that many of the 4 million merchants are active sellers on Square, but uptake will depend on consumer demand, merchant settings, and how easy the checkout flow feels to shoppers. Early coverage notes that Block is highlighting the lack of chargebacks and the lower friction of Lightning to persuade smaller stores to try Bitcoin. Technical and regulatory issues were also called out. Some outlets mention limitations tied to local rules, the need for anti-money-laundering checks, and the strength of Lightning routing for small payments. Accounting and tax treatment remain practical concerns for merchants weighing whether to keep Bitcoin or convert to fiat immediately. Block has said it will integrate conversion tools to help with volatility management. Related Reading: Trump’s Bitcoin Bet Grows: American Bitcoin Now Holds Over 4,000 BTC Merchant Uptake And Market Impact Analysts and industry writers say the move could push Bitcoin further into everyday commerce if customers and shops begin to prefer it for routine purchases. If even a fraction of the 4 million sellers enable Bitcoin, the network will see more real-world payment use. Still, adoption will likely be gradual, and results will be visible only after merchants run the feature for a few months. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Dogecoin is attempting to stabilize after a sharp shakeout, and one technician argues the market just telegraphed its line in the sand. In a weekly chart shared on X, independent analyst Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) highlights a “solid bounce” from the weekly 200-EMA and a swift move back into the year’s dominant trading range. At press time on the chart, price sits near $0.1828, with the blue 200-week moving average rising just beneath the market around the $0.16 handle. Is This The Local Dogecoin Bottom? Kevin’s framework is straightforward and level-driven. He points to $0.202 as the immediate pivot on a three-day closing basis. Reclaiming $0.202, he says, would put DOGE back above the macro 0.5 Fibonacci retracement and simultaneously back over the 3D 200 EMA/SMA, creating the conditions for “upward momentum” if Bitcoin also holds its own above $106,800. The weekly 200 EMA has preserved Dogecoin’s bullish structure six separate times since last summer. It’s still rising and, for now, remains the bulls’ final line of defense. Above that, the primary framework is a tight, upward-tilting channel bounded by two yellow rails, with multiple circled touches validating both support and resistance along the way.Price printed a long downside wick into the lower rail, then bounced, effectively defending the channel and the 200-week average in the $0.16 area. Related Reading: Dogecoin Momentum Returns: $1 Target Back In Play, Says Analyst That reaction returned DOGE into the previously mapped range whose key horizontal levels are stacked in close succession: $0.24, $0.26, $0.285, and $0.305 overhead. These coincide with prior weekly turning points marked on the chart, as well as repeated taps of the rising upper trendline during the summer and early autumn. Below, the chart calls out a sequence of backstops that matter if the bounce fades. The green horizontal sits around $0.14, with deeper weekly shelves marked at $0.09 and $0.05. That ladder of support is reinforced by remnants of an older, broader down-sloping trendline whose underside now tracks just under the recent wick; those legacy trendlines are still drawn and intersect beneath current price, explaining the aggressive bid that appeared on the weekly flush. The upside roadmap remains equally explicit. A sustained reclaim of $0.202 on three-day closes is the trigger Kevin is watching; above that, the market confronts layered supply across $0.21–$0.24, then the more consequential range highs into $0.285 and $0.305. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bull Run Ends If Rally Doesn’t Start Now, Analyst Warns Higher-timeframe Fibonacci bands and historical weekly levels continue at $0.42, $0.54, and $0.74, all plotted on the right-hand scale for context, but Kevin’s emphasis is squarely on the near-term reclaim and the moving-average confluence around $0.202. In short, the weekly bounce off the 200-EMA (~$0.16) kept DOGE inside its year-long channel and preserved a constructive pattern of higher lows. Whether that bounce evolves into trend continuation now hinges on the $0.202 reclaim on the three-day chart—Kevin’s chosen confirmation level—and, in his view, on Bitcoin maintaining strength above $106,800. Until then, DOGE remains range-bound, with buyers defending the lower trend line and sellers repeatedly prevailing at the upper trend line. Via X, Kevin wrote: “Solid bounce for Dogecoin off of the weekly 200 ema back into our weekly range that we have traded in for most of the year. Along with BTC reclaiming 106.8K you want to see DOGE reclaim the .202 level on 3D closes which would get you above the macro 0.5 Fib and the 3D 200 ema/sma. For BTC and Doge that could create some upward momentum if done.” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.17678. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
