Amazon and Walmart Consider Issuing Their Own Stablecoins

In recent years, stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to a stable asset like the U.S. dollar—have emerged as powerful tools for fast, low-cost digital transactions. Now, imagine if giants like Amazon and Walmart began issuing their own branded stablecoins. These mega-retailers already sit at the crossroads of commerce, logistics, and digital innovation. Issuing a proprietary stablecoin could give them unprecedented control over payment systems, customer data, and even parts of the financial ecosystem. But such a move also raises thorny issues about competition, privacy, and monetary policy. Let’s explore the potential benefits and drawbacks of Amazon or Walmart entering the stablecoin game.

Crypto has the potential to revolutionize the world as much as the Industrial Revolution, transistors, computers, or the internet did. And it is still in its infancy. But it is still possible for regulations to try to strangle the infant in its crib.

BTC-ROC-5-24

Applying the ROC to Crypto

Our ROC system is very good at spotting major turning points in the market. So this month we adapted it to look at Bitcoin and Ethereum. While doing this we changed the look of how we do ROC, so we will be adapting the regular ROC charts to the new style as well. The advantage of this new look is that you can see the underlying index at the same time, so you can see exactly where the various signals kicked in and how it evolved from there. Also, I think the new look is much cleaner and less cluttered.
