Google and PayPal send signals: cryptocurrencies are the infrastructure for AI-driven commerce
Executives from Google and PayPal have strongly endorsed cryptocurrency infrastructure in the long term, pointing out that the next generation of e-commerce driven by autonomous AI agents will rely on crypto payment rails. Their core investment logic is: AI agents cannot open traditional bank accounts, which constitutes a fundamental barrier to their participation in economic activities; meanwhile, crypto networks and stablecoins address this issue by providing “machine-readable payment interfaces.” Google, in partnership with PayPal and others, launched the Agentic Payments Protocol (AP2), while PayPal positions its PYUSD stablecoin as a dedicated payment tool for this scenario—these initiatives indicate that mainstream tech companies no longer see cryptocurrencies as speculative assets but as essential underlying infrastructure for future automated economies. This could lead to a surge in demand for utility-based stablecoins and underlying blockchain networks.
Inflation concerns and weak institutional buying suppress Bitcoin
Bitcoin currently faces dual short-term pressures from macroeconomic data and market dynamics. The Cleveland Fed’s real-time forecast indicates that annual inflation may accelerate again, further reinforcing the Federal Reserve’s stance to hold off on rate cuts, generally weakening risk asset preferences among investors. Meanwhile, a major institutional buyer, Strategy, reportedly paused Bitcoin purchases due to funding mechanism constraints. The absence of this key demand source, combined with bearish technical patterns (such as ascending wedges), puts Bitcoin at risk of a pullback; if the key support level of $78,600 is broken, analysts expect its potential target price could drop to $70,000.
Canton Network developer Digital Asset plans to raise $300 million, with a16z leading
Focused on institutional markets, Canton Network developer Digital Asset is reportedly raising a round valued at $2 billion, aiming for about $300 million, led by a16z crypto.

For investors, this signals that professional capital is accelerating into infrastructure built for institutional adoption, which could propel the RWA industry’s rapid development and establish Canton Network as a key player in this sector.
