💳 Crypto Is Quietly Becoming Part of Everyday Life

Crypto feels calmer lately - and that’s actually a good sign. While $BTC volatility has cooled, adoption keeps moving forward in a much more practical way.

Here’s a number that puts things into perspective 👇

📊 28% of Americans owned crypto in 2025. Retail arrived early. What was missing were banks and institutions - and that slowed real-world use.

That changed over the last year. Clear rules rolled out across the EU, U.S., and Asia 🌍 Institutions stepped in. Startups began linking crypto balances to cards and everyday spending. Assets like $ETH are now part of real payment flows, not just portfolios.

Why this matters 👇

• 1.4B people worldwide are still unbanked

• In some regions, only 10–20% have access to banking

• Cross-border payments can cost 10%+ in fees

During phases like this - when markets are calm but infrastructure is growing - usage becomes the signal. That’s also why activities built around real spending stand out. WhiteBIT is currently running a Nova card campaign tied to TradingView and real-life rewards.

Sometimes adoption isn’t loud. It just works.
