Crypto news snapshot (Sat, Mar 28, 2026)

1) Payments / Stablecoins

Reports say Mastercard is acquiring BVNK in a major deal focused on stablecoin infrastructure. This highlights growing interest from large payment networks in stablecoin rails.

2) US spot crypto ETFs (flows)

Recent market coverage indicates spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows after several weeks of inflows, and spot Ether ETFs also had net outflows. This can affect short-term sentiment, but it doesn’t necessarily dictate longer-term trend.

3) Mining industry shift

Multiple outlets note some Bitcoin miners are pivoting toward AI/HPC revenue streams due to profitability pressure post-halving, including funding capex by reducing BTC holdings in some cases.
