#稳定币支付 Recently, prediction markets have been flooding the news. Seeing that the 2026 World Cup is expected to become a "stress test" in this field, I’m a bit confused but also very interested? 🤔

After taking a closer look at the information, I realized how important stablecoin payments play in this context—they are not just a trading tool but also a critical infrastructure that enables global users to trade seamlessly 24/7 and settle quickly. The USDC pilot by Visa and Circle, along with concerns from the European Central Bank... all of these are influencing how prediction markets operate.

I suddenly thought of a question: if stablecoin channels become increasingly restricted, will it become slower and more complicated for new users like me to deposit and withdraw funds? It seems like regulations are tightening, but at the same time, major platforms like DraftKings and Robinhood are mainstreaming these products, which feels like they are heading towards "compliance."

There’s also a particularly interesting detail—the tournaments are concentrated over five weeks, with peak pressures being extremely high. This puts enormous demands on the platform’s settlement integrity. Just imagining transaction volumes multiplying tenfold makes me a bit nervous 😅

So, how will the convenience of stablecoins and regulatory constraints ultimately be balanced? It feels like 2026 will really be a watershed moment.
