Why McDonald's is building an advertising business

McDonalds on Wednesday announced plans to create its own media network, following in the footsteps of retail giants like Amazon and Walmart.　　In August, 450 of its company-owned U.S. restaurants began displaying advertising for other companies on its digital drive-thru order boards as part of a pilot. It is early days for the program, which has not yet rolled out to the franchisees who operate the rest of its roughly 14,000 U.S. locations.　　Still, McDonalds hopes that it could eventually grow to be a $1 billion business for the company.　　“Commerce media is one of the fastest-growing areas in advertising, and it‘s expected to reach more than $100 billion in the U.S. alone by 2028,” Morgan Flatley, McDonald’s global chief marketing officer and executive vice president of new business ventures, said during an investor presentation.　　“Its an opportunity to generate revenue for the system with little in the way of additional cost, no operational complexity and no disruption to our customer experience,” Flatley added.　　The move could eventually bring McDonalds a steady stream of high-margin revenue as costs for key inputs like beef climb and as the chain plans to invest billions of dollars in restaurant upgrades over the next decade.　　In the restaurant industry, McDonalds

US Stablecoin Adoption Could Surge with Bank-Like Protections: Visa Survey

Visa released the results of a survey signaling that bank-level fraud protection and insurance could drive adoption in stablecoins for cross-border transactions among US users.　　In a survey of 2,192 US-based customers published on Wednesday, Visa said that the “adoption intention” of stablecoins among US users could climb from 36% to 56% “in a hypothetical scenario with bank-level fraud protection and deposit insurance.” The findings conducted by Morning Consult between February and March showed that Americans who were asked about financial terms like stablecoins were looking for faster and cheaper methods to send money abroad.　　Discover more　　Fintech investment reports　　Bitcoin mining hardware　　FINANCE　　“Nearly two-thirds (64%) [of respondents] say trust depends more on who offers a payment method than on the tech itself,” said Visa. “Willingness to use stablecoins rises from 36% to 45% when offered through an existing financial provider.”　　The survey posited bank-like protections for stablecoin issuers in the US at a time when companies are preparing for the enactment of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.

Silver Price Forecast: Fed hawks knock XAG/USD toward $64 support

Silver (XAG/USD) price tumbles over 3.67% on Wednesday as investors increase Federal Reserve (Fed)-hawkish bets, following remarks by several officials supporting last weeks rate hike and penciling in further tightening. XAG/USD trades at $64.59, after reaching a high of $67.52.　　XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical Outlook　　After forming a ‘head and shoulders’ chart pattern, which was later negated, the Silver price seems poised to consolidate in the $63.45-$67.50 range in the short term.　　On the upside, the first key resistance is the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $66.20, followed by $67.00. At the bottom of the range, the 50-day SMA at $63.45 is the first support, followed by $60.00.　　The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates bearish momentum, with the index below its neutral level and in an almost vertical decline. Hence, in the short-term, XAG/USD is tilted to the downside.　　Silvers first support is the $64.00 mark. A breach of the latter will expose the 50-day SMA at $63.45, followed by the September 16 low of $62.30. On further weakness, the next key support levels are the March 23 low of $61.01 and the $60.00 milestone.　　On the flip side, if XAG/USD reverses course and aims upward, the first resistance is the September 22 high of

Tokenized stocks must carry the same shareholder rights, OKX US CEO says

OKX US CEO Roshan Robert has said tokenized stocks must preserve the rights of traditional shares as the SEC begins a five-year test of blockchain-based U.S. stock trading.　　SummaryRobert said tokenization should change how shares trade and settle, while preserving their shareholder rights.The SEC requires qualifying stock tokens to carry rights matching the equivalent traditional shares.Issuers can object before an unaffiliated third partys tokenized shares begin trading under the exemption.Robert said live trading could help the SEC assess pricing, liquidity and possible changes to market rules.　　Roshan Robert, CEO of OKX US, told crypto.news that holders of tokenized National Market System stocks should receive the same rights and privileges as investors who own traditional shares of the same class. In his view, changing the technology used to trade and settle a share should not change the investors claim on the company.　　The distinction matters under the Securities and Exchange Commissions five-year trading exemption, issued on Sep. 17. Qualifying venues can use permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools to trade tokenized versions of certain U.S. listed stocks, subject to limits and other conditions. The order expires on Sep. 17, 2031, unless the SEC changes it.　　You might also like:　　Blockchain.com and NYSE explore 24/7 trading

CryptoQuant CEO: Bitcoin will rise upto 5x this cycle, 'followed by a milder bear market'

Bitcoin could rally up to over $400K in the new bull market cycle, according to Ki Young Ju, CEO of on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant.　　In an X post, Young Ju projected that BTC wont explode halfway compared to past wild rallies.　　I expect this Bitcoin bull cycle to deliver 3–5x rather than another 10x+ parabolic rally, followed by a milder bear market.　　At the current market price of $86K per BTC, that translates to a $258K-$430K price target.　　Backing his argument, the executive cited growing institutional adoption that will dampen the historical 80% dips, adding that the upside will also be capped.　　Young Ju added that the PnL Index Signal, which tracks aggregate investor profitability, has topped and bottomed out at less extreme levels compared to past trends.　　Source: CryptoQuant　　Similarly, the MVRV, another key valuation metric that typically slips below 1 (extreme distress, losses) to mark past cycle bottoms, rebounded without tagging 1 in the recent cycle.　　According to Young Ju, the past wild and explosive BTC rallies were driven by “hot money” from retail investors.　　Now, more mature players from ETFs and corporates are taking over. Interestingly, Ju believes the dampened volatility and the ensuing stability could push BTC to become real global money.　　That said, do other
