Fintech company Block is shrinking back toward its pre-pandemic size, cutting staff to about 6,000 from a Covid-era peak of over 10,000, compared with just 3,800 in 2019. CEO Jack Dorsey says AI allows smaller teams to move faster. While that’s certainly true, the reset may reflect a tougher reality: stablecoin rails are likely beginning to compress the card-based fees that fueled the company’s expansion.Block built its business on a payments system that charges merchants a percentage of every swipe. Stablecoins threaten to turn that percentage into pennies, shrinking the economic pie that acquirers and card-linked fintechs divide. That shift,…

Both remain stuck in a narrow range that has defined price action since the Feb. 5 crash, with Wednesday’s push toward $70,000 marking the upper boundary and…

Bitcoin investors could finally be taking a break from selling, relieving some downward pressure on Bitcoin — though months of consolidation will likely lie ahead, says analyst Willy Woo.“This bearish sell-down by investors seems to have exhausted,” said Woo on X on Friday. This gives the price “a reprieve to consolidate sideways for maybe a month,” or even a rebound to the mid $70,000 level, “which would likely be rejected,” he said. Bitcoin (BTC) prices have been range-bound between $60,000 and $70,000 for the past three weeks, and fell below $67,000 briefly in late trading on Thursday.Woo said his “educated guess”…
