Recently, there have been two industry news stories worth pondering.

First, Ctrip's overseas version has integrated TripleA's payment gateway, allowing users to pay for hotels and flights directly with stablecoins. What does this mean? It means you no longer have to repeatedly convert between fiat and crypto; stablecoins are becoming a real payment option.

On the other hand, Interactive Brokers has also opened the door—officially allowing clients to deposit and withdraw funds using USDT or USDC to fund their stock accounts. This move by traditional brokerages indicates that the regulatory status of stablecoins is gradually being recognized.

Have you also noticed that every time you go to the boarding gate before a flight, there are people frantically refreshing stock market interfaces? Many are probably thinking about whether they should pre-position their trades during the few hours without internet on the flight. Now, with stablecoins as a payment tool, the convenience of deposits and withdrawals is indeed changing traders' habits.
