Institutional investors are showing fresh momentum in the Bitcoin spot ETF market. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $750M in inflows on a single day—the strongest performance in three months. This uptick reflects renewed appetite from institutional players seeking regulated exposure to Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, traditional finance continues to bridge the gap with blockchain infrastructure. Franklin Templeton made strategic moves by updating two of its money market funds to integrate blockchain settlement mechanisms and stablecoin reserve frameworks. The move signals that legacy financial institutions are moving beyond tokenization pilots toward operational implementation.

In parallel, major payment networks are also exploring blockchain partnerships. Visa has been actively collaborating with blockchain platforms to enhance settlement efficiency and payment capabilities, underscoring how payment infrastructure and digital assets are converging in practice.
