Bitcoin briefly approached the critical 200-day simple moving average (SMA) of approximately $83,300 on Wednesday but failed to break through, subsequently falling below $81,000. According to Odaily, the overall cryptocurrency market weakened, with the CoinDesk Smart Contract Platform Index dropping over 2% in the past 24 hours, marking the weakest performance among major sectors. The 200-day SMA is widely regarded as an important indicator for assessing long-term trends. If Bitcoin can maintain this level, it would reinforce the narrative that the bear market, which began in February when Bitcoin fell below $63,000, has ended and a new bull market has started. Historically, similar situations have occurred, such as in March 2022, when Bitcoin briefly broke and tested the 200-day SMA before eventually dropping to around $20,000 in June of the same year. Some analysts caution against the risk of a 'false breakout.' Marex, an analysis firm, stated that Bitcoin's ability to continue its upward trajectory depends on three factors: whether spot funds continue to chase the price, whether exchange supply continues to tighten, and whether the derivatives market remains healthy without overheating. If these three factors align, Bitcoin could quickly open up space towards the $85,000 range. FxPro's Chief Market Analyst, Alex Kuptsikevich, noted that the current pullback appears to be a temporary pause in the upward movement rather than a trend reversal. However, he also warned that the daily RSI had previously entered the overbought zone, which in past instances has been accompanied by significant pullbacks. Additionally, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has fallen from a high of 4.46% earlier this month to 4.32%, which is seen as a potential positive factor for risk assets.

Changelly has released a report highlighting significant trends in stablecoin usage, indicating a transition from trading-centric activities to everyday payments, portfolio liquidity management, and consumer spending behavior. According to Cointelegraph, the findings are based on data from the Changelly platform in 2025 and a survey conducted with over 3,000 users in collaboration with Simple. The report reveals that stablecoins are increasingly being utilized as active financial tools rather than merely trading infrastructure. The report notes that stablecoin supply exceeded $300 billion in 2025, with annual on-chain transaction volumes nearing $46 trillion. Changelly's internal data shows that 23.78% of completed transactions involved stablecoins, and stablecoin transaction sizes were approximately five times larger than those of non-stablecoin transactions. Additionally, stablecoin swap participation grew by 33% year-over-year, while flows between crypto assets and stablecoins remained balanced, suggesting users are treating stablecoins as an active liquidity layer rather than solely a defensive asset. Survey data from Changelly and Simple indicates broader stablecoin use in daily spending activities, with 60.6% of respondents reporting spending through crypto-linked cards. Average transaction sizes were around €40, with most spending concentrated in categories such as groceries and transportation. These findings suggest stablecoin usage patterns are increasingly resembling traditional debit card behavior. The report also identifies education and user understanding as significant barriers to adoption, with 58% of non-users citing lack of understanding as the primary obstacle. On May 15, 2026, Changelly will host a live discussion titled “The Rise of Stablecoins: Infrastructure Every Business Must Build,” featuring John Adam Khandjian, CGO at Changelly, and Alex Emelian, CEO and Co-Founder of Stablerail. The session will explore the evolving stablecoin infrastructure for businesses involved in international transactions. Topics will include the role of stablecoins as an onboarding layer into crypto, the shift from passive holding to active spending, and the importance of product design and user understanding in driving adoption. The discussion will include a 20-minute segment followed by a live Q&A.
