Why Crypto Gift Cards Are Becoming the Go-To Choice for Gen Z Shoppers
So, you've got some Solana sitting in your wallet, and you're wondering what to do with it. HODL? Maybe. Stake it? Could be. But what if you could turn that crypto into real stuff you actually want, like gaming credits, Uber Eats, or that monthly Netflix binge?
That's where gift cards come in, though they're not just any gift cards—we're talking crypto gift cards available on platforms like CoinsBee, which lets you buy gift cards with Solana and other digital coins in seconds.
No in-betweeners, no banks, just vibes and digital cash flow.
What Makes Gen Z Embrace Crypto for Shopping?
We're not boomers, we grew up with tech in our hands, and we're over the whole 'just use your debit card' routine. Why? Because crypto is ours. It's decentralized, fast, and it doesn't judge your 3 a.m. McDonald's splurge.
We also hate friction. If a payment method makes us wait, asks for 3 forms of ID, or charges mystery fees, it's a nope. Crypto solves all of that. It's:
Instant (bye-bye 3-day bank holds);
Private (no oversharing your life with banks);
Low-fee (especially when using Solana—yeah, we're looking at you, ETH gas fees).
Plus, with CoinsBee by our side, we can spend our crypto in a way that feels like second nature. Buy a gift card, copy the code, done.
Convenience, Speed, and Personalization in Gifting
Let's be real—half of our gifts are last-minute. Someone's birthday tomorrow? No problem. Just grab a gift card for their favorite game, app, or food spot using crypto. It's digital, it's fast, and it actually looks thoughtful (even if it took you 30 seconds).
What makes it even better? Personalization. You're not stuck choosing from a sad shelf of generic cards. On CoinsBee, you can pick from thousands of brands:
Spotify, for the music junkies;
Xbox, Steam, or PlayStation, for the gamer crew;
Netflix and Disney+, for the couch squad;
Amazon, for literally anyone.
You can even gift someone a Google Play or Apple Store card so they can pick their own poison.
Popular Platforms and Gift Card Categories Among Zoomers
We don't all spend our money the same way. But the cool thing is, CoinsBee gets that. Here's what Gen Z is actually copping with crypto gift cards:
Gaming: Think Riot Points, Roblox, Nintendo eShop—tokens of joy for the 'one more game' crowd;

Spotify, Netflix, Crunchyroll. Because silence is awkward and anime is essential; Travel & Ride Shares: Airbnb, Uber, FlixBus—so you can travel without checking if your card will decline.
It's not about what boomers think we want. It's what we actually spend on.
Security and Budget Control Features that Appeal to Young Users
Let's talk facts: scams suck. And if you've been in crypto longer than a week, you've probably seen a few rug pulls or shady DMs.
Crypto gift cards help avoid that mess. Why? Because once you grab that card code, it's yours. No bank info leaked. No sketchy forms. Just a clean, private transaction. CoinsBee even skips KYC for most purchases under $1,000, which means no awkward passport selfies.
Oh, and if you're trying to stay on budget? Gift cards are low-key perfect. Load $50 onto a Nike gift card and boom—you can't overspend. That kind of planned irresponsibility actually helps.
Predictions: How Will Gen Z Shape the Future of Crypto Payments?
Let's face it—we're already shaping it.
We're the ones turning Discord servers into DAO communities. We're paying friends back in stablecoins. We're using wallets the same way our parents used checking accounts.
So what's next?
Mainstream shops accepting crypto directly? Already happening;
Gift cards as a way to bypass crypto-unfriendly stores? That's now;
Entire friend groups splitting dinner bills with SOL? Give it a year.
If we keep using crypto for everyday purchases, the market will keep building tools for us. Platforms like CoinsBee aren't just following the trend—they're giving us the tools to spend crypto like it's fiat, but better.
TL;DR
Gen Z is done waiting on slow banks and weird fees. We want fast, private, flexible ways to spend what we earn (or trade). Crypto gift cards hit all the right notes: easy to use, secure, and totally on-brand.
So, if you've been sitting on some Solana, maybe it's time to stop waiting for the next bull run and start spending smart. Head over to CoinsBee.com and see how simple it is to buy gift cards with Solana.
No gatekeepers. No drama. Just crypto, doing its thing.

How Clear Angle Studios Is Harnessing the Power of Hollywood's Most Sought-After VFX Tech
There's a lot of talk in Hollywood about the U.K.'s production boom. Studios, it seems, are scrambling to find ways to shoot in California, keep talent stateside and claw back some semblance of industry glory that once belonged to L.A. (all while fighting off a president hellbent on terrorizing the rest of the world with his tariffs). This isn't news: It's no secret that London is benefiting from Hollywood's demise. Its 2024 production revenue topped around £5.6 billion ($7.4 billion) and streaming giants such as Prime Video, Netflix and Disney are currently expanding their U.K. offices. You've no doubt heard about the likes of Pinewood — home to 12 MCU blockbusters — or Sky Studios Elstree (Wicked, Jurassic World: Rebirth), which remain booked out and full to the brim with the most in-demand stars in the world. More from The Hollywood Reporter Israeli Missile Strike Hits Iranian State Broadcaster on Live TV Japan's Yuya Danzuka Mines Family Drama and Urban Design for Breakout Directorial Debut 'Brand New Landscape' OUTtv: They're Here, They're Queer, They're Canadian! It's a lot of numbers — X amount of sound stages or X amount of dollars invested — but what, exactly, is going on behind closed doors at these enormous movie lots? What kind of work is keeping Britain's film and TV biz thriving? The Hollywood Reporter was recently a guest of Pinewood Studios with a company that is emblematic of the industry's impressive run of form. Spoiler: they've got a monopoly on some futuristic technology. Clear Angle Studios is a leading 3D capture and processing company with offices all over the world. Headquartered at Pinewood and led by co-founders Dominic Ridley and Christopher Friend, the digital visual effects business operates in cyber scanning and photogrammetry capture. It was born out of a conversation between Ridley and Friend at a Halloween party years ago. In 2013, they kicked off with just 70 cameras and a dream. Since then, Clear Angle has come to dominate a vital field in the world of film and television, specializing in full body, face, prop and environment scanning that has undoubtedly improved some of your favorite movies and TV shows of the last 10 years. Have you wondered how Tom Cruise was capable of all his epic stunts in Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning? Or maybe why Robert Pattinson was so convincingly a set of twins in Bong Joon Ho's recent sci-fi feature Mickey 17? Ridley's the man to ask. 'We have a very good relationship with Marvel, Lucasfilm, Warners, Netflix, Apple, Amazon, MGM, Universal, Paramount, 20th Century — and we try to do as much as we can without spreading ourselves too thin,' the Clear Angle director tells THR while showcasing the scale of the company's tech. Ridley, whose career-spanning work behind the camera started in the visual effects department, is attempting to put into laymen's words how Clear Angle's ultra-high resolution facial capture system works, a rig made up of 90 individual cameras and fondly named Dorothy. 'Your big superheroes, any big face replacements or face changes, prosthetics — any weird stuff that happens close up on frame,' Ridley beams with pride about Dorothy, 'if you have an actor fighting himself or herself or you need a close up of the same people in the shot, this rig would be useful.' It's hard to describe the system's spaceship-esque structure, but with 54 Canon SLRs, 22 Sony A7R3s, 13 machine vision cameras and 497 programmable LED light nodes, you can imagine the detail it's able to capture. With the ability to reproduce an actor's exact facial performance with little to no input from an animator, Dorothy can shoot 48 frames a second. Only three of these exact rigs exist in the entire world. The other two are stationed at Clear Angle's offices in Atlanta and Culver City. But with such frantic activity in London, the Atlanta Dorothy has been shipped over to the U.K. 'There's quite a lot of shooting here, whereas there's not very much going on in Atlanta or L.A., at all, currently.' It's a 180, Ridley adds, after Europe's production plunge post-COVID and Hollywood strikes. 'Europe is getting busy,' he continues. 'The U.K. is picking up. Australia has got some great tax incentives [as well as] Toronto, but Italy, Spain, Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, they're all starting to pick up. It shows that studios are actually starting to get serious again about rolling out content. There was definitely a reset,' he says, 'and that process took time. But I feel like we're at the end of the tunnel and the light is fast approaching.' Clear Angle's other international offices cover Vancouver, Athens, Cape Town and Budapest. Worldwide, they have 18 full-body, custom-built photogrammetry rigs, each equipped with 204 cameras and 32 lights. Some of the talent to have stepped into this set-up include the cast of Lucasfilm's Andor, the recent live-action adaptations of Lilo and Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon, and even the star-studded lineup from Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine. 'If somebody's falling off a bridge or jumping out of a high-rise building, these things are just far too dangerous,' Ridley says about where the 3D full body scanning comes in handy. 'There's often a computer-generated takeover [in film and TV] where a stuntman or talent would run and just before they jump through the window, CG takes over. So, arguably, we're saving lives, right?' Clear Angle can also retrieve a digital likeness of an actor, prop, landscape or animal (Ridley says they've scanned lions, donkeys, zebras, flamingos, seals and a whole lot of horses) through a full body scan, facial capture and even voice capture. This data is then handed over to the VFX vendors to use however they like. Anyone who comes in for a scan is given 24 hours notice of exactly what the systems do and what shots they'll be used for. The talent have to give their explicit permission that they're happy to be captured. So is using this kind of technology getting increasingly difficult to navigate at a time when artificial intelligence grows more powerful by the day? Scarlett Johansson is among one of the more recent stars to speak out after OpenAI launched a chatbot with an 'eerily similar' voice to her own. She had previously turned down an approach by the company to voice the digital bot. 'When I heard the released demo, I was shocked, angered and in disbelief,' she said. OpenAI maintain it was not meant to be an imitation of the actress. 'Since the strikes, actors have certainly become far more aware of scanning and digitizing themselves and the rights and legalities behind that,' says Ridley. 'And I think that's a really good thing. Education is a good thing. I don't think studios were capturing data and using it in a negative way [before], or using it in the way that is often broadcast in the media.' 'When we've captured data for the big studios, that data has always been used only in that production, only on that film. We've been doing this for 10 years,' he continues. 'And I personally don't know where this idea — that we'd scan an extra on one show and that data would be used on other shows — has come from. That doesn't happen. That's not a thing.' Ridley's team is 'particularly studious' when it comes to data security. 'We follow security protocols for the big studios that will have very stringent protocols. And all the data is offline. There's no way you can get to it. [That's] a huge focus and emphasis within Clear Angle and other vendors within film — we really take care of the data. It's paramount for us. It's our lifeline.' Clear Angle, at the company's Pinewood base, have scanned a record 300 people in one day. It's an intricate system with a lot of moving parts in a location — a quick cab ride from London — that allows an enormous wealth of talent to come in and out, undetected and in a flash. The business scans for games, too, helping to create accurate, photo-realistic avatars of, for example, your favorite athletes. They also use drone and helicopter technology to capture entire landscapes. The gaming world is one that Ridley would like to explore further. Of course, there have been finance-related speed bumps along the way. Cameras, PCs and servers aren't cheap — Ridley says he and Friend invested a lot of their own money when Clear Angle was in its infancy, even putting a house on the line as collateral before the business took off. The instability of the industry has also proved tricky, he adds, but since 2016, with an ever-expanding employee directory including finance boss Michael Pedersen, the company has generally gone from strength to strength. And the demand in London, especially, won't let up. 'The biggest sadness that I tend to have [now] is when somebody calls me up and they say, 'Hey, great working with you — we're shooting XYZ in a couple of months,' and I have to say, 'Oh, really sorry, we're fully booked,'' Ridley says. 'I just hate letting people down like that. But it's still better to let them down that way than it is to do a poor job because you're stretched too far.' A tour of the set-up at Clear Angle's Pinewood hub feels like stepping into the future, or some top-secret lab where highly-skilled crew are toiling away in the underbelly of the film industry beast. What sets Clear Angle apart is the people, Ridley adds. 'When we work on a Marvel show, they're hiring us because the data is good, but also because they actually want to work with these people for a six-month, five-month period.' He adds: 'That's what motivates me. I'm not interested in a whole host of things — I am more interested in the tech, the facilitation and the logistics, and the people that get to be a part of the process. Those are my memories.'

New code in Spotify's app references the long-awaited ‘lossless' tier
It's been over four years since Spotify first announced its plans to launch a lossless audio tier that has yet to arrive. After numerous leaks and teases from company execs, we know better than to start hoping that the long-delayed service could be finally nearing arrival. But newly added references in the music app's code suggest the lossless service is at least still under development and could even be getting closer to launch. According to technologist and reverse engineer Chris Messina, a number of references to 'lossless' have popped up in Wednesday's build of the Spotify desktop app. These code snippets mainly refer to help cards that would appear to inform the end user about what the lossless tier offers and how to use or troubleshoot the service. For instance, one card says, 'Lossless music, now in premium,' while another describes it as the 'best sound quality on Spotify for music in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz.' Some of the cards warn users that particular songs aren't available in lossless or when their device has bad connectivity, which could affect playback. Another notes that lossless music is 'best enjoyed on devices compatible with Spotify Connect and/or wired devices.' In addition, Reddit user u/bendotlc noted that other changes were seen in the latest version of the mobile app, where the code now mentions lossless: 'Say hello to the best sound quality on Spotify. Listen to high-fidelity music in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz.' The Redditor claims the feature is actually present in the app, but is currently disabled. Of course, code references don't mean the lossless feature is coming anytime soon. As we've seen in previous years, leaks and code references have appeared before, and yet the high-quality audio tier never arrived. When asked directly about lossless and other plans for premium tiers on recent earnings calls with investors, Spotify execs, including CEO Daniel Ek, would only hint that the company was investing in premium products for 'super fans.' They wouldn't give a time frame on when these or any other higher-quality streaming options would finally launch. Most recently, Spotify Chief Business Officer Alex Norstrom told investors on the Q1 2025 call that Spotify was still investing in more premium tiers. 'Now, with regards to higher tiers, we see great potential in them as we've mentioned before,' he said. 'So creating higher tiers around new offerings is something we are working towards as it really opens up new opportunities to delight users,' Norstrom said at the time. When Spotify first announced its plans for Spotify HiFi, as it was then called, in 2021, it said that the service would offer users music in 'CD-quality, lossless audio format.' It had run tests of a lossless option in the years before this, however. Eventually, Spotify pointed to licensing issues as the reason for its delay in launching. In what could be promising news on that front, the streamer signed new deals with labels including Warner Music and Universal Music Group in early 2025, which could pave the way for the lossless tier — or so music fans hope. Bloomberg also reported earlier this year that a premium Music Pro tier would launch later in 2025, which would include high-quality streaming, remixing, and other features. Spotify declined to comment on this report.

SOL Drops Below $150 After Sell-Off Despite Growing Institutional Adoption Narrative
Solana's SOL SOL fell 4.24% over the past 24 hours to trade at $149.46, retreating from a high of $158.54 following a sharp overnight sell-off. Trading volume surged as SOL broke below $155 support late Monday, with the price eventually bottoming at $148.68 before entering a choppy consolidation around the $150 mark. Despite the short-term pressure, some institutional investors remain optimistic about Solana's long-term positioning. On Monday, Cantor Fitzgerald launched coverage of three public companies — DeFi Development Corp (DFDV), Sol Strategies (HODL), and Upexi (UPXI) — that hold SOL as a treasury asset. The firm assigned all three 'overweight' ratings and emphasized Solana's technical strength. Cantor's analysts argued that Solana has outpaced Ethereum in recent developer growth and technical performance, citing on-chain metrics that show higher throughput and lower latency. The report added that firms using SOL as a treasury asset view it as a serious contender to challenge ETH's dominance, despite ether still having a market cap 2.5 times larger. While the recent correction has erased much of the weekend's gains, SOL remains above last week's support zone. Traders are now watching whether the token can hold the $148–$150 range or if further downside pressure will emerge. Technical Analysis Highlights During the analysis window, SOL-USD dropped 7.0% from $158.804 to $147.746, forming a 24-hour range of 11.058 points. The steepest sell-off occurred between 22:00 and 00:00 UTC on volume exceeding 2.7 million SOL, breaking down through $155 support. Price later stabilized around $152 and traded in a tightening range between $151 and $154. The $152–$153 zone transitioned from support to resistance during the correction, with $148.68 marking the session low. At 07:57–07:58 UTC, price dropped from $153.118 to $152.680 on a spike exceeding 150,000 SOL in volume. Toward the end of the analysis period, SOL consolidated between $153.400 and $152.680 with declining volatility, signaling hesitation among both bulls and bears.
