Exodus Launches XO Pay, An In-App Bitcoin And Crypto Purchase Solution
Exodus has officially launched XO Pay, a new crypto purchasing feature that allows users to buy and sell digital assets directly within the Exodus mobile wallet, and is now live across the United States. XO Pay aims to simplify the process for its users to easily purchase cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
XO Pay is powered by Coinme's Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) API platform and is a self custody Bitcoin wallet. This means customers can now purchase BTC within the wallet without going through third-party exchanges while keeping full control of their assets.
'XO Pay represents our commitment to making cryptocurrency more accessible to everyday customers,' said JP Richardson, Co-Founder and CEO of Exodus, in a recent press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine. 'By integrating the purchasing process directly into our mobile wallet, we're removing barriers and simplifying the journey from fiat to crypto, and back.'
With XO Pay, Exodus offers a self custodial way to complete Bitcoin transactions. This rollout is part of Exodus' broader mission to make digital assets more secure, as the demand for Bitcoin is increasing.
'By creating a Web2 checkout experience into a Web3 self-custody wallet, Exodus has set a new bar for crypto user experience,' said Neil Bergquist, CEO and co-founder of Coinme. 'Exodus' innovative integration of Coinme's APIs delivers the seamless in-app purchase flow users expect while keeping them in full control of their assets.'

BlackRock's $70 Billion Bitcoin Price Nightmare Just Got A Lot Worse
Bitcoin has fallen sharply since hitting an all-time high last week, down 6% despite the U.S. vice president JD Vance issuing a huge bitcoin prediction. Front-run Donald Trump, the White House and Wall Street by subscribing now to Forbes' CryptoAsset & Blockchain Advisor where you can "uncover blockchain blockbusters poised for 1,000% plus gains!" The bitcoin price has rocketed over the last two years, turbo-charged by Wall Street adoption led by the world's largest asset manager BlackRock and then U.S. president Donald Trump's embrace of the technology (with Elon Musk quietly plotting what could be a bitcoin price game-changer). Now, as fears swirl the U.S. dollar could be teetering on the verge of collapse, a serious BlackRock warning that quantum computing could pose an existential risk to bitcoin has been escalated by a Google research paper that found encryption-breaking quantum computers could be a lot closer than previously thought. Sign up now for the free CryptoCodex—A daily five-minute newsletter for traders, investors and the crypto-curious that will get you up to date and keep you ahead of the bitcoin and crypto market bull run BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink has emerged as one of the most bullish voices supporting ... More bitcoin on Wall Street, helping the bitcoin price boom. 'This is a 20-fold decrease in the number of qubits from our previous estimate,' Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney wrote, referring to the number of quantum computer qubits needed to break a public-key encryption algorithm similar to that used by bitcoin. 'If this is even remotely true, combined with everything else happening right now, the only safe trade are hard assets and, dare I say, gold,' investor Chamath Palihapitiya, a vocal supporter of bitcoin who claims to have first bought some when the bitcoin price was just $100, posted to X in response to the paper. Earlier this month, BlackRock quietly added a serious warning about quantum computing to the list of risks to its huge spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). BlackRock, which manages after around $10 trillion worth of assets for investors, spearheaded Wall Street's campaign to bring a long-awaited spot bitcoin ETF to market in 2023, with a fleet of funds debuting in January 2024. The fund now holds around 3% of the 21 million bitcoin that will ever exist, worth $70 billion at the current bitcoin price, which some have warned could be giving BlackRock outsized control over the network.

More week before dropping back. 'If quantum computing technology is able to advance […] it could potentially undermine the viability of many of the cryptographic algorithms used across the world's information technology infrastructure, including the cryptographic algorithms used for digital assets like bitcoin,' BlackRock's amended regulatory filing for its bitcoin fund read. The quantum computing risk to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has exploded recently, with tech giants including Google making strides in quantum computing research. 'At this point, no blockchain is ready to withstand a quantum attack when this becomes possible, which could very well be much earlier than 2030,' David Carvalho, the chief executive of decentralized post-quantum infrastructure blockchain Naoris Protocol, said in earlier emailed comments that warned bitcoin is 'sleepwalking into a disaster.'

Stablecoin Giant Tether To Invest Billions In Bitcoin Mining
Bitcoin mining on computer screen. Digital crypto currency, cyber money and digital banking concept ... More 3d illustration with glitch effect. Tether will invest billions of dollars in bitcoin mining over the next few years after chief executive Paolo Ardoino told the 'Bitcoin 2025' conference the company intends to surpass every operator by hashrate. On the Las Vegas main stage Thursday, Ardoino remarked that Tether will soon become the "largest bitcoin miner in the world." He went on to explain that profits from the $120 billion USDT reserve will continue to be reinvested 'heavily' into bitcoin. The company currently holds over 100,000 BTC on its balance sheet, acquired using profits not its stablecoin reserves. Back in 2023 Tether committed an initial $500 million build-out across Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador, a program that includes new substations and minority stakes in established farms. The round was the first tranche of a 'multi-billion' reinvestment pipeline, which has since continued. Engineering plans target 450 megawatts of installed capacity by the fourth quarter of 2025, enough to push the firm toward one percent of global hashrate. The war chest behind the strategy is substantial as public filings show bitcoin worth roughly $10.5 billion at current prices, and the issuer has pledged to continue to direct up to 15 percent of net realized operating profit toward additional coin purchases and hardware. Locating farms beside hydro in Paraguay, wind in Uruguay and geothermal in El Salvador allows Tether to pitch renewable generation to regulators tracking MiCA-style sustainability metrics while reducing power-purchase risk. The firm has also diversified through investments in other bitcoin mining companies such as its $100 million investment into Bitdeer. Internal projections put Tether's goal above its main competitors such as Marathon Digital's reported 25 EH/s and Riot Platforms' 21 EH/s, shifting the competitive map for public miners that rely on capital markets rather than cash reserves. Ardoino appears confident in this vision, he told the Vegas bitcoin crowd that 'by the end of this year, we may become the largest Bitcoin mining company in the world - surpassing all listed companies.' He confirmed Tether's rationale for bitcoin mining is routed in its desire to participate actively in the network. The stablecoin issuer, 'born from Bitcoin,' believes the top digital asset is 'perfect' and that gold is now the 'primitive bitcoin.' Ardoino opined, bitcoin is not 'digital gold' because gold 'does not compete with bitcoin, it competes with fiat currency.' Still, execution questions remain within Tether's strategy as ASIC supply is tight and power-purchase agreements in Latin America can be politically fragile. However, auditors won't have to consider depreciating miners sitting alongside U.S. Treasuries in the reserve mix as Tether does not use bitcoin to protect the USDT peg, it invests stablecoin profits into bitcoin.
