Crypto payments for Thailand tourists: US, UAE, Japan and other countries that let you pay with Bitcoin, Ether, more
Financial regulators in Thailand are mulling to let foreign tourists exchange cryptocurrency in exchange of Thai Baht to make purchases across the country, in a move to enhance its tourism sector. In a recently proposed initiative, the country announced intentions of launching a crypto sandbox for its tourists, who can convert their Bitcoin into real money and purchase goods and services. While the move is aimed to woo more tourists, Thailand is not the only country that accepts crypto payments. Here are six others. El Salvador was the first country to accept Bitcoin as a legal tender in 2021, allowing citizens and tourists alike to use the crypto coin for everyday life shopping, food and travel. However, the country agreed to roll back some aspects of Bitcoin usage following intervention from the IMF. One of Eurpoe's most crypto-forward nations, Malta is often called the 'Blockchain Island'. Retailers and restaurants across the country began accepting Bitcoin as early as 2016. Tourists can also use their digital assets to book flights and accommodations in Malta. Malta's Virtual Financial Assets Act (VFAA), which was introduced in 2018, streamlines licensing for crypto companies. The United Arab Emirates, especially Dubai, has witnessed a rapid growth of cryptocurrency adoption across sectors including retail, real estate, and hospitality. Top developers like DAMAC and Emaar accept Bitcoin and Ether payments to purchase properties. Expanding the opportunity, Emirates Airlines earlier this month signed an MoU with to accept crypto payments for booking flights. The airlines will by 2026 accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital currencies for flight bookings and in-flight services. Portugal, another crypto-friendly nation in Europe, encourages adoption of cryptocurrencies via tax policies and relaxed regulations. While it is not yet a legal tender in the country, many businesses accept Bitcoin payments. Japan recognised Bitcoin as a legal payment method as early as 2017, becoming one of the first countries to do so. While most transactions in Japan are cash-reliant, some retailers, electronics stores, as well as travel agencies now accept Bitcoin for tourists and residents. With Donald Trump's crypto push, the United States is adopting digital assets more than ever, though it is not yet a uniform system yet. However, tourists can leverage digital assets while travelling within the country.

US House approves Trump's $9B cut to public broadcasting and foreign aid
WASHINGTON: The House of Representatives gave final approval to US President Donald Trump's request to claw back about $9 billion for public broadcasting and foreign aid early Friday as Republicans intensified their efforts to target institutions and programs they view as bloated or out of step with their agenda. The vote marked the first time in decades that a president has successfully submitted such a rescissions request to Congress, and the White House suggested it won't be the last. Some Republicans were uncomfortable with the cuts, yet supported them anyway, wary of crossing Trump or upsetting his agenda. The House passed the bill by a vote of 216-213. It now goes to Trump for his signature. 'We need to get back to fiscal sanity and this is an important step,' said House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. Opponents voiced concerns not only about the programs targeted, but about Congress ceding its spending powers to the executive branch as investments approved on a bipartisan basis were being subsequently canceled on party-line votes. They said previous rescission efforts had at least some bipartisan buy-in and described the Republican package as unprecedented. No Democrats supported the measure when it passed the Senate, 51-48, in the early morning hours Thursday. Final passage in the House was delayed for several hours as Republicans wrestled with their response to Democrats' push for a vote on the release of Jeffrey Epstein files.

Crypto markets rally as US clears GENIUS Act; BTC holds $120k, ETH eyes $4k
Crypto markets surged with renewed momentum after the US House passed key crypto bills, including the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, signaling strong support for broader digital asset adoption. The other bills passed include the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 and the Anti-CBDC Act. The approval of these crypto-related bills, analysts said, has boosted investor confidence and added regulatory clarity, driving strong upward momentum across the market. At last check, Bitcoin was trading at around $120,215, up 1.51 per cent, with a 24-hour trading volume of $498.7 billion. The flagship cryptocurrency has fluctuated between $117,508.22 and $120,999.61 over the past 24 hours on CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin is nearly 2.55 per cent away from its all-time high of $123,091, reached on July 14 this year. Its market cap stood at $2.39 trillion, the highest among all cryptocurrencies. Crypto markets, Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus, said, have been re-energised after the US passed the GENIUS Act, adding strength to the broader crypto adoption narrative. US-based XRP and HBAR have rallied 18–22 per cent today in anticipation of more favourable laws in the country. Edul Patel, co-founder and CEO of Mudrex, also attributed the crypto market rally to the passing of these bills in the US House. "The crypto market is gaining strong upward momentum as the US House passed key crypto bills, boosting investor confidence and regulatory clarity," Patel said. "Crypto's rally appears to have further legs, but with the total market cap approaching a milestone at $4 trillion, some profit-taking could affect it in the short term," said Subburaj. He added, "As this plays out, traders are advised to stick to altcoins which have shown strength against BTC in the past 10 days." Ethereum (ETH) eyes $4000 Ethereum (ETH), on the other hand, continued its northward rally for yet another session and was holding above $3,500 levels. At last check, it was trading with gains of 7.48 per cent at $3,595, with a 24-hour trading volume of $53.33 billion. Ethereum, Patel said, "is eyeing the $4,000 level, with solid support at $3,300." Altcoins rally According to CoinSwitch Markets Desk, crypto markets remain in a powerful altcoin-led rally, with Bitcoin holding steady around $120,000 as BTC dominance slips to 61.6 per cent, down from 64 per cent just weeks ago—highlighting that nearly 38 per cent of top-50 tokens have outperformed BTC over the past 90 days, signaling an emerging altseason. The total altcoin market cap has swelled past $1.3 trillion, driven by Layer-1 gains (SUI up 36 per cent, SEI up 41 per cent) and memecoin momentum, while risk-on sentiment spreads with trad-fi investors taking risk at a 25-year high. Among other popular cryptocurrencies, Ripple (XRP) was rallying higher by 17 per cent, and Cardano (ADA) was up 14.45 per cent. "The risks remain, as looming tariff deadlines next month could derail global liquidity and spark volatility, while procedural stalls in the Senate could delay regulatory execution," they said.
