JUST NOW: One American has tested positive for hantavirus after exposure on a cruise ship, as passengers have now returned to U.S. soil. Seventeen U.S. travelers are en route to Omaha, Nebraska, where they will remain in quarantine for 42 days, according to Fox News.

The same banks that once doubted Bitcoin are now loading up on it. JPMorgan Chase increased its holdings in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust to 8.3 million shares in Q1 2026. That’s roughly a 175% increase. A few years ago, most major banks treated Bitcoin like a speculative experiment. Today, they are increasing exposure through regulated ETFs. Here’s how big the change really is: ▫️ Then: “Bitcoin is too risky.” Now: One of the world’s biggest banks is aggressively increasing its Bitcoin ETF exposure. ▫️ Then: Institutions stayed away from crypto publicly. Now: They are quietly accumulating through regulated products like IBIT. ▫️ Then: Spot Bitcoin ETFs were just a concept. Now: IBIT has become one of the main institutional gateways into Bitcoin exposure. ▫️ Then: Retail investors drove the Bitcoin narrative. Now: Traditional finance giants are becoming major participants in the market. This is what real adoption looks like. Not hype cycles, but steady, silent accumulation from the biggest financial players in the world. Retail reacts to price, while institutions position for the long term.

Crypto card spending is the next big trend: Crypto card spending volume has surged +500% since September 2024, now running at $600 million per month. As a result, stablecoin-linked payment cards are now one of the fastest growing businesses on the blockchain, with 90% of transactions captured by Visa, $V. Visa's strategy has centered around partnering with emerging infrastructure providers which reduces reliance on traditional sponsor banks. The growth comes amid the launch of Jupiter Global which returns 4-10% cash back to crypto cards and has seen +660% MoM volume growth in April. Crypto card adoption is growing.
