FX.co ★ Trading Recommendations for the Cryptocurrency Market on February 25

Bitcoin has recovered to around $66,000 after a significant drop to $62,600. Ethereum has also returned to the $1,900 level, where it is currently trading.

While volatility in the cryptocurrency market remains high and the risk of further decline remains, Meta, a giant in the world of social media and metaverses, is preparing to storm the crypto market again, planning to launch payments using stablecoins in the second half of 2026. This ambitious move signifies an era of integrating digital currencies into the ecosystem of the largest social platform, which reaches billions of users worldwide.

Central to this new initiative will likely be the company Stripe. According to recent data, Stripe is being considered as the main provider for implementing stablecoin payments. This deal underscores Stripe's strategic vision and readiness to become a key player in the infrastructure of future financial technologies.

The new project represents a significant departure from Meta's previous attempt to enter the cryptocurrency market. In 2019, the company introduced an ambitious project called Libra, later renamed Diem. However, despite initial enthusiasm and support from several major companies, the project faced unprecedented pressure from regulators. Concerns regarding the potential impact of a private cryptocurrency on the global financial system and monetary policy ultimately led to the closure of Libra.

This time, Meta has chosen a more cautious and perhaps practical approach. Instead of attempting to launch its own token again—something that would inevitably attract increased regulatory scrutiny—the company decided to act through a third party. Collaborating with Stripe, which has strong positions in the payment industry and already possesses expertise in stablecoins, appears to be a well-considered move.

Regarding the intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to focus on significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating the ongoing development of a long-term bullish market that has not yet vanished.

As for short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are described below.
