Bitcoin is currently at $115,262, with a daily volume of $53 billion, remaining steady despite mixed regulatory news. Big news came from PayPal, which rolled out PayPal Links, a feature that lets you send or request payments through customizable links. Already live in the US, it will be coming to the UK, Italy, and other regions soon.
What’s notable is that PayPal is going to integrate cryptocurrencies directly into the system. You’ll be able to send Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETC) and stablecoins across wallets worldwide as easily as you move dollars today. With over 430 million active accounts, this could accelerate mainstream adoption and add real world use to digital assets.
Launching today: PayPal links
Send and receive money as easily as sending a message–just share a one-time link by text, DM, or email.
Live now in the US, and more markets soon.
Coming next: crypto support for peer-to-peer via the PayPal app—including Bitcoin, Ethereum,… pic.twitter.com/H3ZDGUBGiS— PayPal (@PayPal) September 15, 2025
- PayPal Links for Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins
- Tax exemptions for personal transfers between friends and family
- Coming to multiple global markets later this month
This makes Bitcoin’s use case go beyond speculation and creates optimism for long term adoption.
Europe Tightens Crypto Oversight
In Europe, the French regulator AMF warned it may block crypto firms licensed in other EU countries under MiCA’s “passport” rules.
They’re concerned companies could exploit softer jurisdictions. France, backed by Austria and Italy, wants ESMA to directly supervise large crypto companies so there are tighter rules and better cybersecurity.

While the short-term reaction spooked some European traders, many analysts see it as a step toward clearer, more transparent rules—a foundation for institutional confidence.
Markets continue to view stricter oversight as a net positive for long-term adoption, even if near-term volatility rises.
Strategy’s Treasury Strengthens Bitcoin Case
Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy, added another 525 BTC for $60 million, bringing its total holdings to 638,985 BTC, valued at nearly $73 billion.
Since its first $250 million purchase in 2020, Strategy has become the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with its stock (MSTR) rallying 140% in the past year. Pension funds have even joined in, using MSTR as an indirect Bitcoin proxy.

Strategy’s aggressive accumulation is reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as a corporate treasury asset, bridging the gap between Wall Street and crypto.
Bitcoin Technical Outlook: Bulls Eye $119.5K
On the charts, Bitcoin has broken out of a descending channel and is now consolidating below key resistance at $116,000–$116,750. The 50-day EMA at $114,411 is acting as support, with the 200-day EMA at $93,920 maintaining the broader uptrend.
The RSI at 56 signals strength without indicating overbought conditions, while candlestick patterns display spinning tops—indicating indecision before a potential breakout. A push above $116,750 could open the way toward $119,500, followed by $122,200 and $124,500.
Failure to hold above $114,400 risks a drop toward $112,000 and $108,250.
Below $114,400, we could drop to $112,000 and $108,250. For traders with positions above $114,500 and stops below $112,000, the target is $119,500. For long-term investors, this could be the final consolidation before another leg up and $130,000 in the coming quarters.
Presale Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) Combines BTC Security With Solana Speed
