BBVA has filed a legal appeal challenging Spain's regulatory decision to block the merger integration of Sabadell, citing conditions imposed by Madrid on the proposed deal. The move follows BBVA's prior maintenance of its offer for Sabadell, even after Santander secured a similar deal, and reflects ongoing strategic and regulatory tensions in Spain's banking sector as major financial institutions pursue consolidation. The appeal is part of BBVA's broader efforts to strengthen its market position through strategic acquisitions, amid evolving market dynamics. Analysts are closely monitoring the developments, with Jefferies maintaining a Buy rating on BBVA despite the uncertainty.

Visa’s head of crypto, Cuy Sheffield, predicts a future where traditional and cryptocurrency payments coexist, as the stablecoin market reaches $269 billion, growing 62% over the past year with potential to reach $2 trillion within three years. Visa has expanded its stablecoin settlement volume beyond $200 million and launched the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform in 2024, partnering with major banks and fintech firms globally. The stablecoin market achieved $271 billion in market cap as of August 12, with significant growth in the past week. Tether leads with $164 billion, USD Coin has $63.6 billion, and Ethena USDe grew to $7.6 billion. The GENIUS Act, passed in July, mandates 1:1 cash or liquid US Treasury backing for payment stablecoins and requires monthly reserve disclosures. Western Union, Interactive Brokers, and Remitly are exploring stablecoin integration. Visa and Yellow Card Financial are launching stablecoin payments in 20 African countries, while Circle and Onafriq are expanding access in Africa. Mastercard partnered with Chainlink to enable over 3 billion cardholders to purchase crypto directly via the Swapper Finance platform. Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser has indicated the bank is considering launching its own stablecoin, projecting the market could reach over $2 trillion by 2030. Stripe is developing 'Tempo,' a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain for payments, with speculation of a partnership with Paradigm, and has launched stablecoin payments in 70 countries. MetaMask plans to launch 'MetaMask USD' via a partnership with Stripe, leveraging its 30 million monthly active users. JPMorgan remains skeptical, forecasting only $500 billion by 2028 due to weak mainstream adoption, while Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller believes stablecoins can reinforce the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency by increasing global accessibility.

Visa Inc, a global payments leader, is expanding its stablecoin settlement services under the leadership of Cuy Sheffield, its head of crypto. Sheffield’s team has partnered with major banks and fintech firms, including BBVA and Rain, to integrate stablecoins into payment systems. Visa is exploring the possibility of launching its own stablecoin and has developed the Visa Tokenised Asset Platform to enable financial institutions to issue and manage blockchain-based tokens. The stablecoin market is growing rapidly, reaching nearly $269 billion and projected to reach $2 trillion in the next three years, though daily transaction volume remains low at around $30 billion. Visa positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and stablecoins, aiming to enhance its market share rather than face disruption. The company has signed a deal with Yellow Card to explore stablecoin use in treasury operations and cross-border transfers, particularly in emerging economies. Despite regulatory uncertainty and competition from firms like PayPal and Stripe, Visa sees stablecoins as a way to expand its addressable market and improve payment efficiency.

BBVA, el segundo banco español, ha anunciado que mantiene su oferta de adquisición hostil (OPA) sobre su competidor Sabadell, el cuarto banco del país, tras una evaluación de las juntas generales extraordinarias de accionistas de Sabadell. La OPA, valorada en cerca de 15.000 millones de euros, se mantiene vigente según la normativa aplicable, a pesar de fuertes objeciones del gobierno de izquierda español y de la dirección de Sabadell. Los accionistas de Sabadell aprobaron recientemente la venta de su filial británica TSB al Santander y el reparto de un dividendo extraordinario, lo que complica la OPA porque está condicionada a que los accionistas conserven sus acciones. El banco ha reiterado que, si no se puede crear valor, retirará la oferta. El gobierno de Pedro Sánchez ha endurecido las condiciones, exigiendo que ambos bancos funcionen de forma independiente por mínimo tres años (posiblemente cinco) para evitar la pérdida de empleos y oficinas. El Banco Central Europeo (BCE) y el regulador de competencia español han dado su permiso para la operación.
