The post Texas Buys Bitcoin Dip: $5M of the Allocated Budget of $10M  appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Texas has become the first state to purchase Bitcoin (BTC) as a hedge against inflation. Lee Bratcher, the President of the Texas Blockchain Council announced that the state bought $5 million worth of Bitcoin on November 20, 2025.

Notably, the State announced that it allocated half of the budget meant to purchase Bitcoin to BlackRock’s IBIT. The state scooped its BTC holding at an average price of $87k

Texas Doubles Down on Bitcoin

Texas has aligned with President Donald Trump’s commitment to make the United States the global crypto hub. The State has been implementing a strategic Bitcoin treasury through the proper legal channels year-to-date. 

Under Governor Greg Abbott, Texas has transformed into a crypto-friendly state leading other states peacefully. The state is currently only allowed to invest in Bitcoin since the law states that the average market capitalization over the prior 24 months must exceed $500 billion.

Why is the BTC Price Still Down?

Bitcoin price has suffered low bullish momentum as more whale traders remain reluctant to buy the dip. However, CryptoQuant’s analysts believe that the Bitcoin price has already formed a local bottom and is well-positioned to rebound in the near future. 

CryptoQuant noted that although Bitcoin holders with more than 10k and those with between 100 and 1k in account balance have been accumulating, the group of Investors with between 1k and 10k coins has been distributing.  As such, until Bitcoin price consistently closes above $92k, a more choppy outlook is likely in the near term.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
