- Bermuda Partners with WalletConnect to Boost Crypto Payments Infrastructure — this brief
Bermuda has announced a partnership with WalletConnect to expand cryptocurrency payment options across the island, according to Crypto Economy. This move is part of Bermuda's broader strategy to establish itself as a leading crypto-friendly jurisdiction.
The integration will be facilitated by WalletConnect Pay, which supports 
Stellar payments through the LOBSTR platform. This development is significant for Stellar, which has seen a 19.8% increase in total value locked (TVL) over the past week, reaching $129.11 million.
Premier Tickets is slated to be the first merchant to adopt the new payment system in Q2 2027. The integration will enable direct fund transfers from customers to organizers, bypassing the need for Premier Tickets to hold payments.
While the initial focus is on integrating Premier Tickets, the broader objective is to achieve island-wide adoption of crypto payments. This initiative could potentially attract more businesses to accept cryptocurrencies, further integrating digital assets into Bermuda's economy.
The total cryptocurrency market cap remains around $2.76 trillion, with 
Bitcoin experiencing a slight 0.51% dip in the past 24 hours. Despite this, the Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The chart plots XLM's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XLM ≈ ₦236.44 (about $0.171), up 0.9% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
