Bermuda has announced a partnership with WalletConnect to expand cryptocurrency payments across the island, marking a significant step towards becoming a crypto-friendly jurisdiction.
The integration will utilize WalletConnect Pay, which supports the 
Stellar blockchain through LOBSTR, providing a platform for businesses and consumers to transact in cryptocurrencies.
Premier Tickets is slated to be the first merchant to adopt the system, with a targeted launch in the second quarter of 2027. This integration will enable direct fund transfers from customers to organizers, bypassing the need for intermediaries like PTIX to hold payments.
The move comes as the total crypto market cap remains around $2.76 trillion, with 
Bitcoin experiencing a slight 0.51% decline in the past 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
Stellar (XLM), the blockchain underpinning the WalletConnect Pay integration, has seen its Total Value Locked (TVL) rise by 19.7% in the past week to $129.01 million, according to DeFiLlama. XLM is currently priced at $0.170826, up 0.66% in the last 24 hours.
Since this brief published about 1 hour ago, Stellar (XLM) has moved from ₹16.28$0.1708 to ₹16.29$0.171 — +0.07%.
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 Token Times'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 ≈ ₹17.95 (about $0.171), up 0.9% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 10.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
