Alchemy Pay officially confirmed that it has received a Money Transmitter License (MTL) in West Virginia, which became another important step in its rapid expansion in the United States. By February 2026, the fiat-crypto payment gateway has expanded its regulatory presence massively, and existing MTLs exist in at least 14 states in the USA.

This is the most recent success after the recent acquisitions of licenses in Nebraska and Kansas, which indicate the willingness of the company to create an entirely compliant bridge between the traditional money and the digital one.

With these state-level approvals in mind, Alchemy Pay is guaranteeing that its payment services will be safe and available to more and more American users.

Strengthening the Regulatory Foundation in the United States

The West Virginia MTL acquisition belongs to a bigger plan to expand to the entire market in the U.S. with institutional compliance.

Alchemy Pay currently has licensing in a wide range of states such as Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Such licenses are vital since they enable the company to be in a position to deal or transfer money legally on behalf of its clients. 

Through a collection of these state licenses, Alchemy Pay is establishing itself as one of the most compliant payment providers in the sector so that traditional banks and companies will easily trust their crypto integration solutions.

Expanding Global Compliance from Hong Kong to Australia

In addition to the success experienced in the United States, Alchemy Pay is actively undertaking an international compliance roadmap to enable international trade.

Recently, the company obtained an SFC Type 4 license upgrade for virtual asset advisory services in Hong Kong in cooperation with HTF Securities. This will enable them to provide expert guidance regarding digital assets in one of the most competitive financial centers in the world. 

The company is also a registered Digital Currency Exchange Provider (DCEP) in Australia and is a registered Electronic Financial Business in South Korea. Alchemy Pay is building a frictionless global network by acquiring such regional licenses where fiat currency can be turned into crypto and vice versa in a smooth manner.

The Future of Fiat-Crypto Interoperability

The difference between traditional finance and the crypto world is being bridged, as we expect in 2026 more companies to focus on the legality and compliance aspect.

Alchemy Pay’s focus on licensing issues in areas like West Virginia shows that the company is a long-term investor. They intend to simplify the purchase and sale of crypto like any other payment application. 

They have more than 14 state licenses in the United States and a rapidly expanding list of international certifications, which means they are on their way to becoming a universal gateway to the digital economy. To both the users and merchants, it will translate to a greater number of options, reduced charges, and the security that comes with the utilization of a fully regulated financial service.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
