William Attardi on February 5, 2026

When the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots face off this Sunday for Super Bowl LXat Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, both teams will be hoping to break some football records. But another type of record could be set in the wake of the big game: Super Bowl Monday could set a record for the second straight year for U.S. employees who plan to miss work, according to UKG’s annual Super Bowl Fever Absenteeism Survey. An estimated 26.2 million employed Americans say they will miss work the day after the big game, surpassing 2025’s record-setting 22.6 million employees and potentially costing upwards of $5.2 billion in lost work and productivity.

What Are Stablecoins and How Do They Work?

Stablecoins are less volatile than other cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) and due to crypto assets’ inherent instability, stablecoins are growing in popularity with both crypto and traditional markets. Stablecoins are a type of crypto asset, but one that offers a way to bridge the gap between fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar and cryptocurrencies. Because they are price-stable digital assets that behave like fiat but maintain the mobility and utility of cryptocurrency, stablecoins are a novel solution to crypto volatility: price stability is built directly into the assets themselves.  There are four primary stablecoin types, identifiable by their underlying collateral structure: fiat-backed, crypto-backed, commodity-backed, and algorithmic stablecoins.  What Are Stablecoins and How Do They Work? | Gemini
