Stablecoins Hit $10T Monthly Volume, MetaMask Launches Tokenized Stocks & Galaxy Posts $482M Loss.

The Rollup

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The "Neo Finance" paradigm is solidifying, blending TradFi assets with DeFi's capital efficiency and transparency. This shift is not just about crypto, but about the future of all finance, with AI agents as a new class of economic actors.
  2. Invest in infrastructure and applications that bridge TradFi and DeFi, focusing on tokenized real-world assets and secure, high-yield stablecoin products. Prioritize platforms offering transparent, risk-managed yield, as institutional capital will flow there.
  3. The market's current volatility masks a profound structural transformation. Builders and investors who focus on creating seamless, capital-efficient, and AI-native financial products will capture the next wave of value, as digital assets become the default for both humans and machines.

New Fed Chair, Gold, Silver & Crypto Tank! Where Will Markets Go From Here?

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The US is pivoting from a QE-fueled, government-led economy to a "free market" model under the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh. This means a potential reduction in the Fed's balance sheet (QT) and lower rates without yield curve control (YCC), leading to decreased US dollar liquidity.
  2. Adopt a phased, data-driven allocation strategy. Michael Nato recommends an 80% cash position, deploying first into Bitcoin (65% target) at macro lows (around 65K-58K BTC, MVRV < 1, 200WMA touch), then into high-conviction core assets (20%), long-term holds (10%), and finally "hot sauce" (5%) during wealth creation.
  3. The current "wealth destruction" phase, while painful, presents a rare opportunity to accumulate assets at generational lows, provided one understands the macro shifts and adheres to a disciplined, multi-stage deployment plan.

The Crypto Community Hangover w/ David Hoffman

The Gwart Show

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Crypto's initial broad vision has narrowed to specific financial use cases, while AI and traditional markets capture broader attention. This means builders must focus on tangible value and investors on proven models.
  2. Identify projects with novel token distribution models (like Cap's stablecoin airdrop) or those building consumer-friendly applications within new ecosystems (like Mega ETH) that address past tokenomics failures.
  3. The industry is past its naive, speculative phase. Success hinges on practical applications, robust tokenomics, and competing with traditional finance, not just abstract ideals.
