Stablecoins are not a crypto trend anymore. They're becoming the new rails for finance on chain. We discussed it with : @auloap from @KaiaChain @ernesto_says from @qivaliseu @TomyVE1 from @VaultedgeFi Hosted by our own @YannApB ! And it's one you don't want to miss. 👇 PS : @chloooooeii from @UnitasLabs got cursed by the X Spaces tech issues we all faced once. But we'll hear her next time ! 😇

@FabiusDefi Living the CT dream 😎 balancing research, freedom, and alpha hunting all in one timeline.

What I like about being a full-time CT❓ > working from anywhere, fully in control of my own schedule. > being early to new tech waves, AI keeps helping me reduce working time while increasing productivity. > staying updated with major global macro trends → making better-informed investment decisions in such a defining period of history. > scrolling CT, tracking key market movements, and hunting for alpha. > there are still hundreds, thousands of projects building and launching with attractive incentives. A single airdrop can equal a full year of a 9–5. > connecting and talking with people who share the same mindset and direction. > joining events, both online and IRL, and collecting project merch as proof of contribution.

@dfinity This is exactly the kind of innovation that’ll make compliance feel empowering instead of restrictive, can’t wait to see how Cloud Engines evolves.

Data sovereignty is becoming a core requirement for internet infrastructure: developers need to be able to choose jurisdiction and data locality. For example, under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), organizations must control where user data is processed and stored. This is a very real regulatory pressure companies face across Europe around data residency and sovereignty. Cloud Engines will provide the flexibility and customizability that businesses are finding increasingly crucial.

@levva_fi Discipline always beats hype

The bull run will reward capital that stayed structured. Not capital that chased narratives. Levva keeps your allocation disciplined through every phase. levva.fi

@zothdotio @base Congrats to the team! Excited to see how fast you hit that first $5M milestone 💎

zOPAL Early Access is LIVE on @Base! We’re kicking off our Pre-Deposit Expression of Interest (EOI) Campaign, your chance to secure priority access before the vault opens and be part of the first $5M TVL milestone. Register Now: app.zoth.io

🔥 Huge milestone from @tempo: Mainnet is live and they just dropped the Machine Payments Protocol, an open standard co-authored with @stripe for the agent-payment era that’s about to overtake human payments. The biggest takeaway? Builders can now ship agent-native rails that are truly extensible and payment-agnostic, no more custom hacks for every use case. At HyperNest, we’re accelerating exactly these kinds of teams, like @UnitasLabs powering stablecoin settlement and @VaultedgeFi turning yield into everyday utility, so payments can finally move at internet speed.

Congrats to @CashmereLabs on being selected as a @Circle 2026 Grant recipient! 🎉 Your work building developer-first tools on USDC is exactly what’s needed to bring the global economy fully onchain. This is a massive validation for the team and a real win for the entire stablecoin ecosystem. Keep killing it! 🔥

🌟Growth Without Hype: How DeFi Projects Survive Bear Markets Most DeFi teams chase vanity metrics and die when incentives stop. @pedromoic (co-founder, @moic_digital) just dropped the exact playbook that built Aave, Uniswap & Pendle: - Real metrics > inflated TVL - Build for the bear, scale for the bull - Pendle went from $15M → $13B because the market came to them “The next Pendle is being built right now… is that you?” Full breakdown + framework 👇

@Hercules_Defi Crazy how fast RWA is scaling, feels like every week there’s another major fundraise or launch, the institutional wave is definitely here 🔥

The RWA markets continue to heat up 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘔𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘦𝘻𝘻𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘰 𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 $100𝘔 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵, 𝘙𝘞𝘈 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 These are some new developments that happened in RWA the past few days: 👇 ----------------------------- ➢ @GoMaestroOrg has officially launched Mezzamine, the first Bitcoin-native credit market for the mining economy, deploying its inaugural program with Sazmining ----------------------------- ➢ @Theo_Network has received $100 million for a structured investment facility backing its yield-bearing stablecoin, thUSD, underscoring growing institutional appetite for digital dollars tied to alternative yield sources beyond US Treasurys. ----------------------------- ➢ 200+ tokenized US stocks now live on @solana. $650B in stablecoin volume in February alone. As Solana clocked its 6th yeah, it is becoming the Wall Street's settlement layer. ----------------------------- ➢ @PayPal is rolling out its U.S. dollar–backed stablecoin, PYUSD, to users in 70 markets worldwide. Consumers can buy, hold, send and receive PYUSD directly in PayPal accounts and transfer it to external wallets. ----------------------------- ➢ @MetaCompHQ, a Singapore-based FinTech building a unified Web2.5 payments and wealth management platform, has completed its Pre-A+ funding round, bringing the cumulative total raised to $35m across two rounds in the space of three months. ----------------------------- ➢ @dtcpay_official raised $10M in Series A funding led by Temasek-backed Vertex Ventures. The company secured a Luxembourg EMI license to offer regulated payment services across the EEA. ----------------------------- ➢ @kucoincom has announced the listing of Matrixdock Gold (XAUm), adding a tokenized gold asset to its spot lineup. Each XAUm token is backed 1:1 by 99.99% purity LBMA-accredited physical gold. ----------------------------- ➢ Ironlight Group has raised $21 million in a Series A funding round as it looks to expand infrastructure for issuing and trading tokenized securities in the U.S. ----------------------------- ➢ @StraitsX is now supporting @pionex's scaling journey through the integration of Dedicated Virtual Accounts (DVA). This innovation simplifies automated reconciliation, eliminates pooled account complexities. ----------------------------- ➢ @KASTxyz, a global financial platform built on stablecoin rails founded by former Circle Executive Raagulan Pathy, has raised $80 million in a Series A funding round co-led by QED Investors and Left Lane Capital ----------------------------- ➢ @hodlwithLedn has closed a $188 million asset-backed securities (ABS) issuance backed by its portfolio of Bitcoin (BTC)-collateralized retail loans, marking what the company describes as an industry first. ----------------------------- ➢ @Paxos crossed $8 billion in total issued asset market cap, up over 500% year-over-year. The $8 billion sits across three core products deployed on six chains. PYUSD is live on Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum One, and Stellar. Which did i miss? Lemme know in the comments 👇

@wirexapp It still reacts, just differently, each halving feels more priced in but always sparks a fresh wave of hype and speculation.

The last 5% of Bitcoin will take the longest to mine. > 20M $BTC have already been mined > less than 1M $BTC left to go > the next Bitcoin halving is expected in ~750 days > the last Bitcoin is projected to be mined around 2140 Do you think the market still reacts to halvings the way it used to?

@EliBenSasson Feels like the energy’s picking up again 🫡

Is it time for crypto summer?

@DeFi_Dad @edge_pod @TheiaResearch Love this take, surviving the bear really does separate builders from tourists.

🎙️ New @edge_pod is out! 🐻 "Bear markets are where you make all your money, right? You just don't know it at the time." 🫡 The Founder of @TheiaResearch shares with us his optimism on a longer 4-year liquid token bear market finally coming to an end and why they're deploying.

Big one from @worldnetwork: AgentKit is live, the new AI agent toolkit powered by World ID + the x402 protocol from @coinbase & @Cloudflare. 👇 Now any agent can prove it’s backed by a real human (anonymously & privately), while developers get free, spam-protected endpoints for tickets, trading, or any onchain interaction. For DeFi founders & builders: this is the trust layer the agentic economy has been missing. Verifiable human-backed agents = no more Sybil floods killing protocols, just real autonomous trading, portfolio, or payroll bots that actually work. The infrastructure for AI-native DeFi just leveled up. Who’s building with it first? 👀

Everyone talks about scaling Ethereum. But confirmation time might be the real UX bottleneck. Research like single-slot confirmation aims to bring confirmations down to ~13s. If it works, that could massively improve DeFi UX, bridges, and onchain payments.

@EliBenSasson @Zcash @StarkWareLtd Full circle moment, amazing to see how ZK keeps unlocking the next phase of blockchain innovation.

This is an important fact: Blockchains need to solve Scale and Privacy. The solution to both is ZK. And true: my journey in the blockchain-sphere started with Privacy (co-founding @Zcash), then it shifted to Scale (co-founding @StarkWareLtd, building StarkEx and Starknet), and now it's coming back to Privacy (built on @Starknet ).

@Jackhaldorsson Wild how fast the landscape keeps shifting, feels like every few years the whole playbook gets rewritten.

I got into crypto marketing 6 years ago I come from a web2 e-com background and this is the biggest difference vs web2 marketing vs web3 marketing - attribution - fake metrics - vibes?? been a few crazy years, and we're now entering the era of ai marketing which we're building out with @LunarStrategy

@sandeepnailwal This hits hard

F**k learning. I’m honestly tired of people coming to me saying, “I want to do something where I can enhance my learning and excel.” My answer is always the same: Stop trying to learn. Start doing. Learning is wildly overrated when it becomes an activity by itself. The people who become great at anything didn’t sit around trying to “learn.” They built things. Broke things. Tried things. Repeated things. Learning wasn’t the goal. It was the side-effect. So instead of asking: “What should I learn?” Ask: “What should I start doing today?” Do things you enjoy. Do things obsessively. Do things repeatedly. Learning will take care of itself.

@VaultedgeFi @HydrexFi 10% on a stable pair with extra points? Might be time to park some USDC there 👀

Provide liquidity to the USDVE/USDC stable pool on @HydrexFi and earn oHYDX emissions + Points. Current APR: 10% Low volatility. Steady yield. Airdrop eligibility.
