🇺🇸 JUST IN: SEC says certain crypto interfaces, including DeFi front-ends, wallet extensions, and apps, may operate without broker-dealer registration under conditions: • No custody of user funds (self-custodial only) • No investment advice or recommendations • No order routing or execution • Fixed, neutral fee structures only • No discretion over transactions or market activity

Bifrost is moving closer to public testnet, and we’re already gathering lots of support from the Cardano ecosystem 😤 Stake Pool operators including BTBF, ADA North Pool, BCSH, EASY1 and DAVE have agreed to collaborate during testnet! Made by FluidTokens and Lantr team 🟠🔵

We just performed the first Atomic Swap between Cardano and Bitcoin in Mainnet. This means native BTC was traded for native ADA. 0.0001 $BTC swapped for 50 $ADA Bitcoin is on Cardano 🧡 ↔ 💙

All of crypto, connected to Cardano

Key benefits: ✅USDCx is 1:1 backed by USDC held in xReserve ✅Fully interoperable with USDC across supported chains ✅Trust minimized with no third-party bridges required **For the first 10 days, IOG will be covering all costs for bridging USDC to USDCx on Cardano, helping early adopters get started without fees or friction.** Learn more: circle.com/blog/usdcx-on-…

@CoinbaseSupport Feedback: 1. Have the software generate cost basis from old coinbase pro txs 2. Have software generate cost basis for stables bought on CB 3. Don't make this unnecessarily hard and then sell a product to make it easier right next to it. (Just seems disingenuous) Said kindly

Tax season…. you’re right, it’s never fun. Updating your cost basis on Coinbase is not required, but it may be helpful for when you file taxes. Read the thread below 👇

I don’t say this lightly. Cardano DeFi is entering a different phase. It comes down to one structural shift most people are still missing. Infrastructure is finally compounding. DEX liquidity. Lending markets. Wallet tooling. Analytics. Stablecoins. Privacy. This is what ecosystems look like right before acceleration. Cardano isn’t trying to win headlines. It’s building the base layer that serious capital eventually settles on. And the next leg will not be driven by speculation. It will be driven by utility.

Proud to share that Minswap has completed its MiCA whitepaper 🇪🇺 This is an important step toward regulatory clarity for Minswap and for DeFi on Cardano and a signal that decentralized protocols can engage seriously with emerging frameworks. ↓

🇺🇸 THE FED IS PREPARING TO SELL U.S. DOLLARS AND BUY JAPANESE YEN FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS CENTURY. The New York Fed has already done rate checks, which is the exact step taken before real currency intervention. That means the U.S. is preparing to sell dollars and buy yen. This is rare. And historically, when this happens, global markets surge. Japan is under heavy pressure. The yen has been weak for years, Japanese bond yields are at multi decade highs, and the Bank of Japan is still hawkish. Together, this creates stress not just for Japan, but for global markets. That is why central banks are now taking the situation seriously. Japan has already tried to defend its currency many times on its own. But it failed in 2022 and 2024. Even the July 2024 intervention only worked for short time. History is very clear on this: When Japan acts alone, it does not work. When the U.S. and Japan act together, it does. We saw this in 1998 during the Asian Financial Crisis. Japan’s solo interventions failed, but when the U.S. joined, the yen stabilized. We saw it even more clearly in 1985 with the Plaza Accord, when coordinated action pushed the dollar down nearly 50% over two years. That changed everything: The dollar weakened. Gold, Commodities, Non US markets all pumped. If the Fed intervenes, this is how it'll play out : - The Fed creates dollars, sells them, and uses those dollars to buy yen. - That weakens the dollar and increases global liquidity. - And whenever the dollar is intentionally weakened, asset prices usually surge. Now look at crypto. Bitcoin has one of the strongest inverse relationships with the dollar and one of the strongest positive relationships with the yen. Right now, BTC yen correlation is near record highs. But there is a catch. There is still hundreds of billions of dollars tied into the yen carry trade. People borrow cheap yen and invest in stocks and crypto. When the yen strengthens suddenly, they are forced to sell those assets to repay loans. We saw this in August 2024: A small BOJ rate hike sent the yen higher. Bitcoin crashed from $64K to $49K in six days. Crypto lost $600B in value. - So yen strength creates short term risk for crypto. - But dollar weakness creates long term upside. Now, why is this bullish for crypto ? Because Bitcoin is still well below its 2025 peak. It is one of the few major assets that has not fully repriced for currency debasement. If coordinated intervention actually happens and the dollar weakens, capital will look for assets that are still cheap relative to the macro shift. Historically, crypto benefits strongly from that environment. This may become one of the most important macro setups of 2026.

@2BikeisLife1 @IntlStacker Yes that is true. The point was those same exact uncirculated coins were selling for $91 a week ago.

@Swoops212 @IntlStacker The coins on that site are their collectors series (Uncirculated) coins. They do not sell standard eagles to the public direct, which is why you don't see them on the website.

The Bifrost bridge $BTC ↔ $ADA testnet documentation is almost ready. 2026 is shaping up to be the best year ever for Cardano. More info soon

JUST IN: CME Group to launch Cardano & Chainlink futures.

JUST IN: CME Group expands its crypto derivatives lineup to include Cardano.

@0xMetamatt I agree completely. Just some creativity that could potentially be utilized to bypass bad regulation. Im sure defi will come up with something more elegant. This just shows defi has many ways to attack problems

@Swoops212 Being a bank shareholder exposes me to several other risks and factors that I shouldn't be interested in. I don't want to invest in an "institution", I want to get the interest from my hard earned money if I'm letting you use them!

This is one of my strongest arguments when supporting DeFi Banks are scared of power rebalance that DeFi allows Their whole business model is held by laws that gatekeep a decentralized distribution of interest How long, I wonder, before we find a breach in these laws?
