As 2025 comes to a close: - Many thanks to the folks @DewhalesCapital, @ChainstackHQ, @reya_xyz, and @Shoalresearch for giving me the opportunity to work with them and their continual support. - Excitingly, @StablesMusings is back, for real this time. Check out December's latest post @ stablecoinmusings.substack.com. Will be covering policy and regulation around central banking, CBDCs, and stablecoins. - Entirely focused on mastering my craft, becoming the best writer/analyst I can be, working with teams pushing the boundaries of web3, learning, and touching grass. 2026 is going to be a brutal but fun year. Thanks to all who've stayed with me on this journey. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀:¨ ·.· ¨: ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ `· . 𐙚

@ChainstackHQ Thanks🫡. Without @icepunx and the rest of the team, it wouldn't have been possible!

@bithiahkoshy Thank you for your contribution, @bithiahkoshy! 🙌

USD correspondent banking in the Pacific has dropped 60% since 2011. Tonga's importers can't reliably pay suppliers in Singapore. Two local banks have already lost their USD accounts. But @DigicelTO MyCash already moves money across Tonga, the National Reserve Bank of Tonga is actively exploring fintech solutions, and licensed off-ramps like Triple-A handle the SGD and USD exit leg. New post breaks down why stablecoins are the connective tissue, and what a potential working architecture looks like @StablesMusings ↓ stablecoinmusings.substack.com/p/the-case-of-…

@VerdaVentures dollars are not going anywhere - especially now with stablecoins

@Polymarket money printer go brrrr

JUST IN: Australia will provide up to A$1 billion in interest-free loans to critical businesses due to the energy shock.

This past week has been hectic. NYSE is building a 24/7 tokenized securities platform, Invesco just took over a $900M tokenized Treasury fund, and Swift is onboarding 25+ banks onto crypto rails - all while the U.S. moved to ban passive stablecoin yield. Latest @StablesMusings breaks it all down. stablecoinmusings.substack.com/p/the-path-of-…

🧵 Solana trading in 2026 is becoming an infrastructure game ⚡ Alpenglow → sub-150ms finality Firedancer → 1M+ TPS testing MEV → maturing with Jito + PBS. The edge now lives in execution infrastructure. Full breakdown 👇🏻 chainstack.com/solana-trading…

Flashblocks make L2 apps feel instant ⚡️ Instead of waiting ~2s for full block confirmation, apps can react to transaction execution in ~200ms via the `pending` block. That means better UX for trading, payments, and consumer apps, without changing the underlying rollup block structure. Full breakdown 👇🏻 chainstack.com/what-are-flash…

The U.S. Senate just passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act with a massive 89-10 bipartisan majority. But for the stablecoin industry, the real news was hidden in Title X: a prohibition on the Federal Reserve issuing a retail CBDC.

For years, crypto's biggest obstacle wasn't technology. It was not knowing which regulator would come knocking, or when. That's changing with the CLARITY Act. For exchanges, builders, and institutional teams, the question is no longer whether a compliance framework is coming. It's whether your operations are ready for it. One part of that readiness doesn't get enough attention: data infrastructure. How reference prices are derived, how asset classifications are maintained, and whether market conditions can be reconstructed on demand are no longer questions only traders ask. Regulators will ask them too. Check out the full article @coingecko: coingecko.com/learn/clarity-…

New Stablecoin Musings post just dropped. The CBDC landscape is shifting into production as a "Great Divide" between social retail models for financial inclusion and wholesale infrastructure for institutional efficiency. Read now ↓ stablecoinmusings.substack.com/p/the-cbdc-gre…

Was busy, but end of last month @StablesMusings had a new post! The popular narrative says digital assets will kill the banks, but the "iron law" of regulatory capture suggests the exact opposite. The crypto revolution is actually fueling a massive expansion of the U.S. banking system and the dollar.

Was asked to try out the Chainstack Fundamentals Certification by the @ChainstackHQ team. Reminded me of the MegaMind quiz by @blockworks early last year in a lot of ways, though not as difficult! Great for those wanting to wanting to brush up on fundamentals. cert.chainstack.com/certificates/c…

Crypto regulation and policy is a very important focus for me. Crypto depends on accessible regulation. Simply put, regulation can kill or grow crypto adoption. In 2026, crypto compliance is shifting from a reactive legal strategy to a core infrastructure requirement, where regulatory standards like MiCA and the GENIUS Act must be architected into the protocol level from day one. We're seeing major jurisdictions move toward fully enforceable, crypto-specific frameworks that mandate real-time monitoring and institutional-grade custody standards.

@WatcherGuru Most of us in crypto don’t fully grasp how important regulation is. It can either uplift or destroy you.

JUST IN: Robinhood and Coinbase stocks fall 7.8% and 6.5% after Congress delays crypto market structure legislation.

More important than ever to understand how central bank autonomy works. Read below ↓
