Eric Trump explains how the Trump family has made over $1,000,000,000 in Crypto “Well we started the three most successful Crypto projects probably in history. We started with a memecoin, TRUMP coin, for a period of time I think it was above the market cap of Ethereum, it was pretty amazing it went parabolic” “Obviously we were really successful with NFTs in the early days and then we started World Liberty Financial. Everybody knows we’re the fastest growing stablecoin on Earth right now” “Crypto’s been incredible and it came out of us being debanked. It is the future of finance and as a family we’re all in”

Balancer co-founder Fernando Martinelli said Balancer Labs will be shut down, primarily due to legal exposure stemming from the November 2025 exploit and the entity’s lack of sustainable revenue under the current structure. The protocol will transition to a DAO, foundation, and service-provider model. He also supports a set of structural changes, including ending BAL emissions, winding down veBAL, routing 100% of protocol fees to the DAO treasury, among other measures.

Selling gold because rising inflation will keep the Fed from cutting interest rates, when rates are already too low, makes no sense. Falling real rates are bullish for gold. It's the stock market that needs rate cuts. That's why it makes no sense that stocks are down so little.

It's really hard to grasp the amount of unsexy work that goes into the beginning of an ecosystem. There are so, so many man hours spent simply getting tooling and basic primitives in place for builders. Wallets, indexers, data APIs, bridge liquidity, SDKs, etc, etc, etc. Even if you have them each team has a preference for their specific vendor of a specific tool. All so people can quickly and easily spin up apps atop it and one another. Simple truth is that building up early ecosystem will take buy-in from founders who understand the foundation's ambitions and long-term direction. They'll then have to do a little "chewing glass" because it's not going to be as easy as it would be for any mature eco with ~most of what you need/want. But the rewards are also outsized, for both users and founders. If you bet on the right ecosystem and establish your position within it you stand to grow just as rapidly as the chain itself. We believe the apps should grow more. Anyways, our approach was not to take the easy path, force apps to launch on our timeline and just dump tokens to incentivize temporary growth metrics. We do not want spiked-then-down-only TVL/apps/users charts because everyone knows how that ends. So we do it the slow way: - Give apps time to launch when they're ready - Launch our token when the ecosystem (and it's utility) is strong - Turn on campaigns when the ecosystem can support all users and not just single sectors I know delayed gratification can be painful when sentiment is down across the industry and we all wanted to change the world overnight, but that's just not how this was ever going to work. In the meantime, we continue to work on things that we're excited about (and will debut soon), we implement changes based on builder/user feedback and we work towards the next few catalysts we can control. I couldn't be more excited for the future and there's no doubt in my mind MegaETH will be a pillar of our industry in due time.

We are currently investigating a security incident involving unauthorized minting of USR. At this stage: The collateral pool remains fully intact. No underlying assets have been lost. The issue appears isolated to USR issuance mechanics. Our immediate priority is to: 1) Contain the incident 2) Assess impact 3) Ensure legitimate users are not affected We are actively investigating and will share more updates shortly.

CRYPTO EXCHANGE KRAKEN FREEZES MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR IPO PLAN - COINDESK

what a delightful, well-timed photoshoot in all seriousness: - i’ve lost count of how many times i’ve heard “opensea is done.” we’re still here. - if you start a business you can and should make money from it. but if you actually know our team, you know that our focus has always, from the start, been building products that people love. that will continue to be the case - my wife got into bitcoin in 2011 (years before nfts were a thing), has always paid for everything herself and started multiple non-profits while advising me. she’s never used the term “product mommy”, but she’s the most brilliant person i know and has built me into the person i am today. marry someone who builds with you, learns alongside you, and who is deeply dedicated to your growth no matter the ups and downs - our industry is still small and misunderstood. for crypto to scale it's eventually going to feel invisible and permeate all of culture. that's a big part of opensea's vision. we saw an opportunity (not without risk) to share it with VF but what that article became wildly misrepresented our industry and our own story. that's a bummer, but we'll have more shots at this - it's not the critic who counts. to create anything of significance in the world takes time, pain, mistakes, courage, the willingness to be both deeply misunderstood and disliked, and glass-chewing. luckily the glass-chewing make you stronger. onwards

I've seen a lot more people dunking than celebrating and it makes sense, after all most of us in crypto "pivoted" to be absorbed by the existing world machine. I also don't think most of the commentators made it past the blog post to the actual manifesto/mandate, just a sign of times I guess, clicking one extra link and spending time to read through is tough. On a more serious note, EF currently is the only player with both the resources and network effects to not just keep cypherpunk dream alive but also to actually make it happen. Will this accrue to eth price wise short term? Certainly not. Will it accrue to it long term? Only if it wins (and wins under the conditions it set for itself, not because of being adopted by tradfi). Should we care about price at all? Personally think the goal here is more important I absolutely think that we should have somebody at least trying this on grand scale instead of pursuing financial applications (and I’m pretty aware how funny it must sound from CEO of prop trading firm that made it from financial applications of blockchains🙃). Rest of us can do what they do and choose to hold eth or not. If I’m honest, holding it is a very long shot, but there are way worse cults out there, so I’ll keep my eth for the culture and memes🫡
