Strategy is proposing daily dividends on $STRF, $STRC, $STRK, and $STRD, accruing every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, and paid the next business day, with economics unchanged. The proposed changes aim to support price stability, liquidity, and demand.

I’m watching $ETH levels $2,720–$2,730. If it clears that area, $2,760–$2,800 is the next resistance test. On a pullback, I want to see $2,640–$2,680 hold. A 4H close below $2,640 would weaken the setup. For now, I’m letting the level decide.

One of the hardest things in crypto is watching something you didn’t buy go up… and still not chasing it. 😂

This is more than just two hires with experience at 𝗕𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗴𝗼𝗻. Solana is clearly positioning itself to become a bigger part of the financial system - going after institutional finance, global payments, stablecoins, tokenized assets and RWAs. The goal is bigger than growing the ecosystem. It’s about getting banks, fintechs and enterprises to actually move financial activity onchain. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁.
We're thrilled to welcome two new leaders to the Solana Foundation. Rachel Conlan (@RachelConlan) joins as Chief Strategy Officer to lead strategy across institutional partnerships, ecosystem growth and go-to-market. Jamal Raees (@proofofjamal) joins as General Manager of Payments to expand the adoption and reach of Solana as global payments infrastructure. These appointments strengthen institutional growth and payments leadership as more financial activity moves onto Solana.

After 2 crypto cycles, one thing has changed in how I invest. I care a lot more about 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 (𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁) I used to ask: “𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵?” Now I ask: “𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺?” Because you can still believe in a project and still decide to sell it. Maybe the project does well from here. But if another opportunity has much more potential, keeping your money where it is can still be the wrong decision. That’s something I learned the hard way: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘆. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. The market changes. Your thesis can change. And your capital should be allowed to move with it.

$𝗕𝗧𝗖 𝟰𝗛 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 The recent move into $87K was rejected, and Bitcoin and Bitcoin pulled back into the first meaningful demand area. $82.8K–$83.3K → 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲 $84.7K–$85K → 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺/𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 $86.2K–$87K → 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 <$81.8K on 4H close → 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 For me, the chart gets much clearer once those levels are respected rather than chasing every candle.

Meanwhile, BTC went from around $87K back toward $84K. The interesting part is figuring out whether the ETF inflows are pushing the move or simply following it. The next few sessions should make that a lot clearer.

hedera-hashgraph:native is sitting right underneath the level that matters. 4H map: - $0.1000–$0.1015 - resistance - $0.0940–$0.0960 - support/hold - $0.0970–$0.0980 - decision zone - <$0.0930 4H close - breakdown/invalidation I wouldn't overcomplicate this one. The reaction at $0.10 should tell us a lot.

$999M flowed into Bitcoin ETFs on Monday. That's the biggest daily inflow since October 2025. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: BTC started moving before the ETF inflows hit. So which came first?

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗧𝗖 𝗮𝘁 $𝟴𝟳𝗞. I'm watching stablecoins. Binance just invested $100M in Circle. At the same time, European regulators are rethinking how stablecoin reserves should interact with banks. Stablecoins are becoming financial infrastructure. The interesting question isn't which stablecoin wins. It's who controls the rails for onchain dollars.

Good morning friends Started the day with a short run 🏃 Crypto looks constructive this morning. BTC was $87,161, up 2.03% over the previous 24 hours. ETH is around $2,781, while total crypto market cap is $3.04T, with $119B traded over the past 24 hours. BTC is holding around $86.5K, while ETH continues to show strength. Today I’m watching whether BTC can build on this move and whether that strength spreads further across alts. Fresh day, fresh charts. Let’s get after it 📈

I’m not getting attached to my winners. If the opportunity changes, I’ll reassess where my capital is best deployed. 3. I’m not chasing every new narrative. A position being boring doesn’t mean the thesis is broken. 4. I’m separating conviction from concentration. I can have high conviction while still controlling the risk of any single thesis. 5. I’m not assuming being early is always better. Sitting in a position for months while my capital goes nowhere has an opportunity cost. 6. I’m not optimizing for the biggest possible multiple. A realized 5x that gets rotated into another strong opportunity can be better than holding for a 20x that never comes. 7. I’m constantly questioning my edge: “Is this still working, or am I simply repeating what worked last cycle?” 𝟴. 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆: 𝗜’𝗺 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀.

That tells you everything about where the stablecoin fight is headed. Broader interest like rewards restrictions would give banks far more leverage over how stablecoins compete for deposits.
🔥SHOCKING: 7 REPUBLICANS supported a bank-friendly stablecoin amendment hours before the CLARITY Act vote. The proposal would broaden what counts as bank-like interest, making stablecoin rewards easier to restrict. Introduced by Rep Sen. Jerry Moran, it had 11 co-sponsors, including six fellow Republicans. Three of the four Republicans who voted against CLARITY were among its backers. However, the amendment was never added because CLARITY failed before debate began.
