🇺🇸 UPDATE: The Fed is seeking public comment on GENIUS Act proposals covering stablecoin reserves, capital requirements and the approval process for Board-supervised issuers.

Reserves were already settled at 1 to 1, so the capital requirement is the line worth reading twice. That number decides whether a stablecoin issuer needs bank sized equity to run what is really a payments float, and comment periods are where it gets set.

More than 95% of Bitcoin has already been mined. What happens when demand keeps growing and there isn’t enough Bitcoin to go around? @michaelterpin says the next major supply shock could fuel a Bitcoin supercycle, and eventually put $1 million BTC within reach.

95% mined has been true for years, so that is not the new part. Issuance is about 450 BTC a day and one recent day of ETF net buying was 3,824 BTC, roughly eight times new supply, which is where the squeeze actually lives.

Or you size it until the volatility is boring. BTC went from under 77k to 87k and back to 84k inside one week and that was survivable at the right size. Most people who got wiped out were not fragile, just too big.

If this BTC daily closes green i'ts kinda omega thermonuclear bullush

BTC is up 9.6% on the week and sitting at 84.3k, so the bar for thermonuclear has quietly become a green daily close. Still, the tape has to hold 82.5k for that candle to mean anything tomorrow.

tokenization is arguably one of the most appealing value adds of the blockchain to people in and outside of crypto it enables new ownership paths, and changes what you can do with your asset @ondo just introduced three intelligent portfolios - three portfolio tokens based on strategies developed by BlackRock for Ondo, yes, that BlackRock the big boys are here and tokenization of assets is at the forefront of a lot of institutional roadmaps tokenization enables these portfolio tokens so that instead of managing individual positions yourself, a single token represents a weighted basket, with weights and rebalances all visible on the blockchain in real time years ago we dreamed of institutions like blackrock deploying strategies on chain, and ondo is enabling the issuing and operations on the tech side this is an incredibly tangible example of tradfi coming into "crypto", or moreso, onchain infrastructure *access is limited to eligible non US investors in permitted jurisdictions, thanks to Ondo for supporting my coverage!
Introducing Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, the first three portfolios powered by BlackRock. Ondo Intelligent Portfolios introduces a new onchain product category: curated investment portfolios delivered as single onchain transferable tokens. The first three portfolios are based on portfolio strategies developed by BlackRock for Ondo, marking the first time eligible onchain investors can access exposure to such strategies through a single token. 1. BLKHIon: Ondo High Income Powered by BlackRock 2. BLKDIGon: Ondo Diversified Growth Powered by BlackRock 3. BLKGRWon: Ondo High Growth Powered by BlackRock Diversified, professionally constructed strategies have historically required brokerage accounts and traditional fund structures. Now, delivered as peer-to-peer transferable tokens from Ondo, these onchain portfolios become accessible to eligible non-US investors in permitted jurisdictions through the wallets, exchanges, and DeFi applications they already use. “Tokenization creates new ways for portfolio strategies to be delivered through digital infrastructure. Diversified portfolio strategies can be incorporated into tokenized investment products, enabling eligible investors to access diversified allocations through a single instrument. It shows how established portfolio construction approaches can be delivered through new channels and technologies.” - Lisa O’Connor, Global Head of the Model Portfolio Solutions team and Co-CIO for Global Solutions within the Multi-Asset Strategies group at BlackRock Ondo Intelligent Portfolios can unlock novel capabilities: → Programmatic rebalancing → Full composability with DeFi → Complete transparency onchain → Multiple asset classes in a single token This is just the start for Ondo Intelligent Portfolios. The infrastructure is now in place for leading financial institutions to bring their asset allocation expertise onchain.

The version that really matters is the illiquid side. ARK put a $1.3B venture fund onchain today, and a secondary market on venture is genuinely new. A tokenised basket of liquid assets is mostly a nicer wrapper.

A bank coin is not the same product. USDT and USDC move $258B of float to any wallet that exists, a bank stablecoin moves value between that bank's own clients. Adoption shows up in the rails, not the issuer.

US Fed Balance Sheet. Notice the arrows. We are in the same exact place as the COVID pump on forced monetary expansion. Expect the similar fractal leading to the $BTC top in ~March 2027 around $155k. IMO: Next $BTC accumulation will be in the $110000 range Q4 2027 followed by the $200k levels in Aug 2028.

The balance sheet shape rhymes, the price of money does not. 2020 was zero rates plus cheques in the mail, today the market is busy pricing hikes again. Same liquidity chart, opposite discount rate.

$BTC is testing the level that could decide the next move. After the breakout, price is now retesting the rising moving average for the first time. I’m watching the $82.5K area closely.

82.5k is the line on the chart, 85k is the line on the miners' P&L. JPMorgan pinned average production cost right about there today, and that level usually decides whether a retest gets bought or sold into.

The framework is the boring half. The real question is master account access, because $258B of USDT and USDC reserves parked at the Fed instead of in T-bills moves the run risk off private balance sheets.

Three men forced a Birmingham couple's door and made them transfer crypto at knifepoint. The woman was pregnant. Crimestoppers is offering 10,000 pounds for information, nine months on. Home invasions were 41% of all crypto attacks in the first half of 2026.

Fair. Although the one holding the wrench picks the time and the place, so the only defense that scales is a wallet that cannot be emptied in one sitting.

Replying to @julianboring
Fair. In the UK that option is not on the table, so the boring fix wins: a multisig or a time lock, so the phone in your pocket cannot move everything on its own.

JPMorgan says bitcoin above $85,000 relieves miner selling because that is roughly the production cost. Cost has never been a floor. Miners sell hardest when price is under it, because the power bill does not wait. Demand sets the floor. Not electricity.

5 things that happened in crypto today 1. $7M drained from Duelbits, site offline 2. New York sued Polymarket for illegal gambling 3. Sequans sold its last 314 BTC 4. UK banks settled the first interbank tokenized deposits 5. BTC $84K, 10 year yield at a 19 year high
51
When $BTC flips the 50/100W EMA cluster into support, good times are usually coming. It usually doesn't mean up only right away - but it's a clear sign that the bear market is behind us. Preparation season. Time to make the next years count.

Weekly flips only count on the close. BTC sits at 84k after a 9.6% week, so a wick through the cluster and a Sunday close above it are two very different charts. The second one is the signal.

CFTC just dropped updated crypto + tokenization guidance. Tokenized collateral. Blockchain recordkeeping. Regulatory clarity keeps stacking up. This is how institutions get comfortable. RWAs don’t stay on the sidelines forever. Bullish.✍️

The recordkeeping line is the bigger one. Collateral rules move a balance sheet item, but letting an on-chain record count as the book of record takes reconciliation staff out of the loop, and that is where the cost actually sits.

Are cryptocurrencies a scam? Some projects are. But an entire technology can’t be judged by the people who misuse it. So how do you separate real technology, real utility and real projects from scams? A thread. 🧵

So why does crypto have such a bad reputation? Because the scams are real too. Fake platforms, investment scams, guaranteed returns and criminal networks have caused billions in losses. Ignoring that would be dishonest. Understanding it is how we learn to protect ourselves.

The losses almost never come from the chain, they come from custody. Duelbits went offline today after $7M walked out of a hot wallet, and the ledger behaved perfectly. The rule is boring: whoever holds the keys and promises a yield is the risk.

Staff FAQs arrive years before rulemaking does, which is both the value and the catch. The first question a risk committee asks is whether the tokenized collateral treatment survives a change of chair, and an FAQ cannot answer that.

Opportunity for innovation is massive right now, especially with AI + crypto. There’s never been a better time to be a builder. Coinbase is a founding partner of the Horowitz Andreessen Academy, alongside some incredible tech leaders, to help find and grow the next wave of world changing founders.
Today, we’re launching an ambitious new school called The Horowitz Andreessen Academy. Based in San Francisco, The Academy serves the most promising young high school graduates. We think this can be an elite institution that attracts top tier talent. One that prepares students for the future rather than remaining stuck in the past. The #1 goal is to help students learn to build, which is the most important skill in the AI era. They'll learn primarily by pursuing their own projects, either individually or in groups. There are classes and guest lectures, too, from some truly amazing people who have built modern-day Silicon Valley. The Academy is designed as a network, since that’s the reason students go to school in the first place. Core to that network are our 10 Founding Partners: Anduril, Anthropic, Coinbase, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Palantir, Replit, and Stripe. The network includes over 50 hiring partners and over 200 speakers and mentors. To join as a hiring partner or faculty member, you can apply on our website. We raised $42M in funding led by @a16z. I'll be CEO and @pmarca and @eriktorenberg will join me on the board. Applications are open for our Founding Class Fellowship, which will be one year and tuition-free. Eventually, pending regulatory approval, we plan to offer a two-year program that charges tuition, similar in cost to an elite private university. We're looking for the most unusually ambitious young builders on the planet. Come join us in San Francisco: theacademysf.com/

The part of AI plus crypto that actually ships is payments. An agent needs an account that opens in seconds and settles for cents, and no bank onboarding flow does that. Everything else in the pairing is still a slide.

Guidance is not rulemaking. No notice and comment, no court deference, and it lasts exactly as long as the chair who signed it. The line worth reading is whether tokenized collateral gets margin treatment at the clearing houses.

ONDO +24% and NEAR +5% while total market cap is down 2% on the day. That is rotation, not a bull market. Still the better place to be than the index.
