If you have funds on affected Cosmos EVM chains such as: → @MANTRA_Chain → @TacBuild → @KiiChainio Here's a quick practical guide to keeping your funds safe ↓ 1️⃣ Don't panic-sell or rush to bridge. Scammers use incidents like this to push fake recovery links or contracts. 2️⃣ Use official links only. Go through the project's verified X account or website. Ignore DMs and replies. 3️⃣ Check your wallet activity. Use the official block explorer and look for transfers you didn't make. 4️⃣ Check DeFi positions. If you have loans, collateral, or LP positions, make sure you're not close to liquidation if the chain pauses again. 5️⃣ MANTRA and KiiChain are operational again. The teams say the vulnerability is patched. Still, avoid large transfers or new positions while the follow-up plays out. 6️⃣ If you have funds on TAC, wait for official restart instructions. Don't use unofficial bridges, migration tools, or workarounds. 7️⃣ Spread your risk going forward. One bug in shared infrastructure affected multiple chains at once. Don't keep all your funds on one chain, protocol, or bridge route.

Liquidity finally rotated back into utility plays in August. It was the result of different catalysts: 1/ Crypto Infrastructure: +50.8% @chainlink institutional integrations + @LayerZero_Core’s ATLAS catalyst 2/ DeFi Lending & Yield: +34.4% @Aave-led deposit recovery + more RWA/fixed-rate credit 3/ Exchanges & Brokers: +27.4% Trading rebound + tokenized stocks/TradFi expansion 4/ DEX & Trading: +22.2% @RobinhoodCrypto + @Uniswap stock volume + @HyperliquidX trading 5/ Stablecoins & RWA: +14.2% USDC adoption + more tokenized funds and bank deposits 6/ Smart Contract Platforms: +13.6% ETH/SOL institutional inflows + stronger onchain activity All of the activity is concentrating in exchanges, lending, stablecoins, RWAs, and the infrastructure around it. I was waiting for this moment.

I started deploying small chunks of capital in vaults for the first time since the Drift hack. The series of exploits that happened in DeFi only reinforced my bias toward simpler, more straightforward yield setups. Nonetheless, it's time to move on, and I started by throwing 500 USDC in Mantle's new USDC Grove Yield Layer vault for a 10.02% APY. → Native yield (3.52% native yield from Sky Savings) → @grovedotfinance incentives (~6.5% APR) → @Fluxion_network points Grove connects the vault to Sky’s yield, and CIAN packages the strategy into a vault. Just keep in mind that withdrawals take 3-5 days to process. This delay is intentional so that Grove can process the exit from the underlying strategy. Understanding the risks right now is more important to me than squeezing out every extra %. You can see the full deposit flow below. Disclosure: I'm a long-term $MNT holder.

Very interesting btw: Perps -10% QoQ to $12.7T while spot collapsed -39.1% Some insights from the @coingecko study ↓ • Top 10 Perp CEXes: $12.7T in Q2 2026, down -10.0% QoQ from $14.1T in Q1 2026 • Monthly Top-10 perp volumes (Jan→Jun): $4.9T, $4.7T, $4.4T, $4.3T, $4.0T, $4.4T – every month > $4.0T; May hit the H1 low at $4.0T • Spot CEX volume fell -39.1% QoQ over the same period Here's the why: Perps are churn- and leverage-driven (plus emerging RWA-perp demand), so they retain activity when spot capital inflows dry up. Spot reflects conviction and exits faster. The May trough (BTC < $60k) followed by a June rebound shows volume lags and is more volatility/positioning-sensitive than price alone. The perp-vs-spot divergence signals a structural tilt toward derivatives and leverage-driven flow, not a healthy rotation into spot.

It's pure mayhem on the Robinhood chain at the moment. There's around $300-500M daily DEX volume and 900K+ weekly active addresses. IMO, a good strategy would be to use this momentum to farm LP rewards on Robinhood. I've personally allocated funds to 3 different pools: 1. CASHCAT/USDG 2. PONS/USDG 3. USDG/VIRTUAL I've done this through the shared liquidity layer on @1inch called Aqua, since it allows me to back multiple positions with 1 token (in this example, USDG). It's the only way to keep my balance active and utilize it fully across all three pairs and price ranges. They kicked off a $1,000,000 incentive program along with the product launch, so I also opened a separate 1INCH/VIRTUAL position for it. It currently earns rewards in both 1INCH and USDC through Merkl. The pool has around $19K in liquidity right now, so the APY is very high (170%). I've been cautious about deploying capital due to recent hacks, but they already got audited by 8 independent teams, including Hexens, OpenZeppelin, Bailsec, and Nethermind, and my funds remain in my wallet at all times. Great opportunity if you ask me. Now let's see those fees rake in.

Yield is useful for idle assets, but not for having usable capital. I personally hate it when my capital is stuck in one app, and I can’t use it anywhere else. The solution? Composable yield. strUSD from @tori_finance is a brand new asset built around this idea. It's backed by ~$50M in protocol reserves, with a 100.58% collateral ratio. You get the asset by staking trUSD on Tori's dashboard. The APY is also very decent (~10% variable APY), while strUSD remains usable across several established DeFi protocols, like: • Pendle - lets holders choose between fixed and variable yield • Morpho - turns strUSD into collateral • Curve - adds liquidity opportunities • Royco - turns the asset into exposure with different risk levels So the position keeps earning while giving holders several ways to manage liquidity and risk. I like that the choice remains with the user. This is precisely how I think a useful yield-bearing asset should work.

The @arc mainnet launch is one of the more exciting upcoming launches. I've talked before about how most chains spend years trying to manufacture demand, but in Arc's case it's completely different. That's because it's heading toward mainnet with direct access to Circle’s existing products and distribution. Just look at the scale @circle already has through USDC: → $73B in circulation → Issued across 35 networks → 63% of stablecoin transaction volume in Q1 2026 Circle’s payment network has also reached an $8.3B annualized run rate. Of course, those numbers won’t automatically become activity on Arc. But Arc doesn’t need to prove that USDC is useful. It needs to give Circle’s existing users a reason to settle more of their activity on its own chain. The $222M presale, backed by BlackRock, Apollo, a16z and ICE, gives it serious institutional support too. A pretty strong setup before mainnet launch, if you ask me.

Hmmm very interesting RWA holders +37.13% in 30 days while distributed value only +3.94% so adoption is widening, but not (yet) deepening. Some data I pulled ↓ @RWA_xyz: • Distributed Asset Value: $36.82B (+3.94% vs 30d); • Represented Asset Value: $380.17B (+1.66% vs 30d); • Total Asset Holders: 1,345,090 (+37.13% vs 30d); • Total Stablecoin Value: $297.88B (+0.05% vs 30d); • Total Stablecoin Holders: 277.44M (+3.11% vs 30d). @a16zcrypto: • Tokenized stocks: market cap ~$1.7B (5x YoY from $329M); • AI/chips rose to 15.5% of tokenized stock cap; • June transfer volume $9.22B (≈170x June 2025 $53M). @BinanceResearch: • Private credit monthly inflows +$883M; • Centrifuge’s JAAA hit $200M on Solana; • Tradable shows ~$1.7B tradable private positions. @Ondo: • Tokenized asset holders surpassed 1M (single-week ~200k jump); • BlackRock’s BUIDL at $2.93B AUM; • Avalanche doubled to ~$900M in a July week. @TokenInsight: • TradFi perpetuals/derivatives monthly trading volume rose from $52B (Jan) to $268B (June); • Bitget Q2 volume $69B (11.01% market share). How do we read this? Growth is concentrated in products that remove specific TradFi frictions – geographic access (tokenized stocks), illiquidity + yield (private credit), settlement lag (tokenized Treasuries), and market-hours/FX friction (perpetuals). I nfrastructure (custody, FINRA authorizations, BNY/DTCC pilots) is shifting risk from proof-of-concept to operational execution, which attracts both retail and institutional flows but in different forms. This is an adoption inflection where breadth is outrunning depth: many more holders, but modestly more dollars. Tokenized stocks and perpetuals look retail/momentum-driven (fast growth, concentration risk in AI/chips), while private credit and Treasuries are the cleaner signal of TradFi integration – real capital and operational commitments (custody, settlement rails).

Around 515.2M $NIGHT was removed from Wanchain’s Cardano-side bridge treasury. That was roughly 98% of the bridge’s NIGHT reserves, reducing them from around 527M to just 12M. Onchain analysis It’s important to remember that this wasn’t an exploit of Cardano or @MidnightNtwrk. The vulnerability affected @wanchain_org’s third-party bridge connecting Cardano and BNB Chain. Basically, the attacker didn’t need to steal anyone’s private key. They found a flaw that let them take a real approval meant for one withdrawal and reuse it to withdraw different funds. The bridge still accepted the approval as valid because the withdrawal data was formatted badly. My verdict: Midnight’s network appears unaffected. However, $NIGHT’s price did drop after the attack, which hurt a lot of the holders. But the bigger risk, IMO, is for people holding Wanchain’s wrapped NIGHT on BNB Chain, because there may no longer be enough real NIGHT backing those tokens. Until Wanchain explains what happened to the funds and how it plans to restore the missing reserves, I’d avoid using Wanchain for now.

There's an important thing to remember with @Plasma's Android rollout. It came with one strong incentive: new users who verify their identity and deposit at least $100 receive Core membership free for six months. → 3% base cashback on eligible card purchases, paid in XPL → 5% cashback on eligible AI spending → A ChatGPT Go subscription → 1% referral rewards → Reduced fees Plus a few other smaller perks. Plasma added 11K+ new cardholders after launching on Android, and the daily spend hit around $795K, a record. That's a strong launch, but it shouldn't be treated as the new baseline yet because the real test is how many of those users keep spending once the free Core membership expires. Plasma One is a solid card overall, so I'm curious to see what Android retention looks like six months out.

It's a project from one of the biggest RWA projects on the market (Ondo). My conviction is very high. 4/ @unitxyz Farming it also gives you exposure to Hyperliquid’s next airdrop.

That's a pretty strong backbone. 6/ @Theo_Network Ethena, but for Gold. Nuff said. 7/ @extendedapp Built by the ex-Revolut crypto team, with eToro as a strategic backer. Quite overfarmed, though. 8/ @onrefinance Exposure to reinsurance-backed yield (unrelated to crypto price action, so good for diversification), and the 4th biggest RWA asset on Solana. 9/ @bulktrade Solana's most serious attempt at a real perp DEX. Apparently, 30% will be allocated for the airdrop. Pre-deposits are live right now, which means you have an early opportunity to position for the a 10/ @PhoenixTrade The way they built out their system points towards a hidden upcoming airdrop.

The big idea with this card is that your assets sit in yield-generating vaults while remaining available to spend. I actually like that a lot, because I can remember a handful of times when I wanted to spend some of my money, then remembered it was locked up in a vault somewhere, lol. But anyways, this is still an upcoming feature. Also, @Plasma and @ether_fi already offer similar setups, either letting users spend from yield-bearing balances or borrow against them for purchases. What makes @StartaleGroup different is the combo: a card built into the app + a USDSC Earn Vault with rewards backed by short-term US Treasuries. Let’s see if it delivers.

There is already around $1.47B in DeFi TVL sitting on @provenancefdn. In a nutshell, Provenance is blockchain infra for tokenized finance. So instead of being built around speculative crypto liquidity only, it is used for things like real-world lending, tokenized assets, and financial workflows. But the important detail is that this number is mostly driven by @Figure. Figure Markets alone is sitting at around $1.5B in TVL on Provenance, with more than $3.2B in 30d DEX volume and over $15B in cumulative DEX volume. That is what makes the Provenance number different from a normal DeFi chain. Figure is the product layer, and Provenance is the blockchain underneath it. So when users interact with Figure’s lending, trading, or yield products, that activity settles on Provenance and shows up in the chain’s TVL. So IMO, the Provenance story is not just about TVL sitting onchain. It is about real financial products pushing activity through the chain in the background. A lot of RWA chains are still selling the future. Provenance already has a big chunk of value showing up today.

Yield campaigns rarely have proper incentives. Most are just temporary TVL inflations on empty chains. Naturally, I trust the campaign APR numbers on established chains like @trondao more than on other random chains trying to bootstrap usage. It already has: → $2T+ in stablecoin payments settled → $26B+ in TVL → One of the largest USDT bases in crypto I joined this new TRON DeFi Summer S1 campaign, which has a big reward pool ($4.5M) and boosted APR incentives. It's super flexible, since you can deposit/withdraw at any time without any lock-up periods. IMO, the best play is to participate via Binance Wallet to share $300,000 in TRX rewards, then stack more rewards by supplying USDD on JustLend DAO (TVL is $400M+). Another great feature is that gas is handled in the background. Activated TRON addresses get a daily subsidy that reduces onchain costs, so the entire flow feels almost free. I've linked the step-by-step guide below on how to participate.

Nah, crypto float doesn't work the way bank float does. In traditional finance, float is sticky because moving money has a cost: → New KYC → Payroll changes → Statements → Tax/admin work That friction is what turns balances into a durable moat. Crypto card float is much more fragile. Once the balance is onchain or easy to withdraw, a user can move it to another card, a yield app, or a self-custody wallet in minutes. @Plasma shows this point clearly. It holds $5.07M across 10,832 wallets, roughly the same amount @RedotPay holds across 344,040 wallets. The obvious difference is yield. Yield explains why Plasma has more idle balance per wallet, but that doesn’t make card float the same as bank float. Crypto users can keep money in DeFi, move it to a crypto card when they want to spend, then move it back without keeping large balances parked there all month. I believe that whichever app becomes the easiest and most secure one for holding, spending, and moving stablecoins wins the float.

So how do you actually judge the value of a token? Welp, I've taken it upon myself to give you the ELI5 version. For starters, a protocol doing well and a token doing well are not always the same thing because a project can have real usage, strong revenue, and a lot of activity, while the token still performs badly if holders do not capture any of that value. The simple framework is Token Revenue vs Token Emissions, and the token revenue is the value going back to the token through things like: → buybacks → burns → distributions → other holder-aligned mechanisms So while token Emissions are the cost side, any new supply entering the market can dilute existing holders and make it harder for the token to move up. "So when a token has revenue flowing back to it, that’s bullish, right?" Well, not exactly, because if a protocol generates $10M for the token but emits $100M worth of supply, you are still fighting a losing battle. So yeah, good protocol ≠ good token.

Alongside adoption, the RWA sector also has an institutional problem. Most RWA chains push compliance onto the issuers building on top of them. The base layer processes transactions and leaves licensing, reserves, and accountability to each project. This means institutions have to trust every issuer separately, on a chain promising the opposite. There's one RWA project, @BlockmazeRWA, that has compliance built into the protocol itself: → Issuers pass KYC at the chain level → Legal authorization required before any token deployment → Proof-of-reserves schedules enforced by the protocol, not the issuer You can't ship a non-compliant asset here the way you can on other RWA chains. The project is backed by Finvasia Group, which has spent 15+ years running regulated finance and trading infrastructure, so they're fully aware of what institutions need before deploying. I believe that crypto teams learning compliance is a slower path than compliance teams learning crypto. Strongly suggest you follow @BlockmazeRWA and deep dive into their architecture and vision.

Most users don't know it, but they're indirectly using DeFi through the @RobinhoodApp. Robinhood started packaging lending, yield, stocks, and perps in a way that feels normal to retail. Its current stack already has: → Lending: @Morpho → Yield: @sparkdotfi | @ethena_labs | @maplefinance → Stocks trading: @Uniswap | @Lighter_xyz | @arcus_xyz | @1inch | Rialto → Perps: @Lighter_xyz → Data & interoperability: @chainlink Users will just see normal app features like Earn, stock tokens, and perps, with the crypto infrastructure hidden in the background. It's a very clean setup if you ask me. They've also just introduced the new Robinhood chain, which already has 100+ apps/tools live. You can see the entire ecosystem map below ↓

MC / Ann Rev experiment: Week 3 Update Three weeks ago, I bought $1,000 of each asset with a low MC / annualized revenue. Last week the profit cooled to +$688. This week it more than doubled. - Original basket: $10,000 invested - Current PnL: +$1,550.43 - ROI: +15.5% ORE and MPLX both flipped from red to green this week, and PUMP got back most of last week's loss. The new addition, MAPLE, more than made up for GMX's idle price action. Will pull the plug for @helium (HNT) next week. Gave it many chances, and I'm not gonna let it ruin the fun I'm having so far. In all honesty, this metric might be a hidden gold mine.

429 wallets have each locked 100,000 $XPL to get a Plasma One Platinum card. This means ~4M $XPL have already been removed from circulation for a year. It takes just ~2,000 more depositors to lock up 10% of the XPL circulating supply. Can this happen? https://t.co/VgzgKHGRc4

There's a reason @datafdn has been seeing more activity lately. Open Trace, their tool for auditing AI data, and you'll see the AI data being registered consistently. Story switched to licensing data to AI companies offchain. This leaves registrations as the only current onchain signal that's still relevant. Let's break it down ↓ 1/ Where DATA's revenue comes from DATA Foundation is easy to misread if you treat it like a regular L1. Most people judge chains by fees, volume, and active users. By that standard, but there are better metrics to be looking at in this case. The chain is currently focused on getting real-world training data registered onchain so it can be licensed. The licensing itself, where the revenue is, happens offchain. So low onchain fees aren't a problem, they're just the model working as intended. Now that there's 1 to 5 million assets registered per day, on track to register 1 billion due to their partnership with @usekled, I think it would be wise to monitor their chain activity as these numbers continue to flow upward 2/ Explaining registrations A year ago, this was mostly creative work, art, characters, and music: - Songs from Bieber, Blackpink, and BTS tokenized through Aria - Brands like Crocs and Adidas onboarded through Ablo By late 2025, this had grown to over 20M IPs registered across 200+ teams, with $100M+ bridged into the protocol. That's the base. With Chapter 2, DATA (then called Story at the time) aimed the whole protocol at AI training data. Think dashcam footage of a rare road moment, the real-world data that robots and self-driving cars need and can't get from other platforms like Reddit. When you register a dataset, four things get defined upfront: - What it is and who owns it - How it can be used, and by whom - What it costs to license - How the owner gets paid when someone uses it That's what turns raw footage into something an AI company can license and pay for without any lawyers. 3/ The data's origin @datafdn isn't out collecting this data itself. The setup is public. It incubated a project called Poseidon that runs the supply side, organizing how real-world data gets captured, labeled, and licensed, then registered onchain. How it works: the first version of the data registered becomes the "parent." Anyone who works on it after (labels, edits, synthetic versions) registers their contribution as a "child" linked to that parent. When the data later gets licensed, payment flows back through the chain to everyone in the loop. @psdnai raised $15M from a16z and is run by DATA Foundation's Chief AI Officer, a Stanford PhD who teaches robotics. I mention that because every other project in crypto right now is pitching some AI angle, but a funded team with a real robotics researcher running it is much harder to fake. Poseidon doesn't run this loop alone. Stability AI builds the apps that track IP contributions while AI models actually use the data, and OpenLedger enforces the license terms during training. Together, they cover what happens to a dataset after it's registered. That whole setup (data sourcing, licensing, enforcement) used to live inside companies like Scale AI and Mercor. Meta's near-acquisition of Scale earlier this year pulled the biggest player out of the open market, and now Poseidon is moving into that gap. 4/ My take Scraping the web for training data keeps getting legally messier, big companies want data they can prove they're allowed to use, and the most valuable data, the physical-world kind, is exactly what you can't scrape anyway. If that pressure keeps building, a registry of licensed, ready-to-use data already sitting there is a good place to be. Tbh, I think the people who wrote DATA off are gonna feel bad about it in the next few months.

Like it or not, memecoins make up a huge part of crypto valuations, with around $25B in market cap. But even with all that activity, I know a lot of people who are just stuck holding their bag waiting for price rebounds. @purintaxyz is the only project dedicated to building infrastructure to put your idle memecoins to work using @Morpho markets. They let you borrow/lend USDC against top memecoins. The idea is that memecoins are actually a better collateral option than traditional DeFi assets because the risk is easier to manage. Right now, they support PEPE and SPX6900 as collateral, with more meme assets planned in future updates. They're currently offsetting all borrowing interest through a Merkl incentive campaign, so if you wanna try it out, do it now while borrowing is free. Not saying this removes the risk, but if you’re already holding memes, having the option to put those bags to work is pretty interesting IMO. Check it out here: https://t.co/clyysWQqKj

MC / Ann Rev experiment: Week 2 Update Two weeks ago, I bought $1,000 of each asset with a low MC / annualized revenue. Last week, the portfolio was up $960. This week, profit cooled down a bit, but the experiment is still green: • Original basket: $10,000 invested • Current PnL: +$688.10 • ROI: +6.9% The gains are still mostly from MET, CARDS, and AERO, which are all up more than 40% each. I also added two new assets to the experiment this week: GMX and MAPLE. That brings the total invested amount to $12,000, but I’ll track them separately next week since they were added at the current snapshot. HNT and PUMP are the biggest drags so far. Let's see if that changes.

“Institutional adoption” is making a full 180° turn. For years, everyone waited for pensions and sovereign wealth funds to show up as the bid. Now, Franklin Templeton is building the products to sell to them. Franklin just: → Closed its 250 Digital acquisition → Launched Franklin Crypto (a dedicated crypto division) → Grew its tokenized asset suite from ~$768M to $2.5B in a year → Filed two ETFs that turn stock dividends into BTC exposure Over that same stretch, the broader onchain RWA market grew from ~$11.8B to ~$32.3B. For context, Franklin manages $1.78T. The sad part: institutions probably won’t enter crypto the way CT wanted it. They’re not opening exchange accounts and buying spot tokens like the rest of us. They’ll basically enter through wrappers, managed strategies, tokenized funds, collateral products, and ETFs. A lesson there.

It looks like @coinbase is trying to win on all fronts. These updates read like a feature dump, but they map onto one strategy: owning every layer of how money moves. Look at who each piece targets: → Tokenized stocks + options: @RobinhoodApp & @xStocksFi → Unified liquidity across spot + perps: @binance & @HyperliquidX → Time-based prediction markets: @Polymarket → USDC card + BTC travel rewards: @RedotPay & @ether_fi → Lending/borrowing: @aave & @Morpho Coinbase is one of the few companies that has tried to take all of these on at once. Many of these platforms specialize in one sector. Focused teams tend to win customers over, not those that are split across every sector. I believe they're trying to bite off more than they can chew. And that will be evident pretty soon.
