Tokens with vibes?? Ok, this is wild. $NPC dropped a new concept in the space called "Mediacoins". Basically: tokens that can carry music, videos, images... actual media. Here's how @NonPlayableCoin lowkey changes everything 🧵👇🏻

Mastercard just did something most people in crypto have been waiting years for They launched a payments network where AI agents pay each other directly, settling in stablecoins, with 30 crypto firms onboard Here’s why this is bigger than it looks 🧵 👇🏻

7/ 🤖 What This Unlocks Their product chief called it a “superbloom of AI business models” and that’s not hype Agents paying for cloud, data, APIs, tolls, charging, all autonomously, opens entire business models that couldn’t exist when a human had to approve every transaction.

Pakistan says US-Iran peace deal within 24hrs. BTC moved to $64.1K. 20, 50 EMA and VWAP all reclaimed. RSI at 59: buyers back without overheating. Fear and Greed still at 20. $66.1K is the 100 EMA resistance. The geopolitical bid is real. But does it hold if the deal slips?

Ethena is partnering with @Securitize as a strategic tokenization partner, with the integration of STAC, the Securitize Tokenized AAA CLO Fund, into USDe's backing. This expands USDe's institutional-grade RWA exposure beyond existing Blackrock BUIDL collateral. The integration was approved by the Ethena Risk Committee following independent due diligence, evaluated against the same four criteria: liquidity, credit quality, drawdown profile, and pricing transparency.
Today we’re expanding the Securitize Tokenized AAA CLO Fund (STAC) to @solana. We’re also excited to share that @ethena plans to allocate $250 million to the fund, representing one of the largest commitments to tokenized structured credit on Solana to date.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Coinbase doesn’t open its earn rails to just anyone. The vetting is the moat. USDe just cleared it and landed next to $15-20B in USDC earn. Ventures even made their first open-market ENA buy alongside it. When Coinbase puts skin in, you pay attention.

The first product in the Ethena ✦ Coinbase collaboration is now live. The @SteakhouseFi High Yield Vault has officially launched on @Coinbase, powered by USDe on @Morpho.

$DEGEN up 119% in 14 days while most alts bled. Volume spike at 20:00 yesterday confirmed the move wasn't noise. That was accumulation, not retail chasing. Still holding the breakout range. If $0.0019 flips support, next leg has room. $DEGEN worth watching closely here imho.
HEY DEGENS! WE'RE LIVE TODAY AT 11 AM EST! 🎩 Pump Is Temporary. Building Is Forever. Join us as we discuss the evolution of $DEGEN, the lessons learned from the early days, and the vision driving the next chapter.

In 2020, @CurveFinance solved a problem that sounds simple but wasn't. @Uniswap's x·y=k works for everything. Which means it's optimal for nothing. Try swapping $1M USDC for USDT on a constant product pool: you'd eat $3,000 in slippage on assets that are supposed to be worth the same dollar. That math is wrong for stables, and everyone knew it. Curve's answer was the StableSwap invariant. A blend of two formulas: constant sum near the peg (almost zero slippage), constant product at the edges (so the pool survives if something breaks). The blend is controlled by one variable: A, the amplification factor. High A means the pool trusts the peg. Tight spreads, efficient swaps. Low A means the pool hedges: it starts behaving like Uniswap, protecting itself at the tail. Here's what most people miss: A is set by governance. Curve DAO votes to raise it when peg confidence is high, drops it when risk arrives... usually 7 to 14 days before the rate changes actually hit. The 3pool sat at A=2000 heading into 2022. By March 2023, USDC depegged and the pool was draining fast and composition shifted from 33/33/33 to 28/36/36 in hours, because the flat zone that makes Curve efficient is exactly what lets arbs drain the healthy asset when something cracks. Tight spreads near peg. You pay it back at the tail. By the time CT noticed the depeg, the arb was already done. The people who read the A-factor governance proposals 10 days before knew the pool was hedging. Curve stopped making noise years ago. Every stable swap you make pays it rent. This is DEX Mechanics: one protocol, one mechanic, one edge per week. Which DEX do you want next? 👇🏻

Gold in price discovery while oil keeps moving on every Iran update. This week's macro is loud. @tradehotstuff has -1bps maker fees on all RWA pairs and a 5x maker points boost on GOLD, SILVER, WTI, and BRENT running this week. Pairs I'm already watching anyway, now cheaper to trade. Super200 comp runs June 9-16. pool scales to $4K at $200M platform volume. top 25 get paid. Hard to find a cheaper entry into commodity perps than -1bps maker right now. Check it out here : app.hotstuff.trade/join/sher…

Crypto never stops being weird. A few years ago people were chasing 20% yields on experimental protocols. Today I’m seeing stablecoins compete across exchanges, LP programs, portfolio margin systems, and staking products. The latest example is USD1 on @Gate through Soft Staking. Hold as little as 1 USD1, no lockup, hourly balance snapshots, rewards paid in $USD1. The campaign launched at 20% APR, though the rate adjusts as participation grows. Not telling anyone what to do, but interesting to see how aggressively platforms are competing for stablecoin liquidity right now.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: Don’t quit CT If you’re a creator, this is both the worst and the best market to be in The worst if you’re chasing quick results The best if you’re focused on building Keep showing up when nobody is watching and you will win

The play is never the move. It's the mind behind it. The World Series of Poker. Now dealt by Solana.

A 1-of-1 bridge config drained $193M from @aave because the protocol had no binding floor for bridge security. The four-layer risk framework proposed today closes that gap. Assets that fail get off-boarded. Kulechov confirmed it personally. Does the rest of DeFi follow?
Over the past several weeks, Aave has been developing a new risk framework that includes Asset Risk, Bridging Risk, Chain Risk, and advanced automation capabilities for risk management. This framework establishes a new standard for how Aave assesses, monitors, and manages risk across the protocol. After passing the proposal, the risk framework will be applied across all markets and assets. Assets that do not qualify for the new standard will be off-boarded from Aave over the coming weeks.
