I fired my accountant this tax season. In just over 2 hours, Claude helped me file my taxes, saving thousands in fees and turning something I used to dread into something I actually understood. Every deduction covered. Every rule checked. More confident in my filing than I ever was with a CPA. And a sense of accomplishment I didn't expect. The game has changed.

Did you know that 40% of TOTAL USDT supply on Solana and Ethereum is in @binance's wallets? Or which memecoin trading pair holds a measurable share of a major stablecoin's Solana supply? Find these and more "fun" distribution facts in our latest stablecoin report 👇 Shout out to @zuk1818, @werningfacundo, @GarrettHarper_, @thenouxnoux, @nicoleschaeferr, @denney808 and countless others for collab'ing with Range to create this report

1/ 3 exchanges hold 36% of $180B in USD stablecoins. Binance alone holds ~$46B! Our new report, Dollar Supremacy, maps the full distribution of USDT, USDC, USDe, PYUSD, and USDG across Ethereum and Solana. Here's what the data shows 🧵👇

A woman on the train saw I was visibly stressed because I got on the wrong car (1st class) with a ton of luggage and gear. So she bought me a coffee and Easter chocolate. Just a simple reminder that it doesn’t take much to spread kindness!

FX Market Structure and Onchain Design FX markets behave very differently across currency pairs. Liquidity, volatility and execution dynamics all shape how trades actually clear. This panel will examine how these realities translate onchain, from slippage and liquidity gaps to the design requirements needed for FX infrastructure to support real payment and treasury flows. On stage: • Martin Krung (@martinkrung), @curvefinance • Dr. Ivy Schuhmacher, @DeutscheBank • Denney Kwok (@denney808), @MentoLabs Moderator: Tesa Ho (@defin00b), Flashbots
