The pace of experimentation in crypto is still unmatched.
In the span of a single week, we saw major progress across privacy, tokenized equities, AI tooling, stablecoin yield products, onchain trading infrastructure, and even improved security and network scalability.
At the same time, liquidity continues flowing toward protocols offering stronger incentives, better products, and more efficient markets.
Here’s the full breakdown of last week and all you need to know about this week.
