programmable finance
DeFi will have quietly died by the end of this year. It is now reborn as “onchain finance”.

CME Goes 24/7 for Bitcoin Futures, Ending the “CME Gap” Era CME Group announced that it will officially enter the around-the-clock crypto market. Starting this Friday, CME Bitcoin futures and options will trade 24/7 on the Globex electronic trading platform, with only a 60-minute maintenance pause each Sunday from 18:00 to 19:00 UTC 8. The shift means the long-standing “CME gap” caused by weekend market closures will disappear.

Material token information should be on the record, not guesswork. Turtle filed a B2 Token Transparency Filing to do exactly that.

I have sources that say otherwise, not you personally but your team and/or lobbyists. Will you commit to walk away from the market structure bill if it doesn’t include the de minimis exemption for bitcoin like you did stablecoin yield?

Coinbase is quietly lobbying to kill Bitcoin's de minimis tax exemption. The company reportedly told legislators that "no one is using Bitcoin as money" and that a Bitcoin de minimis exemption would be "DOA." Meanwhile, they're pushing for the exemption to apply only to stablecoins, specifically regulated, dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDC. Coinbase made $1.35 billion in stablecoin revenue in 2025, up 48% year over year, almost entirely from interest earned on U.S. Treasuries held in USDC reserves. Bloomberg estimates that number could surge 7x under the GENIUS Act. Every person who uses USDC for payments instead of Bitcoin is a person whose dollars are sitting in Coinbase's reserve pool generating risk-free yield for Coinbase. A de minimis exemption for Bitcoin would let people spend it freely for everyday purchases without triggering a taxable event. That makes Bitcoin a direct competitor to USDC as a payment method. Coinbase doesn't want that competition. They want you locked into their centralized stablecoin ecosystem where they clip yield on every dollar you park there. The irony is that a de minimis exemption doesn't even make sense for stablecoins. They're pegged to the dollar. They don't fluctuate in value. There's no capital gain to exempt. The exemption matters for Bitcoin precisely because it does fluctuate, and without it, every coffee purchase becomes a taxable event. Senator Lummis proposed a $300 de minimis exemption that would cover Bitcoin. The House framework only covers stablecoins under $200. The Bitcoin Policy Institute has already warned that Bitcoin is being deliberately excluded from these talks. A de minimis exemption that covers stablecoins but not Bitcoin isn't a tax framework. It's a subsidy for Coinbase's treasury management business disguised as consumer protection.

Over the last week I’ve spent a lot of time speaking with teams across curation, distribution, security and due diligence. Each one impressive in its own way. One thing is clear. Curating vaults, optimizing yield and setting risk standards are real businesses with real upside. When I started Curator Watch the goal was simple. Give depositors a clean way to index the largest DeFi money managers and add a layer of transparency. That mission hasn’t changed. We want to partner with as many curators, platforms and protocols as possible who believe this space deserves better. Right now the focus is getting the foundation right. Accurate reliable data. Fees, yields, liquidations at the curator and vault level. Expanding to more protocols, more distributors and of course more curators. Build it properly first.

In 7 years, my son will take a Tesla taxi to Lake Travis for his weekly Tuesday morning sailing instruction. On the way there, he will learn either Geometry or Spanish, and on the way back he’ll be quizzed on the day’s lessons—a perfect mix between Spanish and sailing, all within the bounds of a self-driving car modulated to emulate a working desk. A perfectly scheduled balance, no more wasting 7 hours of his day in a schoolroom.
Homeschooling is obviously gonna be massive in the next years. Just like social media replaced news. And onchain is replacing banks. Pods will replace schools. We just need the infra: 1/ Learning platforms 2/ Find other parents 3/ Physical space How can I long this??

Two teams shipping curator analytics in the same week tells you something. The DeFi curator model is working. Capital is flowing to professional vault managers. But transparency lags. Morpho built protocol-level. We're building cross-protocol at @CuratorWatch. 47 curators, $728M tracked, real-time alerts live now. This is just the beginning 📈 curatorwatch.com
