Big banks generate ~70–80% of their net interest income from depositor funding – cheap deposits that they recycle into higher-yield assets. Products like Coinbase ONE start breaking that model by giving users yield closer to the underlying rate.

Ethereum is still the stablecoin balance sheet, while L2s are becoming the distribution pipes. Over the last year, Ethereum supply climbed from $135B → $184B (+36%) , while major L2s expanded even faster, $13.7B → $19.1B (+40%). Same system, different roles: L1 stores the dollars, L2s move them. #Ethereum $ETH

The legislation would affect prediction-market platforms including Kalshi and Polymarket’s U.S. platform.

Ceteris on why Crypto AI still makes the most sense.
"Everyone soured on AI in crypto because agents pumped and dumped, but it's still the area that makes the most sense. This whole solo founder era, those founders are not venture backable. They don't need to raise a ton of money. Capital formation has always seemed like crypto's killer use case." #AI
BTC and ETH Have Been Clearly Defined as Non-Securities On March 18 at the DC Blockchain Summit 2026, SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced a new token taxonomy and investment contract interpretation framework, ending long-standing regulatory uncertainty.

Only "digital securities" (tokenized traditional securities) fall under securities laws. Atkins emphasized that the SEC is no longer the "Securities and Everything Commission."
