🔥 BIG: Binance now owns $100M of Circle stock and signed a five-year deal to push USDC to its users.
The world's biggest exchange is now a shareholder in the company behind USDC.
Shaquille O'Neal looked his six kids dead in the eye and told them they were not touching a single cent of his $400 million empire unless they earned two college degrees first. He made it clear: "We ain't rich. I'm rich."
The best part is that he actually enforces it.
When his son Myles wanted to be a DJ, Shaq made him present a full business model before funding a single piece of equipment. Today, Myles holds a Las Vegas residency.
His son Shareef is working a real job for his dad at Reebok.
His oldest daughter Taahirah graduated Magna Cum Laude and went straight into corporate communications.
And just this past May, his son Shaqir graduated from college and immediately announced he was going back for his second degree just to meet his father's baseline standard.
We live in a culture where parents bend over backward to give their kids everything they never had, but in the process, they strip away all their drive and character. Shaq realized that handing his children everything would ultimately teach them absolutely nothing about the value of hard work.
Fame and wealth didn't stop him from being a traditional father who demands accountability. How many other parents actually have the backbone to raise their kids with this kind of standard today?
Every Parent should watch this video.
Now I understand why that father followed his daughters to the toilet despite the backlash he faced.
We live in very dark times

Humanoids are starting to assemble their own hands in the lab. We are cooking.
This five finger dexterous hand can handle grasping positioning and precision assembly with force feedback for more controlled contact with objects.
Seeing a humanoid work on components that belong to its own hardware is a pretty wild robotics moment.
CZ breaks down how the Binance ecosystem actually works beyond just the exchange
► https://t.co/lyl6u2AXNg the CEX, exists mainly for one job: onboarding new users. It's the easy on-ramp, email, password, customer support, the format people already understand.
► Beyond that is the wider BNB ecosystem, including BNB Chain, which hosts a large number of projects on its own.
► There's also YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), which invests across the broader crypto ecosystem, not just projects tied to BNB.
► Behind all of it, teams work on things most users never see: government education, lobbying, relationships, and policy advisory.
