DTCC processes a majority of trades in the U.S. stock market. This year, they went on stage at SmartCon and talked about building with The Graph. The institutions aren't coming. They're here 🏛️
THE CRYPTO 2026 SURPRISE SETUP.
Everyone’s waiting for fireworks.
But what’s coming is different:
- QT ends
- Rate cuts begin
- Liquidity returns
- Dollar impulse fades
- Global M2 turns up
This isn’t mania.
It’s absorption.
Smart money is already positioning.
🔥 CZ WON THE BITCOIN DEBATE IN LESS THAN A MINUTE
CZ pulled out a gold bar during the Bitcoin v. Gold debate and asked Peter Schiff to verify if it was real. Schiff was unable to verify it without having extra tools.
CZ seized the moment to push the point that Bitcoin transactions are verified instantly, on the blockchain— while gold still struggles with basic authentication.
Many think "the cycle" has topped. Some think months ago.
What if we're barely halfway, with the parabolic phase yet to begin?
This cycle's uniquely glacial pace is confounding many.
Time can shake as many loose as volatility, if not more.
Coinbase has always been about increasing economic freedom, and this factors into the state where we choose to incorporate. Texas has a strong culture of celebrating builders who are growing our economy, creating prosperity for all. They've also embraced crypto.
By this metric, it was an easy choice.
Thank you Governor @GregAbbott_TX for your leadership.
After years of R&D, the CEO of The Graph core dev Edge & Node @rodventures has announced Amp ⚡
Amp is the world’s first blockchain-native database built for the speed, scale, and security of modern finance. Amp transforms encoded onchain data into real-time, verifiable, and compliant datasets that are transparent, auditable, and composable.
For several years, data infrastructure has lagged behind the pace of blockchain. Amp changes that by making blockchain data accessible with SQL queries, pulling data across multiple blockchains, with easy-to-audit data lineage, and enterprise-ready deployments for any environment, from private cloud to on-prem.
Amp is the first blockchain-native database that lets builders create, remix, and run smart contract datasets locally with zero setup.
From tokenized assets and stablecoins to AI-powered compliance, Amp gives enterprises the missing layer between blockchain and business.
The Graph made blockchain data usable.
Amp makes blockchain data enterprise-grade.
