Some bangers from the SEC today:
1) buybacks do not make a commodity token into a security
2) liquid staking tokens for commodities are not securities

The agentic economy is not going to run through the Bank of England. It's going to run onchain.
Billions of agents will hold money, lend, borrow and hedge at machine speed.
Very soon DeFi will become agent treasury infrastructure. https://t.co/EhuS9syHs4
📊 Bitcoin Sentiment vs. Price Action
BTC remains below resistance and stuck in a low-volatility range, yet derivatives traders continue leaning long.
Sentiment is acting like Bitcoin is already at $80K, but price hasn’t confirmed it.
Is this bullish positioning ahead of a breakout, or a warning that longs are getting crowded?

It's all so fucking obvious and people are still desperate to trade it away.
Look at everything that's happening right now… Banks and asset managers are moving their products onto blockchain rails and everywhere you look people are building AI agents.
Liquidity is flowing, the Clarity Act is coming and the geopolitical noise looks like it might finally settle.
It's all right in front of us. And the correct move is the boring one.
Buy a handful of the highest-quality L1s, the ones capturing the real economic activity, and hold. That's the whole game right there.
The people trying to be clever and trade this cycle are the ones who’ll eventually blow this up.
The only way to lose from here is to overthink it.
We shipped a new Liquidity Comparison dashboard: cross-venue liquidity analytics for @HyperliquidX vs Binance, Coinbase, Lighter, OKX, and Bybit.
Compare depth, spreads, and slippage across venues in real time.
Very welcome recent news from Signal: they are working on letting you register an account without a phone number.

That said, an important counterpoint about what this would and would not accomplish.
The good #1: reducing dependence on phone numbers. Even aside from privacy benefits, reducing dependency on a highly oligopolistic system of chokepoints is good in itself.
The good #2: phone numbers are for many people not a good "root" of identity from an access control perspective. Phone numbers get sim swapped all the time.
The good #3: allowing phone-number-free accounts will make it harder for them in the future to discriminate against people by country - and so make it harder for governments to pressure them to block their own citizens.
Now, on privacy. Significantly better than status quo, so yes it is good #4, but...
In practice, in 2026, I believe that pseudonymity (a long-term persistent account that is not tied to your primary identity) is a dead concept. There are just too many channels by which we accidentally slowly leak data about who we are - timing of messages, the pattern of who we send messages to with what frequency, size, etc. And too many highly effective AI-based means (both using LLMs per-user, and LLMs helping every person and agency under the sun use math that we had all along) to uncover and piece together those hints.
As a trivial example, whatever server you interact with learns your IP address, but even if you hide *that* with a VPN or Tor, there are many other identity leakage vectors.
And so the only defensible form of privacy is *message-by-message unlinkability* - no one except sender and receiver knows the (sender, receiver) pair, ideally even not knowing who the sender or the receiver are.
A natural taxonomy of privacy is the following 2x2:
* Sitting duck: adversary knows "X did Y"
* Confidentiality: adversary knows "X did ???" [E2E encryption provides this]
* Anonymity: adversary knows "??? did Y" [aka message-by-message unlinkability]
* Ideal: adversary knows "??? did ???"
Signal has already had confidentiality for a long time. (Note: in other contexts, "confidentiality" sometimes means "someone knows X did Y, and we trust that someone to not reveal it", ie. not true privacy. Here, by confidentiality we mean hiding contents from third parties)
This adds pseudonymity: in the above schema, adversary knows "0x8b512c... did Y", where they don't initially know who 0x8b512c... is, but may figure that out over time. The ideal is getting to message-by-message unlinkability.
Actually accomplishing that gets into territory that is currently being explored by mixnet projects as well as newer messengers, eg. @session_app and @SimpleXChat.
Once we get deeper into this territory, I suspect the primary frontier will be spam and DoS protection. Right now, much of the internet blocks all Tor exit nodes - not because they personally hate privacy, but because that's where DoS attacks come from. So we need ways for people to prove their non-spammer status while maintaining message-by-message unlinkability. See here https://t.co/C3tX5tOYJo for one direction (which complements https://t.co/1Q2Hqg0DZg nicely).
So I hope that we appreciate the victory that is mainstreaming of end-to-end encryption, that we actually get Signal accounts without phone number dependency (it's a great thing even if it had zero privacy consequences), and then that we keep moving forward and pushing the frontier of data leakage minimization.
Attn ETH Bulls: @Morpho, one of the top 10 largest DeFi protocols on Ethereum has a massive product release for fixed rate, fixed term, intent-based lending and borrowing 👀
Morpho has become one of the most important protocols for growing DeFi on Ethereum L1 and L2s, thanks in part to its distribution achieved via integrations with CEXs, fintechs, and TradFi, ie Coinbase x Base and Robinhood x RH Chain.
All the details from @PaulFrambot in a new @Edge_Pod!
Airplanes don’t stop taking off on weekends. We think global money movement shouldn't either. ✈️

Prime brokers and retail platforms like Robinhood and Schwab, etc earn sizable revenue by lending out the stocks that individuals/funds hold in their account. They typically keep 50-85% of the borrow fees, passing only a small share back to you.
More broadly, the Securities lending market sees roughly $4.6 trillion in securities on loan globally and generates around $35 billion in revenue, with brokers capturing the majority of that.
The gtm for Tokenizing equities will be providing utility with Aave V4. It creates a better model: supply tokenized stocks onchain, earn the full borrow rates directly with real-time transparency, dynamic pricing, no rehypothecation and no middlemen taking the lion’s share.
