I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
Ethereum's monthly transactional count has reached a record high.
Meanwhile, transactional fees have reached a record low.
More activity and low fees.
This is why institutions continue to build on $ETH.
Onchain investors are piling into tokenized US Treasuries.
Total onchain Treasury funds now have a record high market cap of $16.2 billion, up +77% year-to-date.
But, why?
The growth is being driven by a surge in demand to earn a yield onchain by using US Treasury Bills as collateral.
Increasingly, users are depositing tokenized Treasuries, borrowing stablecoins against them, and deploying those stablecoins into DeFi strategies.
Using onchain platforms like Jupiter, these positions can even be "looped" through a lending program.
This looping mechanism allows users to repeatedly borrow and redeploy capital, pushing annualized yields above 10% in some cases.
In our view, tokenized Treasuries are becoming a key part of the foundation of onchain finance.
