Banking interests are trying to throw mud on the windshield and cloud the debate over CLARITY.
Lost in the D.C. wrangling is the American consumer—and what THEY actually want.
That’s the focus of my latest for @CoinDesk
Isn’t it past time we thought about the little guy? 👇
New @defidecodedpod is out!
I sit down with Anthony Bassili, President of Coinbase Asset Management.
We discuss:
The role of crypto in a portfolio
Bridging Wall Street to Web3
Getting investors 'off zero'
Their new $CUSHY yield product
and more!

A Canadian CBDC is a solution in search of a problem.
If the concern is dollarization of the Canadian economy, then Canada should be leaning into private sector innovation, not time consuming 'proof of concepts,' which is just innovation theatre for the big banks.
Instead we should implement the stablecoin framework already passed in the March budget and create the conditions for Canadian startups and fintechs (and banks, if so inclined) to issue regulated, Canadian-dollar stablecoins.
We don't need a state-run digital currency to future-proof our money and financial system.
We just need a government that lets private sector innovators invent and build their own.
My friend @syrupsid is one of crypto’s most underrated builders. He’s grown @maplefinance into a $4 billion juggernaut through bull and bear markets.
How?
By balancing innovation, risk and operational excellence.
Great to catch up with Sid on this week’s @defidecodedpod 👇
The Internet is evolving - from an Internet of Information to an Internet of Value, powered by blockchain.
In the last era, the winners were the MAG7 - Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, and Nvidia - trillion-dollar platforms that dominated the core verticals of the Internet:
Search — Google
Social — Meta
Retail — Amazon
Mobile/Cloud — Apple
Enterprise — Microsoft
Media — Netflix
Compute — Nvidia
They became the gatekeepers of the Information Age.
But the next era will belong to a new group — the DAG7, or Digital Asset Group of Seven — protocols, not
platforms, that will power the Internet of Value.
The DAG7 will be different.
The leaders of this new era won’t be companies with walled gardens, but open networks — decentralized, programmable, and global by design.
So far, three leaders have clearly emerged:
Bitcoin ($BTC) - the onchain store of value
Ethereum ($ETH) - the onchain dApp ecosystem
Solana ($SOL) - the onchain capital markets layer
In other words, we’re still early. It's still DAG3 - for now.
Over time, new protocols will rise to dominate other critical verticals:
Crypto x AI - the protocol uniting the two great technologies of our time
Enterprise Blockchains - the platform that can launch a thousand corporate chains
The Everything Exchange - a universal onchain marketplace for all digital assets
Onchain Social - identity, payments, and proof of personhood for the Web3 era
And perhaps more we haven’t yet imagined.
I introduced this idea of the DAG7 at @token2049 in Singapore.
The next trillion-dollar entities won’t be corporations. They’ll be protocols.
If you’re curious about how the Internet of Value will reshape business, finance, and culture, check it out.

I keep hearing about 200k BTC owned by the US Government. 96k BTC is from the Bitfinex hack, after due process I would expect those stolen funds to be returned to Bitfinex.
