1/ Snapshot taken! The Ondo Points Program has reached an exciting milestone.
Several campaigns have now closed, and everyone who participated in these campaigns will soon be able to claim their rewards. 🧵
clarity act proposes banning all passive yield on USDC. circle equity already down 17%. but $40b+ in USDC sitting in aave, compound, morpho, curve yield vaults hasn't flinched. that lag is the trade. when depositors start front-running a potential ban, DeFi borrowing rates go vertical and protocol liquidity collapses. tether operates outside US jurisdiction so USDT becomes the only yield-bearing dollar in DeFi. USDC went from 22% to 31% market share in 18 months. that entire gain reverses if this passes. coinbase publicly rejected the draft which means the amended version probably requires yield products to register as securities instead of outright ban. either way the 90 day window before clarity emerges is going to compress DeFi yields and accelerate offshore migration. the market is still pricing "regulation is bullish" generically when this is a targeted kill shot on a specific business model

🚨BREAKING: Bitcoin just dumped below Michael Saylor’s average buying price with an unrealized loss of $900 million.
Does this mean $MSTR will go bankrupt soon and start selling BTC ? No.
Let’s understand why. 👇
This is not the first time Strategy has seen Bitcoin trade below its average purchase price. In the last cycle, Strategy’s average cost was around $30,000. Bitcoin later dropped to nearly $16,000, more than 45% below their cost.
Despite that, Strategy did not sell any Bitcoin and faced no forced liquidation.
Because Strategy’s Bitcoin is not used as collateral. There are no margin calls tied to Bitcoin’s price. Their debt is primarily unsecured and most maturities are in 2028-2030, not near term. Total debt is roughly $8.24B, while their Bitcoin holdings are still worth $53.54 billion, even at current prices.
And now, Strategy has even set aside 2.5 years of cash runway to cover interest and dividend payments. This means they do not need to sell Bitcoin to meet obligations, even if BTC stays below cost for some time.
This is why we explained this exact scenario in our earlier post, the idea that a short move below average cost triggers forced selling does not match how Strategy’s balance sheet works.
Yes, Saylor has acknowledged that if Bitcoin stays well below cost for a very long period, selling BTC could eventually be considered.
But a short term move below average cost does not change their liquidity, solvency, or ability to hold Bitcoin.
