🚨 The silent math destroying your wealth:

Your cash loses 4-5% of its purchasing power EVERY year.
The economy grows ~2%.

That’s a 7% headwind. Annually. Forever.

Prices double every 10-12 years.
Your savings? Cut in half in 15.

Cash isn’t safe, it’s decaying.

Meanwhile, you’re scared of a 30% dip in crypto?

Inflation is the loss you take by doing NOTHING.
The dip is the discount you capture by ACTING.

The dip isn’t the danger.
The dip is the answer. 📉➡️📈

Don’t fight the math. Use it.

[Tether @tether]

Tether is leading a landmark Series C financing round of up to $1.4 billion for NEURA Robotics, @NEURARobotics , representing one of the largest private investment rounds in humanoid robotics history.

As robotics moves into true autonomy, payment and compute systems must evolve. Tether is deploying its core technologies directly into the Neuraverse ecosystem. By integrating our open-source Wallet Development Kit ( @WDK_tether), we are embedding self-custodial wallet functionality into advanced robots so they can independently participate in the economic system. Simultaneously, NEURA will deploy Tether’s @QVAC edge-first AI runtime, allowing AI models to execute locally on-device rather than relying on remote cloud infrastructure.

Together, Tether and NEURA Robotics are building the foundation for the machine economy.

Yes this is good for ethereum:0x8292bb45bf1ee4d140127049757c2e0ff06317ed and ripple:native

[Ripple @Ripple]

As AI agents begin transacting on behalf of businesses, payments need more than speed. They need trust, controls, and clear rules for how value moves.

We're helping build the infrastructure for trusted agent-driven payments, with the XRP Ledger and $RLUSD helping lay the foundation for the future of commerce.

We're pleased to be part of the ecosystem supporting @Mastercard's Agent Pay for Machines initiative, helping validate new use cases, establish common rules, and accelerate adoption.

Consumer Prices in the US rose 4.5% per year over the last 5 years and over 24% in total.

2% inflation is a myth.

They won't do it, but the Fed should be hiking rates at the FOMC meeting next week.

The amount of research going into this area is extensive - we will cover more on the podcast coming soon - some interesting intersection with blockchain.

[Mgoes (bio/acc 🤖💉) @m_goes_distance]

we are probably 6 to 12 months away from the first pill designed to make you biologically younger

today just changed the stakes

the first ever reverse-aging drug was just injected into a human. Life Biosciences. David Sinclair. today, an actual human patient.

here is everything pointing at the same moment:

- Sinclair is also testing an oral reprogramming pill in the $101M XPRIZE. whole-body rejuvenation. a 10-year biological age improvement in one year of treatment
- scientists just discovered ABT-263 dramatically reverses aging in skin and speeds wound healing. topical. already works
- NewLimit raised $435M from Peter Thiel to deliver age reprogramming to the liver
- semaglutide slowed biological aging by 9% on epigenetic clocks. a diabetes drug doing this on the side

the convergence is coming

Earth's power grids are bottlenecked, so SpaceX is taking AI to low Earth orbit. 🚀

The newly unveiled AI1 satellite is essentially a flying Nvidia GB300-class server rack. It features a massive 70-meter wingspan, a 150 kW solar array, and a 110 m² deployable liquid cooling radiator to dump massive compute heat directly into the vacuum of space.

Unconstrained by terrestrial electricity and water limits, the orbital data center race has officially begun. 🌐💫 It took 9 years for @tesla to reach full FSD; with AI and new chips, this concept may take 3.

🔥Huge for Morpho - bigger for Crypto. New paths are being formed as we watch in real time!

[Paul Frambot 🦋 @PaulFrambot]

We’ve just raised $175M, in a round co-led by @paradigm, @a16zcrypto, and @RibbitCapital, the largest raise DeFi has ever seen.

Credit is the bedrock of our civilization, but the infrastructure underneath is fragmented, extractive, and closed to most of the world. That is what @Morpho is here to change.

Morpho is building the open credit network for the world. The global credit market is $ 200T. We are building the infrastructure layer that will move it onchain, and every institution, fintech, and bank that wants to participate in the next era of finance will connect to this network.

After four years of being heads down building Morpho, we now count more than $11B in deposits and integrations with leading financial institutions including @Coinbase, @Binance, @FireblocksHQ, @SG_Forge, @krakenfx, @Bitwise, and dozens of others building on Morpho to offer better products to their users. But this is just the beginning.

This raise will allow us to accelerate: activating the global credit network at scale, building the go-to-market engine to match our ambition, and bringing more institutions onto the network faster.

Having any kind of onchain strategy in this era will mean going through Morpho at some point. Reach out and let's talk. And if you want to help build the open credit network for the world, we have plenty of open roles.

Let’s fly 🦋

S&P 500 earnings are now expected to increase by 25% this year. We've never seen earnings growth this high outside of post-recessionary rebounds. An unprecedented boom fueled by massive EPS gains in big tech.

Clarity next?

[Eleanor Terrett @EleanorTerrett]

🚨SCOOP: The House Ways and Means Committee is circulating a package of SEVEN digital asset tax discussion drafts that would overhaul how crypto is taxed in the U.S.

The bills tackle everything from stablecoin transactions, mining and staking, crypto lending and wash sale rules to charitable donations and a voluntary disclosure program for taxpayers with past digital asset reporting issues.

The move effectively breaks apart the broader Miller-Horsford Digital Asset PARITY Act, as well as similar legislation introduced last year by @SenLummis, into a series of standalone proposals.

The drafts will likely feature prominently at Tuesday’s scheduled Ways and Means hearing on crypto taxation.

[PaulBarron @paulbarron]

[vibhu @vibhu]

Historic day for @solana:

For the first time ever, HYPE did more spot volume on Solana than all centralized exchanges in the last 24 hours.

This is truly insane, IMO. For an asset that didn't exist on Solana until just a few months ago.

ZEC also did more volume than all CEXes (other than the binance ZEC/USDT market).

BTC also posted almost $200m in 24h volume.

My guess: Solana is going to eat global spot trading marketshare in everything.

First from CEXes for all crypto assets. Then from trad spot exchanges for equities.

Lower fees, self custody assets, fully open & transparent markets that anyone can participate in, and a huge amount of distribution through hundreds of front-ends

This is a winning product formula.

[Solana @solana]

97% of all tokenized stock trading last month happened on Solana.

A month of records across real-world assets, stablecoins, perps, and collectibles.

Here are a few figures that mattered:

[PaulBarron @paulbarron]

Not surprising

[Election Wizard @ElectionWiz]

Remarkable shift in LA.

In 2024, the city voted 70%+ for Kamala Harris.

Right now, its two Democratic mayoral candidates, Bass and Raman, combined are just ~57%, while Spencer Pratt holds 30%+ and is advancing to the Nov. runoff.

🔵 Bass 34.8%
🔴 Pratt 30.4%
🔵 Raman 22.3%

[XRP Ledger Foundation @XRPLF]

Mastercard plans to expand its integration with the XRP Ledger to support always-on settlements and time-sensitive intraday payment flows.

The move will leverage the XRP Ledger’s near-instant finality, predictable low fees, and proven 14-year track record.
