Base go to mass adoption for Payment on World
Beyond being one of @ethereum leading L2 networks, @base is increasingly positioning itself as the blockchain for global payments.
The stablecoin and payment metrics on Base are beginning to reflect that vision:
- Deep liquidity across 25+ stablecoins.
- Sub-second settlement with transaction costs below one cent.
- Processing roughly 90% of agentic transaction volume.
- More than $4 trillion in monthly stablecoin volume.
- Native integration with Coinbase Payments.
These are the foundations required for mass adoption in global payments.
While many blockchains continue struggling with scalability, fragmented liquidity, or expensive transaction costs, Base offers an experience that feels almost invisible to the end user similar to traditional payment systems, but faster, cheaper, and more transparent.
- Businesses can integrate payments more easily.
- Merchants can receive funds almost instantly.
Users can move stablecoins globally without worrying about banking delays, excessive fees, or foreign exchange friction.
As someone who has followed Base since its early days, I believe the network is addressing one of the biggest challenges in crypto payments: usability for everyday users.
Coinbase brings distribution, liquidity, and a massive user base.
Combined with Base's growing payment infrastructure, the ecosystem has established a strong position within the onchain economy.
What makes the story even more interesting is the rise of AI agents on Base.
With ecosystems such as @virtuals_io driving agent adoption, Base is evolving beyond payments between humans.
It is increasingly becoming a platform for payments between humans, businesses, and autonomous AI agents.
I imagine that intersection between payments and agent economies could become one of the most important growth drivers for Base over the coming years.
DYOR.
Spent $397 → got a $25k funded account → withdrew ~$11k+ 👀
Crazy, but I just realized this is what funded capital done right on Solana can look like.
@solanafunded is basically a Solana-native prop firm built for memecoin traders.
You pay a small challenge fee, prove your edge, then trade with their capital, up to $100k, and withdraw profits onchain.
I think it’s a clean Other People’s Money setup.
Low personal downside, real upside if you actually know how to manage risk and size properly.
I’m probably going to buy a small package to test my trading skills haha.

Most people still view AI purely from the consumer side through apps like ChatGPT or Claude.
What the market is increasingly paying attention to now is the infrastructure behind it.
Who controls the models?
Who controls access?
Who controls the compute and data?
The recent reaction to Claude’s Fable 5 suspension highlighted a growing concern around how centralized modern AI platforms really are. 💻
Part of the strength in projects like $TAO lately comes from the idea that decentralized AI infrastructure could become increasingly valuable if demand for more open and censorship-resistant systems continues to grow.
It is definitely one of the more important narratives developing beneath the surface right now.
New week, Bitcoin back to $66k and crypto feels alive again!
Here are the top 5 events I’m watching this week, and you should too 👇
1. FOMC + Kevin Warsh’s first press conference as Fed Chair
The biggest macro event of the week.
The FOMC meeting runs on June 16–17, with Warsh’s first post-meeting press conference on June 17.
Markets are pricing in a near-certain hold, so the rate decision itself may not be the real event.
We should watch his tone: hawkish, neutral, or slightly softer?
Cuz that will matter for BTC, alts, ETF flows, and risk assets in general.
2. U.S–Iran deal progress
For the 1st time, a tentative U.S.–Iran peace framework has been reported, with Trump involved.
Markets now watching the ceasefire path, sanctions discussion, and Strait of Hormuz reopening.
Oil has already pulled back on hopes of de-escalation.
Lower oil pressure = less inflation pressure = more room for the Fed to stay patient.
Crypto may not trade geopolitics directly every day, but it definitely trades liquidity expectations.
3. Record Bitcoin ETF outflows
U.S. spot $BTC ETFs just went through their longest outflow streak since launch.
Roughly $4.3B–$4.4B left the products across 13 consecutive trading days from May 15 to June 3.
IBIT absorbed the largest share of the damage.
For me, this is one of the cleanest signals that institutional demand has weakened recently.
So I'm watching to see whether ETF flows stabilize or continue to confirm risk-off.
4. Berlin Blockchain Week 2026
Berlin Blockchain Week is running from June 13–21, and this is probably the biggest onchain event cluster of the week.
The #AI Agents Summit from June 18–21 is the one I’m watching most closely.
Focus areas include autonomous agents, agentic economy, AI trading, yield strategies, prediction markets, and hackathon builds.
Also worth watching: DeSci Berlin, DeFi meetups, Security x AI, Agentic Engineering, and crypto gaming events,...
Events like this often create the next wave of narratives, teams, demos, and alpha 💎
5. DeAI narrative stays hot
The #DeAI narrative is getting more attention again after Anthropic disabled access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 following a U.S. government export-control directive.
AI is becoming geopolitical infrastructure.
That naturally strengthens the case for decentralized AI networks, open compute, permissionless agents, and censorship-resistant model access.
Names like Bittensor / $TAO, Gensyn / $AI, agent projects, and DeAI infra should stay on the watchlist this week.
Especially with the AI Agents Summit happening in Berlin.
Have a great week ahead fam 🤞

Bybit is running a new SEA-focused campaign called Global Assets 100M Giveaway 👀
At first glance, it looks like another exchange promo.
But the interesting part is the scale + structure.
It is built around user activity inside @Bybit_Official ecosystem, which means the campaign rewards people who are already engaging with the platform.
What stands out:
- 100M global assets giveaway initiative
- SEA-focused participation
- Rewards tied to ecosystem activity
- Limited-time campaign
- More like a user engagement push than a simple one-off promo
For anyone already using Bybit, this is worth checking.
Big exchanges are clearly competing harder for active users again, and campaigns like this usually tell you where they want more attention and liquidity to flow next.

Breaking: The $SPCX pair on @HyperliquidX just hit $8.22B in trading volume in a single day.
no doubt that HL is gradually becoming the "onchain CEX layer" for everything: macro, RWA, and prediction markets.
my long-term thesis on HL remains unchanged:
the flywheel of volume → fees → $hype utility/buyback → liquidity → usage will keep self-reinforcing.
I think @3janexyz has been underground for months since inception.
Now it just opened public deposits and launched its liquidity mining program, so don’t sleep on it anymore.
The pool is now heavily focused on asset-backed facilities:
– Backed by actual fintech credit assets including consumer installment loans (LendSwift) and SMB lines of credit (Slope)
– Pool backing currently above 150%
– USD3 tranche overcollateralized at ~162%
– USD3 acts as the senior tranche, protected by sUSD3 j and first loss equity (for lendswift only)
Key stats so far:
– $10M senior warehouse facility with LendSwift (U.S. fintech lender)
– $8.5M whole loan purchase with Slope
– Current APY for USD3: 7.19% | sUSD3: 24.31%
If you want early exposure to $Jane, the LM program is a great opportunity. To join:
1/ Deposit USDC into 3Jane
2/ Mint USD3 (credit-backed yield-bearing stablecoin)
3/ Receive $JANE emissions weekly based on your TVL share
Note: $JANE is currently a non-transferable token, so it’s still early, iykyk.
So World Cup is abt to start tmr
And ICYMI: World Cup markets are already live on @42space.
Now, 42 is not a prediction market.
It's a very DeFi-native event trading protocol and if you're a trencher or speculative trader, buckle up cause this one might be for you.
Backed by YZi Labs, Coinbase Ventures, Dragonfly, and other top-tier investors, 42 is using demand-driven bonding curve instead of the traditional orderbook model used by PMs.
And that unlocks edges that simply don't exist elsewhere:
(1) Outcomes trade as assets: you are trading, not betting
> Every possible outcome is its own token.
> France wins the World Cup = token.
> Mbappé wins Golden Boot = token.
> Japan beats the Netherlands 2-1 = token.
Because these outcomes trade on a bonding curve, being early matters.
If you identify a narrative before the crowd and demand later flows into that outcome, the value of your position can appreciate long before the event resolves.
Here you can simply take profits and exit.
(2) Dynamic odds create opportunity
Unlike sportsbooks or traditional prediction markets, odds are not fixed when you enter.
Prices continuously reprice as demand moves between outcomes.
-> Every development changes the market: this creates opportunities, but also requires more active position management.
If you stay through settlement and your outcome wins, the final market pool (which is full event collateral) is distributed pro rata among winning holders.
Higher upside, more responsibility, more game.
What I'm buying:
For this cycle, I'm going with #France to lift the trophy.
My buddies are all on Spain because of the hype and young talent, but I think France knows how to close these things out.
So my plan is simple: Long France.
Add a few smaller positions elsewhere as hedges.
Trade around the narratives as the tournament evolves.
That's the key difference.
This is not "pick a winner and wait." It's trading the World Cup itself.
Every new piece of information creates opportunity.
If you're looking for a place to actively trade World Cup narratives and unlock some serious upside, 42 is worth checking out

You don’t know which coin to DCA in this market?
👉 Just buy hyperliquid:native.
– @HyperliquidX is processing around $9.6B in 24H perp volume and ~$227B over the last 30D
This is no longer “future PMF”, I see real usage.
– Cumulative perp volume has already crossed $ 4.6T
Hyperliquid now looks more like a real exchange business than just the early version of a DeFi trading app.
– 99% of perp + spot orderbook fees go to the Assistance Fund to buy back hyperliquid:native.
Usage → fees → buybacks → token demand.
Very few altcoins have such a clean loop.
– Q1 2026 gross protocol revenue was around $ 218M
Q2 2026 is already around $153M so far, after a breakout 2025 with nearly $1B in revenue.
#3 protocol by revenue, only behind the two largest stablecoin issuers in the market: Tether and Circle.
You can't invest in a better PMF than this.
– Bitwise launched $BHYP, a spot Hyperliquid ETF on NYSE
21Shares also has a HYPE product.
That means HYPE now has regulated access rails for traditional allocators.
– Coinbase became the official USDC treasury deployer on Hyperliquid
> opening up a second revenue engine beyond trading fees: reserve yield.
– HIP-3 and HIP-4 help Hyperliquid expand beyond crypto perps
Pre-IPO assets, commodities, outcome markets, and more 24/7 onchain markets.
I still remember when CT mostly treated HYPE as just the token of the top perp DEX.
That was true.
But Hyperliquid is slowly becoming something bigger:
An onchain exchange OS with real usage, real revenue, buyback demand, and institutional distribution.
Still volatile and risky.
But if I had to DCA one alt rn, hyperliquid:native is definitely #1 in my tier list. NFA.
► Mapping Fundraising Lane
Alright, I think crypto is finding another bottom now.
Timeline is full of bears but I believe there are real builders still grinding in silence.
Those are the names gonna pull fresh money in the new cycle. So I tried mappingevery fundraising lane instead of reading FUD for whales stomach my bag.
The new meta is community, attention, TVL, infra, then capital comes wrapped inside that.
1/ VC rounds
The cleanest money when a project needs runway, legal cover, hiring power, BD, and serious investor signaling.
Seed still sits around $1M-$5M, but the real size has moved up the stack.
My Tier S VCs: @a16z, @sequoia, @paradigm, @PanteraCapital, @dragonfly_xyz
2/ Community private sales
This is the new angel round for CT. Projects sell token allocations to curated, KYC'd, crypto-native investors and use that investor base as distribution from day one.
Highest launchpads by ROI so far: @echodotxyz, @MetaDAOProject, @legiondotcc, @buidlpad
3/ Public token sales (IDO, IEO, ICO)
Old ICOs died, but structured public sales survived. The model works when a platform provides KYC, reputation, allocation, a listing path, and user distribution.
Each model/platform fits a different project tier.
High-tier platforms: @CoinList, CEX launchpads
Mid/low-tier platforms: @polkastarter, @NozomiNetwork, @KaitoAI, @impossible_
4/ Auction-based sales
The most honest price discovery model when done right. Instead of fixed-price games where whales camp allocations, auctions let market demand find the clearing price.
Mechanics: @FjordFoundry LBPs, CoinList queue sales, Dutch auctions, batch auctions.
5/ Permissionless launchpads
Anyone can launch, price moves on demand, graduation sends liquidity to a DEX, and attention becomes the first source of capital.
Top platforms: @Pumpfun, @bonkfun, @virtuals_io, @bankrbot, @fourdotmemezh.
6/ Points-to-TGE
The most important fundraising innovation, imo. Projects don't raise cash directly, they raise TVL, activity, volume, data, content, and user lock-in, then repay users with token airdrops later.
Most valuable points programs to date: $HYPE, $LIT, $MON
7/ Node sales
DePIN found its own fundraising primitive. Sell node licenses, raise capital, decentralize infra, and turn buyers into operators who need the network to work.
Node sales: @AethirCloud, @Rivalz_AI, @huddle01com, @HivelloOfficial
8/ NFT fundraising
Much smaller now, but not gone. The pure JPEG raise died, but NFT mints still work when attached to IP, gaming, memberships, infra access, or node rights.
9/ Ecosystem grants
For early teams, $50k to $5M from a chain foundation can help them survive. It's also how L1s and L2s bribe builders without calling it bribing builders.
Ecosystems with huge grant programs: @arbitrum, @Optimism, @SuiFoundation, @SolanaFndn, @avax
10/ KOL rounds
The dirtiest but still very real fundraising method. Projects give discounted allocations to influencers, influencers give attention, and CT pretends everyone discovered the project organically.
None of these fundraising methods are objectively better than the others.
Each one optimizes for something different and attracts a different crowd. Different tools for different projects and different people.
But that's another crypto primitive entirely: building a new capital market on top of the internet.
