Native USDC is coming to Cronos.
Some of you are thinking "don't we have USDC?"
We have a bridged version; slow & expensive to move size
Native USDC lets real volume move onchain
In time for the Cronos app this summer: predictions, sports, crypto, stocks, commodities

A video call crosses two continents in real time.
A $500 cross-border payment? HOURS to days, three intermediaries, high fees.
Stablecoins close fix this.
Our guide breaks down the four layers of onchain payments and how to wire them together: https://t.co/0SgR9M601t
🚨 Why betting on $POL over crowded mega-caps
Polygon is on track for $100M revenue run rate in 2026 — that’s ~1/8 of its entire market cap.
Just raised another $100M.
Holds hundreds of millions in treasury.
Dropped $250M on a licensed U.S. payments business right before the Clarity Act.
Yet the token still trades below $1B FDV.
I’d rather risk it all on real infrastructure & regulatory edge than chase assets every fund & KOL already owns at $10B–$200B valuations.
Smart money sees the disconnect. 👀💎

Respect to @saylor & @Strategy!
From Oct 2022 (130k BTC at ~$20k, near debt crisis, MSTR ~$13) → raising $60B+, adding 716k+ BTC, now $48B reserves surplus.
Conviction wins. Thank you to everyone in the #CryptoCommunity who believed and endured.
#Bitcoin#MSTR#Strategy#HODL"
When I gave this speech in October 2022, Bitcoin traded near $20,000, Strategy held 130,000 BTC worth about $2.6 billion, and $MSTR was ~$24 split-adjusted. Weeks later, after Bitcoin fell below $16,000, our debt exceeded the combined value of our BTC and cash reserves by ~$300 million, and $MSTR fell into the $13 range by year-end.
We stayed focused, strengthened the company, and executed our strategy. Since then, Strategy has raised over $60 billion of additional capital and invested it in Bitcoin, adding more than 716,000 BTC. Today, our BTC and USD reserves exceed debt by ~$48 billion. Thank you to everyone who believed, endured, and took the long view.
SuperNova is going to change everything
No other chain / architecture is capable of full sharding, sub second one shot finality, 120K TPS, all running on low cost machines, with over 3200 nodes.
Nothing comes close to this.
LG's onchain advertising network is built on a simple idea:
Businesses shouldn't have to choose between control and connectivity.
On Arbitrum, LG can customize its execution environment, economics, and governance while remaining connected to shared settlement infrastructure.
Ethereum is for shipping.

How should you value a digital asset?
At Grayscale, we view crypto on a spectrum.
Some assets, like $BTC, are digital commodities driven by supply and demand.
Others, like $HYPE, are tied to revenue and can be valued with cash flows.

REMINDER: Leios testnet will go LIVE in 5 days, on June 23rd.
The first version, linear Leios, could scale Cardano $ADA up to ~1000s of TPS.
Really looking forward to it!
The insane level of anger, hatred and blame I am seeing tells me that we are at or very close to the bottom. I've been through this many times before. This is where my buys get heavier. Just like when I bought ETH when it was "dead," then ADA when it was "dead," now its $EGLD
