👀 @cz_binance confirms: Most of his wealth is still in BNB.
In the latest @CoinDesk Spotlight interview, CZ confirmed that the majority of his personal wealth remains in BNB, even after stepping down as Binance CEO.
From regulatory battles to stepping away from Binance's leadership, one thing hasn't changed: CZ is still heavily aligned with $BNB.
And what about you? Where is most of your portfolio today? 👇
New Ethereum org just dropped.
While the EF is shrinking its mandate and more focused on protecting Ethereum's core properties, a group of EF builders have spun out to create a second org.
Its mandate is simple: accelerate Ethereum. Increase adoption. Protect DeFi. Solve the biggest problems and make ETH the currency of the internet.
(Yes, this is the number go up org.)
Proud to be supporting ETH Labs.🫡
Disclosure: Dragonfly holds $ETH, but I'm supporting ETH Labs personally.
Today, we’re launching the Avalanche Payments Collective.
Founding participants include Franklin Templeton, VanEck, Anchorage Digital, Paxos, Agora, Ethena, Rain, Axiym, Tassat, and others spanning the payments stack.
The Collective brings together companies spanning stablecoins, settlement, treasury infrastructure, foreign exchange, custody, card issuance, business payments, asset management, and global payouts.
Why?
Because the future of payments requires more than faster transactions.
Moving money globally requires liquidity, settlement, compliance, treasury management, custody, foreign exchange, and local payment networks working together as one. 🔺
28 leading organizations supporting payment flows across 150+ countries, 96 currencies, and ~22 billion payout endpoints are building on Avalanche.
Over the last several years, Avalanche has quietly become home to one of the industry's broadest payments ecosystems.
Now, that ecosystem has a name.

A chart to watch 👇
rsETH recovery update
Following the seizure of rsETH from the attacker, 751.27 ETH was withdrawn from Kelp and used as part of the recovery process.
The attacker’s outstanding debt has now been repaid across the relevant Euler positions. This includes 0.99 WETH and 197.54 WETH repaid directly, plus 409.35 WETH used to swap ETH to WBTC and repay the WBTC debt.
The remaining 143.39 WETH has been transferred to DeFi United.
Euler Prime has been restored to a healthy state, with no bad debt remaining. As per the earlier DAO proposal, this market will be transferred to K3 for active curation.
In light of my starting my new role on Monday I decided to deep dive into how @avax works… I was super impressed and I’m guessing a lot of people use Avalanche without actually understanding how it works.
And honestly, once you understand the structure behind it, you realise why so many builders choose it.
Avalanche isn’t “one chain”.
It’s a network made up of multiple chains that all handle different jobs together.
The main 3 are:
• P-Chain
• C-Chain
• X-Chain
And now Avalanche L1s are becoming a huge part of the ecosystem too.
Quick breakdown:
The P-Chain (Platform Chain) is basically the coordination layer.
It handles:
• Validators
• Staking
• Subnet/L1 creation
• Network management
Think of it as the chain responsible for organising the entire Avalanche ecosystem.
When someone launches an Avalanche L1, the P-Chain is what helps register and coordinate it.
Then you have the C-Chain.
This is the one most people interact with daily.
The C-Chain is Avalanche’s EVM-compatible smart contract chain.
So when you:
• Trade on a DEX
• Mint NFTs
• Use DeFi
• Connect MetaMask
• Use apps like Trader Joe
You’re usually using the C-Chain.
It’s familiar for Ethereum users because developers can deploy Solidity smart contracts there easily.
Then there’s the X-Chain.
The X-Chain is designed for asset transfers.
It uses Avalanche’s native consensus system and is optimised for moving assets quickly and efficiently across the network.
Most users won’t interact with it directly much anymore, but it’s still an important part of Avalanche architecture.
Now the really interesting part is Avalanche L1s.
This is where Avalanche becomes far more than just “another smart contract chain”.
Avalanche lets projects launch their own custom blockchain networks.
These can have:
• Their own rules
• Their own validators
• Their own gas tokens
• Their own compliance settings
• Their own execution environments
Gaming.
Institutions.
DeFi.
Enterprise.
Consumer apps.
Each can build infrastructure tailored specifically for their use case instead of fighting for blockspace on one crowded chain.
That’s a massive advantage.
And the reason this works is because Avalanche was designed from the start as a network of interoperable chains, not a single monolithic chain trying to do everything itself.
A lot of newer users just see:
“Fast transactions”
But the architecture behind Avalanche is actually what makes it powerful.
It’s scalable because different workloads can exist across different chains and L1s while still being connected to the wider ecosystem.
That design choice is aging very well.
Curious how many people actually knew Avalanche worked like this before reading this?
1/ We’re building a perpetual protocol around a simple idea: outcomes should come from market direction and position management, not from hard-to-model exchange mechanics.
Avalanche will win the private blockchain race.
Here’s why:
Institutions need environments where access is intentional, data is protected, and connectivity happens when and where it���s needed.
Avalanche uniquely is built for that.
Look at who has already chosen Avalanche.👇
