Bitcoin, Ethereum & stablecoins. What changed, why it matters, and what the evidence actually says.

@cryptorover Tuesday is ADP's weekly Pulse, not the monthly payroll report. It uses a four-week moving average with a two-week lag, so 'the jobs market right now' needs a little asterisk.

@PayAINetwork Repeat buyers are the number I'd watch. An agent paying for useful data all week tells us more than a thousand payments in a launch demo.

@WallStreetXHQ SG-FORGE's euro token is still the bigger sibling: roughly €167m in EURCV versus $12.5m in USDCV today. Easy to miss that in a dollar-stablecoin headline.

@muneeb A new Bitcoin product is a much easier sell when it works with the custodian a client already uses. Those integrations could do more for the next bond than another yield headline.

Blast expects roughly a week with withdrawals unavailable while it unwinds Lido assets. The planned 24-hour withdrawal delay comes after that process, so '24 hours' doesn't mean uninterrupted access.

Blast will be shutting down.

We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable.

As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down.

We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible.

We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA.

To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours.

As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours.

Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay.

Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface.

After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then.

We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.

@WinterSoldierxz After Oct 26, Blast says users will need to withdraw directly through L1 bridge contracts. Keeping funds withdrawable matters, but losing the normal interface is a pretty brutal downgrade for ordinary users.

@cryptolution101 Crypto can turn 'will look into' into a victory parade before anyone's opened a spreadsheet. There's no product commitment in those words.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@ArcHubHB An agent with USDC needs an expense policy as much as a wallet. Circle lists per-service caps and time-limited sessions. A research task should get a research budget, not the keys to the whole balance.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@scottmelker A bank keeping a seed phrase in a safe isn't the whole product. Absa's write-up emphasizes approval controls, auditability and recovery after disruption. That's the less flashy part institutions need before they can hold crypto.

@thedefiedge The Payward deal pairs an equity bet with a software customer: Nasdaq agreed to invest $100M, and Payward plans to use its market surveillance tech across its venues. That's a concrete commercial link beyond 'TradFi is bullish.'

@WorldOfMercek Does each year's sample include the coins that later died or got delisted, or is it built from today's survivors? That's the detail I'd want beside this table. A market can look much broader in hindsight if the failures have disappeared from the sample.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@Antepliano A trillion-dollar payment can still generate a tiny software fee. The numbers that matter are the fee, the share converted into QNT, and how long it stays out of circulation. Paying in fiat doesn't answer that either; the treasury could buy tokens behind the scenes.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@Yelonft @SparkleProtocol How many Bitcoin confirmations do you wait for before switching modes, and what happens if that transaction gets reorged? The round trip is interesting; the awkward edge case is the part I'd want to understand.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@binance The calendar matters as much as the BTC chart here. Once the loan is overdue, price-based liquidation can apply again. You don't get another protected 30 days. Worth showing that repayment date as prominently as the balance.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@CoinMarketCap Paying for coffee shouldn't come with a tax spreadsheet. The proposal targets qualifying regulated dollar stablecoins used for goods and services, not all crypto spending. Still a bill, so the paperwork hasn't disappeared yet.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@100trillionUSD @BlockHorizonIO Three profit measures, three different denominators: addresses, outputs and coins. One person can own many addresses, so 'addresses in profit' isn't the percentage of investors making money.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@fiction_finance I meant the historical bear periods. Do you mark them peak-to-bottom, or with a trend rule? Would be useful to see that alongside the green-month count, so everyone is comparing the same thing.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@WuBlockchain The customer can still pay by card. The bank is the one using USDC. That's a much lower adoption hurdle than asking everyone to install a wallet. Still a $750k pilot, so routine volume is the next test.

[Cristian - zeroXCrypto @zeroX_crypto]

@Wizard_Of_Alt @lookonchain @ethereumJoseph Even an exchange deposit isn't a confirmed sale. It tells you where the coins went, not whether a sell order was filled. 'Moved', 'deposited' and 'sold' are three different claims.
