    Robinhood Chain Mainnet Launch Marks Most Ambitious Global Expansion and Product Vision to Date

    Editor’s comment:

    In a world full of vaporware, launching a chain actually makes sense when you’re a company with arguably the best retail trading app in the world with a massive network and moat. Jason Yanowitz noted that in the past, chains have paid apps to launch on their network, whereas now, apps are reportedly paying Robinhood to join its chain.

    Editor’s comment:

    It’s refreshing to see a DAT stack nice bids after a big discount rather than top-buying the rallies. This is the type of buy pressure we want to see to start the foundations of a new bull run. Metaplanet’s shares may be down a lot, but its “ BTC per share” has only ever gone up.

    Coinbase CEO Says America Needs Hard-Backed Currency as US Debt Nears Breaking Point

    Editor’s comment:

    The Libertarian crowd has been talking about the dangers of unhinged government spending and irresponsible monetary policy.

    Metamask Launches Money Account With up to 4% APY and Mastercard Spending Access

    Editor’s comment:

    Another app joins the “everything app” race. It’s also worth asking: If you can earn 4% APY just holding coins in your MetaMask, is it still worth it to connect your wallet to DeFi apps to chase more yield?
