Wall Street is selling crypto income inside TradFi products and one hidden switch decides who gets in
Bitwise’s February announcement arrived as two moves packaged as one. The crypto asset manager announced a partnership with Morpho to launch curated yield vaults and simultaneously acquired Chorus One’s institutional staking business.It looks like a deliberate assembly: curation mechanisms to filter protocol risk, infrastructure to deliver returns, and enough operational scaffolding to make the whole stack recognizable to allocators who think in basis points rather than memes.That combination of yield products using DeFi rails wrapped in institutional controls is becoming a category of offerings that yield on tokenized products.Assets such as tokenized Treasuries, money market funds, and permissioned lending protocols…
Zora is launching “attention markets” on Solana, allowing users to trade and bet on the virality of memes, ideas, and online trends. The platform utilises Solana’s high throughput for real-time trading and requires 1 SOL to create a new trend to discourage spam. Zora is integrating tokenised social posts with trading and is hiring an “Attention Economist” to monitor trends across TikTok and X. Zora, a crypto social platform closely linked to Ethereum layer-2 network Base, is rolling out a new product on Solana, called “attention markets”. It pretty much is what it sounds like, basically markets designed to let…
The Bitcoin “buy zone” meme just got real again, here’s what it means in the ETF eraA certain kind of Bitcoin post shows up right on schedule. It usually arrives right after price stops feeling fun.This week it came from PricedinBTC, dressed up as a neat table titled “Forward Returns by Drawdown Level.”The headline numbers do the heavy lifting, buying at a 50% drawdown supposedly delivers around a 90% win rate over the next year, with average returns near 125%. The caption ends with “LOCK IN,” the kind of line that sounds like advice and reads like a challenge.Bitcoin returns…
Stablecoin outflows from exchanges slowed to $2 billion over the past month, suggesting capital is consolidating within the crypto sector rather than exiting. Binance dominates the market with $47.5 billion in stablecoin reserves, 65% of the total tracked, heavily concentrated in USDT. Despite the stabilising outflows, analysts warn this is not a recovery signal and suggest Bitcoin could still drop to a $55,000 “bear-market floor.” Stablecoin outflows from centralised exchanges slowed to about US$2 billion (AU$2.8 billion) over the past month, down sharply from the US$8.4 billion (AU$11.8 billion) in outflows seen at the start of the late-2025 bear market,…
BlackRock has sharpened the staking posture for its iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB), outlining a plan to keep most of the fund’s ETH staked and earning rewards rather than held in custody.In its latest amended filing, the sponsor said that under normal market circumstances, it would seek to keep 70% to 95% of the fund’s ETH staked.The remainder would sit in what it calls a Liquidity Sleeve, an unstaked buffer designed to handle day-to-day creations, redemptions, and expenses.The change clarifies the product’s intent. ETHB packages spot ETH exposure into an exchange-traded fund while also incorporating Ethereum staking within the…
Quantoz Payments became a principal Visa member, allowing it to issue virtual debit cards backed by its regulated USDQ, EURQ, and EURD e-money tokens across Europe. The partnership enables Quantoz to act as a BIN sponsor, letting third-party fintechs embed stablecoin-linked card issuance directly into their own platforms. While Visa is expanding infrastructure through integrations like BVNK, both Visa and Mastercard recently noted that stablecoin demand remains largely limited to trading. Dutch payments firm Quantoz Payments has become a principal member of Visa, a move that lets it issue Visa-branded virtual debit cards backed by its regulated e-money tokens and…
Poland’s President has, for the second time since December, vetoed legislation intended to align Poland with the EU’s MiCA crypto regulatory framework. President Nawrocki refused to sign the bill that was passed by Polish lawmakers, saying it was “practically identical” to the earlier version of the bill and was still likely to stifle innovation. Work is currently underway to prepare a third, more crypto-friendly version of the bill, with hopes it’ll pass into law before the July 1 MiCA deadline The President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, has vetoed a second bill designed to align the European nation with the EU’s…
Conditional federal approval would allow Bridge to operate as a national trust bank overseeing stablecoin issuance, custody and reserves. The move follows Stripe’s US$1.1 billion (AU$1.55 billion) acquisition and aligns with implementation of the GENIUS Act. Bridge joins a cohort of crypto firms seeking federal trust status, though final authorisation has not yet been granted. Stablecoin infrastructure provider Bridge has secured conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to form a national trust bank, advancing its plans to operate under direct federal oversight. Bridge was purchased by Stripe in 2024 for US$1.1 billion (AU$1.55 billion)…
BlackRock seeded its proposed iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF with US$100,000 (AU$141,000), advancing plans for a staking-enabled Ethereum fund. The ETF intends to stake 70%–95% of its Ether, targeting around 3% annualised yield under early 2026 benchmarks while preserving redemption liquidity. An 18% share of gross staking rewards will go to BlackRock and Coinbase, alongside a sponsor fee, setting ETHB apart from its existing spot Ethereum ETF.

Monero usage remains above 2022 levels despite being delisted by major exchanges and banned in regulatory hubs like Dubai. Darknet adoption is rising with 48% of new 2025 marketplaces supporting Monero exclusively, while Bitcoin remains the primary choice for ransomware payments. Researchers identified that specific node clusters could potentially monitor transaction propagation, posing a risk to user anonymity despite on-chain encryption. Monero is still being used at scale, even after years of delistings, regulatory bans, and a high-profile attempt to disrupt the network, according to new research from TRM Labs. TRM said Monero transaction activity in 2024 and 2025 stayed…
