Sasha why NOT

Listen, an interesting thing is happening: Bloomberg analysts James Seyfart and Eric Balcunas said that Litecoin (LTC), XRP and Solana (SOL) will almost certainly — 95% — have their own exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this year. This is serious because ETFs are like a bridge between crypto and traditional finance. When an ETF for a specific cryptocurrency appears, investors can invest in it through regular exchanges without buying the coin itself. This often pushes the price up and makes the asset more "official".
But that's not all. The same guys believe that Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Hedera (HBAR) and Avalanche (AVAX) have a 90% chance of getting their ETFs in 2025. That is, we can actually see a whole wave of such products. However, Sui (SUI) has only 60% chances, while Tron (TRX) has none at all.
What's more curious is that applications have even been submitted for ETFs for projects such as Axelar, Aptos, Chainlink, and even for meme tokens like Pudgy Penguins and Trump Coin. Some of them, of course, sound like a joke, but in 2024, the SEC approved spot ETFs for bitcoin and then for ether, which showed that the process has begun, and the trend can become massive.
All this may mean that the crypt is increasingly penetrating the traditional financial system — and this is no longer a hype, but rather a matter of time.
So, if these ETFs are really approved, don't you think that the next crypto boom is just around the corner?

Listen, the interesting news is that on June 21, 2025, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed SB 21 into law, which launches the so—called Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This means that Texas will now officially start buying and storing bitcoins as a financial reserve, as previously only two states — Arizona and New Hampshire - did. So Texas is now third on this list.
That's how it's going to work. This fund will be managed by the Controller of Public Accounts, not the Ministry of Finance, but by a separate body. Money for bitcoins will be taken from various sources: budget allocations, donations in cryptocurrency, special fees, and investment income. At the same time, the law clearly regulates how to buy, store and sell digital assets so that there is no self-activity and risk.
But that's not the only trick. The law has a rule built into it: you can only buy cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization of over $500 billion over the past 12 months. In fact, this now means that the fund will focus almost exclusively on bitcoin — it is the only one that meets this criterion. So the state insures itself against investments in unstable or hype tokens.
Interestingly, the path to the adoption of this law was not quite straight. The bill was reviewed, control mechanisms and restrictions were added to prevent speculative use of state funds. In addition, Texas passed another law last year, HB 4488, which prohibited the transfer of money set aside for a reserve in bitcoin to the general budget. That is, the foundation has already been laid in advance.
Proponents of this idea say that the digital reserve will protect against inflation, make the state's finances more stable and allow Texas to be at the forefront in the field of digital assets.
Now I'm thinking: Is this a real step towards a new economy or just a political move to look progressive? What do you think about it?

Listen, there's an interesting topic on Ethereum — it's like he's up to something.
In recent weeks, the number of new Ethereum addresses has increased significantly - from 800,000 to 1 million wallets are being created per week, whereas last year at the same time there were only 560-670,000. And this is despite the fact that the price of ETH does not move much and costs about $2,500. That is, the price is stable, and the interest in the network is growing. This is usually a good sign, because an increase in user activity indicates a deepening adoption of Ethereum, especially its real benefits.
But what's really interesting is that the "whales" have started to return. The volume of net inflows from large ETH holders increased by 7,400% in just one week. Before that, they were mostly selling or just watching. Now, it seems, they have begun to accumulate strategically. And if this trend continues, there may be a shortage of supply, which will push the price up.
Meanwhile, the price of ETH remains in the range of $2396–$2833, moving in an ascending channel. Bulls and bears seem to be playing a tug of war: some cannot break through the resistance, while others try to lower the price below the support. This often precedes an explosive movement in one direction or another.
As for speculators, they have become less active. Short-term holders, judging by the metric of the Realized Cap HODL Waves, began to exit the market. But the Stock-to-Flow indicator for ETH has grown to 43.2, which means that the issue is falling, and the deficit is growing. That is, ETH is becoming "rarer", which means it is potentially more expensive.
And here a logical question arises:
is Ethereum preparing for a break above $2,800?
What do you think?

Auction of Pump tokens.The $4 billion fun is being postponed once again — now it's being postponed to mid-July. This is not the first postponement: the project has been regularly encountering obstacles since last year. This time, there are legal difficulties again.
The Pump command.fun planned to hold the auction at the end of June, but on June 20 it became known about the postponement. The main reason is legal problems, in particular a class action lawsuit from Burwick Law, which accuses the project of violating securities laws. The company's founder, Max Berwick, even named Pump.fun is "the highest stage in the evolution of multilevel marketing fraud."
Despite such accusations, the team continues to sell quotas of tokens to institutional investors, without waiting for a full launch. This causes tension and distrust among retail investors, especially when the official account of the project in X (formerly Twitter) is suspended, and there are no comments from the developers.
The Pump situation.fun has a direct impact on the broader market, especially on assets related to Solana, because the project is based on this particular blockchain. The price of the SOL token has already dropped by -2.7% per day, although trading activity has increased. It is significant that any major delay in such projects causes caution among investors and may temporarily cool interest in the entire sector, for example, in memcoins.
Given the accumulated risks, lack of transparency, and ongoing lawsuits, the project is increasingly raising questions rather than certainty.
Do you think it's worth trusting such projects at all now, or is it better to stay away until the situation is clarified?

Listen, the SEC is having a hot season again — they have started a public discussion of applications for the creation of ETFs related to cryptocurrencies XRP and Solana. Behind this is Franklin Templeton, a large investment company that wants to launch two cryptocurrency exchange—traded funds: the Franklin XRP ETF and the Franklin Solana ETF.
What's happening? It all started back in March, when the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe BZX) submitted a request to launch these products. The SEC first took a break in April, and now it has officially announced the launch of a public comment period. This means that they are not making a decision yet, but simply collecting opinions and comments — and have given themselves another 35 days to think, until the end of July. But this is not the limit either — they can extend it again.
Why is this important? Because just recently, the SEC has already approved spot ETFs for bitcoin and ether, and now companies have rushed to apply for funds related to other crypto assets. Those who will be the first with XRP or Solana will get a big advantage. Therefore, other major players such as Bitwise, ProShares and 21Shares joined the game. They all feel that the moment is right.
There is one more nuance — the current leadership of the SEC, led by Paul Atkins (appointed by the Trump administration), is known for a more loyal attitude towards digital assets. This creates the prerequisites for a shift in regulation towards greater acceptance of cryptocurrencies at the institutional level.
But despite these positive signals, the fate of the XRP and Solana ETFs is not yet clear. The SEC may approve, delay, or even refuse altogether — especially considering that the status of these tokens is still controversial from a legal point of view.
And here's the question — do you think the SEC will continue to be cautious with crypto, or will it finally decide to give the green light to new ETFs?

Recently, at an All Core Devs meeting, Ethereum developers discussed and approved a package of proposals to improve the network as part of the upcoming Fusaka fork. The update, at first glance, does not look revolutionary — it does not have a new "main feature", as was the case with sharding or PoS. But if you dig deeper, it becomes clear: Fusaka can significantly improve the performance of Ethereum without dramatically complicating the protocol. And that's exactly what we need in 2025.
About gas and limits
One of the key decisions is to increase the gas limit to 45 million. This could give Ethereum a bandwidth boost of more than 11% if everything goes smoothly. However, the developers emphasize that you can't just increase the volume — you need to make sure that the blocks don't start spreading too slowly, because this threatens to destabilize the network.
Blobs and blobs
Do you remember the Dencun update and EIP-4844? It added so-called BLOB objects, an inexpensive way to put data "outside" the blockchain. The problem is that no one has limited how many such blobs can be thrown into one transaction. This opened the way to a potential overload. Now this is being fixed: EIP-7892 introduces limits on the number of blobs per transaction, and EIP-7918 introduces a minimum fee and a total ceiling of blobs per block. Ironically, by limiting the size of one blob, you can allow more of them to be included in the block — such is the engineering magic.
Technical treats for developers
The update also includes EIP-7939, which introduces the CLZ operation code into the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) — a zero counter at the beginning of the number. This is a highly specialized piece that can speed up cryptographic calculations and randomization. It's already available in many modern VMs, and now it's coming to us.
Another long—awaited moment is EIP-7951. It adds built—in secp256r1 cryptography support, an important step towards full-fledged WebAuthn authorization and deeper integration of Ethereum into mobile and enterprise solutions.
But not everything is smooth.
There was also some controversy. Paradigm's chief technology Officer, Georgios Konstantopoulos, recalled two old Solidity issues: the stack depth limit and the 24 KB contract size. He believes that Fusaka's current changes don't do anything about it. The developers, in turn, answer: EOF (the new contract model) is precisely aimed at solving these problems — it's just not part of Fusaka directly.
What is the result?
Fusaka is not a bright revolution, but a balanced engineering refinement that makes Ethereum faster, more flexible and a little more convenient for developers. Without unnecessary risk, without dramatic changes. Perhaps this is exactly the maturity that is needed now.
What do you think — is Ethereum worth focusing on small but steady improvements, or is it time to take another swing at something grand?

Listen, buddy, this is what's going on with Solana, and it could really be a big deal.
SOL is currently trading around $145.50 — at first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual. But if you dig deeper, especially into the data on derivatives (futures and others), you can see that the market is simply full of short positions, especially between $ 146 and $170. This means that a huge number of traders are betting on a fall in prices, and they are doing this with high leverage — in fact, they are borrowing money to increase their bet on a fall. If the price goes up, they will start losing money very quickly.
What is short compression?
When too many people bet on a fall, but the price suddenly goes up, brokers begin to forcibly close these unprofitable trades. This is called liquidation. To close a position, you need to buy the asset back, and this creates additional demand. Demand raises the price even higher, which causes the following positions to be liquidated, and so on along the chain. It turns out to be a snowball — explosive growth that feeds on itself.
Coinglass shows that the largest risk area is between $150 and $163, where tens of millions of dollars worth of short positions are at risk, mainly on the Bybit exchange. These are not just individual bets, they are a whole array of traders, and many of them have an aggressive strategy.
If the price of Solana rises by just a dollar or two and breaks through the $146-$148 zone, a wave of liquidations may begin. And you know what? There is almost no resistance up to the mid-$160 level. This means that the price will have room for a rapid upward leap, without any special obstacles.
But if Solana does not break through these levels, the bears may pounce again. However, even in this case, their positions will remain vulnerable — any small upward movement will be painful for those who are still "in shorts."
In general, the market is now like a taut string. One sharp push upward and it can fly.
What do you think: is Solana ready for explosive growth or is this another trap for bulls?

You've probably already heard about the long—standing talk that Solana is the "killer of Ethereum," right? Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, recently added fuel to the fire again. At the DigiAssets 2025 conference, he stated: "I think SOL will turn ETH around." At the same time, he clarified that he does not feel negative about Ethereum, he just understands better how the story of Solana develops.
Interestingly, Scaramucci himself entered the crypt only in 2020 and admits that he did not fully "fit in" with the ETH ecosystem. Currently, SkyBridge holds nine-figure amounts in Bitcoin and Solana, and about 40% of client funds are invested in digital assets through structures such as Multicoin Capital and Brevan Howard Digital. Moreover, their "coin fund" alone is about $300 million, including Solana, Avalanche, Polkadot and, of course, Bitcoin.
Now let's look at the numbers. Solana reached a historic peak of $293.31 in January 2025, but has since dropped to ~$145, a drop of 23.2% since the beginning of the year. Over the same period, Ethereum lost about 24.75% and is trading with a capitalization of about $304 billion, while Solana lost about $76 billion. That is, Solana hasn't caught up with Ethereum yet, but judging by Scaramucci's words, he believes it's only a matter of time.
At the same time, Standard Chartered analysts are not so optimistic. According to their forecast, ETH will reach $ 4,000 by the end of 2025 and exceed $7,500 by 2029, and Solana in the same period, in their opinion, will be noticeably behind - $275 at the end of this year and $500 by 2029. Their argument: Solana has not yet been able to solve scalability and reduced activity after the memcoin boom.
But analysts from Cantor Fitzgerald, on the contrary, support Scaramucci's point of view. They believe that Solana has more potential due to the growing interest from public companies that add SOL to their balance sheets.
So, my friend, we have a real giant dispute here: on the one hand, reputable analysts from large banks, on the other, investors who are betting on a new technological turn.
Do you think Solana really has a chance to bypass Ethereum — or is it just a hype?

Have you heard that X (formerly Twitter) suddenly blocked more than 20 large cryptocurrency accounts? At the center of this resonant event is the Pump.fun, a platform that helps launch memcoins, and its co-founder Alon Cohen. Their accounts just disappeared, and the community is now wondering what it was all about.
But it's not just about Pump.fun. Other projects were also distributed: GMGN, BullX, and Bloom Trading trading platforms, as well as an AI—based tool, Eliza OS. These accounts were important communication hubs for crypto enthusiasts, and their disappearance disrupts the usual communication channels.
Interestingly, X explains almost nothing. All that the victims received was a standard message about a "violation of the rules." Users and analysts build their theories: some blame the use of third-party APIs, others blame massive complaints from disgruntled followers. In any case, there is no clarity, and the community is literally stewing in guesses.
I am particularly concerned that such actions may be the beginning of a broader purge. Social media has always played an important role in the crypto world — as a platform for promoting projects, communicating with an audience, and even launching tokens. If X has really started strict moderation of the crypto content, it could seriously affect the entire sector.
Some teams have already started to file appeals, but it is not yet known how much this will help. Meanwhile, the rest of us can only watch and guess — will these blockages become a one-time action or the new norm?
Do you think this is a temporary outbreak or the beginning of a new stage of censorship of cryptocurrencies in social networks?

Listen, Thailand has really ambitious plans! They have just announced that from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, income from cryptocurrencies will not be subject to income tax — but only if transactions take place through officially registered platforms under the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The news about this was posted by Deputy Finance Minister Chulafan Amornvivat on X. According to him, this measure is not just a generous gesture, but part of a strategic plan: Thailand wants to become a center of digital assets and attract both local and international players.
That's why they do it.:
Boost the growth of your crypto market
To attract more blockchain projects and investments
Create jobs and new forms of fundraising
And, in the long run, still earn more — just a little later.
But it is important: tax benefits apply only to those who work through licensed exchanges and brokers. This entire system will be monitored not only by the SEC, but also by the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLO). In other words, everything should be transparent and according to international standards.
By the way, Thailand is also preparing to introduce Global crypto reporting (CARF from the OECD) to improve transparency and prevent tax manipulation. This is not just populism — they are actually building the infrastructure for a "white" crypto economy.
If all this works out, Thailand will be able to compete with Singapore and Hong Kong for the title of Asia's crypto hub. In fact, they are betting that temporary tax breaks will bring more benefits in the future.
Do you think this strategy will work, or will such moves attract speculators more than real innovators?

Think about it, friend, the passions are boiling in the crypto world again — this time around Solana and the opportunity to launch a spot ETF (an exchange-traded fund that tracks the price of an asset directly, rather than through futures). This week, CoinShares filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue its CoinShares Solana ETF.
They submitted the S-1 form, which is the official start of the application. If regulators give the go-ahead, this fund will be traded on the stock exchange and track the real price of the SOL token (by the way, Solana is the sixth largest crypt in the world by capitalization). The assets will be held by Coinbase Custody and BitGo Trust, which are large and trusted guys in the world of digital assets.
An interesting feature: CoinShares also plans to stack some of its assets, that is, to lease tokens on the Solana network and earn income. By the way, the income will also go to the fund, which means it will potentially increase its profitability. However, it has not yet been revealed who will be involved in this stacking.
But what's even cooler is that CoinShares has already become the eighth company that is trying to get approval for the Solana ETF. VanEck, Fidelity, Grayscale and other major players are participating in this race. Everyone wants to be the first, because the order of submission of applications can affect the priority during consideration.
Why is there such a rush now? After the SEC finally approved spot ETFs for bitcoin and ether last year, there was hope that the regulator would now open up to other cryptocurrencies. And Solana, along with Litecoin, is now on the list of "favorites" for approval. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the resolution may come in 2-4 months. Companies have already begun to refine their applications, for example, adding more details about asset repayment and stacking.
So the question is not “if”, but “when” the SEC will give the go—ahead. Well, if this happens, then a new market will be created for investors who want to invest in Solana through a regular exchange, without messing with crypto wallets and exchanges.
Well, here's a question for you to think about, buddy.:
If the Solana ETF is really approved, would you invest or are you still cautious with the crypt?

Listen, imagine, Vietnam is officially legalizing cryptocurrency! The National Assembly has adopted a new law that will enter into force on January 1, 2026, and this is not just a formality — it is, in fact, the launch of a new technological era for the country.
The law is called "On the Digital Technology Industry," and it clearly states that two types of digital assets are now recognized in the country: virtual assets and crypto assets. Of course, they have nothing to do with traditional money or securities — it's about digital property like tokens and cryptocurrencies.
From now on, such assets will be under state control: clear business rules, transparency requirements, and enhanced measures to combat money laundering and cyber threats are being introduced. All this is done so that Vietnam can meet international standards (such as those set by the FATF) and cease to be listed on the "grey list" of countries with financial security risks.
But it's not just about the crypt.
At the same time, Vietnam is actively moving forward in the fields of artificial intelligence, semiconductors and digital infrastructure. The new law gives the green light to investments in microchip production, software development, and even offers tax breaks and special land-use conditions for those who do so. And in order to have enough specialists, the authorities are going to finance education and training in IT and knowledge-intensive industries.
In short, the country does not just want to catch up with the global market — it intends to become one of its leaders. The government is focused not only on economic growth, but also on real digital transformation: AI risk management, integration of digital skills into school curricula — all this is already in the plan.
Such a large—scale step is essentially an application for a global technological role in the coming decades.
Do you think Vietnam can really squeeze out the leading players in the global tech market, or is it still too ambitious?

Listen, I want to share a topic that came up in the news, and it's really interesting. It's about quantum computers and Bitcoin. It sounds like science fiction, but it seems that the time of fiction is coming to an end.
So, several major figures in the world of technology and cryptocurrencies have started sounding the alarm again: what if a quantum computer can hack Bitcoin? Like, it's really possible to open wallets, change transactions, and generally undermine everything that the blockchain stands for.
Here are the opinions I've gathered:
IBM and 2029
IBM plans to release a new generation quantum computer, Quantum Starling, by 2029. It will be a fault-tolerant (that is, stable, non-malfunctioning) quantum computer, which has not been done before. It is believed that such machines will be able to cope with tasks like breaking cryptography.
Google: Is the threat closer than it seems?
In May 2025, Google researcher Craig Gidney rolled out calculations according to which 20 times fewer quantum resources are needed to crack RSA encryption than previously thought. Yes, Bitcoin uses elliptic curves (ECC) instead of RSA, but they are also vulnerable to the Shore algorithm — and Gidney confirmed this.
He estimated that with less than a million qubits, powerful encryption could be cracked in just a week. It doesn't sound like 2100 science fiction anymore.
Who says "not so scary"?
Adam Back, one of the veterans of the bitcoin scene and the head of Blockstream, says: don't panic. He believes that there will be no truly dangerous quantum systems for another 20 years, but he still advises transferring coins to quantum-stable addresses in advance, especially if these are the same ancient coins, such as from Satoshi's cache.
The most disturbing voice
David Carvalho of Naoris Protocol does not stand on ceremony: in his opinion, hacking can happen within 5 years if Bitcoin does not urgently switch to new cryptographic standards. He even refers to a report by BlackRock — yes, the very investment giant - which explicitly states that the quantum threat is taken into account when applying for an ETF.
He also mentions that up to 30% of all bitcoins are stored at vulnerable addresses, and one successful breach can lead to a loss of trust in the entire network.
And what now?
Well, the cherry on the cake is investor Chamat Palihapitiya. At the end of 2024, he suggested that SHA-256— the Bitcoin hashing algorithm, could be broken in 2-5 years. According to him, 8000 quantum chips like those that Google has already made are enough, and that's it. Although for now, scaling such a thing is a separate pain.
So, on the one hand, supercomputers are still not ready, but on the other, everything is moving much faster than expected, and the big players understand this.
Do you think Bitcoin should switch to a new cryptography right now — or are these threats still from the category of "just in case"?

Hi! You've probably heard that the Bybit exchange is going to launch its first decentralized exchange, Byreal, this month, and not just anywhere, but on the Solana blockchain. It sounds promising, especially considering that Solana is now well-known for its high speed and low fees.
But what's the point here?
Unlike conventional centralized exchanges (CEX), where trading takes place within a single platform, decentralized exchanges (DEX) operate entirely on the blockchain and give users full control over their funds. The problem is that DEX's often suffer from low liquidity and things like slippage and MEV attacks (all sorts of unfair manipulation of transactions before they are confirmed).
Bybit wants to combine the best of both worlds: CEX liquidity and DeFi transparency. Their new product, Byreal— uses a hybrid routing system (RFQ + CLMM), which, according to CEO Ben Zhou, should reduce slippage and make trading more honest and stable.
What does this mean for Solana?
If everything goes according to plan, Solana could receive a decent dose of new liquidity and activity. History shows that when large centralized players enter DeFi, it is often accompanied by a surge of interest and an increase in TVL (total value locked), the total amount of funds locked in DeFi protocols.
At the time of writing (June 15, 2025), Solana is trading at $152.83 with a market capitalization of $77.44 billion, and 24-hour volume has dropped by almost 50%. This may indicate the calm before the storm — perhaps the launch of Byreal will breathe new life into the ecosystem.
The crypto community is still cautious, but generally positive. There have been no specific reactions from regulators or major opinion leaders yet — everyone is waiting for the launch and the first results.
So here's a question for you, friend.:
Do you think hybrid solutions like Byreal can really change the rules of the DeFi game?

Listen, an interesting thing happened the other day in the States. On June 13, 2025, the American SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) suddenly abolished a whole series of rules that limited the cryptocurrency industry during the Biden administration. We are talking about 14 initiatives, including several key provisions that have affected the crypto business the most.
All this is part of a new policy that Trump is actively promoting now: the idea is to make the United States a leader in the field of digital assets. The new head of the SEC, Paul Atkins, is obviously set for a softer and more flexible approach to the crypto market.
What exactly was canceled?
Two rules made the most noise.:
Rule 3b-16. It expanded the definition of an "exchange" so much that even DeFi protocols and chat rooms discussing the exchange of tokens fell under it. It turned out that any developer who wrote open source code risked being regulated by the SEC. In the industry, this was perceived as a direct threat.
The storage rule. It forced consultants to store clients' crypto assets only with "official" custodians (most often with banks). This, in fact, displaced crypto companies like Coinbase Custody and made the market less competitive.
In addition to these two, other proposals related to information disclosure, tokenized securities transactions, and climate risks were canceled — all part of a broader deregulation program.
Why did the SEC change its mind?
There were many dissatisfied people even inside the commission. Commissioner Hester Pierce said bluntly that the SEC cannot turn code developers into criminals. They say that writing software is not the same as managing an exchange.
Interestingly, even some Democrats admitted that the rules lacked specifics. This means that they could hardly work effectively and would not create legal clarity.
How did the market react?
The industry reacted violently. DeFi projects like Uniswap and Curve have breathed a sigh of relief. Startups and investment funds like Andreessen Horowitz have already declared that this is a "victory for American technological leadership." A new influx of investments and project launches in the United States is expected.
On the other hand, the traditional players — banks, asset managers — are disappointed. It was convenient for them to act according to the old rules, which gave them more control.
Lawyers are also not thrilled: they warn that sudden policy turns can scare off investors. Who wants to build a business in a country where regulations change dramatically every two years?
What's next?
The SEC is not going to completely abandon oversight. Now they are moving to a point—by-point approach: to figure out which tokens are securities and which are not. There is also coordination with other agencies regarding the regulation of stablecoins.
Instead of strict controls, the SEC promises to use new tools to detect fraud without hindering the development of DeFi. But there is one big problem: there are no clear rules yet. This creates a vacuum in which bona fide projects don't know how to act, and unscrupulous ones can take advantage of it.
It turns out that the crypto market has freedom, but there are no clear guidelines.
The sector has entered a new era, more open, but full of uncertainty. Do you think this is the beginning of a constructive dialogue between the government and the industry, or just a temporary easing before another wave of pressure?

Listen, the news of the day! Amazon, Walmart and Expedia are seriously considering releasing their own stablecoins. The WSJ reports that this can save them a lot of money on payments. Let's figure it out.
What's the point?
Every time you pay with a card in these stores:
They lose 1-3% of the amount (this is the Visa/Mastercard commission)
Transfers take 1-3 days.
They pay extra for currency conversion
Stablecoins solve these problems.:
✅ Commissions below 1%
✅ Instant transfers
✅ No currency conversions
How will it work?
Own coins
Companies can issue their own dollar-denominated stablecoins (such as "Amazon Coin")
The General Consortium
Or they will merge and use one stablecoin from a trusted issuer.
Integration into payments
You can:
Top up your balance
Pay in one click
Receive Crypto bonuses
What's in the way?
The main obstacle is regulators. On June 17, the United States votes on the "Law on Stablecoins." If accepted, it's a green light.
Interesting facts:
Banks (JPMorgan and others) also want their stablecoins.
Walmart is actively lobbying for changes to the law
Small stores support them — this is their chance to save money
What will it give us?
🔹 Possible price reductions (stores will save money)
🔹 Instant refunds
🔹 Convenient international payments
🔹 New bonus programs
The main question
Do you think retailers will be able to bypass Visa/Mastercard? Or will the payment giants find a way to maintain control?

Listen, an interesting trend has emerged! For the first time, Ethereum ETFs have overtaken Bitcoin ETFs in terms of investment inflows. On June 11, ETH funds received $240.3 million, while BTC funds received only $164.5 million. And that's 18 consecutive days of growth! Let's figure out why this is happening.
Who is in the lead?
🔹 BlackRock ETHA is the main favorite ($163.6 million per day, $4.23 billion in total assets)
🔹 Grayscale Mini Ethereum Trust
🔹 Bitwise BITW
As Nate Geraci from the ETF Store points out:
"18 days of inflow into the ETH ETF... Almost $250 million per day. And this is without full support for creating/redeeming shares!"
Why has Ethereum suddenly become more popular?
1️⃣ Price potential
ETH has gained 50% since the April 2025 low, while BTC is already at record levels. Investors see more opportunities for growth.
2️⃣ Technological updates
The upgrade of Pectra has improved the scalability and efficiency of the network, which is important for institutional players.
3️⃣ Regulatory Clarity
The SEC has started making exceptions for DeFi, which has increased trust in Ethereum.
What does this mean for the market?
Perhaps the "altcoin season" is beginning
Institutions are diversifying their portfolios (not just BTC)
ETH/BTC pair shows strong growth
The main question
Do you think this is a temporary trend, or can Ethereum really take over Bitcoin's leadership in institutional investments?

Have you ever wondered why ChatGPT has become so popular and why it dominates the AI market? Let's get this straight, because the numbers are amazing. According to the latest data from Similarweb, ChatGPT gained 5.5 billion visits in May 2025, accounting for 80% of all traffic in the generative AI market. This is more than all other AI models such as Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Perplexity and Claude combined! Can you imagine the gap? It's not just a victory, it's absolute dominance.
The secret of ChatGPT success
An important point: when it comes to leaders in the AI market, many people first think about the technical characteristics and compare models according to these parameters. But ChatGPT has benefited not only from technological innovations. The main secret of its success is that it turned out to be exactly what users needed. In 2025, the number of active ChatGPT users exceeded 500 million per week, and the mobile application was used by more than 250 million people every month.
OpenAI was able to achieve this through a partnership with Microsoft, but that's not the only reason. ChatGPT has become, in fact, the first universal AI assistant for millions of people around the world. And this success was no accident: despite a short-term drop in traffic in early 2025, ChatGPT recovered quickly and continued to grow.
The Chinese DeepSeek phenomenon
However, not everything is so clear in the AI market. While OpenAI has taken almost all of the users' attention, the Chinese startup DeepSeek has become a real sensation. In May 2025, the DeepSeek model showed a 13-fold increase in the number of users, increasing the number of visits from 33.7 million in January to 436 million in May.
Interestingly, DeepSeek works with cheaper Nvidia H800 chips (lower in power), and its tokens cost only $0.55, as opposed to $15 for an OpenAI token. This allows the Chinese startup to compete fiercely with Western companies, despite all the economic and political restrictions. And most importantly, DeepSeek is actively conquering markets that are practically untouched by Western IT companies, such as China, India and Indonesia.
Why Google and Anthropic are lagging behind
But Google, with its Gemini model, looks pretty mediocre compared to the competition. Despite the enormous resources and billions of dollars that Google is investing in AI, the Gemini model has gained only 527.7 million visits per month. That's not a lot, especially considering that Google processes 3.5 billion search queries per day and has access to a huge audience.
Unfortunately, from a technical point of view, Gemini looks very strong, but this is not enough to win the race for users. Claude, the model from Anthropic, also looks extremely interesting from the point of view of technology, but it could not achieve mass distribution. In May 2025, Claude had only about 100 million visits, which is modest, especially when compared with ChatGPT.
Why can't competitors catch up with ChatGPT?
So what happens to the rest of the models? Why can't they catch up with ChatGPT, even if they are technically superior to it? The answer is simple: users choose what works simply and efficiently. All these additional features, tests, and complex algorithms are, of course, interesting for AI researchers, but for ordinary users it is important that the AI model is convenient and useful in everyday life.
ChatGPT became an ideal tool that helped solve real—world tasks, from helping with studies to code generation or just having conversations. Other models tried to keep up with their competitors in terms of "technical coolness", but missed an important point: what is important for users is convenience and accessibility.
AI is changing the industry
This trend is already starting to change the market where traditional Internet companies operate. For example, Chegg (homework help site) lost 64% of traffic because students started using ChatGPT, which solves homework much faster and more efficiently. Platforms like Quora and Fiverr have also lost significant numbers of users.
But tools for automation and software development, such as DevOps and code generation, on the contrary, have become much more in demand. This confirms that AI is changing not only the entertainment industry, but also the work of professionals.
Conclusion: ChatGPT is already on a pedestal
So, OpenAI has won this race. Of course, other players in the AI market have not disappeared, and they can still surprise us with new achievements, but ChatGPT has taken a leading position because it turned out to be exactly the product that users need. He was the first to come up with a solution for real—world problems- and it earned him billions of visits.
Now the real fight will be for the second place. Who will be able to reach the podium after ChatGPT? DeepSeek? Google? Or someone else? What do you think it takes to overtake ChatGPT in the current environment?
