Honestly, if you're kicking off a project and telling nearly everyone in CT (your potential allies), "You're not in, so f-k off!" Good luck with that (you'll need it). As the saying goes, a hundred friends might not be enough, but one enemy is too many.

➥ How Will Potential Interest Rate Cuts Affect Stablecoins? In the first half of 2025 alone, we have seen the launch of many stablecoins with different mechanics and backing assets. However, potential upcoming interest rate cuts might present a new challenge for stablecoins issuers. Rate cuts will likely reduce revenues for stablecoin issuers, especially those that rely primarily on risk-free rates from U.S. Treasuries (government debt) like Tether, Circle and other some RWA-based stablecoins. Imagine this: → You mint $1,000 USDC/USDT → Issuers keep your $1000 and buy short-term U.S. Treasuries → If interest = 4.5%, they earn ~$45/year on your deposit (that's billions of revenue btw if you refer to their marketcap) → If interest rate dropped to 1-2% = ~$10-$20/year, around a 60-80% drop in income This may benefit DeFi borrowers but could prompt issuers to adjust to the low-inflation environment, as their highly profitable business could see diminished revenues. However, for some stablecoin issuers like @ethena_labs, this is their moment to shine. Ethena's stablecoin, $USDe, thrives in low inflation by offering yields independent of traditional bank rates, thanks to staking rewards and funding rates. Plus, $USDe is versatile, user can utilize it across major chains and DeFi protocols to boost their yield on top of the base yield. In essence, when interest rates drop: → Demand for riskier assets rises → Capital flows into DeFi, pushing up funding rates (i.e.: +15% in December 2024 as rates cut to 4.25%-4.5%) → Ethena's protocol revenue climbs, yield sustained. --- — Wrap-Up Ethena's revenue has surged past $400M, with TVL climbing over $6.7B. The future looks bright for DeFi, as a low-interest rate climate could be the perfect spark for stablecoin protocols to discover new revenue streams, moving beyond their past dependency on risk-free rates. Honestly, we may be in the "All at Once" phase following the "Slowly, Then All at Once" trajectory. DeFi is destined to win.

I had the opportunity to test @TheoriqAI's Alpha Suite, and it was impressive. Here's my honest review (please note that this is still an early version): → Using Swarms or specific AI Agents offers flexibility, and the upcoming Alpha Hub will let users create their own Agents, potentially enhancing Theoriq for smarter predictions or DeFi. → Outputs are highly accurate, offering detailed analyses of @KaitoAI's forecasts and trends. It also mentioned my wallet could qualify for airdrops. → For DeFi Agents, try @pendle_fi Knowledge Agents to find top pools, or @Uniswap wETH-KAITO v3 LP Agent. You can check pool status and open positions directly with these Agents. So far I am quite liked it, will try to play around more! 🔥

➥ If You Have InfoFi Burnout and You're a Small Account, Then Read This Whatever voices are out there, we should recognize that the InfoFi narrative has now become an integral part of crypto and is establishing itself as a solid category on its own. But with more than 30 leaderboards on @KaitoAI to chase, checking Quacks on @wallchain_xyz, more SNAPs campaigns coming to @cookiedotfun, endless review tasks on @ethos_network, and other InfoFi protocol derivatives popping up everywhere, you might be facing burnout. Despite all your hard work, you haven't gained any meaningful engagement, earned Yaps, or received even a hint of an airdrop. It feels unfair. But you might have your strategy wrong here. How about we fix that first? Here are some tips for you: ➠ Take a 1-2 day break from crypto. Do workouts and other activities to refresh your mind. A healthy mindset is crucial for fixing issues and making progress. ➠ Big accounts climb leaderboards faster due to their influence. Focus on increasing your engagement, follower quality, and content standards to compete effectively. ➠ Choose 2-3 projects you know well and enjoy. Don't chase every leaderboard unless you have a team or proper systems to effectively manage the tasks. ➠ Reply genuinely to high-quality accounts you follow. Use AI for writing help, but make sure the ideas are your own. ➠ Create timely, quality content. When projects launch major updates, post within 24-48 hours to capture momentum and boost views. ➠ Don't beg for follows. This can get you blocked or suspended. Earn followers by showing genuine interest in discussions. ➠ Post and engage more on weekends when there's less competition for attention. FYI, I usually get more engagement on the weekends. ➠ Not part of their Discord or Telegram? Your post might go unnoticed. Join their community for better visibility and other potential collaboration. ➠ Post content people want to read. High-quality posts don't need length or graphics; they invite people to read and spark discussion.

➥ Level - The Onchain Banking Protocol @levelusd is emerging as one of the top stablecoin protocols, addressing the complexities of lending by combining two main banking models: → Full-reserve banking: Deposits remain untouched, ensuring 1:1 backing with treasuries or cash. → Fractional reserve banking: Increases capital efficiency by using deposits for lending, thus promoting credit creation and economic growth. Level serves as an additional layer for lending protocols, enabling users to mint $lvlUSD using stablecoins. It aggregates this collateral and allocates it to low-risk lending strategies, which in turn yield returns for the protocol. This process effectively adds liquidity to the crypto ecosystem without removing base assets from circulation. To date, Level has achieved impressive metrics: ➠ Weekly APY >7.0% ➠ Total reserves exceed $125M ➠ $102.55k in yield distributed ➠ Fully auditable and diversified low-risk strategy ➠ XP farm supporting various DeFi protocols, including @pendle_fi, @MorphoLabs, @Penpiexyz_io, @Equilibriafi, @CurveFinance, @beefyfinance, @spectra_finance, and @Contango_xyz ➠ Reduced unstake time from 5 to 3 days ➠ Redeem accrued yield in 3 days instead of 7 There is significant growth potential for Level, especially if they keep enhancing their composability and forge additional integrations.
