Botanix, the Bitcoin L2 network, has officially launched its mainnet bringing integrated apps like GMX and Dolomite, with support from partners including Chainlink and Fireblocks.

Since its testnet launch in December 2024, Botanix has handled over 26 million transactions. Mainnet fees are live now, averaging just $0.02 per transaction.

On-chain sleuth ZachXBT has exposed North Korean IT operatives using Circle-issued USDC to move tens of millions in payments.

Despite Circle’s heavy emphasis on compliance, Zach slammed the firm for inaction calling it part of a “crime super cycle where no one cares.”

The irony? The most “compliant” stablecoin might be quietly enabling sanctioned regimes.

Still bullish, but the easy 100x days are long gone.

Cycles are lengthening, returns are shrinking, and only disciplined conviction plays now survive.

Adapt or get rekt.

Bhutan Secretly Mined $1.3B in Bitcoin No Buys, No Seizures

Instead of buying or seizing BTC, Bhutan quietly built its $1.3B Bitcoin stack through sovereign mining powered by hydroelectric energy.
