<strong>Morgan Stanley files for Bitcoin and Solana ETFs (4 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Morgan Stanley filed with the SEC for a spot Bitcoin ETF and Solana trust – a strategic shift from distributing third-party crypto products to creating in-house vehicles as institutional demand accelerates. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have grown to $123 billion in total net assets (6.57% of BTC's market cap) with $1.1 billion in net inflows year-to-date, while Solana trusts have surpassed $1 billion in assets following nearly $800 million in cumulative inflows. The ETF business economics are lucrative – BlackRock's Bitcoin ETFs became the firm's top revenue source in November with nearly $100 billion in allocations – and Morgan Stanley's ability to vertically integrate these products through its massive wealth management arm, which opened crypto access to clients in October, keeps management fees in-house rather than paying competitors.

<strong>Ethereum Network Usage Hits Record High (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Ethereum's 7-day average of daily transactions reached a record 2.023 million on January 4, driven primarily by accelerating real-world asset tokenization adoption, yet prediction market data reveal traders assign higher odds to gold hitting $5,000 than Ethereum reaching $4,000. Despite the network usage milestone, ETH is trading at $3,240, with analysts attributing the sentiment disconnect to short-term macro uncertainty and liquidity conditions outweighing on-chain fundamentals in price discovery. Analysts argue this represents a temporary divergence, noting that Ethereum's long-term investment case remains anchored in its DeFi and tokenized asset dominance and suggests that increasing ETH absorption into RWAs and DeFi protocols will tighten effective supply and support more durable price appreciation. Prediction markets show 58% odds for ETH hitting $4,000 versus falling to $2,500, up from 43% at the start of the year, indicating some improving sentiment despite the current lag behind gold.

<strong>G*BOY: The Fastest-Growing IP In Crypto (4 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
G*BOY's "Animate” is a tool that allows community members to convert static images into high-fidelity videos in seconds. It builds on the project's AI toolkit, which has already generated over 130,000 character-consistent assets, with the community now producing 90% of the brand's visual output. Web3 IP is broken because projects treat supporters as passive consumers rather than empowering them with the same creation tools as core teams. G*BOY is positioned as a community-proliferated franchise where token holders own stake in a democratized IP that can compete with billion-dollar media companies for attention on platforms like X and TikTok. The launch bets on video's dominance in the attention economy while embracing community taste rather than fearing supporters will "mess up" the IP as traditional brands do.

<strong>XRPL's MPT Makes Tokenization Production-Ready (1 minute read)</strong>

The XRPL Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) standard embeds institutional controls at the protocol layer (rich metadata, issuer-defined permissions, KYC/AML authorizations, transfer restrictions, freezing, and clawbacks) to deliver deterministic settlement, low fees, and fast finality. This enables compliant stablecoins, tokenized MMFs, RWAs, escrowed collateral, and closed-loop loyalty systems as production-grade financial infrastructure rather than experimental smart-contract pilots.

<strong>Ethereum's Institutional Moment Heads Into 2026 (10 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Ethereum has exited the experimentation phase and is becoming the default blockchain for institutional tokenization, stablecoins, and custom Layer 2 deployments, driven by regulatory clarity, proven uptime, and deep liquidity. Major banks and asset managers, including JPMorgan, BlackRock, Fidelity, and BNY Mellon, are already issuing tokenized funds and financial products on Ethereum, while stablecoins and L2s position it as core financial infrastructure. Looking ahead to 2026, tokenized assets, stablecoins, and ETH's price are forecasted to grow 5x as Ethereum solidifies its role as “digital oil” and an institutional-grade treasury asset.

<strong>AAVE V4: A Fairer Lending Model With Risk Premium (7 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Aave V4 overhauls lending by adding a “Risk Premium” that prices borrowing costs based on the quality of a user's collateral, fixing a long-standing issue where risky and safe borrowers paid the same rates in shared liquidity pools. The protocol assigns risk scores to collateral, computes a position-level risk premium using only the collateral actually needed to back the debt, and accrues that extra cost gradually through interest rather than upfront fees. This design makes borrowing fairer, improves capital efficiency in Aave's new unified liquidity architecture, and aligns interest rates more closely with the real risk each position introduces to the system.

<strong>Circle's USDC outpaces growth of Tether's USDT (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Circle's USDC stablecoin grew 73% to $75.12 billion in 2025, significantly outpacing Tether's USDT growth of 36% to $186.6 billion for the second consecutive year, driven by increasing institutional demand for regulated digital dollars following the passage of the GENUIS Act. USDC's regulatory compliance – including state money transmission licenses, New York virtual currency licensing, and MiCA framework adherence in Europe – has made it the preferred choice for institutions like Visa, Mastercard, and BlackRock, while USDT remains unregulated in the US and Europe. Despite USDC's faster growth trajectory, the two stablecoins still command over 80% of the $312 billion total stablecoin market, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent projecting the sector could reach $3.7 trillion by decade's end. JPMorgan analysts noted that USDC's transparent reserve management and regular audits make it more trustworthy among institutional investors and regulated entities compared to competitors.

<strong>Stablecoin “Interchange” Is a Category Error (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>

<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Proposals to limit stablecoin rewards to merchant transactions misunderstand stablecoins by treating them like credit cards, even though their economics are driven by yield on reserves, not transaction fees. Restricting rewards to spending would effectively tax holders by forcing them to transact just to access value generated by their own balances, while funneling yield to intermediaries. Such a policy would undermine the GENIUS Act's pro-innovation intent, push users and businesses offshore, and weaken US leadership in stablecoins by ignoring how the technology actually creates value.
