62% of tokens from the top 100 don’t survive to 5 years 💧
Of the 1,539 projects that made it into the top 100 by market capitalization, 71.9% are already effectively dead—that is, delisted or trading with volumes of less than $10k per day. The average lifespan of a token is just 2 years and 4 months. After 10 years, only about 15% of projects "survive."
💡 This is the best evidence that the "buy and forget" strategy in crypto works only for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The rest of the altcoins live one cycle. Developers profit and disappear, leaving investors with zombie projects. The main rule: make money off momentum, lock in profits, and don’t get attached to projects. $ETH
In 2027, the European Union plans to revise the MiCA license. They want to tighten the screws for foreign companies that issue crypto and to tighten the rules for stablecoins and tokenized payment systems.
Basically, if you’re not European and want to enter the European market, it will be harder. This applies to companies with offshore jurisdictions and those that are registered in practice not in the EU and provide services on their territory. They don’t know what else to come up with anymore) $XRP
Buffett is buying again! Berkshire Hathaway for the first time in 3.5 years bought more shares than it sold, spending $19.8 billion 💸

Donald Trump expressed a desire to see interest rates lowered, but noted that the decision is made not only by Kevin Warsh, but by the entire Federal Reserve Board.
Trump emphasized that the Fed’s board remains “very politicized,” and the decision does not depend on one person.

“I want to get back to those times,” Trump said. $TRUMP $WLFI $USD1

🫧 Arthur Hayes: the AI bubble is bound to burst, but that’s exactly what will become the driver of Bitcoin’s growth to $1 million.
Main idea of the essay:
The AI bubble won’t burst because artificial intelligence stops being in demand, but because the world will build too many data centers using borrowed money.
When this credit pyramid begins to collapse, the authorities will again be forced to print money to save the economy. This new wave of liquidity, in Arthur Hayes’ view, will become the main driver of the next large-scale surge in Bitcoin. $BTC $TAO
