Bitcoin fell about 4% to near $76,000 after the U.S. Senate rejected a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act 49-50. The bill needed 60 votes to advance market-structure rules dividing oversight between the SEC and CFTC. The defeat, just before midterms, removes a key regulatory catalyst and leaves crypto exposed to Fed policy and rising yields. Altcoins and crypto stocks also dropped.
RWA tokenization isn’t just stocks, stablecoins, or real estate anymore — collectibles are onchain too. Every tracked TCG beat the S&P last year
Courtyard.io vaults graded slabs, mints a 1:1 claim, and lets you trade instantly or redeem the physical item worldwide. The real edge is liquidity: pull a pack and you can sell it back to the platform on the spot via instant buyback (~90% of fair market value), list it with 0% seller fees, or trade it without shipping. Capital doesn’t sit locked in a slab.
They’re now expanding beyond cards, coins, watches. Sneakers are next #Courtyard #RWA #nft

#appledebutsfoldablephone iPhone inflation is real. Bitcoin isn’t. Apple can print infinite iPhones. Bitcoin cannot print infinite coins. In 2016 an iPhone 7 Plus cost 1.23 BTC. In 2026 an iPhone 18 Pro costs 0.01 BTC. Same company. Same product cycle. Completely different money.
August: Coinbase tokenized US stocks (NVDA, AAPL, GOOGL, META) + RWA rails for funds and credit. Payments, stocks, and real-world assets now settle on #BaseChain
Base is the No1 Ethereum L2. $5.6B+ DeFi TVL. ~10M tx/day. $935M DEX volume daily — ~$25B in 30 days. $4.9B stablecoins, first among L2s, mostly USDC.
⭐️ BREAKING: @WalletConnect Policy report is live. GENIUS is law - not in force. The State of Compliance, Policy, and Regulation Report is out. It maps the global rulebook, stablecoin frameworks, AML, the Travel Rule, sanctions, and DeFi compliance. Dated takeaway: the Genius Act is enacted, not live until January 18, 2027. Not legal advice
NVIDIA isn’t just selling GPUs — it’s buying the whole AI stack. $63B portfolio: ~44% Intel, 30% SpaceX, plus CoreWeave, Nebius & Synopsys. Jensen is investing in the companies that need his chips. The house always wins. 🟢
⭐️ WalletConnect H1: $155.9B in USDC moved on the network. The US led. Singapore came in #2 at $4.61B ahead of Japan, the UAE, and Hong Kong. @WalletConnect

The purpose-built two-seater, now on Texas streets beside mounted police, signals Tesla’s unsupervised autonomy milestone. With dozens registered and production ramping at Giga Texas, Cybercab positions Tesla to scale a high-margin robotaxi network. Investors view the launch as a bullish catalyst for TSLA’s next growth chapter.
#bitcoinetfsbiggestdailyinflowsincejanuary BTC slipped under $80k today near $79.6k after the hot US jobs print. Rate-cut hopes faded a bit. Still, Bitcoin ETFs just posted their biggest daily inflow since January — $731M on Thursday, nearly $1B this week. That’s why I’m holding. Only 21 million coins. No one can print more. Inflation eats fiat. BTC is the hardest money we have
