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
BTC Holds $81K as Alts Join the Rally Bitcoin is holding above $81,000 after a sharp rebound fueled by ETF inflows and cooler Fed hike odds. Ethereum, XRP, ADA, and DOGE are following, with ZEC leading the alt pack. Total crypto market cap is back near $2.8T. Risk-on is back: BTC strength is lifting alts, and bulls are watching $82K next.

Thanks to Stripe for a fantastic event and for creating space to explore the future of payments, revenue models and more.

Huge thanks to Binance for inviting me to Binance Clubhouse Bali and the Sunset Networking Party — I was there as a Content Creator for @WalletConnect
Highlight from the WCT booth: people paid using their existing wallets (Binance, Trust, Bitget, OKX). This reflects how crypto payments actually work in Southeast Asia. Any token in, merchant gets their preferred token out. Sponsored gas, routed behind the scenes, settled instantly. 700+ wallets, 80,000+ apps, one method.
WalletConnect reported $213.1M in H1 2026 volume on TRON (live only since early year), spanning 1,221 apps across 185 countries with strong USDT dominance and rapid monthly growth.
The team ran a busy booth at Coinfest Asia in Bali showcasing WalletConnect Pay and exclusive merch, then wrapped the event with thanks to the community and announced the next stop in Singapore this October.
New Payments Pulse episodes featured Optimism’s COO on owning payment rails and 60-second settlement, plus BitGo insights on stablecoin transparency and adoption. Weekly stablecoin volume hit another $6.2B.
In Bali for Coinfest Asia last week. Amazing to see Ingenico POS terminals everywhere. @WalletConnect moved over $207B in H1 2026 — already half of last year’s $400B + full-year volume. Real scale, real utility.
Just arrived at Melasti Beach — absolutely stunning. Now I get why Coinfest Asia picked this place
Come find the WalletConnect booth. We’re doing live demos of WalletConnect Pay, real onchain payments, and exclusive merch you can buy right there with crypto. See you at the booth
