#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
⭐️ 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

#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.
UNI just went full main character. Uniswap processed 7 million swaps in a day—82 per second. Robinhood Chain dumped a record $1.6B through it. Protocol fees now buy and burn UNI like a bonfire. Price ripped ~45% this week toward $8–$10. Whales stacking bags. Finally a DEX token that actually gets paid. Unicorns eat fees now
At Stripe Tour Singapore, Hassan Ahmed, our Country Director, joined leaders from Bridge, Stri[e and Laters.com to discuss how stablecoins are becoming critical infrastructure for global commerce.
Asia accounted for 60% of stablecoin payments last year, putting APAC in a unique position to drive adoption across diverse currencies, jurisdictions, payment systems and markets.
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.

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
Bitcoin has crashed below the $63,000 level. Altcoins are bleeding hard across the board with heavy losses and no clear support in sight. The market remains under intense selling pressure.
