25,000 people. 160 countries. One stage after another, for two straight days. 🇸🇬 Marina Bay Sands turned into the center of the crypto world last week at @token2049. Thank you to our friends, clients, partners, and all the attendees for making it one to remember.

There’s a moment @mikebelshe remembers clearly: sending money peer to peer, no bank in the middle, nothing but a transfer. An eye-opening moment, by his own account, and one that matched the scale he expected at the time. What that power is leading to now, and which names from traditional finance are already building around it, is where the story picks up.

Housing outran wages, savings accounts lost ground to inflation, and many investors turned to digital assets to build wealth on their own terms. Keeping it safe matters just as much, and security takes real expertise. BitGo brings you the cold storage, multi-sig and MPC security, and regulated bank backing that institutions have relied on for over a decade, so expert-level protection is already in place when you start. Now it’s free for individuals. Sign up today: app.bitgo.com/web/auth/signu…

Happy Friday! Your Digital Asset Report is here. Strive launched a new preferred stock paying a 15% yield, building out its stack of bitcoin backed income products. President Trump signed every permit needed for the 800 mile Alaska natural gas pipeline, clearing the way for construction to begin immediately. Bitcoin pulled back on hot inflation data, and Ledger confirmed a hardware wallet security breach. Get caught up. 👇

Institutional clients have cleared and settled more than $2 billion in notional volume on @crossover_mkts's CROSSx through BitGo's Go Network. The number matters, but the structure behind it matters more: clients trade on CROSSx without having to hold assets there. Execution, custody, clearing, and settlement stay separate, the way they do across traditional financial markets.

When we look at stablecoin activity, we strip out bots, exchange flows and minting, since raw volume overstates what’s going on. People are moving more money through stablecoins each month than ever before, even though the total amount of stablecoins in circulation hasn’t grown in months. In plain terms, the same dollars are being used more often to pay people, settle trades and move funds between businesses. 💸

Quantum computing creates three separate problems for Bitcoin, says BitGo CEO @mikebelshe. Two of them have a fix available right now. The third is a different kind of challenge entirely. Belshe breaks down all three, and what it means for assets that may never move again.
