Oh, so we're back to the original plan?
I still remember @coinbase talking about building an everything app not long ago. A place to scroll, chat, trade, and do everything on-chain.
Now the app is @CoinbaseWallet again.
Looks like the next chapter is much more straightforward.
+ trade across 10+ chains
+ memes, perps, prediction markets and the most anticipated - tokenized stocks
A clear focus, and probably the direction that fits crypto users the most.

bitcoin:native has formed a hidden bearish divergence on the weekly timeframe.
RSI made a higher high, but price made a lower high.
As I said before, I'll stick to my $55K bottom scenario until Bitcoin breaks above $83,000.
And looking at the momentum, it seems like BTC will have a dump first before more upside.

Kaito literally started the InfoFi wave and got everyone hooked.
For a while, everything was going well. Then the market reached the same point every niche eventually faces. Spam, low-quality content, and farming accounts flooded the timeline.
People started wondering where InfoFi would go from there. Did content creation still have real value?
Then @KaitoAI showed up once again.
This time they're tackling the same problems that came with the era they started.
+ rewards tied to real user actions
+ official data partnership with X
+ transparent reward pools and payout schedules
Can Katalyst finally make InfoFi sustainable and fair for everyone?
Introducing Kaito Katalyst, a new reward layer for creator campaigns, where projects pay for what creators actually drive.
This is the closest thing yet to the model many of you have been asking for, rebuilt with a better mechanism underneath and in line with platform rules.
Built on Kaito's latest intelligence infrastructure, projects can attribute rewards using a flexible set of criteria, including mindshare, clicks, sign-ups, deposits, in-platform activity, and more.
It is powered by our broader data agreement with X, our verification architecture with @Brevis_zk, and proprietary attribution infrastructure built in-house.
We have spent the past two months piloting Kaito Katalyst with AI labs, consumer AI apps, smart hardware companies, and businesses across crypto and finance. Several are already in test mode, with some launching imminently.
For TGE projects, we are also introducing a dedicated format with no service fee. Instead, projects put up a refundable deposit alongside the reward pool, so creators know the funds are committed before they post. Each campaign publishes its token allocation pool and vesting terms upfront, so creators know exactly what they are earning and when.
80% of each token pool goes to the creators who drove the results, while the remaining 20% goes to $KAITO stakers and YT-sKAITO holders on @pendle_fi. Long-term holders and Yapybara holders earn a multiplier for their commitment.
This brings back the Stakedrop mechanism we have run since 2025, accruing significant value to the broader Kaito ecosystem - equivalent to a ~136% annualized return.
The market structure may look different from the last cycle, though our biggest opportunities have always come from experimental breakout projects - the very teams this format is best suited for. It allows promising projects to get bootstrapped without an upfront cost, gives more creators access to real opportunities, and enables those backing Kaito to share the upside.
The same structure can also extend beyond traditional token launches to tokenized equity projects willing to use tokens or equity to accelerate their growth.
If this sounds relevant to your project, reach out to our team today.
Much more on the way.

Mid-year is a good time to look back at how far an ecosystem has come.
For @BNBCHAIN, it also marks the start of a much bigger plan - a dedicated network built for AI agents.
The opportunity is already here, with more than 150,000 AI agents across the ecosystem.
And instead of making the current network bigger, BNB Chain is building a new fast lane for AI.
The goal vision is to have CEX-like speed, while users keep full control of their assets and every transaction stays transparent on-chain.
Now we've got something to look forward to!

This one is for anyone still trying to get better at managing money.
Making money is hard, but keeping it and using it wisely is what really leads to financial freedom.
A few main points from @hoeem's piece that really stuck with me:
+ Turn your time online into a personal brand around what you enjoy.
+ Package your knowledge into simple products that can bring extra income.
+ Put that extra income into long-term investments that can grow over time.
Nothing magical here.
Stay consistent for 1-2 years and you'll be surprised by how much your financial life can change.

You guys know I’ve been obsessed with prediction markets lately.
So when @VisionWallet rolled out prediction markets right inside their app, I had to check it out.
It’s the first mobile prediction gateway in Europe.
You can predict sports, politics, culture events directly in your wallet. The UI runs smooth like a Web2 app, and you can top up with a bank card in minutes.
Everything happens in one place, simple and fast.
If you’re curious about where prediction markets are heading, this is probably one of the easiest ways to try it yourself.
Everyone has opinions. Only the market has conviction.
Vision Wallet, the first European partner of Polymarket.
Finance. Politics. Culture. Sports.
Monetise your insight.

Honestly, I do not feel shocked anymore when a big project runs into a serious bug.
The real weight here is it being a privacy project.
People come to @Zcash for the shielded pool, believing it is secure and untraceable.
Yet a bug allowed unlimited fake minting inside Orchard for 4 years without detection.
The team had to act fast:
- Emergency coordination
- Soft fork to contain the issue
- Patch released within days
Still, ZEC dropped over 50% as panic spread.
The team moves on. But in privacy, trust is the core asset. And trust always takes time to rebuild.

My first reaction: wait… seriously?
Michael Saylor, the face of “HODL forever”, just approved a Bitcoin sale. That headline alone was enough to shake the timeline.
What happened:
- MicroStrategy sold 32 BTC, around 2.5m USD, to pay dividends. It’s only 0.0038% of their 843,000+ BTC, but the message hits harder than the size.
- The team now prioritizes flexibility. If selling supports shareholders and strengthens the balance sheet, they move.
It stings a bit.
But at the same time, this might be an intentional move toward active strategy to protect a 60b USD empire.
Ok, for the first time ever
But u think just $2.5m is worth it for a small dip?
Nice play, ser Saylor 👌

MEGA just cooled down and now all eyes are on @KAIO_xyz, a RWA project many people see as the next big play.
Before the token launch, here’s what I think you should know:
+ over 100m USD in live assets
+ running across 10 different networks
+ backed by names like BlackRock and Tether
What stands out to me the most: Team and investor tokens locked for 1 full year.
Trading starts at 1PM UTC on May 6.
Airdrop goes live on May 8 for early contributors.
KAIO built real products first, then launched the token.
In this market, that approach builds strong trust.

While focused on megaETH’s TGE, I’ve also been watching DeFi United updates.
In under 2 weeks after the @KelpDAO hack, they raised over 303m USD, higher than the original loss, to fully repay users.
That speed and scale say a lot about where DeFi stands today.
What surprised me was that big names like @aave, @LidoFinance, @Mantle_Official, along with Justin Sun and over 116,000 wallets, all stepped in.
And fyi, from April 30, users can start claiming funds.
To me, this feels like a real milestone for DeFi’s growth and responsibility.
Thanks to the decisive voice and leadership from @aave, for the first time in DeFi history, a joint relief alliance was urgently formed to deal with the aftermath of a large-scale attack.
This is proof of the ecosystem's maturity, as major players who were once rivals are now willing to come together.
1. What is DeFi United and how was it formed?
DeFi United is a temporary alliance of major protocols formed right after the @KelpDAO exploit on April 18, 2026.
The attack exploited a cross-chain bridge flaw, allowing fake rsETH to be minted and used as collateral to borrow real ETH, creating ~$190-230m bad debt on Aave and Compound.
The initiative was led by Aave founder Stani Kulechov, calling for support to cover ~116,500 rsETH and contain systemic risk.
2. Key participants
The alliance includes major players across the ecosystem:
Protocols & DAOs:
- @aave DAO (25,000 ETH)
- @Mantle_Official (30,000 ETH credit line)
- @ether_fi (5,000 ETH)
- @LidoFinance (2,500 stETH)
Along with @ethena, @golemproject, @Ink Foundation, and @bgdlabs.
Infrastructure & organizations:
- @Consensys & @Sharplink (30,000 ETH)
- @arbitrum DAO (froze ~30,766 ETH)
- @SolanaFndn
- @circle
Individuals:
- @StaniKulechov (5,000 ETH)
- @justinsuntron (20m USDT)
Community: Over 116,000 wallets contributed.
3. Goals and current progress
Main goals:
- Restore rsETH value by injecting real ETH to bring the ratio back to ~1 rsETH ≈ 1.07 ETH.
- Resolve hacker positions through oracle adjustments and controlled liquidation of ~107,000 rsETH.
- Reopen markets across chains and normalize risk parameters.
Current progress:
- Raised ~132,649 ETH (~$303m), covering 148% of bad debt.
- Aave has shared the execution plan, pending governance approval.
- Large portion of funds recovered, including 30k+ ETH from Arbitrum and 73k+ ETH by KelpDAO.
- User compensation starts April 30, 2026 via aave-compensation.com.
Overall view
The response has been strong, and Aave’s TVL is already recovering.
From my pov, this is a turning point. It shows DeFi can coordinate and handle crises without relying on external bailouts, which is something the space has been trying to prove for years.
At the same time, the root issue is still there.
Cross-chain bridges remain one of the weakest points, and without better security, similar incidents can happen again.

In the middle of the @KelpDAO crisis, the bad debt on Aave stands out as the highest risk.
Then an exponential coordination between DeFi protocols has been happening as partners commit their deposits on Aave to cover the exploit amount.
IMO, this move is not just about covering the exploit; it's mainly about building trust among DeFi users.

If X actually launches a crypto product as teased, I guess they won't do anything too complicated, but will focus on extremely practical things to turn X into a financial super app.
Maybe something like:
- X Money with stablecoins: Send money or tip creators as easily as sending a message.
- Smart Cashtags v2: Buy or swap coins directly from the timeline with one click on a hashtag.
- Native wallet and on-chain identity: A built-in wallet with biometric login gives users a secure and seamless digital identity on X.
