~91% of the $300B stablecoin market is fiat-backed, and nearly all the rest still relies on RWAs or centralized assets. @polarisfnd might be the best attempt yet at changing that with a scalable, peg-resilient stablecoin backed only by ETH. Here’s how:

Aave is the liquidity engine for tokenized stocks.
DeFi loans against tokenized stocks are at a new all-time high. Impressively, @aave V4’s new market on @base accounts for over 70% of that growth over the past 30 days. Data: @aavescan

Consumer apps just had their first month as crypto's #1 revenue sector. In September, they earned 39% of all revenue, ahead of blockchains (31%) and finance apps (30%). Data: @BlockworksData

Meet Pancake, the Vercel for GTM. Try it at pancake.ai Your agent ships your product. Now it ships your go-to-market. How? A GTM brain that knows your business, 50+ data providers to find the right customers and tools to reach them. Your next customers are one prompt away. (did I really have to jump off a plane to say that? questionable, but I survived and now you're reading my tweet)

I love the south you just say “how you doing” and you say “good how are you?” And that’s the end of the convo

Can’t remember the last time I saw an interesting MEV story on the timeline.
If you've been in this space long enough, you have probably been sandwiched by jaredfromsubway. No doubt you've heard of him. Today, he was beaten at his own game to the tune of ~$14M. 1/🧵

We just published the most accurate onchain estimate of stablecoin payments ever. Everyone keeps quoting $10T–$30T “stablecoin payments.” That number is wrong. By a lot. Built with @McKinsey payments team, we used a bottom-up approach to isolate real payments. This report previews our new stablecoin payments dashboard, launching soon. The real number will surprise you 👇🧵

hot take, but IMO this will one day be credited for healing a meaningful bit of online societal tension. anytime I see a radical politics tweet: >check location. >they don't live in that country. every time. it's all engagement farms. maybe we aren't as divided as we thought.
