qfx Grab a coffee for Standard Chartered’s latest outlook, suggesting stablecoins have done more than disrupt TradFi, quietly setting the stage for a $2 trillion DeFi revolution. 🚀💰 (Or is it just a fancy way of saying ‘We’re all in on this rollercoaster?’)
Since the venerable sage announced his departure in the month of May, that mystical “Buffett premium,” wherein investors imbued the shares with a trust akin to faith in eternal verities, appears to be evaporating like mist before the sun of skepticism, prompting reflections on the vanity of such earthly attachments.
Proof that even the most hopeful of bull trends can fall flat. 🤦♂️
Enter Luca, the crypto analyst with a penchant for predicting climaxes in the rollercoaster that is Bitcoin. According to him, despite the recent tumble-seems like traders were busy playing hide and seek with their wallets-the underlying data hints at a different story.

Bank Indonesia (BI), that stalwart of monetary order, now strides boldly into the digital frontier with its latest brainchild: a stablecoin.

This move plonks one of Ethereum’s most vital cogs into the spotlight of public market scrutiny and, more importantly, the treasure trove of capital. After nearly a decade of being a privately held, founder-controlled Web3 software company, it’s time to see if the big bad world of stocks will give them a warm welcome. Or a cold shoulder. Or a sideways glance. Who knows? 🤷♂️
Thompson spilled the tea: “Powell was basically doing interpretive dance for the admin-like, ‘If you don’t fix the shutdown, I’m not cutting rates. And yes, I did just comment on market pricing. Surprise!’” Classic Powell. Normally, he’d be like, “I don’t do market forecasts,” but this time? He broke character. Why?
