TRUMP CRYPTO DINNER GOES POORLY

A TikTok prankster who paid ~$300,000 for a seat at Trump's memecoin holder dinner called the three-course meal “trash,” likening the filet mignon to “Walmart steak.” He also dismissed Trump's brief, scripted speech praising crypto as “something special” as “pretty much like bullshit,” noting the president departed before presenting watches to top token holders. Other attendees described the food as merely “OK” and reported similar disappointment with the event's organization. Meanwhile, 35 Democratic lawmakers are urging a Justice Department probe into potential foreign-emoluments violations stemming from the international guest list.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AFTER A PERSONAL DATA BREACH: 5 STEPS

If your personal data is exposed in a breach, attackers can use it to escalate their access through phishing, identity theft, and account takeovers. To protect yourself, take immediate action: freeze your credit, strengthen MFA, replace compromised IDs, secure key accounts (Apple, Google, etc), use a password manager, and lock down your phone. Stay vigilant for scams, monitor your social media, and treat cybersecurity as a necessity, not an option.

16 TAKEAWAYS FROM DELPHI DIGITAL'S 2025 TOKENIZATION REPORT

2025 is the most favorable environment yet for onchain finance. Driven by regulatory tailwinds and breakthroughs in real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure, the shift from proxy tokens to fully compliant, tradable securities is underway, with leaders like Securitize, Dinari, and Kraken building regulated, chain-agnostic systems for tokenized equities, funds, and credit. The long-term value lies not just in the assets, but in the protocols powering 24/7, compliant onchain rails.

POTENTIAL COINBASE CIRCLE ACQUISITION ANALYSIS

Though Coinbase drives most of the USDC volume, it only receives 50% of its revenue. Circle, by contrast, captures full protocol revenue on all $60 billion of USDC in circulation and controls the smart-contract, cross-chain bridging, and governance layers, making it a “TAM play” rather than a margin business. Owning Circle would give Coinbase 100% revenue attribution across the entire USDC supply, full protocol control to monetize onchain wallets and its Base L2, and a consolidated regulatory position. With Circle exploring a $5 billion IPO and USDC's reserve income forecast to reach $20 billion annually, acquiring Circle for anywhere between $10–20 billion aligns with both companies' strategic and financial incentives.
