Iโ€™ve been in crypto since 2017 (fed up and almost left in 2019), grinding my ass off with no major success for years. I made small profits trading, but never more than $10K from a single play. Then came April 2021. I put $500 into Refinable ($FINE), an IDO backed by Binance and MrBeast on Polkastarter launchpad. That $500 turned into $50K+. My first big win. A couple of months later June-July 2021, I got into BabyDoge very early and made my first million (thanks to Elon's post) My point? ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ. ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜.

Aerodrome + Velodrome are officially becoming one. Aero is now live across 7 chains - Base, Ethereum, OP, Arbitrum, Arc, Ink and Robinhood Chain. Two established DeFi liquidity hubs, now running under one system. Waiting to see where the liquidity actually follows.
Aero is here. Get on board.

More ETH is being staked even as the yield keeps falling. 43.8M ETH is now staked - 35.9% of total supply - after six straight quarters of net inflows. Yield meanwhile dropped from 2.81% to 2.63%. That divergence is the most interesting part. #Ethereum #ETH $ETH
Bitwise: Ethereum Staking Hits Record 43.8M ETH, Accounting for 35.9% of Total Supply, Up for Sixth Consecutive Quarter Bitwise's Q4 2026 Staking Report shows that Ethereum staking reached an all-time high of 43.8 million ETH, representing 35.9% of total supply and marking six consecutive quarters of growth. Ethereum's staking yield declined from 2.81% to 2.63%. Solana's staking ratio stood at 69%, with yields falling from 6.38% to 5.99%, while NEAR's staking ratio reached 46%, with a yield of 4.87%. The report also highlighted that tokenized stock trading volume on Solana rose 45% to $6.93 billion, while daily tokenized stock trading volume on Robinhood Chain increased 22-fold during the quarter.

JPMorgan bringing tokenized bank deposits onto Ethereum mainnet says more than yet another โ€œinstitutional adoptionโ€ headline. Not a retail stablecoin. Not a demo. Institutional USD deposits moving on public blockchain rails. TradFi keeps getting more onchain. #RWA #DeFi #ETH
News: JPM Coin (JPMD), @jpmorgan's USD deposit token, is now live on @ethereum. JPMD extends from Base to Ethereum L1, giving institutional clients native onchain cash that sits alongside the assets, collateral and counterparties they transact with already. J.P. Morgan has now added a cash leg to the products it already live on Ethereum mainnet, with tokenized money market funds MONY and JLTXX both already on the network. Ethereum is the home of onchain finance.

A lot of people still think of ๐—”๐˜…๐—ถ๐—ฒ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† as a project that peaked during the 2021 play-to-earn boom and slowly faded away. But looking at what @Jihoz_Axie and @AxieInfinity have been working on lately, there's a much bigger shift happening that I think deserves attention. The old Axie was largely built around battling, breeding and earning tokens. It brought millions into Web3 gaming, but the model struggled when earning rewards became the main reason to play. Now, Axie seems to be taking a different approach. ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ'๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: ๐Ÿญ. ๐—” ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป-๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—บ๐˜† The introduction of bonded AXS (bAXS) is designed to reward actual participation rather than short-term farming and selling. Converting bAXS into transferable AXS involves a fee linked to Axie Score, giving long-term players stronger incentives to stay engaged. 2. ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—”๐˜…๐—ถ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ Homeland has been replaced by Terrariums, where land, Axies, evolved parts, accessories and other collectibles contribute to an evolving reward system. Instead of NFTs being useful mainly for battling or trading, the goal is to make ownership meaningful across different experiences. ๐Ÿฏ. ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ฏ๐Ÿฏ ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ Atia's Legacy, Axie's upcoming MMO, is being developed around PvE, PvP, multiplayer dungeons, raids and long-term progression. What's particularly interesting is the team's focus on testing it with people who have never played Axie or interacted with Web3. The goal is no longer just to attract people looking to earn. It's to build games people genuinely enjoy playing. ๐Ÿฐ. ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ผ Axie's first AI-assisted Vibeathon produced 91 playable submissions, with eight finalists moving forward. That's a pretty interesting direction. Rather than relying entirely on Sky Mavis, Axie is exploring an ecosystem where community developers can create their own experiences around its IP. Meanwhile, Origins continues to receive new seasons, Terrariums is expanding, and deeper Axie progression and a more community-led future for Classic are being explored. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—”๐˜…๐—ถ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿญ. Back then, the biggest attraction was what players could earn. ๐˜•๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ, ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ, ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ, ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜บ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ. Of course, there's still plenty to prove, especially when it comes to attracting new players and making the economy work long-term. But it's interesting to see how one of Web3 gaming's earliest success stories is adapting, experimenting and finding a new direction years after its initial boom. Whether this marks the beginning of another successful chapter remains to be seen, but it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. I'll be following Axie's progress closely and sharing updates as things unfold. #Web3Gaming #AXIE #GamingCommunity

Imagine getting 411 BTC in 2013 at around $131โ€ฆ then basically leaving it untouched for 13 years. That wallet just moved 411.45 BTC - about $34M - to a fresh address. The fee? 337 sats. Roughly 28 cents ๐Ÿ˜ญ And it didnโ€™t go to an exchange either. Some people really do have diamond hands ๐Ÿ‘Š

GM, Kings and Queens! โ˜• Dream big. Stay focused. Stay consistent. Success isn't built overnight. It takes patience, discipline, and the courage to keep showing up, even when nobody is watching. Not every day brings green candles, but every day is a chance to learn, grow, and move forward. Your best days are still ahead.

In 2024, an employee at engineering firm Arup transferred $25.6 million after joining a video call where every other participant was a deepfake. Since then, AI has advanced significantly and is making impersonation increasingly convincing, causing challenges for financial institutions in particular. As autonomous agents begin handling more financial activity on behalf of people, establishing an added layer of trust and security behind a transaction or sensitive conversation is becoming an urgent need. Introducing @world_id for banking and finance, a suite of technologies that helps institutions establish trust through privacy-preserving cryptographic Proofs. World ID for Zoom lets meeting participants confirm they are the same Orb-verified human connected to their account, while World ID for agents allows AI agents to carry Proofs delegated by people. Bain Capital, OpenExchange, Outtake, Pantera Capital, and VanEck Funds are initial design partners, bringing World ID into some of finance's most consequential interactions. fortune.com/2026/10/18/zoom-โ€ฆ

Mudwater is an old game played deep in the Everglades. Instead of dice in alleys, we play Mudwater on the docks. The game is simple, but the skill ceiling is high. And we play for keeps. We've just airdropped this 6551 Totem, paired to all BAYC & MAYC, enabling pack claims.
