Takeaways: > MSTR Stock is a Leveraged Bitcoin (BTC) Proxy > MSTR Trades at a Significant Premium to Net Asset Value (NAV) > MSTR’s Premium is a meta-stable “Crypto Reactor” that powers MSTR > Convertible Securities Add Optionality but Heighten Risk👇 Source: https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/digital-assets/matthew-sigel-deconstructing-strategy-mstr-premium-leverage-and-capital-structure/

Coinbase Will Have to Acquire Circle – The Only Question Is Price “Coinbase’s growth in consumer and developer products expands USDC usage but with a built-in nerfing system. Unless it controls the protocol, it will always face attribution uncertainty” “The market will tell us the price. But both sides already know the value.” What Coinbase Gets by Acquiring Circle: > 100% Revenue Attribution: Full claim on the interest income from all USDC, regardless of where it’s held. > Protocol Control: USDC smart contracts, multichain integrations & CCTP all become in-house assets. > Regulatory Consolidation: Owning USDC lets it shape stablecoin rules from the top down.👇 Source: https://x.com/yiryan/status/1926927385330360743?s=46&t=ywALktyM5ZCyt-zigN5Big

Louie: Beyond the Casino - The Next Five Years of Solana The essay argues Solana’s “casino” phase of memecoins is a catalyst, not a liability, seeding users, liquidity, and culture. They're part of the story, not a detour from it. > The next five years won’t be about running from that identity but maturing beyond it > Solana’s speed, consumer-focused apps, Firedancer upgrade, and growing institutional backing could make it the go-to chain for real-time mainstream use beyond speculation over the next five years Source: https://louieajacob.substack.com/p/beyond-the-casino-the-next-five-years
