<strong>Lawmakers Propose Tax Relief for Small Stablecoin Transactions (4 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Representatives Max Miller and Steven Horsford proposed amending the IRS Code to exempt stablecoin transactions under $200 from capital gains taxes if issued by GENIUS Act-permitted issuers pegged to the dollar with stable trading ranges, while excluding brokers and dealers from the benefit. The draft allows taxpayers to defer income recognition on staking and mining rewards for up to five years rather than immediate taxation, addressing "phantom income" concerns, and extends securities lending treatment to digital asset lending arrangements.

<strong>Coinbase Sues Three States Over Prediction Market Regulation (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Coinbase filed federal lawsuits against Connecticut, Michigan, and Illinois, arguing that prediction markets fall under the CFTC's exclusive federal jurisdiction rather than state gaming boards. The Illinois Gaming Board issued cease-and-desist letters to Kalshi, Robinhood, and Crypto.com in April over sports event contracts, claiming state law violations. Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal argues Congress deliberately excluded only specific commodities like onions from CFTC jurisdiction, making all other subjects, including sports, federally regulated.

<strong>Quantum & Bitcoin (10 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Quantum computing is transitioning from “remote theory” to a plausible engineering timeline, and Bitcoin's slow governance means the network needs to start post-quantum prep now, not when a “Q-day” headline hits. The core fears include keys getting cracked, panic, contentious forks, and institutional confidence breaking if the community has to decide under duress. Furthermore, there's a world where millions of BTC in old “pay-to-public-key” outputs (including Satoshi-era coins) that can't be proactively migrated, forcing a future decision between freezing them or letting a quantum-capable attacker scoop them.

<strong>JPMorgan's tokenized dollars are rewiring money (7 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
JPMorgan launched its JPM Coin tokenized deposits on Coinbase's Base blockchain, driven by institutional demand for bank deposit products on public chains that can be interest-bearing, unlike stablecoins restricted by the GENIUS Act. The permissioned, whitelisted JPMD serves clients using Coinbase for crypto transactions as collateral and margin payments, offering different risk profiles than stablecoins or off-chain bank accounts with cutoff time issues. Tokenized deposits are the "cousin of stablecoins" as banks face interoperability challenges exporting products beyond their four walls versus stablecoins' broader distribution. The bank maintains sole control over the smart contract with proper key storage and role separation, positioning public blockchain infrastructure as the destination for innovation and customer activity.

<strong>Messari 2026 thesis (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
~80% of this year's themes show up in Messari's 2026 thesis, with standout sections on “crypto money,” “TradFi x crypto,” and “decentralized internet finance.” Most L1s can't rely on fee capture in a cheap-blockspace world, so they lean on “monetary premiums” (belief-based value), but only a few assets can sustain that. Messari's ETH framing is ultimately also slightly contradictory, as they are bearish on fees/revenue share and bullish on “winning sectors” like RWAs. RWAs may simply be low-velocity (vault-like), so they don't translate into high chain revenue.

2025 is a year where prices ended roughly flat-to-down despite real institutional progress, whereas 2026 is about activation. Stablecoins will push deeper into payments, and tokenized assets will move into mainstream collateral/settlement. Galaxy's 26 calls range from big-picture (stablecoins overtaking ACH volume, and corporate/permissioned L1s doing real settlement) to very specific (DEX spot share >25%, Polymarket weekly volumes >$1.5B, and more ETF launches).

Stablecoin transaction volume roughly doubled YoY, but the growth isn't mainly consumers buying coffee. The biggest slices are Internal transfers and B2B flows, with retail-like categories (P2P/P2B/B2P) much smaller in comparison. There's also a clear weekday greater than weekend pattern, which is exactly what you'd expect if stablecoins are increasingly used as business settlement plumbing.

<strong>AI x Crypto is Dead, Long Live AI x Crypto (5 minute read)</strong>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
The AI x crypto theme evolved from 2023's decentralized data marketplaces and compute sharing to 2025's autonomous agents managing assets and executing trades. Bittensor surpassed $10 billion market cap as x402 payment protocols enable seamless high-volume settlements without human oversight. Agentic tooling revolutionized onchain development, allowing non-technical founders to launch businesses in days. Grayscale's Decentralized AI Fund holding NEAR, TAO, and FIL signals institutional buy-in. Crypto primitives address AI's centralization risks while AI enhances blockchain usability. Regulatory tailwinds will potentially accelerate adoption toward new highs in 2026.
