Ethereum layer-2 rollups Arbitrum and Optimism have seen an uptick in their daily transactions over the past few months. Ethereum, meanwhile, is seeing a slight downtrend.
Arbitrum and Optimism are optimistic rollups designed to reduce the cost of transactions for the use of Ethereum dapps.
Both platforms have seen an uptick in daily active users recently, data compiled by Blockworks Research shows, with Optimism recently overtaking Arbitrum for daily active addresses and transactions per day.

Martin Lee, data journalist at Nansen, told Blockworks that as time goes by, these ecosystems are becoming more developed — which may be one of the reasons as to why they are seeing a spike in active users and transactions.
”DeFi protocols GMX for example is one of the key protocols driving Arbitrum’s active users and transactions,” Lee said. “Sushiswap’s activity on Arbitrum is seeing an increase as well due to the recent spike and revival of MAGIC,” a gaming-related token.
The number of transactions on Arbitrum has been steadily increasing since its Nitro upgrade in August, information on blockchain analytics platform Nansen shows.
This upgrade, which was completed prior to the Ethereum Merge, increased Arbitrum’s throughput capacity by more than 7-to-10 times that of the Ethereum mainnet — hastening transaction speeds and reducing costs and requirements to run nodes.
These improvements may also be the reason why many new projects have decided to launch on Arbitrum.
Some of the most recent projects that have been onboarded to the network include: Bebop DEX, which specializes in one-to-many and many-to-one token trading; automated money flow provider Cask Protocol; on chain-asset management platform Factor; and NFT platform OpenSea.
In the case of Optimism, Lee says that, “we’re seeing a similar trend where DeFi protocols are one of the key drivers of adoption of the chain — Perpetual Protocol, Velodrome, Pika Protocol. Another key driver for both chains is Galxe, the on-chain identity and credentials project.”
The ecosystems also have the two highest total value locked (TVL) across all layer-2 networks, with Arbitrum having a TVL of $2.34 billion, making up over 52% of the entire market share. Optimism has a TVL of $1.27 billion, totaling almost 30% of the entire market share, according to L2beat data.
Arbitrum does not yet have its own governance token, but Optimism’s OP token has posted double-digit gains since the start of 2023.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s unfortunate that the back and forth between the two had to be used against Wright’s claims, but I think they offered a very unique and important look into Satoshi.
\n\n\n\n
When they first dropped, the other Blockworks editors and I spent hours thumbing through each email just analyzing everything Satoshi said back in the day. We learned a lot.
\n\n\n\n
He didn’t want to call bitcoin an investment, for example.
\n\n\n\n
Wright can no longer claim to be Satoshi as ruled by a UK judge, and his site now says, “Dr. Craig Steven Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.”
\n\n\n\n
After years of Wright’s claims — and so many legal battles — we can finally put this one to rest. Unless he’s formally charged, of course.

They say nature healed during the pandemic.
\n\n\n\n
Dolphins frolicking through Venice canals. Mountain lions curiously explored urban outskirts, where they’re usually turned off by the buzz of pesky humans.
\n\n\n\n
The boffins might debate whether all that actually happened, or even if it did, whether the covid “anthropause” was a net positive for nature.
\n\n\n\n
But the same thing can now happen to Bitcoin and blockchain development. Craig Wright was a key antagonist in the Block Size War, which ultimately diluted Bitcoin discourse, resulting in two satellite ecosystems of builders.
\n\n\n\n
The work of those builders, particularly in Bitcoin SV world, was forever overshadowed by whatever controversy Wright was wrapped up in at any given time.
\n\n\n\n
Bitcoin is different now than before the hard forks. There’s more freedom to build, even non-money use cases like Ordinals.
\n\n\n\n
Maybe a prodigal developer out there could be the one to make a breakthrough layer-2. Who knows. At least there’s one less distraction.

In the early 2010s, banking customers dissatisfied with the fees, complexity and poor service of traditional banks gained some new options.
\n\n\n\n
Neobanks, also called digital or challenger banks, emerged as fintech startups aimed at providing banking services primarily through mobile apps and web platforms, without the need for physical branches.
\n\n\n\n
Fintechs like Simple in the US, N26 in Germany, and Monzo and Revolut in the UK focused on providing an intuitive user experience, often incorporating features such as real-time spending notifications, budgeting tools and easy money transfers.
\n\n\n\n
Yet like their brick and mortar counterparts, there remains an account at the center of a closed loop of services.
A new crypto consortium is pitching “Open Finance,” or OpenFi, as an alternative to both neobanks and strictly crypto DeFi.
\n\n\n\n
The key concept lies in starting from a user-controlled account. Rather than having banks as the KYC-enforcing gatekeeper, banking services can be plugged in — and swapped out — like the “money Lego” metaphor we’re so accustomed to in Web3.
\n\n\n\n
In short, OpenFi is a framework for integrating noncustodial blockchain solutions into the traditional financial system.
\n\n\n\nSource: Safe\n\n\n\n
The vision of OpenFi
\n\n\n\n
Pitched on the sidelines of EthCC in Brussels, the group envisions a future where banking accounts are replaced by smart wallets, enabling users to manage their finances independent of any one centralized entity.
\n\n\n\n
Instead, like an a la carte menu, specialized providers take on the job of banking services, an approach that removes single points of failure and puts users in control.
\n\n\n\n
A key component of the OpenFi strategy is the development of infrastructure to support apps. As Jasper De Maere, research lead at Outlier Ventures noted, “apps inspire infrastructure [and] infrastructure enables new apps.” In short, it’s time fintechs migrate to a new tech stack, he said.
\n\n\n\n
Unlike embedded wallets offered by centralized players — sometimes referred to as CeDeFi, OpenFi advocates call for the use of smart wallets — Safe and Zeal, which is built on Safe, are two of the group’s initial members.
\n\n\n\n
Smart accounts provide direct access to DeFi applications, allowing users to determine their security setup, while outsourcing payment and banking rails to providers such as Monerium and Gnosis Pay.
For OpenFi to realize its full potential, there needs to be a concerted effort to develop more user-friendly applications that can rival those offered by traditional fintech companies, but also further progress on identity and security solutions.
\n\n\n\n
On the identity front, Julian Leitloff of idOS pointed to the need to streamline onboarding and avoid redundant KYC processes. Today, most users need to repeatedly verify their identity when accessing different financial services. OpenFi, which Leitloff called “the killer use case for crypto,” proposes a unified identity solution that simplifies this process.
Despite the promise of OpenFi, traditional financial institutions will continue to play a crucial role, according to Julian Grigo from Safe. Merchants and service providers are not yet ready to accept direct crypto payments, which is why hybrid solutions like Stripe, Gnosis Pay and Kulipa are needed to bridge this gap while maintaining regulatory compliance.
\n\n\n\n
But by unbundling accounts from banking services, the OpenFi group hopes to fulfill the promise of an open, user-centric financial ecosystem, with greater choice and more options for generating yield onchain — something the neobanks have failed to deliver.

Welcome to the On the Margin Newsletter, brought to you by Ben Strack, Casey Wagner and Felix Jauvin. Here’s what you’ll find in today’s edition:
\n\n\n\n
\n
We revisit the Fed’s last economic projections ahead of next week’s FOMC meeting.
\n\n\n\n
There’s a new name on the Trump ticket, and many crypto fans are pleased.
\n\n\n\n
Sources indicate a possible launch date for US spot ETH ETFs.
\n
\n\n\n\n
Did the Fed just secretly increase their target?
\n\n\n\n
I’ll be honest. When the FOMC meeting happened last month, I was caught flat-footed.
\n\n\n\n
In the days leading up to the meeting, it seemed like every economic data point was missing to the downside, with the climax being a soft May CPI print on the day of the June meeting.
\n\n\n\n
Going into the Fed’s statement release at 2 pm ET, it felt like a dovish dot plot forecast was a lock.
\n\n\n\n
To my surprise, the Summary of Economic Projections guided to only one rate cut in 2024, and they increased their year-end forecast for Core PCE to 2.6 from 2.4. On the margin (wink wink, nudge nudge), it was hawkish.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In the days following the meeting, it felt to me like there were two possibilities:
\n\n\n\n\n
The Fed, after being burned in Q1 2024 with a surprise rebound in inflation, wanted to buy optionality in the lead-up to the next few FOMC meetings but were still leaning dovish. They just wanted to have the optionality.
\n\n\n\n
The Fed had made their classic policy mistake once again of getting too hawkish right at the turn of the slowing economy and had just set the path towards a hard landing.
\n\n\n\n\n
As the weeks went on, I began to realize I had missed something. The unemployment rate forecast for the end of this year had been lowered to where we already were: 4%, from 4.1%.
\n\n\n\n
Because of this change, if June’s unemployment rate rose at all, we would instantly be above the Fed’s year-end forecast. And that’s exactly what happened — it printed at 4.1%.
\n\n\n\n
Finally, circling back to the present day, we now have inflation prints that are missing to the downside and unemployment rate prints above the Fed’s forecast. This combination lines things up perfectly for the Fed to cut rates in September.
\n\n\n\n
This mechanical game of central banking chess was interesting. But it felt like they had bet everything on a single dot plot update, and that seemed risky. However, the light bulb really went off when I came across an analysis from Warren Pies (recently an On the Margin podcast guest). He mentioned the following:
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Put simply, it sort of looks like the Fed just tweaked their summary of economic projections (SEP) to up the inflation target to 2.8% without explicitly admitting it. Now, that’s a gambit worth betting the house on.

Former President Donald Trump received the Republican nomination yesterday and announced his running mate: Ohio Senator JD Vance.
\n\n\n\n
Vance, author of 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy and a former vocal critic of Trump, won his US Senate seat in 2022 on a pro-crypto platform. He advocated against President Biden’s infrastructure bill, which included new tax reporting requirements for crypto exchanges. Vance also in 2022 cited Canadian government efforts to freeze and close bank accounts as a reason for “why crypto is taking off.”
\n\n\n\n
Vance, alongside Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., sent a letter to SEC Chair Gary Gensler in January after the regulator’s X account prematurely said the agency had approved bitcoin ETFs. Gensler noted at the time the account had been “compromised.”
A venture capitalist, Vance’s crypto holdings are substantial. The senator had between $100,000 and $250,000 of BTC held at Coinbase as of December 2022, federal disclosures show.
\n\n\n\n
Of the four finalists who made Trump’s vice president shortlist, Vance is the youngest (by almost two decades). In true Apprentice fashion, the former president summoned each VP hopeful to Milwaukee before eliminating them from the running one by one.
\n\n\n\n
Should Trump win the election, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine would need to appoint a replacement for Vance’s Senate seat. DeWine’s only parameters are to find someone “suitable” and “qualified.”
\n\n\n\n
Given his Republican status, he is expected to pick a fellow GOP member. A special election for the seat, in which the appointed senator may or may not run, would then be held in 2026.
\n\n\n\n
We will see how (and if) the crypto conversation continues for the Trump campaign in the months leading up to the election.

ETH ETFs have possible launch date, sources say
\n\n\n\n
Fund firms submitted revised filings for their planned US spot ether ETFs last week and eagerly awaited next steps from the SEC.
The securities regulator has asked issuers to submit final registration statements by Wednesday, according to two people close to the filings. The disclosure documents are expected to reveal fees for the funds and all other details not previously disclosed.
\n\n\n\n
Issuers are then set to request for those documents to go “effective,” which is expected by next Monday. That would set up a potential launch date of July 23, the sources added.
An SEC spokesperson said the agency does not comment on individual filings.
\n\n\n\n
July 23 is exactly two months after May 23 — the day the SEC approved 19b-4 proposals by the exchanges on which the ETH funds would trade.
\n\n\n\n
A separate SEC unit — its Division of Corporation Finance — was tasked with working with issuers to finalize disclosure documents before they could launch.
Investors will be able to pick from ETH funds by BlackRock, Fidelity, VanEck, Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton and Invesco/Galaxy.
\n\n\n\n
And it looks like we may know all the price points of those offerings by about 5:30 pm ET Wednesday, though several-basis-point differences might not mean much.
\n\n\n\n
US spot crypto ETFs were, for a while, some mystical end goal that are now coming to fruition. BTC funds started trading in January, and half a year later, we are about to have ETH offerings.
\n\n\n\n
So the checkered flag for this listing process is at the ready, and then another race (for ETH ETF assets) will begin.
\n\n\n\n
It kind of reminds me of that Semisonic lyric:
“Closing time. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”

Bitcoin, after falling from roughly $65,000 to $63,000 within hours of the Mt Gox wallet transfer this morning, was hovering around $64,550 as of 2 pm ET. Ether’s price was about $3,460 at that time.
\n\n\n\n
The latest campaign finance documents show the Trump campaign has received about $3 million in crypto donations — mostly in BTC and ETH. The PACs which received the funds promptly converted the various digital assets into USDC, the disclosures indicate.
\n\n\n\n
US retail sales data came in stronger than expected on Tuesday, boosting stocks and bolstering hopes of a Fed rate cut in the fall.

Howdy!
\n\n\n\n
My bike got stolen from in front of my apartment last night, which — and I promise this isn’t just me coping — I had kind of been hoping would happen, because the bike literally doesn’t have brakes and its seat was stuck at the lowest height.
\n\n\n\n
So, your ill-gotten new bike sucks. Get pranked, thief. Anyways:

Raydium leads the way as Solana DeFi volumes grow
\n\n\n\n
Solana DeFi is ascending to new heights — and it’s still memecoins all the way down.
\n\n\n\n
For the first time in its history, Solana appears poised to surpass Ethereum in trailing 30-day volume for decentralized exchange trading. In other words, Solana appears close to outpacing the Ethereum blockchain in DeFi trading for an entire month — rather than the occasional 24-hour window that Solana boosters are wont to post about.
\n\n\n\n
(Also, notably: the Ethereum figure cited above does not account for layer-2s.)
\n\n\n\n
The story of Solana’s recent DeFi growth seems to heavily involve the decentralized exchange Raydium, which has made itself the sector’s trading giant.
\n\n\n\n
A year ago, Raydium accounted for roughly 25% of Solana DeFi volume. Today, Raydium accounts for more than 60% of Solana DEX volume, according to a Dune Analytics dashboard.
\n\n\n\n
This has largely come at the expense of Orca, which has seen its share fall from over 60% last August to around 20% today. A different dashboard shows that Raydium has also recently surpassed the popular DEX aggregator Jupiter in trading volume share.
\n\n\n\n
Much of Raydium’s volume comes from memecoins. CoinGecko data shows the Popcat token accounted for over 10% of Raydium spot volume in the past 24 hours. Michi and dogwifhat were second and third, respectively.
\n\n\n\n
Marginfi co-founder MacBrennan Peet told me that he, too, has been seeing “a ton of long-tail tokens grab a ton of attention recently.” (Long-tail tokens refer to lesser-known cryptos.) It appears that Solana’s DeFi summer is broadly still being driven by memecoins.
\n\n\n\n
Interestingly, Raydium’s use was partly helped along by its partnership with memecoin launch pad Pump.fun, which would send sufficiently-liquid tokens to trade on Raydium. But Pump.fun’s fee income has somewhat stagnated in recent weeks while Raydium’s income has grown.
\n\n\n\n
If you wanted to pull a story out of this, it could be that Pump.fun’s splattering of longshot memecoins didn’t prove to be very fun compared to betting on more-established memecoins — where your chances might still be low, but at least there are a lot of other investors in it with you.
\n\n\n\n
But I’d take heed before making too much of these figures, because they are notoriously gameable and subject to change.
\n\n\n\n
The memecoin regime may not last forever though. Jito’s Andrew Thurman pointed out that there are “a lot of interesting products that don’t have a super dominant equivalent yet” on Solana, pointing to Ethereum’s “synthetic dollar” Ethena and yield tokenization platform Pendle as a couple examples.
\n\n\n\n
Thurman also pointed out Solana’s healthy level of stablecoin movement relative to the amount of stables onchain, or the total value locked (TVL). Solana’s stablecoin supply is in between that of Arbitrum and Base, but Solana saw more than triple the stablecoin transfer volume of either layer-2 over the past 24 hours, according to Artemis.
\n\n\n\n
“Whole lot more velocity, and eventually the TVL sums will follow,” Thurman wrote.

Zero In
\n\n\n\n
20%
\n\n\n\n
That’s how much of the total PYUSD supply has been deposited into Kamino Finance, according to data from Artemis and Kamino — an eye-popping proportion enabled by incentives spending.
\n\n\n\n
PayPaldeployed its stablecoin on Solana in late May. On July 1, Kamino announced an incentivized PYUSD launch where users would receive boosted rewards for depositing the stablecoin on Kamino.
\n\n\n\n
Those supplying PYUSD on the platform are currently earning 16.43% APY, according to Kamino’s website.
\n\n\n\n
We’ve reported that PYUSD on Solana is meant for payments use cases, but for now, it seems to be finding product-market fit among degens.
To set the scene: Crypto has never been exactly easy to get into (that is, to put one’s money in), but crypto finance platforms have made strides over the years.
\n\n\n\n
Khan’s self-described 10-minute experiment put some of those onramps to the test.
\n\n\n\n
Specifically, the test involved downloading a Phantom wallet client, creating a new wallet, storing the associated seed phrase, creating a password and biometrics, and confirming recovery.
\n\n\n\n
From there, he tried to buy $50 worth of SOL. He chose three onramps: Coinbase, MoonPay and Meso.
\n\n\n\n
Who came out on top? Coinbase, after a total of 2:18 minutes. It took a total of six procedural steps and in the end, he received $48.48 out of the $50 sought.
\n\n\n\n
In last place came MoonPay. After 5 minutes and 45 seconds and 13 steps, Khan wrote that he wasn’t able to add his debit card.
\n\n\n\n
The overall verdict? “The current state of onramps suggests that we’re still far from solving the challenges of pure fiat-to-crypto onboarding for mainstream users. To win in this space, it should be as simple as Apple/Google Pay,” Khan wrote.
\n\n\n\n
If you’re someone who cares about the nitty-gritty of consumer crypto app progress, I suggest Khan’s post — let’s call it a bellwether for where the space sits in its long quest to drive consumer adoption.

Fund issuers looking to offer spot ether ETFs in the US have heard from the Securities and Exchange Commission — with sources saying the dialogue points to launches next week.
\n\n\n\n
The securities regulator has asked the companies to submit their final registration statements, or S-1s, for the proposed ETH funds by end of day on Wednesday, two people close to the filing told Blockworks.
\n\n\n\n
These documents would address any final suggested revisions and include details left off some previous S-1s, including fees.
Per the SEC’s request, issuers expect to then request “accelerated” effectiveness of those disclosure documents next Monday, the sources said. That would possibly clear the funds to launch on Tuesday, July 23.
\n\n\n\n
One of the people close to the filings said something could always come up to foil that timeline, but noted all signs point to it being “go time” for the ETH funds.
\n\n\n\n
The source’s comments confirm similar details shared Monday on X by Bloomberg Intelligence analysts.
\n\n\n\n
A spokesperson for the SEC did not immediately return a request for comment.
\n\n\n\n
The SEC in May approved the ETH ETF-related proposals filed by exchanges on which the funds would be listed. Despite the landmark ruling, issuers had to iron out additional disclosure details with a separate unit of the regulator — the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance — before the funds could be cleared to trade.
\n\n\n\n
Industry analysts and executives at the time guessed that process could take between two weeks and several months.
\n\n\n\n
One of the people close to the matter said the dialogue between the SEC and fund issuers has been done at “a reasonable pace.”

Crypto has a pal
\n\n\n\n
As far as crypto adopters among fintech giants go, PayPal is right up there.
\n\n\n\n
Mastercard and Visa may have been working with the space a little longer, but PayPal has got its hands dirty in blockchain in a very particular way.
\n\n\n\n
First, its move to let US-based users buy bitcoin and three other cryptocurrencies directly from the app in October 2020 was prescient.
\n\n\n\n
While the price of bitcoin had looked strong after the COVID crash earlier in the year — more than doubling from $5,200 to $11,000 by the time of PayPal’s announcement — it was still well below its 2017 peak.
\n\n\n\n
Bitcoin would go 6x in the five months after PayPal added crypto in its flagship app, and it had set a $69,000 top for the 2021 bull market cycle just one year later.
\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, PayPal’s SEC filings don’t show how much crypto PayPal users had bought throughout the first year or so.
\n\n\n\n
But starting in Q2 2022 (about a year and a half after crypto was added), PayPal disclosed safeguarding around $600 million in user crypto. Last quarter, PayPal users were sitting on $2.85 billion in crypto.
\n\n\n\nBitcoin made up about 60% of the crypto held in PayPal wallets at the end of Q1\n\n\n\n
Granted, rising crypto prices had a lot to do with the big jump in between the previous two quarters. Bitcoin swelled by as much as 70% across December and the end of March, setting a new all-time high to boot.
\n\n\n\n
PayPal doesn’t disclose the exact number of bitcoin or ether held by its users. Still, a rough estimate is possible by comparing the value of user crypto at the end of each quarter with prices around the same time.
\n\n\n\n
That shows PayPal users may have either net sold their bitcoin and ether between Q3 2022 and Q4 2023, or withdrawn their crypto from the app.
\n\n\n\n
But between the end of December and the end of March, they could’ve increased their bitcoin and ether holdings by up to 50%. At least, that’s what the napkin math suggests.
\n\n\n\nPayPal users were sitting on an estimated 24,000 BTC at the end of March\n\n\n\n
As for PayPal’s own branded stablecoin PYUSD, issued in partnership with Paxos (which also facilitates its crypto wallet), it’s humming along nicely.
\n\n\n\n
It even hit $5 billion in onchain volume on Ethereum, according to a Dune dashboard from SQRR Research.
\n\n\n\n
Adding that volume with trading volumes on centralized and decentralized exchanges reflects slow and steady adoption of PYUSD from traders: $333.5 million in the past week compared to $62.5 million in the first week of January. And that’s only the trading pairs on TradingView.
\n\n\n\nThere’s been at least $5.4 billion in PYUSD volume across Ethereum and Solana, as well as trading pairs on Kraken, Coinbase, Kucoin and others\n\n\n\n
But perhaps the most crypto-savvy decision of all from PayPal was in its choice to only add a small selection of coins to its platform, besides PYUSD: bitcoin, litecoin, bitcoin cash and ether.
\n\n\n\n
All those cryptocurrencies run on proof-of-work, or at least, ether did in October 2020, which was two years before its switch to proof-of-stake.
\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Coinbase and a string of other crypto exchanges are now fighting for their right to list swathes of other cryptocurrencies, predominantly tokens from proof-of-stake networks.
\n\n\n\n
Watch out for PayPal to add some of those to its app, should Coinbase win.

72% of PYUSD on Ethereum is on centralized exchanges, equal to $274.4 million.
\n\n\n\n
26% is in miscellaneous Ethereum wallets, while only 2% ($7.8 million) is in DeFi, referring to DEXs and lending protocols.
\n\n\n\n
PYUSD is seeing the most DeFi usage through Curve.fi and CoW Protocol.
\n\n\n\n
BTC and ETH are in lockstep, both adding a tad over 2% in the past day and 11% in the past week. (BTC: $63,800; ETH: $3,420).
\n\n\n\n
Memecoins PEPE, WIF and FLOKI are leading the top end of the table, all up over 20% on the daily candle.
\n
\n\n\n\n
In stealth mode
\n\n\n\n
PayPal is indeed one of the most interesting crypto-exposed companies in the space right now.
\n\n\n\n
When you dig through their earnings reports and analyst notes, they tend to stay rather mum on the topic of crypto.
\n\n\n\n
In the first quarter earnings call earlier this year, for example, PayPal really just said that it planned to eliminate crossborder transaction fees when funding with PYUSD.
\n\n\n\n
CEO Alex Chriss, at the time, said they believe there’s “compelling unit economics and market upside” for that specific area.
PayPal’s Paul Bances, in his chat with Empire host Jason Yanowitz on today’s episode, said his company is “in this.”
\n\n\n\n
“This is not a hobby for us. We have a very dedicated group of folks who really believe in the things that we’ve been building and it’s been wonderful to see that grow and finally be out,” he added.
\n\n\n\n
And honestly, the head-down approach may very well be working out.
\n\n\n\n
Earlier this month, PayPal stock received an upgrade from Susquehana. Analysts James Friedman and William Tang bumped the firm to positive from neutral with a $71 price target. The two didn’t really delve into the crypto side of the business but did note that the firm is now focused on “profitable growth.”
\n\n\n\n
Outside of that, PayPal’s stablecoin continues to rise, with PYUSD ranked seventh by market cap.
\n\n\n\n
CCData noted that, in June, the market cap rose 86.3% to top $499 million — a new all-time high — after it announced its integration into the Solana network.
\n\n\n\n
So maybe one of the reasons PayPal isn’t as vocal on the Wall Street side of things is because their crypto business is currently speaking for itself.
\n\n\n\n
Earlier this year (in case you missed it), the venture capital arm of PayPal also invested $6.5 million of PYUSD into digital transaction security firm Mesh. The investment is the first time since spring 2023 that PayPal invested in the crypto space.
\n\n\n\n
Despite the most recent earnings and investor presentations staying quiet about crypto, we could see some language in PayPal’s July 30 earnings.
\n\n\n\n
Especially so after hearing the bullish tone towards PYUSD presented by Bances on Empire.
\n\n\n\n
“No one is situated like we are and what we’re trying to do here, which is really laser-focused on the payment side obviously, there’s going to be activity on the crypto side of the house. And we love that. And we love what people are doing in the ecosystem and…want to support developers and building on this,” Bances said.
\n\n\n\n
And when you look back, former CEO Dan Schulman — who stepped down a few years ago — was pretty positive on crypto. He believed that it could be a general payment method in the next five or so years.
\n\n\n\n
The bullishness is clear, so I’ll be keeping an eye out at the end of the month to see what they have to tell Wall Street.

Q: Is PayPal a crypto company?
\n\n\n\n
Unequivocally.
\n\n\n\n
What’s interesting is whether they position themselves to promote that more. So far, as I noted above, they haven’t really. Though it’s clear that company insiders are feeling positive about this space.
\n\n\n\n
With the stock down roughly 18% over the past year, I wonder if they’ll lean into crypto more. Though it’s still tough from a regulatory standpoint. The firm has, outside of a disclosed subpoena on PYUSD last year, stayed out of the SEC’s path, unlike fellow TradFi-crypto firm Robinhood.
\n\n\n\n
Either way, there’s no doubting its quiet growth within crypto.
\n\n\n\n
— Katherine Ross
\n\n\n\n
Not only PayPal. It’s proof that all companies will one day be “crypto companies.”
\n\n\n\n
Microsoft became a crypto company when it started accepting bitcoin in its Xbox Store through a BitPay partnership in 2014.
\n\n\n\n
If Netflix were to accept bitcoin for subscriptions, it would also become a crypto company.
\n\n\n\n
PayPal was just early. And besides, when you’re storing billions of dollars worth of crypto on behalf of users, you’re not just a crypto company.

Welcome to the On the Margin Newsletter, brought to you by Ben Strack and Casey Wagner. Here’s what you’ll find in today’s edition:
\n\n\n\n
\n
How an eventful weekend impacted markets, and what it could mean for crypto.
\n\n\n\n
You’ve heard about SAB 121. But do custodians really need to do anything differently?
\n\n\n\n
An overview of this week’s economic calendar and what we are watching.
\n
\n\n\n\n
Trump’s link to crypto markets
\n\n\n\n
Last month’s presidential debate — despite shaking up election-related Polymarket odds — didn’t move crypto prices much. The June 27 event put on display an at-times-inarticulate incumbent Joe Biden and his challenger who lied consistently, Donald Trump.
But after a bullet grazed Trump’s ear during a Saturday evening rally in Pennsylvania, BTC’s price jumped upward. Not critically hurt, Trump could be in an even stronger position to win back the US presidency in November (if crypto prices are any indication.)
\n\n\n\n
BTC was above $63,500 at 1:30 pm ET Monday — up nearly 14% from a week ago. The asset’s price rose roughly 5% not long after the shooting.
\n\n\n\n
CK Zheng, co-founder of crypto hedge fund ZX Squared Capital, said he indeed sees a “mild positive correlation” between the likelihood Trump is elected and BTC price.
\n\n\n\n
This GOP-BTC link — a scenario that has picked up steam in only a matter of weeks — may be undeniable at this point. Here’s a quick reminder of why that might be:
The former president met with bitcoin mining executives on June 11 in what Marathon Digital leaders called a “monumental” meeting for the industry. Trump said in a Truth Social post he wants “all the remaining bitcoin to be made in the USA.”
\n\n\n\n
Joe Biden on May 31 vetoed a resolution that sought to invalidate what many considered to be an anti-crypto staff accounting bill floated by the SEC. The House, after a July 11 vote, was not able to override that veto.
\n\n\n\n
The GOP wants to end what it calls an “unAmerican crypto crackdown,” according to platform objectives published last week.
\n
\n\n\n\n
“Asset prices seem to be viewing a Trump victory as a favorable outcome due to his policy promises around tax cuts and less regulation,” Swan Bitcoin senior analyst Sam Callahan told Blockworks. “When you couple this with the Republican Party’s recent pro-bitcoin policy stance, it’s easy to understand why bitcoin is reacting positively to the increased likelihood of a second Trump presidency.”
\n\n\n\n
Despite Trump losing the 2020 election, his supporters playing a role in the January 2021 Capitol attack and his being convicted on 34 felony counts in May, the optimism behind him retaking the White House might have to do, in part, with what happened after the gunshots.
\n\n\n\n
Secret Service officials quickly surrounded Trump. Upon getting to his feet, the former president (with blood on his face) put his fist in the air and appeared to chant “fight” before being taken off stage.
\n\n\n\n
Elon Musk said in a Saturday X post: “Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt.” The Tesla CEO also re-upped a Trump-related post by Craft Ventures co-founder David Sacks that began with, “I know a hero when I see one.”
\n\n\n\n
Though Zheng acknowledged the connection between Trump’s odds to win and bitcoin’s price, he argued the US election is not a key long-term BTC market driver.
\n\n\n\n
“We believe the bitcoin market will be driven predominantly by the US debt burdens, the Fed interest rate policy, and the geopolitical uncertainty around the globe,” he said. “The Bitcoin halving process and the seasonality may also create short-term volatilities, which will be particularly bullish for bitcoin in Q4.”
\n\n\n\n
As for more possible political price catalysts, Trump reportedly still plans to speak at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville.
\n\n\n\n
“If Trump speaks about [bitcoin’s] potential as a treasury reserve asset, this could be a milestone moment for bitcoin adoption in the US,” Callahan said.
\n\n\n\n
There’s no doubt the industry will be watching.
\n\n\n\n

4.5%
\n\n\n\n
The percentage of bitcoin supply currently held by US spot BTC funds, according to Fineqia International analyst Matteo Greco’s Monday research note.
\n\n\n\n
Assets under management within the category, he added, amounted to more than $51 billion worth of BTC at the end of last week. The 10 funds in the category saw $1 billion of net inflows from July 8 to July 12 — bringing the total to $15.8 billion since they launched in January.
\n\n\n\n
What’s the deal with SAB 121?
\n\n\n\n
You may remember our past coverage of SEC staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 121 — the securities regulator’s controversial accounting guidance for crypto custodians — and the bipartisan effort in Congress to overturn the practice, which was ultimately unsuccessful.
\n\n\n\n
SEC Chair Gary Gensler himself seemed confused by the debate ignited by SAB 121.
\n\n\n\n
“It’s just a staff accounting bulletin,” he said during a December 2023 panel appearance.
\n\n\n\n
SABs represent, as their name suggests, the opinions of SEC staff. They are not rules and they do not establish standards for businesses to follow.
\n\n\n\n
Where the situation got sticky though, was in October 2023, when the Government Accountability Office released a report that deemed SAB 121 a rule under the Congressional Review Act.
\n\n\n\n
This classification is what enabled Congressional leaders to write Joint Resolution 109 (the bill that attempted to overturn SAB 121) in the first place.
\n\n\n\n
Even though the GAO says SAB 121 is a “rule,” the SEC does not think of it this way, the agency said in a December 2023 statement. It is still just guidance from the staff designed to reflect how the agency views crypto custody practices, but it is not enforceable.
\n\n\n\n
So it was not shocking to discover, as Bloomberg Law reported, that “several large banks” in 2023 consulted with the SEC and were told they did not actually have to follow SAB 121. The bill suggests that crypto custodians list custodied assets on their balance sheets as liabilities.
\n\n\n\n
In exchange, banks agreed to additional safeguarding steps to protect against risks associated with crypto, according to Bloomberg.
\n\n\n\n
We are certainly not advising custodians to go against SAB 121 in any way, but after the guidance stirred up a storm in Congress, we’re curious to see how, and if ever, it actually comes to fruition.

On Our Radar
\n\n\n\n
Welcome back to another Monday edition of On the Margin! We have a relatively quiet week ahead in terms of the economic calendar, with no major monthly reports (labor, inflation, etc.) due this week. The countdown is on to the next FOMC meeting, though, so you’ll want to keep an eye on the data we do receive in coming days.
\n\n\n\n
\n
On Tuesday we get June’s retail sales report. After May’s data came in below expectations (sales grew by 0.1% versus the anticipated 0.3%), a solid report is important this week. If consumers are pulling back, the odds of a soft landing may unfortunately decrease.
\n\n\n\n
The latest Fed Beige Book is due Wednesday afternoon. The report, published eight times a year, gives us a look into how economists, bankers and business owners are thinking about current economic conditions. If you’re seeking hints about the schedule for rate cuts, check that.
\n\n\n\n
Also from the central bank: On Thursday, the Philadelphia Fed drops its manufacturing survey. Economists are calling for a big increase after June’s figure dropped to 1.3 from the previous monthly reading of 4.5. Analysts expect July’s figure to come in at 2.9, which would be a solid indicator of sustained economic growth, especially as one of the first data points to be published for the current month.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell spoke at the Economic Club in Washington DC earlier this afternoon. As expected, the central bank chief was tight-lipped about the future of interest rates. “Our whole success depends on the public’s confidence that we are ethical,” he said when asked about his extreme “anti-leak” stance.
\n\n\n\n
All eyes are on Milwaukee today as the RNC kicks off. Former President Trump said Monday he will announce his VP pick today. On the short list are Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and JD Vance of Ohio, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, all of whom are reportedly on-site at the convention.
Stand With Crypto, Coinbase’s policy-focused nonprofit, has launched in Canada, the company announced Monday. They must think our Northern neighbors want some help finding crypto-friendly politicians, eh?

Updated July 15, 2024 at 4:44 pm ET: A previous version of this newsletter stated the 10 US BTC ETFs saw $1 billion of net inflows from June 8 to June 12. Clarified that inflows were seen from July 8 to July 12.

Former President Donald Trump has officially picked US Senator JD Vance (R-OH)as his vice presidential candidate in the upcoming presidential election.
\n\n\n\n
The announcement was made by Trump’s official Truth Social account during the Republican National Convention on Monday and comes just days after Trump survived an assassination attempt.
\n\n\n\n
“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator JD Vance of the Great State of Ohio,” Trump wrote.
\n\n\n\n
Trump, who in recent months has changed his stance on crypto, picked a running mate who’s also seen as crypto-friendly. Vance, an Ohio Republican, has floated a legislation draft focused on crypto, according to Politico last month.
\n\n\n\n
The legislation would seek to change how the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission approach crypto.
\n\n\n\n
Vance was also one of the lawmakers to pen a letter to the SEC over its mishandling of the DEBT Box case. The SEC, as ordered by the court, had to pay $1.8 million in legal fees after a judge ruled that the regulator had made “misleading” statements.
Ahead of the announcement, crypto prediction market Polymarket had JD Vance leading as Trump’s top potential VP pick. US residents can’t place bets on Polymarket, though the platform is still viewable.
\n\n\n\n
Crypto’s become a big topic in the presidential election so far this year — though not big enough to be mentioned at the presidential debate hosted at the end of last month. However, Trump has vocalized support for the industry and was the first campaign from a major party to integrate crypto donations.
\n\n\n\n
The Republican party even included crypto in its formal platform earlier this month.
\n\n\n\n
“Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and un-American crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency,” the platform said.

Howdy!
\n\n\n\n
What a weekend, huh? Saturday was a “two beers at the neighborhood bar and be generally sad about US politics” kind of night.
\n\n\n\n
Now it’s Monday, which is a “wonder what the price of air is” kind of morning. Bear with me:
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
SkyTrade’s air rights marketplace
\n\n\n\n
What if you could tokenize the air?
\n\n\n\n
The 500 feet above the highest point of a building generally belongs to the property owner. SkyTrade hopes to build a Solana-based marketplace that would let individuals or real estate companies sell these air rights and developers or drone operators buy or rent them.
\n\n\n\n
Property owners already trade their air rights, just not in a public-facing market. Billionaire hedge fund operator Ken Griffin reportedly paid up to $164 million for the airspace above St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan over the winter. The deal would allow Griffin to build a skyscraper to house Citadel on Park Avenue.
\n\n\n\n
Currently, SkyTrade lets individuals “claim” the airspace above their property with the promise of passive income earned from drone operators who fly in their airspace (this would only be for drones since airplanes, you would hope, are unlikely to fly that low). It’s currently possible to rent airspace on SkyTrade for $2 in 30-minute increments — though there aren’t very many properties currently live, and the site felt more like a proof-of-concept in my time spent browsing it.
\n\n\n\n
SkyTrade co-founder Jonathan Dockrell told me the platform is launching an auction house within a couple weeks where investors will be able to list and bid on air rights.
\n\n\n\n
Before founding SkyTrade, Dockrell was working at a delivery company and started thinking about the implications of drone delivery, he told me. He realized that while most people assume the government owns all airspace, property owners actually have the air rights to the 500 feet above themselves. Dockrell got thinking about how he could build a marketplace for this decentralized network of air rights.
\n\n\n\n
Dockrell and his co-founder wanted to build the marketplace on blockchain in part because it would let individuals own and control their tokenized air rights. They were initially working with a zero-knowledge rollup equivalent, Dockrell said, but switched to working with Solana after finding that it would be much cheaper. The air rights are tokenized on Solana as compressed NFTs — which was the standard built for Instagram during its erstwhile NFT experiment, I previously reported.
\n\n\n\n
SkyTrade received grant money from the Solana Foundation and Emergent Ventures. (As a disclosure, Blockworks co-founder Jason Yanowitz is an investor in SkyTrade.)
\n\n\n\n
Dockrell said SkyTrade will aim to court real estate companies who might buy and sell air rights as investment opportunities alongside individuals who want to earn passive income from drones flying above their property.
\n\n\n\n
On the business-to-business side, Dockrell gave the example that real estate investors might realize zoning laws are going to change and buy up cheap airspace that they can then sell to developers in the future.
\n\n\n\n
On the consumer side, SkyTrade developed an app for property owners to track drones that are flying on their property. SkyTrade will keep this data, and is working with drone companies on built-in ways for drone pilots to pay for their airspace usage. SkyTrade won’t get involved with any legal disputes between property owners and drone operators, Dockrell said.
\n\n\n\n
Dockrell said the startup’s biggest hurdle will be accumulating enough demand for its marketplace — a common concern among RWA and DePIN projects. Dockrell said the real estate development side of SkyTrade is the more dependable side to find it.
\n\n\n\n
“It’s like a call option is how we view the drone side of what we do. So if the industry expands, we expand. But real estate is always there,” Dockrell said.

\n\n\n\n
Real-world assets, or RWAs, predominantly consist of private credit.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
This dashboard from rwa.xyz tracks over $12 billion in onchain RWAs. Private credit — which revolves around non-bank lending — separated itself from other forms of RWAs in September 2022 and has widened its lead since. It’s seen notable growth over the past few months, alongside strong growth in tokenized US Treasury debt.
\n\n\n\n
The numbers are dwarfed, however, if you include stablecoins — which can be thought of as a kind of RWA insofar as they bring US dollars onchain.

The Pulse
\n\n\n\n
All the world is green as prices across the crypto space rally, with solana reaching a nearly two-week high. Some have attributed the recovery to the aftermath of an unsuccessful assassination attempt on pro-crypto US presidential candidate Donald Trump. Following the incident, solana’s price increased by approximately 4.75% in a single day, reaching over $153 at time of writing. The price has rebounded from a recent low of about $121.50 on July 5, which was attributed to the impact of Mt. Gox’s rehabilitation trustee making repayments to creditors. This represents a 26.85% increase over 10 days.
\n\n\n\n
Social sentiment seems to reflect a growing optimism. @HighCoinviction noted, “Things are starting to look exciting again. My gut tells me we are playing on a similar fractal to Q3’21 with shades of Q4’20 — in both cases the most explosive returns were just around the corner.” Similarly, @MoonOverlord commented, “This is so clearly the intermission to the bull market. The 2nd half is going to be batshit insane and about 5 people on Twitter are ready for it.”
\n\n\n\n
Others kept their celebrations to simple “W“s and “LFG“s. @SorayaIMX proclaimed, “Solana is crushing it!” while @queencryptooo cheered, “Lfg $SOL on top!”. However, my personal favorite response came from @0xHarmon, who quipped, “I can afford to eat again.”

Bitcoin funds in the US raked in more than $1 billion in assets last week, marking a weekly total the category has rarely hit in recent months.

It’s the segment’s highest weekly inflow amount since the period of June 3 through June 7, during which $1.8 billion entered the funds.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leads the BTC fund sector with $18.2 billion. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) — with nearly $30 billion in assets when it converted to an ETF and bleeding $18.6 billion since then — stands at about $15.7 billion.
\n\n\n\n
FBTC’s $358 million of net inflows from July 8 to July 12 was second only to IBIT’s $523 million. About $35 million of investor capital left GBTC.
Friday was the sixth straight day of net inflows into US spot bitcoin funds — the first such streak since a 19-day inflow streak snapped on June 7.
\n\n\n\n
Fineqia International analyst Matteo Greco noted in a Monday research note that the bitcoin ETFs — with about $51 billion in combined assets — now hold roughly 4.5% of the total BTC supply.
\n\n\n\n
Despite the latest outflows, he added, trading volumes remain below average (but rather high for July) — totaling nearly $7 billion for the week.

Break the cycle!
\n\n\n\n
Are we about to buck the precedent of a volatile four-year cycle?
\n\n\n\n
Framework Ventures co-founder Michael Anderson thinks so…if and when we get formal SEC approval for ETH ETFs.
\n\n\n\n
But he noted that the market structure began to change after Grayscale’s court win last August (which also pushed the SEC to approve the spot bitcoin ETFs).
\n\n\n\n
“In previous cycles, you had bitcoin as the primary asset that people would enter into the ecosystem with, and then they kind of move on to another thing, like Ethereum, or maybe, you know, one of the other kind of alt platforms,” Anderson said.
\n\n\n\n
“DeFi summer brought everybody into Ethereum, and then they went further and further out the risk curve. But at each one of those moments, they would sell the primary or the initial asset to move to the next level, and then do it again, to move to the next level. But I think what we’re seeing now, with the inflows in these ETFs, is there’s no kind of ‘sell when you move from bitcoin to ether,’ bitcoin to something else, or ether to something else.”
\n\n\n\n
With that in mind, ETF flows will “dampen volatility pretty drastically,” he added. That could be enough to break the market out of its current cyclical pattern because you don’t have “mass-selling” when folks run from one asset category to the next.
\n\n\n\n
There are some things that remain unchanged this cycle. The dueling narratives from potential “Ethereum killers,” for example.
\n\n\n\n
Last go around, it was Optimism and Arbitrum, Anderson said. Before that, it was Solana and Avalanche. The two emerging now aren’t necessarily ETH killers, but Berachain (which Framework has invested in) and Monad have caught Anderson’s eye this time.
\n\n\n\n
“Fewer and fewer people will be transacting on ETH mainnet going forward, is the general perspective, whether it’s an L2, L3 or an ecosystem where it’s completely abstracted away,” Anderson said. “[And that’s] kind of the ideal state where we’re directionally heading.”
\n\n\n\n
“Then, it’s not really about killing ETH. It’s more about adding more layers of abstraction above ETH, so you don’t even know that you’re touching it, would be the ultimate goal.”
\n\n\n\n
With more L2s, prices could go back to deflationary. “We’re kind of in that transition period of the applications haven’t really hit scale yet, where we now have the cheap transaction prices to support massive scale, but like, the curves haven’t intersected yet,” he added.
\n\n\n\n
Framework’s eyeing infrastructure plays right now, but that focus doesn’t mean that they’re not interested in apps either.
\n\n\n\n
Last week, as EthCC wound down, there was a lot of chatter about how the conference seemed very focused on infrastructure and apps were more or less forgotten.
\n\n\n\n
\n
Last year I left Eth CC enthused.
This year, I'm struggling to identify a common theme from the conference.
The event feels fragmented across many redundant, partially filled side events.
But while apps might not be a conference topic, it doesn’t mean it’s getting ignored by VC. Anderson’s firm is currently intrigued by “games and weird consumer applications,” like Puffpaw’s vape-to-earn system for helping folks to quit vaping on Berachain.
\n\n\n\n
“Our perspective is that the first applications to hit this level of steel that the infrastructure is now supporting are games,” he said.
\n\n\n\n
At the end of the day though, infra will also remain top of mind for Anderson too. “We’re always going to need bigger, faster, cheaper blockchains,” he said.
\n\n\n\n
Perhaps we won’t see an ETH killer this go-around, but we sure are witnessing an extremely interesting cycle play out in real-time.

A smallish Polymarket pool puts the odds of an ETH ETF tradingby July 26 at 83%.
\n\n\n\n
Uniswap and Tether are still the no. 1 Ethereum apps by fee spend, with 2,010 ETH ($6.7 million) and 838 ETH ($2.8 million) burned in the past 30 days.
\n\n\n\n
Telegram trading bots BananaGun and Maestro are third and fourth, each burning over 400 ETH ($1.33 million).
\n\n\n\n
Memecoin MOG has entered CoinGecko’s top-100 and is currently its best performer, surging 52% in the last week.
\n\n\n\n
BTC and ETH are both up 4.5% over the past day, to $62,570 and $3,340.

\n\n\n\n
Summertime sadness
\n\n\n\n
Ethereum is in the midst of a vibecession.
\n\n\n\n
At least, that’s going by the Twitter metric, which is notoriously fickle.
\n\n\n\n
Following EthCC in Brussels last week, questions swirled around whether the ecosystem was really on track to mass adoption.
\n\n\n\n
Were there enough interesting crypto apps in the pipeline to justify all the venture funding into infrastructure?
\n\n\n\n
It’s not exactly a new problem for the crypto space. Outside of a few extreme periods, such as the brief inscriptions spam that crippled a string of EVM chains last year or the legendary CryptoKitties congestion, there have always been more blockchains than users can actually use.
\n\n\n\n
Wallets, lending protocols, decentralized exchanges and prediction markets are all apps. And, as far as crypto goes, apps within all those categories are about as popular as can be with the folks who are actually here.
\n\n\n\n
To be clear, Solana — the last line of defense for monolithic blockchain design — has its own brand of congestion issues.
\n\n\n\n
But it’s hard to argue that there isn’t some degree of layer-2 fatigue out there when it comes to Ethereum.
\n\n\n\nEach bubble is the launch of a different layer-2. The bigger and brighter the bubble, the larger the current TVL.\n\n\n\n
Over the past year, at least 19 layer-2 Ethereum networks have launched, per DeFiLlama data. Each one has its own brand of apps — usually at least one DEX and a lending protocol — leading to fragmentation of users and liquidity across the different chains.
\n\n\n\n
“Vibecession” — a term coined by financial commentator Kyla Scanlon — refers to the phenomenon of widespread negative sentiment about the economy, despite things being pretty okay, and even going up.
\n\n\n\n
In the same sense, Ethereum’s vibecession probably isn’t actually indicative of the actual health of the underlying ecosystem.
\n\n\n\n
But it is possible to point to sadness in the data: When the market bottomed out in November 2022 following the FTX debacle, there were as many as 35,200 Twitter accounts posting about Ethereum every day, based on a 30-day average.
\n\n\n\n
Now, there are only 6,600 — an 80% drop.
\n\n\n\nThe purple band shows the number of Twitter accounts posting about Ethereum — and it’s getting very thin.\n\n\n\n
Solana saw a boost following FTX, too, probably on account of the ecosystem’s connection to Sam Bankman-Fried, and a subsequent fall.
\n\n\n\n
But since the bitcoin bull market really kicked off last October, the number of Twitter accounts posting about Solana has exploded from under 700 to almost 3,000 currently.
\n\n\n\n
Perhaps the most telling of all is Ethereum’s “NVTweet Ratio.” Data provider The Tie developed the metric to compare a cryptocurrency’s social media activity to its market cap: How many tweets does each project have per $1 million in market cap?
\n\n\n\n
A lower NVTweet Ratio means more tweets per $1 million market cap — correlating social media chatter to high valuations.
\n\n\n\nEthereum’s NVTweet ratio is nearly 50% higher than even bitcoin’s.\n\n\n\n
It turns out that Ethereum’s NVTweet Ratio has more than tripled since December — when markets were betting hard that the SEC would finally approve spot bitcoin ETFs.
\n\n\n\n
That means that ether’s market cap is growing faster than its Twitter mentions, which could reflect less retail involvement in Ethereum markets, according to The Tie.
\n\n\n\n
“An increasing NVTweet™ Ratio could suggest that a particular coin’s market is becoming increasingly driven by institutional trading.”
\n\n\n\n
And there’s your vibecession.

Q: What does bitcoin going up after Trump’s attempted assassination say?
\n\n\n\n
I’ve seen some analysts note that the price action in bitcoin — which jumped to $62,000 after the assassination attempt — is partly driven by another week of impressive ETF flows.
\n\n\n\n
All told, it’s hard to separate how much could be the ‘safe haven’ play versus the ETF play.
\n\n\n\n
Either way, the overall market’s been in a weird place. But this could give the environment an unexpected catalyst, which pushes bitcoin up further and gets it out of the sideways rut it was in for months.
\n\n\n\n
The other thing is that the stock market, for example, loves certainty. I think it’s fair to say that’s been imprinted on bitcoin at this point, too. The attempt on Trump’s life has completely derailed the unknowns around Biden’s re-election bid, and — according to some rumors — even secured his place as a Democratic candidate.
\n\n\n\n
There’s a lot of speculation out there, and it’s not clear if bitcoin is really being treated as a safe haven asset or if this is just the perfect storm that traders have been waiting for.
\n\n\n\n
— Katherine Ross
\n\n\n\n
The general consensus right now is that crypto could broadly do well under a second Trump term.
\n\n\n\n
But price action right now is very likely just noise.
\n\n\n\n
For the longest time, bitcoin has been tipped as a hedge against global instability. A flight to the safety of uncensorable hard money that can’t be confiscated by totalitarian regimes, idealistically, at least.
\n\n\n\n
Except that hasn’t always been the case. Bitcoin crashed alongside the stock market during the worst of COVID, and more recently, tanked over 10% when Iran attacked Israel in April.
\n\n\n\n
Odds for Trump to win the election are rising, and if anything, bitcoin going up after he survived suggests crypto markets reckon the world will be safer and more stable if he’s re-elected, at least for the average crypto investor.
\n\n\n\n
Either that, or this was the “buy the rumor” part of the “sell the news” arc. Classic.

A former executive at Charles Schwab has joined bitcoin financial services firm Onramp as president of its managed wealth division.
\n\n\n\n
Rich Kerr spent the past 31 years at the traditional finance giant, he told Blockworks. He was most recently Charles Schwab’s managing director of income and wealth solutions, according to his LinkedIn profile.
\n\n\n\n
He also worked as director of Schwab Wealth Advisory and helped lead the giant’s client services and support unit.
\n\n\n\n
“His vast experience and proven track record in wealth management align perfectly with our mission to support advisers and their clients with bitcoin financial services,” Onramp CEO Michael Tanguma said in a statement.
\n\n\n\n
Also naming a new president (and CEO) this week was Canada-based investment firm Cypherpunk Holdings.
Another C-suite addition came from bitcoin miner Ionic Digital, which on Thursday appointed John Penver as its chief financial officer. Penver was previously the CFO of TSS, Inc.
\n\n\n\n
The Austin-based company seeks to go public, it noted in a news release.
\n\n\n\n
“Having worked in data centers for nearly 20 years, I am excited to combine my expertise in technology infrastructure and finance to ensure Ionic Digital’s corporate strategy and financials are aligned on the same level,” Penver said in a statement. “I look forward to working with the team to foster innovation and unlock Ionic Digital’s potential to be a leading publicly-traded bitcoin mining company.”

A little under a hundred million dollars was raised by the funding rounds mentioned in this week’s roundup.
\n\n\n\n
The biggest round came from blockchain payment network Partior, which raised $60 million in a Series B. The blockchain payment network’s round was led by Peak XV Partners and also saw contributions from Jump Trading Group and Valor Capital Group.
\n\n\n\n
The network is a joint venture between founding shareholders JPMorgan and Temasek — which both participated in this round as a previous investor — as well as DBS. Standard Chartered is also part of the joint venture, and an investor in this round.
“Improving liquidity management for both corporate and financial institutions is imperative in a world where many companies operate ‘round the clock globally,” the company said in a press release. Standard Chartered, JPMorgan and DBS all use Partior.
\n\n\n\n
“This new round of funding will enable the advancement of new capabilities like Intraday FX swaps, Cross-currency repos, Programmable Enterprise Liquidity Management, and Just-in-Time multi-bank payments. The investment will significantly support Partior’s international network growth and the integration of additional currencies,” the release continued. Right now, Partior supports USD, SGD and EUR.
\n\n\n\n
Speaking of traditional financial players, let’s take a look at a pre-seed round from Tread.Fi.
The crypto-native algorithmic trading infrastructure company is helmed by former Morgan Stanley VP of quantitative research, David Jeong.
\n\n\n\n
Earlier this week, the firm announced a $3.5 million pre-seed investment round led by New Form Capital. Aquanow and Varys Capital also participated in the round.
\n\n\n\n
Tread.fi, which includes portfolio management tools and various features such as advanced execution algorithms, also allows for its clients to run the trading engine in-house privately, per a press release.
\n\n\n\n
“This layer of separation gives clients a unique level of privacy and ownership over their trading and is a unique advantage for routing orders to crypto-native exchanges, which often have open access that allows all users to view trading activity,” the firm said.
\n\n\n\n
Jeong said that his firm aims to “modernize institutional digital asset trading.”
\n\n\n\n
Other notable raises:
\n\n\n\n
\n
Blast-based token distribution protocol ZAP announced a $15 million raise. The round was led by Rarestone, Cypher Capital and Sharding Capital.
\n\n\n\n
Crypto startup Rome Protocol raised $9 million to bring modular services on Solana to the Ethereum network.*
\n\n\n\n
DeFi fixed-rate lending protocol Term Finance announced it raised $5.5 million. The round was led by Electric Capital.
\n
\n\n\n\n
* Blockworks co-founder Jason Yanowitzand Empire podcast host Santiago Santos participated in the round.

Ethereum layer-2 rollups Arbitrum and Optimism have seen an uptick in their daily transactions over the past few months. Ethereum, meanwhile, is seeing a slight downtrend.
\n\n\n\n
Arbitrum and Optimism are optimistic rollups designed to reduce the cost of transactions for the use of Ethereum dapps.
\n\n\n\n
Both platforms have seen an uptick in daily active users recently, data compiled by Blockworks Research shows, with Optimism recently overtaking Arbitrum for daily active addresses and transactions per day.
\n\n\n\n

Martin Lee, data journalist at Nansen, told Blockworks that as time goes by, these ecosystems are becoming more developed — which may be one of the reasons as to why they are seeing a spike in active users and transactions.
\n\n\n\n
”DeFi protocols GMX for example is one of the key protocols driving Arbitrum’s active users and transactions,” Lee said. “Sushiswap’s activity on Arbitrum is seeing an increase as well due to the recent spike and revival of MAGIC,” a gaming-related token.
\n\n\n\n
The number of transactions on Arbitrum has been steadily increasing since its Nitro upgrade in August, information on blockchain analytics platform Nansen shows.
\n\n\n\n
This upgrade, which was completed prior to the Ethereum Merge, increased Arbitrum’s throughput capacity by more than 7-to-10 times that of the Ethereum mainnet — hastening transaction speeds and reducing costs and requirements to run nodes.
\n\n\n\n
These improvements may also be the reason why many new projects have decided to launch on Arbitrum.
\n\n\n\n
Some of the most recent projects that have been onboarded to the network include: Bebop DEX, which specializes in one-to-many and many-to-one token trading; automated money flow provider Cask Protocol; on chain-asset management platform Factor; and NFT platform OpenSea.
\n\n\n\n
In the case of Optimism, Lee says that, “we’re seeing a similar trend where DeFi protocols are one of the key drivers of adoption of the chain — Perpetual Protocol, Velodrome, Pika Protocol. Another key driver for both chains is Galxe, the on-chain identity and credentials project.”
\n\n\n\n
The ecosystems also have the two highest total value locked (TVL) across all layer-2 networks, with Arbitrum having a TVL of $2.34 billion, making up over 52% of the entire market share. Optimism has a TVL of $1.27 billion, totaling almost 30% of the entire market share, according to L2beat data.
\n\n\n\n
Arbitrum does not yet have its own governance token, but Optimism’s OP token has posted double-digit gains since the start of 2023.
