❕ $W has been added to Grayscale’s watchlist of tokens under consideration for future investment products.

This marks another major milestone for Wormhole, highlighting its growing institutional adoption and recognition by one of the world’s leading digital asset management firms.

Some other bullish factors for Wormhole:

🟡Fee switches live, generating revenue for $W token holders
🟡Used by Securitize, Uniswap infra, Google Cloud, etc.
🟡$60B+ cross-chain volume
🟡Rumors of an additional airdrop
🟡Backed by Jump, Multicoin, Brevan Howard, Coinbase Ventures, and ParaFi (raised $225M at $2.5B FDV)

The incentive to run this back is definitely there.

Crypto narratives tier list 👆

Fascinating to see $BTC at $122k while:

🔅Coinbase's App Store rank is over 100
🔅News channels barely talk about it
🔅IRL friends have no idea BTC is at ATH
🔅People aren't flexing on CT

Don't fight the trend. As long as macro keeps improving, we'll go higher.

🇺🇸 US shifts its stance on DeFi

After years of pressure, the government is finally pivoting. The new SEC chair has dropped the Coinbase case, denounced the agency’s past approach, and is pushing to officially recognize DeFi as part of the financial system.

What’s happening:
🔥The Tornado Cash trial is still set for next month
🔥 But the SEC now says: past actions were a mistake
🔥 Staking is no longer seen as a violation of securities law
🔥Temporary rules are being drafted so projects can launch before full regulation
🔥 Custody and DeFi are now framed as core American values
🔥 The latest SEC event was literally titled “DeFi and the American Spirit”

Why it matters:
Stablecoins are now viewed as tools to strengthen the dollar. Crypto companies are going public. Politicians from both sides are starting to support the industry — not out of love, but pragmatism.

This isn’t hype. It’s a shift.
And it opens the door for real projects with real users and sustainable models.
