$SEI got native USDC through Circle's CCTP v2. This matters more than most people realize. Before this, @SeiNetwork users had to deal with bridged USDC versions (slower, more expensive & annoying for daily use) > Stablecoin volume on $SEI has grown roughly 10x recently > Stablecoin mcap is $243M That kind of traction gets Circle's attention, especially when they're already an investor through @circle What this really enables is proper DeFi infra. Projects like @SailorFi @dragonswap_dex @YeiFinance can now build with confidence. Native USDC means… ✅ Instant settlements ✅ Lower transaction costs ✅ Better composability with other protocols ✅ Institutional grade stablecoin access @SeiNetwork’ parallel execution already made it fast. Now it has the stablecoin infra to match. A good combination for both retail + institutional users.

This whole follower count obsession is backwards thinking. I've watched KOLs with 50-80K followers get ignored by their own community while accounts with 3K followers move markets with a single tweet. The difference isn't numbers - it's trust. You can spot the bought followers easily. High follower count + high engagement, generic comments that don't match the content. These accounts may get brand deals based on vanity metrics but ZERO real influence. The real test isn't how many people follow you. It's whether anyone actually reads when you write. I know creators who've been here six months retweeting everything, farming impressions with T4 project shills. Sure, they hit 30-40K views per tweet. But ask them for an original thought on market structure or protocol design & you get silence. Meanwhile, the builders & researchers with smaller followings are the ones projects actually consult for feedback. They're in the group chats where real decisions get made. Elon's recent bot cleanup was brutal but necessary. Watching follower counts drop 30-50% overnight (I myself saw some accounts I had doubt on) exposed how fake this whole ecosystem had become. Quality projects & quality agencies can smell artificial engagement from miles away. They'd rather work with someone who has 3000 real followers than 50K fake ones. Because when you're spending marketing budget, you want actual humans seeing your content. The irony is that chasing follower count actually hurts your credibility with the people who matter most. Real recognizes real & fake followers don't fool anyone worth impressing. Build something worth following instead of following the crowd. Here are my favorite 30 creators who actually bring value to this space (Plus they don’t fight for mindshare) Sub 5k: @bullish_bunt @sakshimiishra @CipherResearchx 5-10k: @0xCheeezzyyyy @kenodnb @RubiksWeb3hub @Jonasoeth 10-25k: @Moomsxxx @ahboyash @francescoweb3 25-50k: @eli5_defi @0xTindorr @arndxt_xo @CryptoKoryo @zerokn0wledge_ @Mars_DeFi @poopmandefi 50-100k: @hmalviya9 @splinter0n @stacy_muur @Defi_Warhol @TheDeFiPlug @0xAndrewMoh @the_smart_ape @defi_mago 100k+: @Axel_bitblaze69 @DefiIgnas @TheDeFinvestor @thedefiedge @DeFiMinty

So @BeamableNetwork caught my attention for a simple reason. They're solving a real problem in gaming. Game developers waste 30-50% of their time managing servers. Backend costs hit 6 figures fast. When games scale, everything breaks. Let me explain what they're building🧵

Did you know? @Terminal_fi crossed $127M TVL in pre-deposits. Here’s why I decided to put in my $USDe into it… Terminal is building the liquidity layer for institutional DeFi on @convergeonchain (Ethena + Securitize's chain). Think of it as a DEX that aims to trade yield bearing assets + YBS on an institutional scale. @pendle_fi have already contributed 76% of their TVL. Here’s how it makes it interesting👇 $USDe → becomes tUSDe (60x Roots, 50x Sats points) $ETH → becomes tETH (30x Roots, 3x EtherFi points) $BTC → becomes tBTC (15x Roots) It's infra for the TradFi to access DeFi yields compliantly. BlackRock backing through Securitize, Ethena providing the yield layer, Pendle tokenizing the rates. The pieces align well together.

Trump signed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins. Here's what it actually does. > Stablecoin issuers must hold 100% reserves (real dollars or US bonds) > Monthly transparency reports required > US financial institutions can now officially issue dollar stablecoins What changes? 1/ Banking People earning 0.1% in savings accounts can get 5-10% through DeFi with the same dollars. This creates pressure on banks, especially smaller ones dependent on personal deposits. 2/ Payments International transfers that took days & cost $50 can now happen instantly for pennies. Card payment fees (usually 3%) face real competition. 3/ Programmable money Transactions can now have conditions built in. Like automatic escrow or scheduled payments without intermediaries. Concerns to watch👇 > USDC currently dominates the market (Single point of failure risk) > Countries slow to adopt can see currency devaluation > Small banks might struggle as deposits move to higher yields This is infra change. The TradFi system's inefficiencies (multiple intermediaries, high fees, slow settlements) now have legal competition. You can learn more deeply about the ‘GENIUS ACT’ from this video.

Remember spending hours of research for finding the best DeFi yield and still struggling to execute? That complexity is exactly what @Infinit_Labs solves. @bullish_bunt explains it perfectly in this video. How Infinit can turn your DeFi prompts into instant strategies. Here’s what's coming with V2: An entire economy where your strategies become products others can use 👇 V1: AI helps YOU find yields + better research V2: Your strategies help EVERYONE earn (and you get paid) Watch how this shift from personal assistant to DeFi marketplace by @Infinit_Labs will change everything.

Lately @SeiNetwork has been quietly shipping while everyone's watching the major alts. Let me show you what's actually happening with this L1. The data will surprise you.🧵

$SYRUP is a sleeping giant. It is a leader in the private credit niche. > TVL has crossed $3B > FDV at 497M > Nearing $1B issuance & 1B in active loans > Price is still adjusting > Strong PMF A project with real revenue w buy back + low valuation like $SYRUP is very rare.

For those who doesn’t know👇 @Mira_Network’ Verify is a fact checking tool that runs content through multiple AI models to spot false information. > When models disagree it shows ‘Wrong’ & it shows "No Consensus" instead of guessing > Transparency about uncertainty is built into the design > Multiple verification models cross check each claim If AIs can't agree on something, that disagreement itself is valuable information for users. Better to know when something's uncertain than get a confident wrong answer. TGE might be end of July. Market conditions align well too. Anyone building apps that need fact checking should take a look @Mira_Network

Did you know? @ethena_labs’ USDe just flipped $DAI to become the 3rd largest stablecoin. USDe supply is ATH, while $ENA is still down ~65% from its ATH. $ENA rallied 40% in the last 7 days while crypto bounced broadly. Also remember fee switch has not been activated yet. Currently: Protocol fees → Treasury After fee switch activation: Protocol fees → sENA holders
