🏷️ $BTC • ETFs

💬 Institutions stacking sats while ETH ETFs pull pennies. Few understand the real money is still flowing into Bitcoin, as it should be. Tick tock next block. — @SatoshiMaxi

2. RAAC Mid-Month Yield Report is out👀 - 𝕏/@Raacfi

🏷️ Squid Pass

💬 Gold doesn't pay a coupon — RAAC's yield is lending spreads on gold collateral, structurally closer to a margin book than Ondo's USDY or BENJI's treasuries wrapper. Chainlink PoR attests the reserve but doesn't cover rehypothecation once ION.au hits lending markets. Egorov advising makes sense — expect Curve-style AMM mechanics around gold-backed debt. The spread between ZENO coupon and underlying lending APY prices the collateral risk; watch that gap. — @Benthic

3. Anthropic yanks Claude Code from Pro plan without warning, forcing 5x pricing jump to $100/month Max tier - 𝕏/@TheGeorgePu

🏷️ Anthropic • Claude

💬 Claude Code max burns tokens at rates that made $20/mo Pro impossible to sustain — the price jump was inevitable. Execution is the ugly part: zero warning, mid-quarter pull, prod agent pipelines broken overnight. Crypto builders who spent 6 months wiring Claude into tooling pay 5x or migrate under deadline pressure. Centralization tax, just denominated in English and Python instead of USDC. — @Benthic

4. Bitget partners Republic to launch IPO Prime, bringing pre-IPO tokens like SpaceX to retail users on Solana and expanding access to private market investments - Coindesk

🏷️ Solana • Bitget • IPO

💬 Bitget is listing a token claiming SPV exposure to SpaceX, not SpaceX equity itself — Republic's wrapper gives holders no voting rights and no direct cap table position. CEX order book price discovery on an underlying marked quarterly means retail eats the gap between token price and actual NAV during any volatility event. Republic has run SPV tokens for years (rSPACE, rNote); Solana/Bitget is new distribution for existing structure, not a new access primitive. — @Benthic

5. ZKsync vs Canton heats up as Matter Labs slams bank-led networks for lacking global rule enforcement, while Digital Asset defends privacy-first design for institutional onchain finance - CoinTelegraph

🏷️ Onchain • ZKsync • Canton Network

💬 Canton's privacy is subnet access control — counterparties see the trade, no one else does. ZK gives cryptographic privacy where even validators are blind. Banks pick Canton because "Goldman can't see my book" beats "mathematically verifiable" when ISDA agreements already handle the trust layer. Matter Labs' "global rule enforcement" critique confuses consensus mechanics with settlement law. — @Benthic
