Adam Livingston has drawn attention to a contrast in modern investing: buyers accept high valuations for companies whose expected profits sit years ahead, yet some reject Bitcoin since its future is uncertain. Modern investing is incredible.People will pay 71x earnings for a food delivery app because maybe profits will grow.Then refuse to buy Bitcoin because “the future is uncertain.” — Adam Livingston (@AdamBLiv) June 15, 2026 In a post on X, Livingston referred to investors paying 71 times earnings for a food delivery application on the expectation that profits may expand. He then compared that approach with reluctance to own…

Could investors staking more Ethereum be tightening market liquidity? On-chain data suggests it could. In theory, investors lock more $ETH in staking, which shrinks the amount of liquid $ETH available to trade. With fewer coins circulating, market liquidity naturally becomes tighter. That means even relatively small buying or selling pressure can have a bigger impact on price. From a staking perspective, this trend already appears to be playing out. As the chart below shows, Ethereum’s total staked supply has climbed to a new all-time high of 41.4 million $ETH, representing roughly 34% of the total $ETH supply. More notably, over…

Japan’s latest push to encourage pension funds to invest more at home has sparked concerns. Observers worry that a major shift in global capital could hit not just U.S. stocks but also the crypto market. The discussion began after Japan’s finance minister urged households and large pension funds to increase investments in domestic assets to support the yen. The yen is trading near 40-year lows against the U.S. dollar. According to one analyst, if that leads to money flowing out of overseas markets, Bitcoin and altcoins could be caught in the crossfire. Scenario 1: A Large Repatriation Sparks a Crypto…

Indian banks are increasingly integrating blockchain into core banking operations to speed up payments, trade finance, and securities settlement while the country continues to keep cryptocurrencies at arm’s length. Instead of building around public crypto networks, lenders have largely focused on permissioned blockchain networks developed for regulated financial services. The shift comes as banks gain practical experience from the RBI’s Digital Rupee pilot and expand the use of distributed ledger technology across more financial services. While blockchain is finding wider acceptance inside the banking system, policymakers continue to take a cautious approach to cryptocurrencies because of concerns over financial stability…

Bitcoin price traded above $66,500 on Monday after recovering nearly 4% over the previous week. The rebound followed Sunday’s report that the United States and Iran had reached a preliminary peace deal, which lifted risk appetite across crypto markets.

A group of six Ethereum researchers and developers, including Ethereum Foundation’s Justin Drake, has proposed changing the network’s issuance policy to cut validator rewards more sharply as the proportion of staked $ETH rises. The draft, called the Tapered Issuance Burn and currently being assigned the provisional number EIP-8363, would burn an increasing fraction of validators’ consensus rewards as the amount of staked $ETH approaches a fixed threshold of 60.25 million $ETH (around 50% of the current $ETH supply), at which point the deduction hits 100%. The changes would phase in over 18 months. Tapered Issuance Burn Ethereum Improvement Proposal. Source:…

Speaking in a recent interview, Chesky revealed he has been quietly observing the RWA space, noting that while much of the public conversation is dominated by noise, meaningful structural changes are taking place beneath the surface. Chesky’s Perspective on RWA and Liquidity Chesky described RWA tokenization as a mechanism that is making ownership more liquid, but he emphasized that the industry is still in its infancy. He cautioned…
