At the heart of Hayes’s rise thesis are the credit creation processes of central banks and commercial banks. Hayes specifically noted that the Artificial Intelligence (AI) competition between the US and China requires a massive expenditure of capital (CapEx).

Fees across DeFi’s largest lending protocols and decentralized exchanges fell by as much as much as 65%, a broad contraction that lending and credit-market operators attribute to leverage unwinding after early June’s selloff rather than a structural break in onchain credit.

The Supreme Court just pulled the tariff lever out of the president’s hands. In a 6-3 ruling on Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, the court determined that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, known as IEEPA, does not grant the president authority to impose tariffs. The decision, handed down on February 20, 2026, invalidated billions of dollars in tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, China, and other countries. It also potentially unlocked $175 billion in refunds for US importers who paid those duties. What the ruling actually says IEEPA has long been one of the most expansive tools in the…
