As Trump prepares to flood the system with credit to prop up defense production, Arthur argues that the buyers of this new wave of debt won’t be boomers or Wall Street, it’ll be stablecoin issuers like Tether, quietly buying up Treasury bills with crypto inflows. To understand this mess, you need to understand where the new money is coming from. According to Arthur, it’s not about GDP, taxes. Trump is copying China’s model where the state guarantees…

As ETH celebrates its 10th anniversary, it brings into focus everything that the project has accomplished — enabling DeFi, smart contracts, and sprouting a vibrant ecosystem of dApps built on privacy. Summary Despite Ethereum’s success in DeFi and dApps, protecting sensitive personal data remains a major unresolved issue. One area where this challenge is clear is POAPs (Proof of Attendance Protocols), NFTs often used to verify event attendance. POAPs create privacy risks by publicly linking wallets to specific times and locations, exposing users’ real-world presence. POAPrivacy, unveiled at ETHGlobal Cannes, uses stealth addresses to protect attendance data and prevent on-chain…
