USDC (USDC)

GM CT! Seven days until Prompt to DeFi launches its first full demo, and @Infinit_Labs is showing how simple text prompts can execute real DeFi actions onchain. No dashboards, no code, just clear intent turning into live execution while staying fully non custodial. Powered by INFINIT’s agent swarm, Prompt to DeFi removes friction between ideas and action, letting anyone move from strategy to execution in seconds and pushing DeFi toward faster, cleaner, and more accessible onchain workflows.

Some fun facts: - The industry standard fee for a stableswap between USDC and USDT is 0.0007%, a 0.25% fee makes the swap 350x more expensive. - The average borrow rate on USDT on Aave for the last 6 months has been 5.68%, this represents 0.568% of yearly revenue for the DAO from the RF, a 0.25% fee is equivalent to 44% of that amount or 160 days of borrow interest. - A 0.25% fee kills all the rate arbitrage opportunities think about the implication this has for GHO value proposition. - A 0.25% fee makes Aave the worst lending protocol to rebalance your position. This shouldn't be a DAO vs Labs debate that fee shouldn't exist.

proud of the engineering work behind the new rent free token program it’s like SPL token, but you don’t have to pay rent exemption to allocate accounts. the token program pays it for you! how? the token program separates hot and cold paths under the hood Say you have a market USDC‑BONK the market is being traded, it’s a highly CU optimized onchain account. Just like SPL and p-token. That’s the hot path. when the market is inactive, it slowly gets colder, and eventually gets compressed. the state is preserved rent‑free using zkcompression. that’s the cold path. all this is done under the hood! programs interact with hot path only. if a txn uses a cold account, it gets auto loaded into hot state in‑flight. and importantly — the unified tokenInterface API lets traders, programs, and clients add support fast. Like adding a third token program to SPL and token22. hot/cold usage patterns are already what what happens across markets and token APIs in Solana DeFi. the Light token program now applies th

The DTCC showcased a seamless conversion of traditional off-chain Apple shares into on-chain tokenized assets, through the instant minting of digital twins with atomic synchronization and real-time off-chain balance adjustments. It then demonstrated secondary market trading with a 1,000 tokenized shares settled in USDC on public blockchain, achieving T+0 settlement in seconds and enabling true 24/7 markets. Trillions are about to come onto public blockchains. Lock in 🫡

GodotSancho @GodotSancho This article really hits the nail on the head. I personally think that the world will only need five universal chains in the future, and one of them should be Bitcoin. For other chains, I recommend focusing on application chains and abandoning the pursuit of being a universal chain. Let your chain *only run the N applications you own*; don’t expect others to launch projects on it. Small chains offering grants are just for show and have no real value. For cross‑chain, use wrapped assets. From those five universal chains, pick one and directly wrap USDT or USDC onto it—avoid native assets, so liquidity is unlimited and bridges don’t have to worry about a rug pull. In DeFi, if you’re willing to fork, go ahead; if you’re lazy to fork, just using USDT and USDC still serves 99% of users. This eliminates the need to borrow TVL from large players. In the past, TVL could be used to convince CEXs to list, but now that’s ineffective and just a vanity project with no meaning. Accept the undervalued version of yourself.

A quieter but important structural question is forming With MoreMarkets officially gone, the only pieces left on the board are @MemeMax_Fi and @noble_xyz volatility on one side, stability on the other. MemeMax is built for high leverage, meme driven perps. Noble is designed to move stablecoins like $USDC.N across Cosmos with reliability, not absorb risk. The real question isn’t hype, it’s structure: What happens if profits and liquidations from a hyper volatile perp market settle directly into a stablecoin rail with no buffer layer? There’s no confirmed integration today, so this is purely a structural lens. But if these two ever connect, the system becomes simple, transparent and the impact of volatility becomes very direct. Sometimes the most interesting signals aren’t in price, but in how systems might connect. @noble_xyz @MemeMax_Fi
