Eric Trump: ‘If banks don’t watch what’s coming, they’ll be extinct in ten years’
“The modern financial system is broken, it’s slow, it’s expensive,” Eric Trump told CNBC in the UAE.

Ethena Labs Integrates USDe into TON and Telegram Ecosystem
The partnership spans 3 major product lines, rolled out over May:
1. An integration into all major non-custodial TON wallets, such as TON Space, Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet
2. An integration into Wallet in Telegram, the custodial crypto wallet in Telegram
3. Integration into major TON DeFi applications, where Ethena will help to power trading, savings, and lending use cases
Eligible holders of Ton Staked USDe (tsUSDe) on the non-custodial wallets will get an additional 10% APY paid weekly in TON on top of native sUSDe rewards. The boost will apply to up to 10,000 tsUSDe per TON user.
Starting in May, Telegram Wallet will directly integrate Ethena, making Ethena rewards directly accessible to all users of Wallet. Ethena will power a USDT Earn vault, allowing users to stake USDT, but earn Ethena rates simultaneously. This wll make USDe the the only other dollar asset available in the wallet aside from Tether USDT on TON.
