Hashed CEO: “To be honest, having ridden every rollercoaster in crypto since 2015, this is the first bear market that doesn't genuinely scare me. Sure, looking at my portfolio still stings—that's the fate of any bear market. But this time is fundamentally different.
In every previous bear market, there was an existential dread that this technology and market could completely disappear. The threat felt real—governments might unite to ban crypto assets entirely, or some new global ledger technology could emerge to replace blockchain altogether.
But regardless of daily price swings, this bear market carries none of those fundamental concerns. Global regulation is evolving to foster growth alongside the industry rather than suppress it. More and more institutional investors are recognizing the value of this asset class. The fact that IBIT represents the largest position in Harvard's endowment portfolio is highly symbolic. Stablecoin metrics are breaking new records every month.
By 2030, stablecoin issuance will have grown dozens of times from today's levels. Billions of people worldwide will gain exposure to digital assets not through exchanges, but through everyday fintech and big tech applications. Everything is being tokenized. The prosperity of the on-chain ecosystem is already predetermined.
Cycles are temporary, but fundamentals are advancing irreversibly. Let's have patience and wait just a bit longer. It won't take long for prices to rebound and catch up with these fundamentals.”

Key Takeaways from Arthur Hayes’ New Essay “Snow Forecast”
• Bitcoin is a barometer of global dollar liquidity. Its price reacts not to current conditions, but to expectations of future money printing.
• The recent 25% drop reflects real liquidity tightening. Two temporary pillars of the rally have collapsed:
— Bitcoin ETF inflows were mostly hedge-fund basis trades;
— MicroStrategy buying stopped once the NAV premium disappeared.
• ETF inflows from BlackRock and others weren’t true institutional conviction — just spread arbitrage. The spread vanished → selling pressure kicked in.
• Policymakers face a dilemma: print money and fuel inflation, or allow credit tightening with recession risks.
• Bessent, like Yellen, will look for creative ways to inject liquidity. China is ready to stimulate too, but waiting for the U.S. to print first.
• Long-term bullish signal: both Trump and Xi recognize Bitcoin’s value.
Hayes’ Forecast:
• Short term: equity correction of 10–20%, BTC down to $80–85k. That drop should force policymakers back to printing.
• Long term: after new liquidity waves, Bitcoin could surge to $200–250k.
Strategy: Hayes is increasing his stablecoin allocation to buy the dip.
Investment idea: in a liquidity-starved environment, he highlights Zcash (ZEC). Privacy will be a growing narrative; a privacy coin could break into the top 5.

Quarkslab completed the first public security audit of Bitcoin Core
https://blog.quarkslab.com/bitcoin-core-audit.html
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned that if BlackRock and other large institutions keep expanding their ETH holdings, Ethereum faces two risks: (1) decentralization-minded builders could be crowded out, weakening the community; and (2) base-layer choices optimized for institutions (e.g., ~150 ms block times) could make it infeasible for typical users to run nodes, driving geographic/network centralization.
