Monero appears to be in the midst of a successful 51% attack. The privacy-focused blockchain, launched in 2014 and long targeted by governments and 3-letters agencies, is already banned from most major centralized exchanges. The Qubic mining pool has been amassing hashrate for

2/ Trying to push him out early would be a legal headache and a political fight. Better to let Powell finish the job and take the blame for any final round of tight policy. That gives Trump cover, Powell gets to be the fall guy if the economy slows or inflation flares again.

4/ Big picture: Each successful initial public offering sets comps for the next. If Bullish prices well, expect an accelerated queue of exchanges, infra plays and token issuers racing to file before the window closes.

3/ Key numbers: • 20.3 M shares, $28-$31 range • $874 M cash on hand pre-raise • 2024 net income: $80M Underwriters (JPM, Jefferies, Citi) are saying it's a “profitable exchange and media arm.”

2/ Why it matters: Bullish joins the Q4 25 – Q1 26 pipeline with Kraken, Bitgo, Grayscale, etc. Wall Street is quietly queuing a digital asset deal calendar we haven’t seen since the dot com era.

🧵 1/ Crypto-IPO season just got another headline: Bullish (Exchange + owner of CoinDesk) filed to raise up to $629 M in a NYSE share sale at a ~$4.2 B valuation. Ticker: BLSH.

Not a mascot, a menance. $ANITA is going to have a monster pump 🔜

Glad to see $ANITA is running with this narrative @ANITAONINKCTO

9/ TLDR • PayPal’s crypto checkout feature is live • Merchants save fees, users get onchain rails • Stablecoins become mainstream • Crypto gets plugged into global commerce by default The next wave isn’t speculative, it’s systemic. 🌐

8/ Crypto payments used to be a UX meme. Now they're invisible. That’s how mass adoption always happens: when the infrastructure disappears into the background but the demand compounds.

7/ The win isn’t just for PayPal. This legitimizes the entire stack: • Wallets like MetaMask & Coinbase Wallet • Stablecoins as remittance rails • L2 chains that offer faster settlement • DeFi native primitives that plug into these flows

6/ Now zoom out: Stablecoins are already $160B in total supply. If PayPal’s rollout succeeds, we could see a net inflow of $20B+ into PYUSD and USDC over the next 12–24 months. That’s a bigger tailwind than any ETF approval.

5/ And where there’s flow, there’s float. PYUSD (PayPal’s stablecoin) becomes the default “store of value” inside merchant accounts. Yield: 4% APY. That means merchants are now LPs in the stablecoin economy.

4/ This changes crypto’s denominator. Global retail e-commerce will hit $6.3 trillion by 2026. If just 1% of that routes through crypto rails via PayPal, that’s >$60 billion in new payment flow touching digital assets.

3/ The biggest unlock? Stablecoins and crypto rails quietly replace SWIFT, Stripe, and Visa. Merchants don’t even need to touch crypto. But behind the scenes: • Transactions route through MetaMask • Funds settle in stablecoins (PYUSD, USDC) • Crypto finally becomes

2/ This matters because payments are how real world adoption starts. Until now, crypto has been: → too volatile to use → too technical to integrate → too expensive to accept PayPal just solved all 3.

1/ PayPal now lets U.S. merchants accept 100+ cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, XRP, USDT, and USDC. Users can pay with MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc. Merchants receive USD. Settlement is near instant. All for 0.99% fees which is 90% cheaper than card rails.

🧵 PayPal just flipped the switch on mass crypto payments. Here’s why it matters + how it unlocks crypto’s next leg up.

7/ Ink gets the flows; $ANITA is the leverage. The crowd will notice later, accumulation season is now.
