a16z Crypto Founder on Stablecoins: The 'WhatsApp Moment' in Money Has Arrived

Chris Dixon, general partner at a16z Crypto, argues that stablecoins are bringing about a "WhatsApp moment" for money—dramatically reducing the cost and increasing the speed of global payments, much like messaging apps did for communication. Last year, stablecoin transaction volume reached over $12 trillion, nearing Visa’s $17 trillion, but at a fraction of the cost. Stablecoins, which are pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar, are becoming mainstream for online and international payments. They offer near-instant settlement, high reliability, and programmability, effectively turning money into software. While adoption is still largely within crypto-native and global business contexts, integration with traditional finance is accelerating. U.S. policy developments, such as the proposed Clarity Act, could provide the regulatory framework needed for stablecoins to scale as part of global financial infrastructure. Major companies like Stripe, Fidelity, and SpaceX are already using or issuing stablecoins to cut costs, streamline cross-border payroll, and operate in regions with weak banking systems. A significant secondary effect is the strengthening of the U.S. dollar’s dominance. Stablecoin issuers like Circle and Tether now hold nearly $140 billion in short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, making them top holders. If growth continues, they could rank among the top 10 Treasury holders by next year. Ultimately, stablecoins are reshaping global finance by enabling borderless value transfer, much as the internet enabled borderless communication—provided clear rules and market structures support their growth.

From Grunt Engineer to Crypto Billionaire: Solana's Leader Toly's Wealth Exposed

Anatoly Yakovenko, creator of the Solana blockchain, has become a leading figure and billionaire in the crypto industry. Born in the Soviet Union and later immigrating to the U.S., he studied computer science and worked over a decade at Qualcomm, gaining expertise in distributed systems. His early Bitcoin mining experience exposed him to scalability issues in existing blockchains, inspiring him to develop the "Proof of History" concept, which became the foundation of Solana. Yakovenko co-founded Solana Labs in 2018. He holds an estimated 12.5% of the initial SOL token supply, with on-chain analysis suggesting he controls wallets containing millions of SOL, valued between tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. He also owns an estimated 5-10% of Solana Labs, which is valued between $5-8 billion, adding billions to his net worth. His wealth is highly volatile with SOL's price; it peaked around $20-30 billion during the 2021 bull market but fell below $1 billion during the 2022 bear market. As of early 2026, his net worth is estimated between $500 million and $1.2 billion. Additionally, he is an active angel investor in over 40 crypto projects. Despite market fluctuations, Yakovenko remains a central architect in the digital economy.

New Binance Controversy: Investigators Alleging Iranian Sanctions Violations Fired

Binance faces new allegations from a Fortune report that its internal investigators identified over $1 billion in transactions potentially linked to Iranian entities, conducted via Tether on the Tron blockchain between March 2024 and August 2025, which may violate US sanctions. Following their internal reports, at least five compliance team members, including senior investigators, were dismissed, and four others resigned or were forced out. The report raises serious concerns about Binance's compliance controls, especially given its 2023 guilty plea for AML violations and ongoing government monitorship. Former CEO Changpeng Zhao rejected the claims, suggesting investigators may have been fired for performance failures and questioning the reliability of anonymous sources.

Binance’s CZ slams $1B Iran sanction allegations as ‘paid FUD’

Binance faces new allegations of compliance failures, with a Fortune report claiming the exchange processed $1 billion in transactions for sanctioned Iranian entities in 2025 and fired investigators who uncovered the activity. Founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) dismissed the report as "paid FUD" or the work of a disgruntled ex-employee, while CEO Richard Teng called it irresponsible but acknowledged compliance is an ongoing challenge. The allegations come despite Binance's 2023 plea deal with the DOJ, which included independent monitoring until 2027. Iran's crypto activity surged to $10 billion in 2025, half linked to its government, raising U.S. Treasury concerns. Despite the claims, Binance saw stable reserves and no significant outflows, with BTC holdings even increasing.

Bitcoin’s post-quantum plan BIP-360 gains traction, but will it reverse market sell-off?

Bitcoin is advancing its post-quantum security with the BIP-360 proposal, a soft fork designed to mitigate quantum computing risks for Taproot (P2TR) addresses. These addresses, which once held over half of Bitcoin’s supply, commit public keys on-chain, making them vulnerable to "long exposure attacks" from future quantum computers. BIP-360 proposes replacing the exposed "key-to-spend" path with Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) to keep data private. Although Taproot usage has dropped from 54% to 22% since early 2024, the update only addresses part of the quantum risk. The proposal is seen as a step toward broader quantum security. Market analysts suggest resolving this FUD could renew investor confidence and potentially reverse the current sell-off, possibly driving Bitcoin to new all-time highs.

The Year of AI Payments: When Your Agent Learns to Pay on Its Own

English Summary: The era of AI-driven automation is approaching, requiring AI agents to possess native payment capabilities for true autonomy. Major tech companies like Google (with AP2) and crypto-native projects (via ERC-8004 and x402) are developing infrastructure for agent-level payments. Google’s AP2 uses a three-layer mandate system (Intent, Cart, Payment) built atop existing platforms like Google Pay, prioritizing convenience and consumer protection within a controlled ecosystem. In contrast, crypto approaches emphasize decentralization: ERC-8004 provides verifiable on-chain identity via NFT credentials, while x402 enables autonomous stablecoin payments via smart contracts, allowing agent-to-agent commerce without intermediaries. The key divergence is between platform-controlled, closed systems (prioritizing safety) and open, protocol-based models (prioritizing user sovereignty and broader interoperability). Both aim to enable AI agents to autonomously execute tasks like shopping or micropayments, but differ in architecture, trust models, and scope of use cases.

Ethereum Slides Below $2,000 for First Time Since May 2025

Ethereum's native token, Ether (ETH), fell below the critical $2,000 support level for the first time since May 2025, hitting a year-to-date low near $1,927. This sharp decline was part of a broader sell-off in cryptocurrency markets, driven by intensified selling pressure and fear-driven liquidations. Technical analysis indicates a confirmed breakdown of a long-term support zone between $2,200 and $2,000, with further downside targets identified between $1,665 and $1,725. Momentum indicators show sellers are in control, with ETH trading below key moving averages. On-chain data reveals increased exchange inflows and reduced holdings from mid-sized investors, signaling heightened selling willingness. The short-term outlook remains cautious, with key psychological support levels now at $2,000 and $1,800. Resistance for any potential bounce is expected around $2,200–$2,300, with more significant hurdles near $2,500–$2,700. Until these levels are reclaimed, technical sentiment favors continued downside risk and elevated volatility.

Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme CEO Sentenced to 20 Years, DOJ Says

Ramil Ventira Palafox, the former CEO of Praetorian Group International (PGI), has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a U.S. federal court for operating a Bitcoin-based Ponzi scheme. The scheme defrauded over 90,000 investors worldwide of approximately $200 million. PGI falsely promised daily returns of 0.5% to 3% through high-tech trading, but no real trading occurred. Instead, new investor funds were used to pay earlier participants. Palafox diverted millions for personal luxury expenses, including high-end vehicles and real estate. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering in September 2025. Authorities are working on victim restitution but warn full repayment is unlikely.

CZ's Latest AMA: Buying 'My' Meme Coins Is Doomed to Lose Money, Long-Term Wins Are the Real Wins

CZ, founder of Binance, shared his insights on various topics in a recent AMA. He warned that buying meme coins created based on his tweets is almost guaranteed to lose money, emphasizing that only those with strong cultural backing and communities, like Dogecoin, tend to last. CZ avoided predicting short-term market movements but expressed long-term optimism for crypto, citing supportive U.S. policies and the growth of stablecoins and RWA tokenization. He advised developers to ignore price volatility and focus on building useful products, while projects should maintain clear communication with their communities. On regulation, he views any clarity, even through compromised bills, as positive. CZ also discussed his personal drive, stating he is motivated by health, family, and contributing positively to society rather than wealth. Other key points include: the importance of real-world asset tokenization, AI and crypto integration (with payments being the easiest use case), the coexistence of CEXs and DEXs serving different users, and Binance's significant efforts in emerging markets like Africa. He recommended ignoring FUD and protecting mental health by blocking noise. Finally, he shared progress on his educational project, Giggle Academy, which has over 150,000 registered users.
