GM fam ☕️
OG weekly recap :
What started as a bullish week quickly turned uncertain. BTC reclaimed $110K, ETH hit $2.8K and alt season vibes were everywhere. But by Friday, Israel–Iran tensions triggered sharp volatility and nearly $1B in liquidations. BTC now sits at $105K, ETH back at $2.5K.
Despite the shaky macro, the ecosystem delivered a wave of bullish news. Builders kept shipping, infra kept evolving and momentum hasn’t stopped. Let’s take a look 👇
🇺🇸 @worldlibertyfi launched the $USD1 stablecoin on TRON, backed by the Trump orbit. Meanwhile, Trump teased a new trade deal with China. US tariffs are now at 55% while China’s at 10%.
🧠 Ethereum staking hit a new ATH with 34.8M ETH locked, nearly 30 percent of the circulating supply. Quiet conviction from long-term holders while CT argues over red candles.
🇧🇷 Brazil passed the first committee vote on its Bitcoin Reserve Bill. Bullish news for my Brazilian $DOG fam, your memes might end up in the treasury.
🧪 @KeetaNetwork ran its public stress test and crushed it. 11.2M TPS, 30M accounts, 2.2TB of block data, all on just 4 nodes. Parallel execution works and the infra is real.
🏦 Bank of America and Deutsche Bank both confirmed they’re exploring stablecoins. Walmart and Amazon are reportedly doing the same. The world’s biggest institutions are waking up.
💳 @coinbase is launching the Coinbase One card offering 4% BTC cashback through Amex. Perpetuals for US users are also coming later this year. TradFi is getting pulled into crypto’s gravity.
🥇 Tokenized gold is now live on @HyperliquidX. XAUt0 trades on HyperCore and bridges from Ethereum through LayerZero. 24/7 gold market is now a thing, fully onchain and composable. Marking another W for the ecosystem and for the rise of RWA.
🛒 Shopify is rolling out $USDC payments through Coinbase and Stripe, with MetaMask integration and full launch by end of 2025. Powered by Base and built for the open internet.
🤝 @stripe announced the acquisition of @privy_io, the wallet infrastructure powering over 75 million accounts across 1,000+ developer teams. Privy will continue to operate independently, but with Stripe stepping in, things are about to accelerate.
🔮 @xai and @Polymarket are teaming up to bring prediction markets to X. Onchain sentiment powered by Grok could be a new signal layer for CT if it lands.
📈 $TON topped NFT volume charts as Telegram continues its quiet takeover. Azuki and Pudgy sold out their sticker pack drops with over 100K in demand each. BAYC just launched their official channel and confirmed that their own pack is on the way. You just can’t fade Telegram anymore.
🏁 @pudgypenguins announced a partnership with @NASCAR. From sticker packs to the racetrack, Pengu is breaking into every layer of mainstream culture.
That’s it from OG.
Markets are shaky but conviction isn’t.
What are we aping next week to break to break the down cycle ?
OG salutes you 🫡
