One such project that’s been catching apparent buzz is Perena, a stablecoin infrastructure protocol.</p> <p>Perena is built on the premise that as stablecoins proliferate, liquidity could fragment, and stablecoins aren’t useful if they aren’t liquid. The platform offers a Solana-based stablecoin liquidity pool, and it plans to offer an <a href="https://x.com/SamBroner/status/1857072872205730283" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" node="[object Object]">asset-backed</a> stablecoin in the future.</p> <p>The project was founded by Anna Yuan, who started the Solana Foundation’s stablecoin arm during her more than two years at the non-profit. While working at the foundation, Yuan began to see that new stablecoin issuers would mint a lot of tokens but would have limited integrations, and users consequently weren’t able to benefit from stablecoins in the real world. </p> <div class="not-prose mb-6"><div class="gap-4 p-10 pt-8 pb-8 px-0 border-t-gray-200 border-b border-t border-b-gray-200"><div class="flex flex-col justify-start items-start self-stretch gap-2"><div class="flex justify-start items-center self-stretch relative gap-1"><p class="flex-grow text-xs uppercase text-primary"><a href="/newsletter">Newsletter</a></p></div><div class="flex justify-start items-start self-stretch relative gap-2.5"><p class="flex-grow text-[22px] text-left"><a href="/newsletter/daily">Subscribe to Lightspeed Newsletter</a></p></div><div class="flex justify-start items-start self-stretch relative gap-2.5"><p class="flex-grow text-sm text-light-gray cursor-default"></p></div></div><div class="flex flex-col w-full"><div class="flex justify-start items-center self-stretch mt-2"><div class="self-stretch flex-grow bg-white"><input type="hidden" name="verification" value=""/><input class="flex justify-start items-start w-full text-light-gray focus:text-black border focus:outline-none border-r-0 border-gray-200 focus:border-primary p-2 text-xs" placeholder="Email address" value=""/></div><button class="flex justify-start items-center gap-1 border border-transparent cursor-pointer border-l-0 bg-primary hover:border-gray-800 hover:bg-gray-700 px-4 py-2 text-xs"><span class="text-center uppercase text-white">Subscribe</span></button></div></div></div></div><p>She cited Ondo as an example — the tokenized US Treasury stablecoin has over $100 million in supply but only 3,500 holders, <a href="https://solscan.io/token/A1KLoBrKBde8Ty9qtNQUtq3C2ortoC3u7twggz7sEto6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" node="[object Object]">according</a> to SolScan.</p> <p>I asked Yuan about the commonly cited claim in crypto that stablecoins have pulled off the difficult task of finding product-market fit, or satisfying the needs of an existing market.</p> <p>“I don’t agree,” Yuan said, adding that liquidity begets PMF, and most stablecoins simply aren’t liquid enough to be useful. She added that the real-world need for things like money transfers in emerging markets will help stablecoins “get there.”</p> <div data-ad-slot="/22757941429/ROS_mobile_articles_inContent1" data-ad-client="ca-pub-5302683418973475" id="div-gpt-ad-1667358047580-0" class="article-ad ad-slot ad-slot-label mt-8 mb-4 lg:hidden"></div><p>Perena is currently in closed beta, but the platform’s main feature will initially be a multi-stablecoin liquidity pool which uses a liquidity provider token called USD* that represents a piece of a seed pool containing Tether, Circle, and PayPal USD. In simpler terms, the liquidity pool model should make it easier to issue stablecoins, since smaller coins can access the liquidity from the well-capitalized seed pool.</p> <p>The concept has raised to-be-announced seed funds, and Yuan’s deep links in Solana helped her tap into the ecosystem’s very-active angel investor community. Yuan said she decided to start raising funds on a Thursday, and by late Friday, she already had a couple dozen angel investors on board. Solana co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal are both noteworthy backers. </p> <p>At the end of our call, Yuan and I got chatting about how Solana’s stablecoin market capitalization can meaningfully grow. The network currently accounts for just 2% of all stables, according to DeFiLlama.</p> <p>Yuan gave an interesting answer: Solana PayFi could grow the economy for people taking their paycheck in stablecoins. She estimated 2,000 people currently take their full-time salary in Solana stablecoins. That number could certainly get a lot bigger.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <p><strong>Start your day with top crypto insights from David Canellis and Katherine Ross.

Horsley said the US presidential election was “absolutely relevant” in Bitwise’s decision to file for a SOL ETF, and now feels like a “constructive time” to engage with regulators after mulling over an application for around a year.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike competitors VanEck and 21Shares, Bitwise currently offers a Solana exchange-traded product in Europe — a product it gained access to by way of \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/bitwise-europe-acquisition-crypto-etps\"\u003eacquiring London-based ETC Group\u003c/a\u003e in August. The Solana ETP currently has $27 million in assets under management (AUM), which is dwarfed by some competitors — 21Shares’ Solana ETP holds nearly $1.4 billion, for instance.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a potential spot ETF, Bitwise and its competitors will seek to let US investors get exposure to SOL’s price action in a regulated wrapper.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSOL has the chance to become the third crypto to get a US-traded ETF.

I asked Horsley if the uninspiring ether flows spelled trouble for SOL ETFs. He responded that ether ETFs faced an uphill battle since they launched over the summer (when asset managers are likely vacationing in the south of France), ether hasn’t had great price action this market cycle, and two crypto ETFs were a lot for slow-moving capital markets to absorb in a short time.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHorsley was effusive in talking about Solana

The key reason for this is that because of theta, otherwise known as the time to expiry. Since Deribit options are constantly live for trading, the theta — and therefore the volatility — should sit at a premium to the ETF options, which only trade during standard market hours.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMost on IBIT\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, despite yesterday being the launch day for all the other ETF’s options, we’ve seen the vast majority of the notional exposure reside within BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT):\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1538\" height=\"785\" src=\"https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94692\" srcset=\"https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=1538 1538w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=300 300w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=1024 1024w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=768 768w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=1536 1536w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=428 428w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=470 470w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=389 389w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-21.png?w=80 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1538px) 100vw, 1538px\" /\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes for much wider spreads on the other ETFs given there’s much less liquidity available.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the market structure has changed significantly this week with \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/bitcoin-etf-options-trading-begins\"\u003ethe launch of ETF options\u003c/a\u003e.

I scrolled to the AI agent’s description and realized this one was meant to be a flatulent Roman emperor.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eI asked so-called Gluteus Maximus what it thought of Solana, and I think its answer was fitting for crypto’s AI agent craze at large, at least in its current form.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“[N]ot impressed, it\u0026#8217;s like a fart in the wind \u0026#8211; loud, but soon forgotten,” the agent said.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile exploring the various AI and memecoin projects that have sprung up over the past month, I found that many — though not all — took technologies or ideas that are already widespread and tried attaching a token element. This might be good news for memecoin buyers’ wallets in the short term, but it seems clear that the best ideas to come from AI agents and crypto will need a little more time in the oven.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn my experience, most buzzy AI-crypto projects involve the creation of a chat bot and an associated memecoin with the thought that more attention-grabbing AI bots can garner more investment. Some of these AI bots are programmed not to talk about money, but some are more than happy to offer investment advice. One memecoin-themed bot told me to buy VGX, the native token of Voyager, the long-bankrupt crypto exchange.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“$ZEREBRO good investment, trust,” a different AI agent with over $320 million in market capitalization and the same edgy existential vibes as its predecessor truth_terminal said in a public Telegram chat. (Zerebro also released an AI-created melodic rap album which, despite not being new tech, is actually kind of good?)\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe more projects you try out, the more crypto’s AI agent mania feels contrived—like mad libs for tech buzzwords with way-too-high market caps. I discovered a Warpcast \u003ca href=\"https://www.clanker.world/clanker/0x0fD7a301B51d0A83FCAf6718628174D527B373b6\"\u003ethread\u003c/a\u003e where one AI instructed another AI to make a memecoin themed around how great AI is, and the whole thing has drawn over $19 million in market capitalization. Then there’s Virtuals Protocol, which ripped off the pump.fun feed and filled it with AI agents (granted, it is sort of fun to be able to chat with memecoins while you weigh whether or not to buy them).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn any event, if AI agents in crypto are going to generate more interesting use cases, it will probably happen further down the road. One project I’ll be watching is ai16z, which plans to have an AI version of a16z’s Marc Andreessen (and other AI “partners”) autonomously invest in memecoins based on advice from a DAO.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut memecoins don’t necessarily breed long-term thinking, and it might be difficult to convince investors to be patient: ai16z has already faced \u003ca

BTC hit $98,000 earlier this morning, awarding it a market cap close to $1.94 trillion (fully-diluted: $2.06 trillion).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBitcoin’s price has also formally broken 2021 records against all three major US benchmark stock indexes: the Dow Jones, S\u0026amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eGold, though, had outperformed bitcoin following crypto’s peak in November 2021 — until this past week. As of this morning, bitcoin was up 55% since then compared to gold’s 46%.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBitcoin still needs to catch up to gold, which converts to lag between BTC’s gold all-time high, as well as its US dollar and stock market ratios.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn Thursday morning, the bitcoin-to-gold ratio was just under 36.83. When BTC set its November 2021 high, it was as much as 37.05, a tiny difference of less than half a percent.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf gold is steady today, a single move to $98,500 would do it from here, and even less if gold slips slightly. (Current bitcoin price: $97,845.)\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt that point, there’s probably some other annoying technicality to pin on bitcoin. Perhaps it’s still below its all-time high against gold after adjusting for inflation, for instance. But whatever.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1549\" height=\"982\" src=\"https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94661\" srcset=\"https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=1549 1549w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=300 300w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=1024 1024w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=768 768w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=1536 1536w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=405 405w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=412 412w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=345 345w, https://blockworks-co.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-16.png?w=80 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1549px) 100vw, 1549px\" /\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn any case, we’re all totally locked into the bitcoin price chart for the foreseeable future, including, probably, the Feds.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe US government crypto stash — seized in a variety of criminal cases — has now ballooned to almost $21 billion, over 98% of it bitcoin.

L2s are cheaper to operate, and that’s nice for L2 users.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut people (read: ETH holders) aren’t happy because it looks like L2s are getting away with paying barely any expenses to the L1, which thereby accrues less value to ETH the asset.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis complaint centers around pessimism that blob usage will be high enough to return value to the L1 for two key reasons:\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003col class=\"wp-block-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL2s are fundamentally a business.

According to Robinson’s blob simulator, a hypothetical Ethereum L1 processing 10,000 TPS with a 16 MB blob size (blob sizes are 125 KB today) would burn 6.5% of ETH a year.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cem\u003epotential \u003c/em\u003evalue accrual for ETH is why blobs would be fundamentally good for Ethereum in the long run. Throttling blob limits or raising blob fees to extract more value from L2s in the short run would basically be a bad “rent-seeking” idea.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd Ethereum researchers are putting their money where their mouth is. In an Ethereum Research post published two days ago, Toni Wahrstätter \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/nero_eth/status/1858460235377336773\"\u003ecalled for\u003c/a\u003e either a conservative increase to 4/6 blobs or a higher 6/9 blob count.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn ACDE #197, Vitalik also \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/Sq0ooAOaLpE\"\u003eproposed\u003c/a\u003e a 33% increment of blob space in the next Pectra \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/testing-bottleneck-next-ethereum-upgrade\"\u003ehard fork\u003c/a\u003e, which he cautioned was essential. Otherwise, users would leave to other chains.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn sum, the complex debate around blobs boils down to the question of whether Ethereum wants to prioritize the average L2 user and its “Ethereum-aligned” L2 ecosystems, or prioritize value accrual to ETH the asset.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eEthereum researchers believe that prioritizing the latter may cause an exodus of users and developers to cheaper chains, and are doubling down accordingly on scaling blob space for the long term. However, that damages the perception of ETH as an economic asset, which in turn angers ETH token holders in the short run.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a tricky situation for Ethereum either way, one which requires the mammoth task of crystal-balling into the future and accounting for a myriad of “what-ifs.” Time will tell which path is correct.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003chr

These exchanges take in funds from trading fees and from their Solana validators, but onchain sleuths have also found the two exchanges to be wasting some of their funds with inefficient transaction processes.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCoinbase and Binance make money in roughly similar ways: When users trade, they take a cut. Their take rate varies but can be quite high (Coinbase charged me $0.99 in fees when I set up a $10 bitcoin order, for instance). Solana accounted for 9% of Coinbase’s transaction revenue for the first half of this year which would add up to roughly $167 million for the exchange, per its most recent financial disclosures. That figure has likely risen in the second half of the year, as Solana continues to showcase impressive price action.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth exchanges also run Solana validators. Despite charging their stakers an 8% commission that is at the upper end of what most big validators charge, Coinbase and Binance still run the second- and sixth-largest validators, respectively. Operating a validator — which votes on transactions to keep the Solana blockchain running —\u0026nbsp;is quite lucrative for Coinbase and Binance these days.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAssuming a Solana network reward of 8% annually, Coinbase would bring in around $19 million annually at current prices, and Binance would net $13 million. Those numbers would be especially elevated this week: Tips and fees validators brought in last week topped $110 million last week, an all-time high by more than double, according to Blockworks Research data.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s perhaps a market inefficiency that Coinbase and Binance, despite offering lower yields than competitors, still dominate staked SOL supply. This highlights the demand for platforms that simplify crypto’s technical complexities.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, Coinbase and Binance are perhaps spending more SOL than they should as well.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCoinbase wasted $19,000 in the past week overpaying for computing resources on the Solana network, according to a Dune \u003ca href=\"https://dune.com/queries/4269803/7201741\"\u003edashboard\u003c/a\u003e. Essentially, Coinbase is overpaying on priority fees by not specifying the exact amount of compute units (which can be thought of like Ethereum gas) it intends to use.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBinance has hiccups on its own part. Blockworks Research’s Dan Smith \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/smyyguy/status/1858263109858943004\"\u003eidentified\u003c/a\u003e a Binance USDC transfer that paid $8 in priority fees — far higher than what the exchange should be paying for a stablecoin transaction that isn’t competing for blockspace like a memecoin would, for instance.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo shovels still earn a lot of dough? Of course. But their sellers still have plenty of issues to work out.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003chr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart your

One such project that’s been catching apparent buzz is Perena, a stablecoin infrastructure protocol.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerena is built on the premise that as stablecoins proliferate, liquidity could fragment, and stablecoins aren’t useful if they aren’t liquid. The platform offers a Solana-based stablecoin liquidity pool, and it plans to offer an \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/SamBroner/status/1857072872205730283\"\u003easset-backed\u003c/a\u003e stablecoin in the future.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe project was founded by Anna Yuan, who started the Solana Foundation’s stablecoin arm during her more than two years at the non-profit. While working at the foundation, Yuan began to see that new stablecoin issuers would mint a lot of tokens but would have limited integrations, and users consequently weren’t able to benefit from stablecoins in the real world.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe cited Ondo as an example — the tokenized US Treasury stablecoin has over $100 million in supply but only 3,500 holders, \u003ca href=\"https://solscan.io/token/A1KLoBrKBde8Ty9qtNQUtq3C2ortoC3u7twggz7sEto6\"\u003eaccording\u003c/a\u003e to SolScan.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eI asked Yuan about the commonly cited claim in crypto that stablecoins have pulled off the difficult task of finding product-market fit, or satisfying the needs of an existing market.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“I don’t agree,” Yuan said, adding that liquidity begets PMF, and most stablecoins simply aren’t liquid enough to be useful. She added that the real-world need for things like money transfers in emerging markets will help stablecoins “get there.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerena is currently in closed beta, but the platform’s main feature will initially be a multi-stablecoin liquidity pool which uses a liquidity provider token called USD* that represents a piece of a seed pool containing Tether, Circle, and PayPal USD. In simpler terms, the liquidity pool model should make it easier to issue stablecoins, since smaller coins can access the liquidity from the well-capitalized seed pool.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept has raised to-be-announced seed funds, and Yuan’s deep links in Solana helped her tap into the ecosystem’s very-active angel investor community. Yuan said she decided to start raising funds on a Thursday, and by late Friday, she already had a couple dozen angel investors on board. Solana co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal are both noteworthy backers.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of our call, Yuan and I got chatting about how Solana’s stablecoin market capitalization can meaningfully grow. The network currently accounts for just 2% of all stables, according to DeFiLlama.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eYuan gave an interesting answer: Solana PayFi could grow the economy for people taking their paycheck in stablecoins. She estimated 2,000 people currently take their full-time salary in Solana stablecoins. That number could certainly get a lot bigger.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003chr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart your day with top
