Streamex just hired ex‑Coinbase and Morgan Stanley veteran Christine Plummer as CFO, betting a Wall Street‑grade balance sheet can turn GLDY tokenized gold into real institutional plumbing.

Lido’s new IDVTC design lets verified solo stakers form DVT clusters, slashing collateral needs while hardening Ethereum validator risk and sustaining staking yields. Summary IDVTC groups four verified community stakers into one DVT-backed validator cluster, reducing single-operator failure risk.

Lido’s community staking module is about to stop pretending this is still a game for whales only. A new proposal to introduce an “Identified…

Summary Polymarket and Kalshi volumes smashed records as traders priced odds of a U.S. strike on Iran and leadership change in Tehran.

A $10m SOFR options win on “higher for longer” rates shows where real money is made upstream of crypto, as oil‑driven inflation forces markets to kill early Fed cuts. Summary A trader reportedly made about $10 million this month on SOFR‑linked options initiated in January, effectively shorting the market’s dovish Fed path. Surging oil and Middle East risk have revived inflation fears, pushing yields higher, slashing odds of near‑term cuts, and revaluing the entire front‑end rates surface. Slower, shallower easing supports the dollar and front‑end yields, choking risk appetite for duration trades from long‑dated tech to high‑beta altcoins and DeFi.…
