Today, the White House dropped its crypto playbook, fundamentally shifting the conversation from ‘if’ to ‘how fast.’ However, it seems to be less of a blueprint and more of a bureaucratic nudge.
Today’s PWG report is a necessary but not critical next step for broader digital asset adoption.
JPMorgan’s 80M+ customers will soon be able to buy crypto with Chase cards, link their bank accounts to Coinbase, and convert credit card points to USDC. TradFi’s biggest player is going deeper into crypto, via Coinbase.
Stablecoins are going to increase dollar dominance globally. They are going to drive adoption of the US dollar, and become an important part of the traditional financial system. Stablecoins are the future.
It's all about dollar debasement. And dollar debasement is going to inflate bitcoin and gold's prices at a faster rate than it inflates the earnings of these companies.
Wall Street's full, undivided attention is on bitcoin, and there's only 21 million. And so if you increase capital flow, price has to readjust higher.
One of the most overlooked frontiers in crypto today is the quiet march toward onchain IPOs. Just as stablecoins are disrupting legacy intermediaries who’ve extracted value without adding it, onchain capital formation is coming for the IPO gatekeepers: the bankers, brokers, and institutions who’ve long controlled access to public markets. Replacing (or in some cases eliminating) these middlemen won’t just streamline the process, it may finally revive the broken IPO pipeline that’s stagnated for over a decade..
As stablecoins gain momentum under new U.S. legislation, the debate is heating up. This week marks the first major onshore stablecoin launch under the GENIUS Act, signaling a potential shift in U.S. crypto policy. But critics, including a UW–Madison professor, warn that stablecoins may be a “ticking time bomb” for the economy. With lawmakers advancing key crypto bills and opinions divided, the question is clear: Are stablecoins laying the groundwork for a safer financial future or setting the stage for the next crisis?
Claims that full-reserve stablecoins, like those outlined in the GENIUS Act, pose systemic risk are not grounded in economics, they’re marketing. Specifically, they’re the panicked cries of entrenched intermediaries watching the moat around their outdated business models evaporate.
One question making the rounds recently is ‘Will JP Morgan buy Coinbase?’ The answer is no—because Coinbase’s CEO Brian Armstrong has been working for over a decade to be the acquirer, not to be acquired.
Grayscale’s global head of ETFs, David LaValle, is set to depart the crypto asset manager at the end of July, months before it is set to IPO.
PNC Bank is partnering with Coinbase to enable cryptocurrency access through everyday banking accounts, marking one of the first major moves by a traditional U.S. bank to bring crypto to mainstream consumers. The collaboration suggests a potential shift in how legacy financial institutions engage with digital assets—and raises questions about whether crypto is entering a new phase of adoption through established banking channels.
Most Banks have digital initiatives but none have viable platforms for a digital solution. So expect more JVs like PNC/ Coinbase and efforts like payments on existing digital platforms like Telegram and X.
I’m not sure these problems are solvable where management teams of less mature projects are spinning up and controlling these public vehicles themselves. Crypto lawyers should be doing a better job here.
Trump Media has reportedly invested $2 billion of its treasury into Bitcoin, embracing a full-scale crypto treasury strategy as part of its financial model. Beyond the business risks and rewards of such a massive bet, the move is raising political questions: is this simply a Truth Social play—or does it reflect a broader ideological alignment with the crypto movement by Trump and his allies? Analysts are debating what this means for Bitcoin’s future as a political asset class.
The President’s company is buying billions of dollars in bitcoin and you are bearish? Couldn’t be me.
