Mastercard Backs Stablecoins After GENIUS Act — But Without Decentralization

Right after the U.S. passed the GENIUS Act, Mastercard came out in support of stablecoins. But let’s be clear — they’re not here for the decentralized dream.

Mastercard wants to integrate stablecoins into the existing banking model: middlemen, fees, regulations — the whole TradFi package. The company positions itself as the trusted gatekeeper needed for mass adoption.

👉 Stablecoins may be going mainstream, but decentralization? Not on their watch.

Donald Trump – $1.3M in crypto (37% of his net worth), 142M followers

Ted Cruz – Texas mining advocate, $32.5K in crypto

6️⃣

J.D. Vance – Current U.S. VP, $375K in reserves

Linea Just Dropped Its Tokenomics — and It's Not What You’d Expect

Ethereum L2 built by ConsenSys has revealed the full breakdown of $LINEA — and it breaks the mold in a few big ways:

🔹

Gas fees will be paid in $ETH only — no $LINEA needed
🔹 $LINEA won’t be a governance token — there’s no DAO

🔹

20% of ETH gas fees will be burned
🔹 The other 80% will be used to burn $LINEA, making it deflationary

📊 Total Supply: 72B $LINEA
Here’s the distribution:
– 75% to ecosystem growth
– 15% to the treasury (locked for 5 years)
– 10% to airdrops
• 9% for LXP holders
• 1% for early devs

TGE will unlock 22% of the supply
– 10% for airdrop
– 12% for liquidity and market-making

Instead of a DAO, Linea will be governed by a nonprofit-backed consortium, including players like ENS and Eigen Labs.

👉

No TGE date yet — but now’s the time to prepare.

🚨 Over $66M in $PENGU Moved from Insider Wallets — Is a Dump Incoming?

Since early July, wallets linked to the Pudgy Penguins deployer have transferred over $66.6M worth of $PENGU to exchanges — including $5.6M just on July 30.

📉

Market reaction:
— $PENGU dropped ~5% in 24h to $0.037
— A deployer-linked wallet moved 485M tokens ($17.6M)
— Total moved from July 12–30: $66.6M+

🧊 The community is growing wary of a potential dump after July’s massive rally (+150%). No official statement from the team yet.

Stay sharp, penguins — we'll keep monitoring this closely.
