i thought this was a great research by @thelearningpill on the development and growth on stablecoins. stablecoin becomes an entirely a new industry on its own.

i believe that once money learns to move instantly 24/7 across borders, it wont go back to 3-day wire transfers

because habits are the most durable moat in financial services

stablecoins didn't convince people to learn crypto

they embedded themselves into interfaces people already trusted:
- PayPal 434M users
- Telegram 800M users
- Nubank 127M
- Cash App 57M

it used a similar model to how TCP/IP go to market, by becoming invisible inside things people already used and going forward i believe to scale, this will be have to be the winning playbook for many other crypto products.

some key insights:
- 70 countries to 106 countries. non-US users up 422% year over year. Latin America. Africa. Southeast Asia leading adoption
- enterprise acceleration at 400% YoY
- in a country with 30% annual currency devaluation a dollar-pegged stablecoin isn't incrementally better than local banking

Tokens on Solana (new X)

I made a "should I be trading?" dashboard.

Scores the market across 5 pillars:
- volatility (put/call ratio, vix, positioning)
- trend (spx vs 20d, 50d, 200d ma's)
- breadth (advancing/declining, nas highs/lows)
- momentum (sector leaders, laggards, % participation)
- macro (fomc, rates, geopolitics)

Each is weighted, combined, and averaged to give me a score for the current environment.

Basically a yes, no, or stay small.

Sometimes I just need someone (or something) to remind me to stay out.

the $DXY strengthening and $XAU during this conflict is one of those things thats paradoxical

in this post i will share my views on both

everyone's first instinct is war is bad therefore dollar should weaken, i think that framing is very wrong.

the dollar strengthens because three completely separate forces hitting simultaneously

let me walk through how I actually think about this

the DXY, or U.S. Dollar Index, is a real-time chart that tracks the performance of the U.S. dollar against a basket of six major world currencies.

these include:

Euro (EUR) – ~57.6% weight
Japanese Yen (JPY) – ~13.6%
British Pound (GBP) – ~11.9%
Canadian Dollar (CAD) – ~9.1%
Swedish Krona (SEK) – ~4.2%
Swiss Franc (CHF) – ~3.6%

1) USD being a safe haven asset

geopolitical shock → investors want the most liquid defensive asset → that's still the dollar regardless of what you think about America's long term fiscal position

2) the oil mechanism is the one that's more interesting and more durable
crude spikes because Hormuz disruption risk and Iranian supply is directly threatened.

what most miss is that,higher oil doesn't hurt everyone equally. the US is now energy resilient in a way it wasn't in 1973 or even 2008. Europe imports 60%+ of its energy. Japan imports 75%+ of its oil through Hormuz specifically. the Japanese PM already said closure exhausts reserves in 8-9 months

so when oil spikes the euro gets hammered. the yen gets hammered. and DXY is heavily weighted toward exactly those two currencies

DXY rising means euro and yen are weaker faster a brutal story for dollar alternatives right now

3) then the Fed mechanism compounds everything

oil up → inflation risk reprices higher → markets cut Fed rate cut expectations → US yields stay firm or rise → dollar becomes more attractive on a yield differential basis

war → oil → inflation → fewer cuts → yields → dollar. that's the chain i think we are trading

gold and dollar both rising simultaneously is the thing that confuses people most. normally they're inversely correlated. but in this specific context, geopolitical fear PLUS inflation fear simultaneously, both get bid at the same time. gold gets the fear bid. dollar gets the yield and liquidity bid. they can coexist when the driver is this specific combination

the reversal path is only de-escalation

de-escalation → oil cools → inflation fear eases → Fed cuts reprice back in → euro/yen recover → DXY softens → risk assets breathe

however, de-escalation requires both sides to want it. and as I've mentioned before the Iranian payoff matrix doesn't maximize survival. it values martyrdom. the party that needs de-escalation most is the one with the least leverage to demand it

which means this macro threat, dollar bid, oil elevated, risk assets under pressure, could persist longer than the market is currently pricing

i keep seeing the market price in hope of de-escalation, and each time the dollar gives back some of its gains, and then the conflict re-escalates and the whole chain reasserts itself.

that stop-start pattern is itself a tradeable signal if you understand the underlying game theory
