crypto neobanks still aren’t giving people a real banking experience, especially in cash-dominated regions.

the daily ATM withdrawal limits are just awful:

• Etherfi $250
• Tria $750
• Kast $750
• MetaMask $1k

then there’s RedotPay (US BIN) with a $100k ATM withdrawal limit.

how did they pull that off?

Pump Fun just surpassed Hyperliquid in 7-day revenue.

It's now a top 4 crypto app by revenue.

It's insane how much money Pump earns from memecoin trading in a bear market.

1> Asides the recent drama around phantom wallet leaving @monad, I think there's just another thing worth paying attention to on monad right now

Capital isn't just flowing into isolated protocols. It's flowing through a shared stablecoin layer that connects @aave's credit market and @pendle_fi's yield market into one composable stack

Monad just crossed ATH in tvl and yes the infrastructure is forming faster than anything I've tracked recently on a new L1

🧵

in the coming week, we will see huge volatility for the yen, as the states buys more yen.

for decades, usd/jpy largely followed the us–japan yield gap.

that relationship weakened after april 2025 as trade-war volatility made carry trades less attractive even with wide rate differentials.

japan is now being priced through a more complicated mix of fiscal credibility, boj normalization, inflation and capital flows.

- japanese yields are rising as inflation, wages and expectations normalize.
- the boj still owns roughly half of outstanding jgbs, while its purchases are slowing.
- that means higher rates increasingly translate into a real fiscal cost rather than just monetary-policy normalization.

at the same time, corporate japan looks structurally healthier than sovereign japan.

profits are strong, shareholder activism has surged, foreign ownership is around one-third of the equity market, and large caps have materially rerated.

that creates a divergence: bullish corporate japan, more cautious on the yen and japanese duration.

there is also an important counterpoint to the fiscal-bear case.

japan still has the world’s largest positive net international investment position and enormous foreign asset holdings. so this is not a conventional external funding crisis.

1> On Aave’s H1 Structural Reset

H1 2026 was different for @aave. Three structural decisions landed that permanently change how the protocol captures value, who it serves, and how capital flows through it

⇲ Economics & governance (Aave Will Win)
⇲ V4 Architecture
⇲ Token value accrual (Aavenomics 3.0)

This is the reset that actually matters 🧵

coldcard, what actually happened

- ~1,367 BTC was swept from 4,585 addresses, worth roughly $89m at the time.

- this was not AI or brute force. the affected seeds were generated with weak, predictable randomness.

- the bug came from a 2021 firmware path. @COLDCARDwallet intended to use hardware randomness, but a configuration check routed seed generation through a non-cryptographic PRNG instead.

- that means attackers could recreate candidate seeds, rather than guess a true 128/256-bit BIP-39 seed.

- Mk2/Mk3 were most exposed. Mk4/Mk5/Q were also affected, although researchers disagree on exactly how much entropy remained.

- firmware updates alone are not enough. if your seed was generated under affected firmware, you need a new seed and must move funds.

- the key lesson here is that air-gapped ≠ trustless. keeping a wallet offline does nothing if the key was weak from the moment it was created.

- open source also did not save users. the bug sat publicly visible for years without being caught.
