Companies named include Bracket.Game, a crypto-powered sports fan game; Sidequest, which uses computer vision to reward real-world actions; Ponder, a survey platform that rewards responders with tokens; and Xhibit, a style and self-discovery product. The cohort runs for three months.

Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, was found guilty by a Manhattan jury of running an unlicensed money transmission business, while jurors could not reach a verdict on the money laundering and sanctions charges. The article argues that prosecuting a developer over how people use privacy software sets a worrying precedent for open-source development. It cites the government's claim that bad actors, including North Korean hackers, used Tornado Cash to launder over $1 billion, a figure later revised to $660.5M, and notes that the Ethereum Foundation has pledged up to $500,000 toward Storm's legal defense.

A satirical guide by the newsletter writer "c" explains how to gain "aura" in crypto through vague bios, riddles, strategic disappearance and scarcity-based clout farming, and concludes that the game is unwinnable. The issue also covers Robinhood's announcement at EthCC of tokenized OpenAI and SpaceX equity, which OpenAI disavowed, saying it did not partner with Robinhood or endorse the products. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said the tokens "are not technically equity," and social betting app Kizzy reports 70,000 weekly active users placing an average of 42 bets per month.

Seed Club's weekly newsletter, written by c, rounds up consumer crypto news, including Zora's upgrade that brings secondary markets onchain via Uniswap. Zora's protocol upgrade makes its ERC1155 tokens wrappable into ERC20s so they can be traded on Uniswap after mints close, and it also adds creator rewards for all secondary sales and cuts the mint fee from ✧777 to ✧111. The newsletter's writer says the first drop, 'Limitless', started trading like a memecoin after the upgrade, and that the change could increase profit potential for minters while still supporting creators.

It also features Bags, a coming-soon social trading messenger whose team includes DeGods co-founder Finn and Hunter Isaacson, who has built apps totaling 300+ million downloads.

This is a newsletter-style crypto roundup, not a single news report, and its central thread is that Truth Terminal, an AI agent on Twitter created by Andy Ayrey, has turned AI-linked memecoins into a new kind of token. The text says the bot received $50,000 in Bitcoin from Marc Andreessen in July, endorsed a "Goat" token, grew its holdings to $500,000, and became the first "millionaire" AI agent, with the $GOAT token at a market cap of nearly $700 million. The roundup also covers Moxie, a Farcaster-based protocol with 12M+ fan tokens bought by around 7,000 users, and World Chain, which went live with 15M World ID holders migrating to it.

This newsletter argues that crypto is moving toward becoming largely invisible to users, and it cites several recent developments as evidence. It describes FWB FEST in Idyllwild, California, where Base enabled hundreds of USDC transactions during the event, and it highlights Ty Haney's TYB, which rewards fan activity for Outdoor Voices without users seeing blockchain. It also credits the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act, along with an SEC liquid staking statement, for regulatory clarity, and it presents Kizzy, a Monad-based prediction market for social media metrics, which its team built on testnet.

This is a crypto newsletter edition that frames the crypto scene as a modern version of Salem-style witch hunts and then covers several projects. It profiles Reka, a former veterinarian at RiscZero whose Boundless protocol aims to connect compute providers across chains, and whose berry-themed ZK branding drew 1.5M NFT mints in 48 hours. It also covers Base App, which embeds earning into posting and chatting, and Farcaster's Collectibles, which sell posts as 1-of-1 NFTs through 24-hour auctions starting at $1.

Robinhood used its "to catch a token" event at ETHCC in Cannes to announce tokenized stocks and ETFs for European users, starting with 200 names including Apple and Tesla, trading commission-free 24/7. The announcements also included tokenized private company shares such as SpaceX and OpenAI and Robinhood Chain, a layer 2 built with Arbitrum's technology, with Arbitrum receiving 10% of sequencer fees. The author argues that Ethereum benefits from Robinhood's choice of Arbitrum, and that Ethereum's infrastructure focus, rather than memecoin activity, is why traditional finance chose it.

This is a crypto-culture newsletter-style roundup, with no single central news event. Its main thrust is that crypto projects and platforms are increasingly turned into financial or performance spectacles, with content, news and speculation treated as tradeable liquidity. It cites X's announced "official prediction market partner" deal with Polymarket, pump.fun's reported $1B token sale at a $4B valuation, and Plasma's sidechain pre-deposits that filled a $500M cap in seconds, with Founders Fund named as an investor. It also covers shl0ms' art-style stunts and a day trader's "big tone candle" anecdote.

This is a crypto newsletter roundup, not a single news story, and its central point is that application-layer tokens and social products are capturing value that L1 chains may not. The newsletter argues that when successful apps launch their own tokens and denominate markets in them, L1s risk becoming settlement infrastructure rather than monetary assets, citing Yominet's daily fees exceeding those of a long list of chains per DefiLlama's 24-hour fees page. It also covers Noice, a Farcaster economic layer for micro-tips and paid engagement, Cookie's $COOKIE token, which surged 80%+ after its Snaps launch with a market cap of about $125M versus Kaito's roughly $550M, and Mike Bodge's AUX, a link-curation app where posting costs five attention tokens.

The newsletter's lead item is a personal weekend recap from "c," followed by a roundup of crypto and AI news and commentary. Its main argument is that the DeepSeek market selloff, with Bitcoin dipping below $100K, GPU-focused tokens dropping up to 40%, and NVIDIA shedding 10% pre-market, misses that cheaper, open-source AI could be embedded across crypto platforms. The text names Venice, ai16z, Arc and Virtuals as teams already plugging DeepSeek into their platforms. It also warns that China's centralized system could integrate AI into national infrastructure faster than the West, and it profiles Dev.fun, which bundles AI-prompted development, hosting and memecoin issuance.

It reports that MoonPay acquired Helio for $175M and that Microstrategy bought another 2,530 Bitcoin for $243M. It also summarizes Tyler Cowen's view that AI will add about 0.5% to annual growth over decades, citing bottlenecks in government, healthcare and education that make up roughly half the economy.

This newsletter roundup covers several crypto topics, with its longest section centered on David Phelps's "Fat App Thesis," which argues that attention has shifted from blockchain protocols to the apps built on them. Phelps revisits Joel Monegro's 2016 "Fat Protocol Thesis," which held that protocols would capture more value than apps, and says that view has become an obsession treating chains as untouchable. He cites Polymarket, pump dot fun and Hyperliquid as apps delivering real value without relying on token speculation. Other items in the roundup include Staking $HYPE going live on mainnet and Boyco pre-deposit vaults amassing almost half a billion USD ahead of Berachain's Royco launch.

Bitcoin surpassed $100,000 for the first time, peaking at $104,000, around the time Trump nominated Paul Atkins, described as a crypto degen, to head the SEC. Other developments include Hyperliquid's $1.5B airdrop, described as the biggest in crypto history, Grayscale's Solana ETF filing, and Nike's shutdown of RTFKT. Interface, an onchain social app with a copy-trading feature, reportedly had 100-300 daily active users for about two years before growth picked up.

This newsletter-style roundup covers crypto news from a week in late 2024, including ENS Labs planning a Namechain L2 for domain name service, a Degenchain dispute with infrastructure provider Conduit, and an interview with Kel about memecoins and AI tokens. Degenchain, an L3 built by the DEGEN community, accuses Conduit of mishandling an upgrade that caused a 50-hour outage and a sharp drop in bridging volume, while Conduit says it has supported Degenchain's offboarding efforts, though Degenchain has not signed the offboarding contract. Kel reflects on his "Memecoin Supercycle" thesis from March, saying he underestimated the continuous emergence of new tokens achieving massive gains, and he discusses growing interest in AI tokens such as $ai16z and $zerebro.

Todd denies the allegations, and many were disappointed with the evidence the filmmakers presented. Before the release, memecoins linked to the alleged creators of Bitcoin surged in popularity, with $petertodd edging toward a market cap of about $5M.

This issue of a consumer crypto newsletter centers on Unlonely's move from Base to Solana, which Brian says was driven by a need to serve a specific community. Unlonely announced a shift from a platform-focused app to content creation, and a "Boo" content token will be central to its shows, including a 24-hour livestream on October 30th in an abandoned New York church. Brian argues that each chain has its own culture and that Solana's memecoin culture better fits Unlonely's brand. The issue also covers AI agents and "Software with a Soul," with the newsletter's author presenting these as a shift toward human connection and brands.

Internet Explorers' weekly consumer crypto roundup covers Trump's World Liberty Financial token and SEC enforcement against NFT sales. On a Twitter Space with Rug Radio, Trump outlined WLFI token allocations of 20% to the founding team, 17% to user rewards and 63% for public purchase. The SEC forced a $750k settlement with Flyfish Club over its membership NFT sales, though some of its own commissioners criticized the action, arguing the NFTs had a concrete use and should be utility tokens. OpenSea pledged $5M to help cover legal fees for NFT artists and developers who received SEC Wells notices.

Seed Club's weekly consumer crypto newsletter, written by "c," covers product launches, a Baseline Markets token-buyback mechanism, and the Ethervista DEX, along with commentary on "being early." The roundup reports that the Zora app opened to all users, FriendTech's team revoked control of its contracts to a burn address while saying it has no plans to shut down the app, and EtherFi plans a Visa cash card on the Scroll network offering 3% cash-back. Baseline Markets, whose team previously contributed to Olympus and Yearn, uses an "Afterburner" that fires every 15 minutes to buy back and burn tokens with 2 to 5% of the accumulated balance. The newsletter says Ethervista's VISTA token surged over 40x and has seen about $409K in volume since launch.

Jarrod Dicker of TCG Crypto outlines the consumer crypto paradox: in web2, consumer companies usually delay monetization until they have a large, retained user base, while web3 projects often try to capture fees from launch. Crypto products should instead build sticky, surprising, free-to-play experiences that let users engage before depositing, bridging, or buying crypto, with revenue coming later. Interoperability, where users onboard once and transact across apps, is named as crypto's unique advantage.

It covers several items: Uniswap's KidSuper collaboration, a memecoin launchpad that creates tokens from a single tweet, and Smort's lossless prediction market on Solana using Sactum to create smortSOL. Telegram launched an in-app browser and mini-app store, and Kraken introduced Kraken Labs. A recurring thread is a debate over whether Farcaster should market itself beyond crypto, where Dan Romero argues that broad marketing would be ineffective until the product becomes more compelling to a wider audience.

It covers Zora's new "Sparks" unit for ETH, where 1 ETH equals ✧1,000,000, and two short-memecoin tools, Dumpy.fun and The Arena by MarginFi. Founders Fund led an $11 million round in Pudgy Penguins' parent company, and Abstract launched its testnet. A piece on Polymarket notes it crossed $1 billion in value processed and accounts for about 6% of transaction fees on Polygon, while questioning whether its usage is regular enough to sustain growth.

Time.fun, which lets users buy and sell minutes of people's time on a bonding curve, reported over $1.1M in trading volume 17 hours after launch. The newsletter also says TON has moved from experimentation toward legitimate development, while noting concerns about its reliability and low total value locked, and suggests building natively on other chains for now.

Many newly launched tokens have low floats and high fully diluted valuations because teams release only a small share of total supply, and early holders, usually VCs, often sell into retail demand, pushing prices down. Cobie's point is that most successful coins let retail buy in at low valuations, and $FRIEND is cited as an example of 100% community allocation and fair distribution. The same roundup also reports that Solana outpaced Ethereum in daily economic value generation for the first time.

Four pure play consumer products entered the Top 15 protocols by fees generated last week, with Zora, Friend.tech, Unlonely, Fantasy.Top, Pump.Fun and Sofamon cited as examples, though daily active users remain small at 15k for Pump.fun, 10k for Friend.tech and 1k for Fantasy.Top. Elsewhere, Zora acquired mint.fun from Context, which released rug.fun, and a Dutch court sentenced Alexey Pertsev to five years for laundering $1.2B through Tornado Cash.
