Google searches for "crypto" have dropped to a multi-year low

Some believe everyone has simply become aware of crypto, while others believe such low levels are typically seen before a rally 😏

💳 Just read through Stacy Muur ’s comprehensive neobank comparison and decided to finally get my hands on the Ether .Fi card

Here’s why it stood out:

The combination of non-custodial control (“your keys = your assets”), genuine 3% instant cashback on every purchase, and the ability to spend directly from $ETH, $BTC, and stablecoins without forced conversions was too good to pass up

Plus, the “Never Sell” spending feature means I can borrow against $eETH collateral without liquidating my positions

The process was seamless:

• KYC took minutes – straightforward verification, no drama
• Card activation happened quickly – once approved, it’s ready to use globally
• Apple Pay connected instantly – already using it everywhere
• Cashback lands automatically – currently in $SCR tokens with rewards compounds

What makes it stand out in the landscape:

Looking at the neobank map, Ether .Fi sits in a sweet spot: competitive 3% cashback (comparable to Plasma One’s 4%), but with non-custodial architecture (unlike Crypto .com, Coinbase, or Gemini), zero transaction fees, and access to crypto-native borrowing features

The 7% APY on $ETH holdings while your card is active means your balance keeps working for you

Current boost: They’re running a triple rewards campaign – stack the base 3% cashback + 2% in $ETHFI tokens + referral bonuses. That’s meaningful daily value

Use it and maybe grab some extra rewards along the way – and thanks for sticking with the daily crypto insights I drop for you!

🔼 A brief history of the transition to energy currency. Link.

For more than two years, a single thought has been forming in my mind:
Energy - not bitcoin, not yuan, not a return to gold - might be the next global reserve unit of value.

💵 Want to know how a system can unlock interaction between $2T in digital assets?

Unlike traditional bridges that only connect two networks, Beyond implements a unique three-way bridge concept

And here's exactly how it works 👇

• Entry into Bitcoin Ecosystem:

You can transfer major digital assets (USDT, ETH, SOL) from 70+ blockchains directly onto Bitcoin L1 in your preferred formats - BRC-20, Runes, or Taproot Assets

• Exit from Bitcoin:

You can move Bitcoin-native assets (BTC, BRC-20, Runes like ORDI or DOG) to any of 100+ supported networks, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, BNBChain

• Intra-ecosystem Conversion:

You can seamlessly switch between different Bitcoin token standards (e.g., BRC-20 ⇔ Runes) without ever leaving Bitcoin L1

So if you're tired of Bitcoin being locked in its own world while everyone else is trading across chains, this is the infrastructure that finally breaks those walls down

Elon Musk believes that money will disappear in the future – and its revenge could take energy:

«Perhaps there will be no money at all in the future. Or there will be money, but it can be measured in watts. For example, how much energy can be produced in terms of electricity»

Our friends set the pace: dYdX is rolling out zero maker and taker fees on BTC and SOL perpetuals all November!

Fee-free trading on Solana markets and the upcoming spot launch shows how closely dYdX is aligning with the Solana ecosystem

Right now, you can trade BTC and SOL perps with no platform fees, in addition to joining ongoing prize pools and leagues this month

🧙‍♀️ I think many have wondered how convenient it would be if Bitcoin had something like ERC-20

Beyond solves the problem of fragmentation in the Bitcoin ecosystem, where more than 15 different token standards exist but no single dominant format like on Ethereum

The protocol supports:

• BRC-20 (an Ordinals-based standard)
• Runes (a more efficient UTXO-compatible standard)
• Taproot Assets
• Atomicals
• Fractal

Users can convert tokens between these standards directly on Bitcoin L1 through the "Forge" mechanism:

🏭 Tokens are locked, burned, and reissued in the target format after the transaction is confirmed on the network
