👸 Casascius Coins just moved for the first time in 13 years!

Two transactions of 1,000 BTC each were made from these legendary physical bitcoins

Casascius Coins are physical collectibles created back in 2011 - real metal coins with a hologram hiding a private key

To access the BTC inside, the owner must peel off the hologram, revealing the key and making the coin just a piece of metal while the BTC moves on-chain

There are only 17 known holders, controlling around 36,467 BTC still sealed inside these coins.

From +2600% to -86%: the “hottest” crypto-treasury trade has blown up.

Companies that stuffed their balance sheets with BTC and ETH massively outperformed at the start… and then saw their stocks crater as the market realized the business itself wasn’t generating real cash flow.

On average, these “digital asset treasuries” are down ~43% this year, with some names nuked more than 99% despite still holding valuable tokens.

Investors have shifted from “number go up” to “show me the earnings”: token bags don’t pay coupons or dividends, while the debt and preferreds issued to finance those bags still need servicing.

Lesson for the next cycle: holding volatile assets on corporate balance sheets is leverage on the way up – and a brutal mismatch between hard liabilities and speculative treasury assets on the way down.

🌐 A few years ago, “on‑chain credit” mostly meant wrapping old loans in a token and calling it innovation.

Now the infrastructure itself is finally moving on‑chain.

Delphi’s new report spotlights PACT as the first protocol that actually rebuilds the 300T+ global credit stack on‑chain instead of just tokenizing legacy paper, with a focus on emerging markets where overhead can eat more than 20% of the interest rate.
