Here’s something interesting Vitalik talked about recently.
He thinks prediction markets today are drifting too much toward what’s “marketable.” A lot of attention goes to events that create hype, but don’t really produce meaningful social information. In other words, too much naive speculation, not enough real utility.
What I found more important is his point about who should actually be using prediction markets.
Right now, most participants are just traders chasing volatility. But he argues the next step is turning prediction markets into real hedging tools.
For example, if you own biotech stocks, you could hedge political risk by taking positions in markets related to elections or regulation that could hurt that sector. That’s not gambling. That’s managing exposure.
He also mentioned a bigger idea: imagine building price indices for major goods and services, even region-specific ones. Then imagine each person or company having a local AI that understands their spending habits. That AI could suggest a personalized basket of prediction market positions that matches your expected future expenses.
In that kind of system, you’re not just holding fiat and hoping inflation doesn’t hurt you. You’re actively hedging your cost of living.
It’s a bold idea.

But it shows how he sees prediction markets — not as betting platforms, but as economic infrastructure.

BNB’s growth has closely followed Binance’s expansion.

Exchange dominance.

Launchpad cycles.

BSC ecosystem growth.

And burn mechanisms reducing supply.

Unlike Bitcoin, BNB is directly tied to an exchange business model.

The question now:

Can BNB break into a sustained four-digit range in this cycle?

Or will it continue moving with exchange-driven momentum?

$BNB

Ecco come si è comportato Bitcoin il 1° gennaio di ogni anno:
2016 — $434

2017 — $998

2018 — $13,657

2019 — $3,843

2020 — $7,200

2021 — $29,374

2022 — $47,686

2023 — $16,625

2024 — $44,167

2025 — $94,419

2026 — circa $90,000

Da meno di $500 nel 2016 a quasi sei cifre nel 2026.

Ogni ciclo ha portato a una volatilità estrema.

Ogni crollo ha resettato il mercato.

Ogni recupero ha spinto la tendenza a lungo termine verso l'alto.

La vera domanda ora:

Bitcoin rimarrà sopra $100,000 nel 2026?

La storia mostra che Bitcoin raramente si muove in linea retta.

Here’s something that might be bigger than it looks.

Morgan Stanley is hiring a senior engineer to lead its blockchain architecture, and the job listing clearly mentions DeFi and tokenization as core focus areas.

That’s not a small detail.

They’re looking for someone who can build scalable, secure, and regulation-compliant systems that bridge traditional banking requirements with digital asset infrastructure.

The tech stack mentioned is also interesting: Ethereum and Polygon on the public side, Canton for institutional-grade privacy.

That suggests a hybrid model.

Public liquidity where it makes sense.

Private infrastructure where compliance matters.

At the same time, Morgan Stanley plans to roll out crypto trading for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana on E*Trade in the first half of 2026.

And they’re not alone.

BlackRock and Fidelity are already pushing hard into tokenization. JPMorgan has been expanding its blockchain teams as well.

This doesn’t look like experimentation anymore.

It looks like production infrastructure.

Wall Street isn’t asking “if” anymore.

They’re building for scale.

Ecco cosa è realmente successo.
Un post ha iniziato a circolare affermando che SBI detiene $10 miliardi in XRP e sta espandendo la sua presenza in Asia attraverso l'acquisizione di Coinhako.
La parte "$10B in XRP" ha rapidamente catturato l'attenzione.
Tuttavia, un dirigente di SBI ha risposto direttamente, affermando che non è corretto dire che possiedono $10 miliardi in XRP stesso. Invece, SBI possiede circa il 9% di Ripple Labs. Questa è una quota di equity nella società, non un possesso diretto di token.
Quella è una distinzione importante.
Possedere token XRP e possedere azioni di Ripple Labs sono due cose molto diverse. Le dinamiche di esposizione sono completamente diverse. L'equity in Ripple può beneficiare della crescita dell'ecosistema, ma non è la stessa cosa che possedere miliardi di XRP on-chain.
