💰 BlackRock’s Blockchain Muni Bonds: Grandpa’s Bond Game Just Got Funky

Move over, sleepy old muni bonds. BlackRock just bet big on a batch of muni bonds living on the blockchain. Yes, the same dusty asset class that your grandpa used to stash under his mattress now has some digital swagger. The logic? Faster settlements, fewer middlemen, and maybe even a splash of sex appeal for what’s historically been the beige cardigan of investments. CryptoEconomy.

World Liberty Financial wants SUSdE — presumably pronounced “sudsie” — to join Aave v3’s stablecoin smorgasbord. As if we needed another acronym-laden token to memorize. Look, if it’s stable, cheap, and doesn’t rug-pull your grandma, go for it? TheStreet.

🌅 Solana’s 66.9 Million Daily Transactions

Solana’s daily transactions just hit a number so big it’s basically wearing a neon sign that says “Look at me, Ethereum!” Sure, 66.9 million sounds impressive, but we all know half of those might be your cousin’s automated trading bots playing hopscotch. Still, beating out the rivals in transaction counts is no joke (even if they’re fake-ish). CryptoSlate.
