Coinbase is leveling up. In a bold move to support the next generation of onchain builders, Coinbase has announced the acquisition of Liquifi, the industry-leading token management platform trusted by teams like Uniswap Foundation, Optimism, and Zora.

This strategic acquisition strengthens Coinbase’s vision of becoming the go-to one-stop shop for crypto-native businesses. By integrating Liquifi’s powerful tools—cap table automation, vesting, and compliance—Coinbase is set to simplify token launches for early-stage teams and reduce friction at every step.

Stay tuned as Coinbase transforms the token launch experience—making it faster, more compliant, and ready for the next billion users.

📜 Senate Passes Trump’s Budget - Crypto Left Out in the Cold

Despite Donald Trump’s previously strong pro-crypto rhetoric, his sweeping new budget bill - dubbed the “big, beautiful bill” - passed the Senate with zero mention of crypto.

🔍 No Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Blockchain in Sight
The 1,000+ page bill includes no references to "digital assets," "crypto," "web3," or "blockchain"—a notable omission given the growing significance of the sector.

🧾 Crypto-Friendly Proposals Shut Out
Pro-crypto voices, like Senator Cynthia Lummis, pushed for changes to how mining and staking rewards are taxed, arguing the current system results in double taxation. However, these proposals were ultimately excluded from the final version.

🚫 Why It Matters:
This silence may signal hesitation from lawmakers to enshrine crypto into broader financial legislation—despite public support and sector growth. It’s a sobering moment for the industry and a reminder that regulatory clarity remains far from guaranteed.

📊 Bitcoin’s Realized Market Cap Surges - Underlying Demand Remains Strong

Amid price volatility, Bitcoin’s fundamentals are showing serious strength. The realized market cap—a key metric tracking actual capital inflows—has jumped by $145 billion in the first half of 2025, now sitting at $958 billion.

🔥 Key Insights:

• Realized cap rise signals genuine buyer interest, even as spot prices fluctuate.

• Analysts see this trend as an indicator of market resilience and investor confidence.

• Unlike speculative metrics, realized cap reflects actual invested capital.

💬 “The rise in Bitcoin’s realized market cap signals a robust underlying demand, even amidst fluctuating prices.”
— Arthur Hayes, Former CEO of BitMEX

📈 Historically, such realized cap increases have preceded sustained bullish momentum. While Ethereum and other altcoins haven’t shown the same strength, Bitcoin continues to lead in capital accumulation.

🧠 Why it matters:
Realized market cap may offer a clearer lens into Bitcoin’s true market health, potentially hinting at long-term bullish trends forming beneath short-term noise.
