Cardano (ADA), a layer-1 network of some repute, has slipped into the abyss, down over 80% from its December 2024 zenith and 91% from its all-time high. Such is the fate of those who dare to dream in the crypto wilderness. Even the launch of CME futures and the impending Midnight mainnet debut could not stem the tide of despair. The futures, a gift to American investors, were but a fleeting distraction from the inevitable.
Thanks to the recent passing of something called the GENIUS Act-because who doesn’t want to feel genius while spending their digital dollars?-stablecoins have become the darling of payments everywhere. It’s almost like they’ve been knighted by the financial royal family.

Behold, the orator Uyeda, at the Asset Management Derivatives Forum, proclaimed with a flourish that the market’s players are no longer merely dabbling in blockchain but treating it as the backbone of finance. Imagine, if you will, a world where stocks and funds prance about on-chain, no longer confined to the dusty ledgers of yore!
Now, Changpeng Zhao, or CZ as he’s affectionately known in the crypto trenches, has had just about enough of this nonsense.
