INTERESTING: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat says there should be a dialogue with Gen Z, says the protestors are not ‘anti national’, an Andolan is legitimate as long as it is within the law. Says the grievances are ‘genuine’. Just days ago, another RSS functionary called CJP’s movement ‘anti-national’ and ‘anti Constitution’. So who does one believe? 🙏

Interesting to see how different vault infrastructure attracts different asset classes. Morpho is the largest vault infrastructure provider in aggregate, holding ~65% of all tracked vault deposits. For stablecoins specifically, 82% of USDC and 84% of USDT deposits sit in Morpho vaults. If we instead look at non-stablecoins, Veda has carved out a spot currently as the top choice for wrapped L1 assets. 42% of WETH and 73% of WBTC sit in Veda vaults. This result tracks with Veda's ability to access a wider yield opportunity set. WETH and WBTC generally don't earn high yields through lending alone, so vaults that can allocate beyond lending markets have an edge with these assets.

Interesting analysis of the legal landscape in the EU applying to "the convergence of AI and industrial machinery". "Europe’s industrial strategy depends on deploying AI-enabled robotics at scale. Workforce gaps are widening, manufacturing competitiveness is under pressure, and automation remains the most credible answer — yet manual work still dominates high-value discrete manufacturing despite centuries of incremental progress. Regulatory uncertainty risks becoming the very thing that slows adoption at precisely the moment Europe can least afford it."

Interesting WSJ piece on how Las Vegas being a luxury destination has destroyed the cheap buffet. In 2019, 28% of visitors were from six-figure-income households and it's now 75%. The cheap buffet has either disappeared or become $80.

Interesting to see how mathematician Terence Tao is using ChatGPT to understand Jacobian conjecture counterexample Shows how you need a lot of domain expertise to ask the right questions

Interesting how the narrative has shifted on Instagram. Many who initially supported Wangchuk’s movement are now admitting that a protest they believed was for students has been overtaken by violent anti-social elements. The change is clearly visible in the comments under the reels. When violence takes over, public sympathy fades.

interesting indicator on a possible bottom on sol-eco memes and upcoming green months: this is the @Pumpfun top 15 coins listed by highest mcap. as we can see, only a couple are less than 1y old, including $ANSEM and $TripleT from the others, a few are irrelevant tokens with no lore or anything else. and a few are tokens doomed to go to zero due to expired interest from new market players quietly, with sol at $75, we have a couple new coins moving up the ladder and their mcap to ATH ratio is bullish: $TripleT climbing while hitting ATH; $ANSEM at number 1 while capturing the majority of the mindshare in and outside of CT i expect this list to slowly be replaced and coins like triplet breaking the top 5 soon
