These new “things” apparently went live this Tuesday. A Tuesday! Like anyone was holding their breath.
In a remote chat from New York at a crypto event hosted by Upbit in Seoul (you know, casual international video calls, no big deal), Eric Trump dropped some serious predictions about the digital asset game.

On the fateful Monday, 08 September, the announcement came, as grand as a proclamation from the Master and Margarita’s ball. The world’s first Worldcoin treasury strategy was born, with the purchase of 171,232,877 shares at $1.46 per share. And who should grace this occasion but Dan Ives, the Global Head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities, now crowned Chairman of the Board of Directors.

On a Monday that shall henceforth be remembered as “The Day of the Bold Proposal,” Sky’s co-founder, Rune Christensen, unveiled his project’s bid with the flourish of a courtier presenting a jewel to the tsar. “Behold,” he proclaimed, “with Sky’s might, USDH shall rise, a stablecoin of unparalleled yield, rivaling even the vaunted US treasury bills!” 🏰💰
Whales have been busy flexing sell vibes on Ethena [ENA], sliding a whopping 34 million ENA-worth a casual $22.65 million-into Binance over the last two weeks. That’s like dropping your yacht keys in the harbor and hoping someone fishes them out.
The stablecoin, whimsically baptized USDm-because why not sprinkle a little mystique?-is co-conceived with Ethena, a formidable algorithmic stablecoin behemoth boasting a $13 billion treasure trove in total value locked (TVL). This alliance will breathe life into USDm atop Ethena’s USDtb infrastructure, which, in turn, plays the financial puppeteer managing reserves funneled into BlackRock’s BUIDL-a tokenized US Treasury bill fund, lounging comfortably with a $2.2 billion market cap and a yield as steady as your grandma’s knitting.
