The reason the rich can get richer is because they don’t need to sell their real estate or stocks. They can borrow fiat money backed by their assets and live on that. They can hence print money out of thin air which also makes normal people’s money worth less.

In 2015, on a college campus in California, a student named Charles Wayn was busy connecting clothing designers with retail stores through a small, self-made platform. At that time, he had no idea that he would become one of the important figures in the Web3 world. But life often doesn’t follow the map, right? After completing his studies at the University of California, Berkeley, Charles had a career in the fashion industry. He even helped found a fashion incubator community in China. However, it was after that that his life direction changed completely. He switched to the world of streaming and blockchain, a leap that, if you think about it, might sound pretty crazy to the layman. On the other hand, this decision led him to found DLive — a blockchain-based streaming platform that was later acquired by BitTorrent in 2019. DLive was once the largest live streaming platform running on blockchain technology. After the acquisition, Charles served as Vice President of Interactive Entertainment at BitTorrent, managing a number of streaming-based entertainment business units. Despite being in a strategic position, Charles didn’t stop there. He felt that there was still a large untapped space in the blockchain ecosystem, especially regarding digital identity. So in 2021, together with his team, he launched Galxe — formerly known as Project Galaxy. What is Galxe? Think of it as a blockchain version of a loyalty and membership system. The project allows Web3 developers and communities to design campaigns based on identity and credentials on-chain. Instead of just giving random rewards, Galxe encourages a more structured and relevant system, a kind of “digital badge” that records the history of user contributions. To date, Galxe has served over 25 million users and collaborated with over 4,000 major Web3 projects, including Polygon and Arbitrum. After successfully building a loyalty ecosystem, Charles and the Galxe team began to explore a deeper area: blockchain infrastructure itself. In 2024, they launched Gravity — a Layer-1 blockchain focused on cross-chain interoperability. The concept is simple, but the impact is big: it makes it easier for users to interact between blockchains without having to worry about different gas fees or confusing wallet technicalities. Gravity is designed to be more accessible to ordinary users, who have long felt that blockchain technology is “too technical.” In the middle of many blockchains that are like separate islands, Gravity tries to be a bridge — without making the bridge difficult to cross. However, Charles’ focus doesn’t stop there. In 2025, he began actively talking about the integration of artificial intelligence into Web3. According to him, in the future there will be many “intelligent agents”—a kind of AI personal assistant—that can manage our crypto wallets, make trading decisions, and even manage participation in DAOs automatically. This concept sounds like a cross between a financial advisor robot and a personal investment manager — only working 24/7, never sleeping, and drinking coffee. The question now is, is everyone ready to hand over control to such an AI? Charles himself is quite optimistic. For him, the data analyzed by AI is much broader and faster than human intuition. He imagines a future where users don’t have to bother reading hundreds of pages of whitepapers just to know which projects are worth supporting. Charles Wayn’s journey is not just about project after project. It’s about how someone who was initially busy connecting designers with boutiques, now connects millions of users to a decentralized digital ecosystem. He proves that background does not always determine the future and that an interest in small things can lead someone to big changes. He doesn’t always talk about complicated technology, but more about user experience, simplicity, and clarity of function. Maybe that’s what makes him relevant — and makes his story worth following.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, the parent company of Japan’s second-largest bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, plans to launch its own stablecoin. The stablecoin project, according to a report published on April 1, 2025 by Nikkei, will be a collaboration between the banking giant and crypto projects Avalanche ( AVAX ) and Fireblocks. Specifically, the report highlights that SMBC is teaming up with Ava Labs, the developer team behind the Avalanche blockchain. SMBC’s reported stablecoin venture follows a prior move in 2024 that involved the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and two other Japanese financial services and banking behemoths, the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and the Mizuho Financial Group. The partners were said to be eyeing a pilot for a cross-border stablecoin transfer venture, set to involve Progmat and Datachain. In the latest report, Nikkei says SMBC will join forces with Japan -based information technology firm TIS. The partnership aims to conduct trials for the new stablecoin project in the fourth quarter of 2025 or early 2026. If successful, live issuance is expected to follow later in the year. SMBC, like other banks turning to stablecoins for improved functionality and instant money transfers, is not new to the blockchain space. In February 2019, the bank’s tech team completed a blockchain proof of concept for payment commitments on Marco Polo trade finance, a platform developed by R3. SMBC was part of a consortium that included Commerzbank, BNP Paribas, Anglo-Gulf Trade Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and Danske Bank. On the back of the R3 Marco Polo trade initiative, SMBC inched further into the blockchain ecosystem with another deal. It sought to digitize its trade finance offering with a blockchain touch, this time joining hands with Singapore-based Contour in July 2020. These efforts have now evolved into stablecoin development, which is drawing increasing interest across the financial services industry. This includes major banks like JPMorgan and Citi, which have made significant strides using permissioned blockchains.

President Trump has said April 2nd will be 'Liberation Day' when it comes to tariffs. Expectation is that a bunch of tariffs will go live tomorrow - which is what the market seems to be on edge about. Let's clear up that uncertainty - once the market knows what its dealing

Kentucky has dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase over staking services, becoming the third U.S. state to roll back legal action against the exchange in recent months. On March 31, the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions filed a joint stipulation of dismissal, officially ending its case that accused Coinbase of offering unregistered securities through its staking program. Following the move, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal took to X, calling for federal clarity. “Congress needs to end this litigation-driven, state-by-state approach with a federal market structure law ASAP,” he wrote . Kentucky’s exit follows similar dismissals by Vermont and South Carolina. Vermont backed out on March 14, citing the dismissal of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s federal case and the need for clearer nationwide rules. The SEC itself set the tone earlier this year when it voluntarily dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase on Feb. 27. The agency said the move would help support its broader efforts to rethink and reshape how it approaches crypto regulation. South Carolina followed Vermont and dismissed its case just days later, with Grewal noting at the time that local users lost around $2 million in staking rewards due to the ban. Within hours after the suit was dropped, the exchange confirmed that staking was live again in South Carolina across all access points. A group of ten states originally targeted Coinbase in June 2023 after the SEC sued the exchange. At the time, regulators argued that Coinbase’s staking program was essentially an unregistered securities offering since users earned rewards by delegating their tokens through the platform. As of now, seven states, namely California, New Jersey, Illinois, Washington, Alabama, Maryland, and Wisconsin, still have pending actions against Coinbase. Kentucky dropped the Coinbase lawsuit less than a week after Governor Andy Beshear signed the state’s “Bitcoin Rights” bill into law. It secures the right to self-custody, allows residents to run blockchain nodes, and shields mining operations from discriminatory regulations. Lawmakers are also weighing a separate proposal that would let the state allocate up to 10% of its excess reserves into Bitcoin.
