Crypto Daily 4/5. Sorry for no crypto daily yesterday. I fell asleep on the couch watching Remember The Titans with @maaria (incredible movie if you haven't watched). Heres your stories of the day:

-The SEC announced that stablecoins backed by stable currencies, commodities, or high-quality liquid assets are not securities requiring registration. Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-04/sec-says-stablecoins-aren-t-securities-that-require-registration

-Stablecoin firm Circle is considering delaying its IPO due to economic uncertainty caused by President Trump's new trade tariffs. Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/stablecoin-circle-may-pause-ipo-plans

-Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino revealed the company is considering launching a new US-compliant stablecoin rather than adapting USDT to meet pending American regulations. Source: https://decrypt.co/313442/tether-usdt-us-laws-needs-new-stablecoin-ceo

Remember the titans is really the greatest movie ever. Crypto daily is also pretty sweet.

Crypto is down across the board YTD with the exception of stablecoins. 

in terms of market cap, USDT is +4% YTD and USDC Is +37%. 

combined market cap of these 2 is ~75bps of the total 2.77T crypto market cap (small), but still very exciting that stablecoin adoption continues to rise despite price declines

Open source software has historically only gotten 5% of venture funding, but has created over $2,000 of value for every $1 invested!!! 

Insane ROI.

Don’t sleep on open source.

One of my favorite Cypherpunk quotes was written by Duncan Frissell in 1994:

"Software has a wonderful property, the Cypherpunks are fond of saying: Once it's created, it can never be destroyed.  It can be copied infinitely, from computer to computer, spreading like a secret. Come what may, unbreakable Cypherpunk code, and Cypherpunk networks, will be out there forever, they hope."

From the Visa onchain stablecoin project:

Did you know that the NSA allegedly installed a backdoor into banking software in the 1980s that allowed it to passively monitor fund flows on SWIFT?? 

They did this through stolen software which was then also sold to drug traffickers, allowing said traffickers to launder drug money directly through the banking system

not a dude. crypto is such a weird and fun place.
