K33 Research flags Trump memecoin's 'horrendous' tokenomics but highlights no immediate supply concerns Launched less than 72 hours before his inauguration, the Official Trump memecoin quickly soared to a $14.5 billion market cap, before pulling back to a current value of $8.4 billion. "Official Trump tokenomics are poor, but with no unlocks for 3 months, there is a decent stretch without worry of new supply," K33 Research DeFi analyst David Zimmerman said in a report on Wednesday. Currently, 20% of the Official Trump supply is in circulation. Half of this circulating supply was allocated for liquidity, while the other half was offered to the public. The remaining 80% is locked and will be released gradually over a 36-month period. These locked tokens are divided among six entities, labeled “Creators and CIC Digital 1-6.” https://www.theblock.co/post/336340/k33-research-flags-trump-memecoins-horrendous-tokenomics-but-highlights-no-immediate-supply-concerns

Dogecoin ETF in 2025 a Possibility as TradFi Warms to Meme Coins: Wintermute No asset manager has yet filed for a spot Dogecoin ETF in the U.S but that hasn't stopped some from speculating its imminent debut. The growth of crypto-focused ETFs is expected to accelerate this year, with one seminal meme coin tapped as the likeliest candidate to lead the charge. “In 2025, a core asset manager will launch a meme coin ETF…Our money’s on DOGE,” crypto trading firm Wintermute wrote in a Friday report. Traditional financial institutions showed a notable interest in trading meme coins last year, with Solana-based tokens Dogwifhat (WIF), BONK (BONK), and PONKE (PONKE) driving Wintermute’s Over-the-Counter (OTC) market share growth from 0.3% in 2023 to 5.1% in 2024, it wrote. https://decrypt.co/301428/dogecoin-etf-in-2025-possibility-wintermute

BRETT memecoin explained: Why is everyone talking about it? What is BRETT memecoin? The official mascot of the Base blockchain, BRETT memecoin, is inspired by a character named Brett from the “Boys Club” comic. This is the same series that introduced the iconic Pepe the Frog. The character Brett is known for his peculiar video game-loving persona. The token’s association with the comic is just for entertainment and isn’t official. https://cointelegraph.com/explained/brett-memecoin-explained-why-is-everyone-talking-about-it

Bank of Namibia grants provisional licenses to two crypto exchanges Namibia’s central bank has granted the first set of provisional licenses to two cryptocurrency exchanges. According to local media, citing a recent media statement from the regulator, the Bank of Namibia has granted provisional authorization to Mindex Virtual Asset Exchange (Pty) Ltd. and Landifa Bitcoin Trade CC to operate as virtual asset service providers. However, they won’t be able to offer services to the public until they receive final approval from the central bank. The provisional licenses, valid for six months, allow the companies to establish their operations, hire staff, and set up the required infrastructure. Final approval will only be granted if the companies meet all requirements mandated by the central bank. https://crypto.news/bank-of-namibia-grants-provisional-licenses-to-two-crypto-exchanges/

The $750bn reason why Bitcoin’s rally isn’t ‘close to being done’ - Donald Trump-linked jitters have pulled back crypto markets. - Those fears are “overblown,” analysts say. Bitcoin’s not had a great start of 2025, but its fortunes are about to change. That’s according to the London Crypto Club’s latest newsletter, in which the authors predict that a wave of liquidity will flood the market and spur the price to a record. “All roads lead to Bitcoin. This bull market is not close to being done,” wrote David Brickell, head of international distribution at FRNT Financial, and former forex trader Chris Mills. The comments come as the crypto market retracted in early January. https://www.dlnews.com/articles/markets/why-the-bitcoin-rally-is-not-close-to-being-done/

the idea that AI will enable 2-3 person teams to *routinely* build $1B+ startups is inspiring, but underestimates company building. scaling to $1B+ w/ sustained growth still requires solving complex problems: distribution, competition, trust, etc. the small teams that do it will still be “unicorns”, not the norm.

Grayscale adjusts large cap fund increasing Bitcoin and Ethereum allocations to 90% Grayscale fund review raises Bitcoin and Ethereum weightings as Cardano replaces Avalanche. Grayscale Investments raised Bitcoin and Ethereum allocations to a combined 90% in its Digital Large Cap Fund during its Q4 2024 rebalancing. Bitcoin maintains a 73.52% share, while Ethereum holds 16.16% of the portfolio. The asset manager removed Avalanche from the fund and added Cardano with a 1.44% allocation. XRP and Solana maintain positions of 5.05% and 3.83%, respectively. The changes follow Cardano’s 75% price increase over the past year, while Avalanche showed weaker performance during the same period. The rebalancing, which follows CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index methodology, extended to several other Grayscale products. https://cryptobriefing.com/grayscale-fund-rebalancing-bitcoin-ethereum/

very soon we will cancel all recurring subscriptions to @super will take a short term revenue hit but i'm confident it is the right way forward why? - everyone hates getting a random recurring receipt for shit they didnt use - lost of customer support problems to solve when people accidentally subscribe too many times or they lost access to the app while paying - recurring $10/mo massively undercharges whales and is very predatory to people for who $10/mo is a lot of money ideally: - we don't charge anyone who didn't get value from the app and $10 really matters to them - we allow wealthy members to spend infinite $$$ on @super (like legend @wake who paid for 5 years of membership ahead) we have some great ideas, cancelling the recurring sub is first step to implement them
