🔥 Week of Power Plays: Hollywood Clash, Crypto Breakthroughs, Global Finance Goes On-Chain
This week delivered huge moves across media, crypto, and global finance.
Paramount launched a $108B hostile bid to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, aiming to outmaneuver Netflix’s earlier partial deal. Their message is basically: We’ll pay more, move fast, and keep the full company.
If successful, it could reshape Hollywood, while fueling antitrust debates and concerns about foreign investor influence.
In the US, the CFTC introduced a pilot that allows tokenized assets like BTC, ETH, and USDC to be used as collateral in derivatives markets. This marks a major step toward integrating crypto into regulated institutional finance.
Ethereum also had a moment when Vitalik praised PeerDAS, a breakthrough that boosts networking and data availability, helping Ethereum scale without losing decentralization.
Regulatory momentum is growing globally.
Tether’s USDT was recognized as a fiat-referenced token in Abu Dhabi’s ADGM, giving it stronger legitimacy.
Circle secured an ADGM license too, reinforcing the UAE as a rising hub for stablecoins and digital finance.
On the institutional side, Coinbase partnered with PNC to let clients access Bitcoin more directly, another sign that traditional finance is embracing crypto.
Big tech joined in as Stripe and Paradigm opened the Tempo testnet, an Ethereum-aligned L1 designed for fast settlement, already involving names like UBS and Kalshi.
Macro voices added perspective.
A popular thread suggested private credit could power the next stablecoin cycle through tokenized real-world yields.
Keyrock highlighted that macro sentiment is turning more dovish, and institutional interest is strengthening.
