Digital Asset, a blockchain company backed by big finance names like Goldman Sachs, Citadel & BNP Paribas, just raised $135M.
🚨Breaking News:
Wall Street just doubled down on crypto, pouring millions into a firm building a regulated blockchain network for banks.
⚡Wire Simplified –
Digital Asset raised $135M from biggies like DRW, Tradeweb, and Citadel.
The funding will support the Canton Network, a blockchain for financial institutions.
Canton helps banks move assets like bonds and money market funds in a secure way.
The goal? Bring trillions in real-world assets onto the blockchain (safely).
This means crypto is no longer just for crypto bros. Bankers are in the chat.
✔️Straight to the Point:
Crypto just got a suit and tie makeover. With Goldman and Citadel investing, the line between traditional finance and crypto keeps blurring.

Bitcoin crashed over the weekend after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran. Traders panicked, and prices fell fast.
🚨Breaking News:
Bitcoin fell below $99K after Trump's Iran strike. Geopolitics, oil fears, and inflation spooked the entire crypto market.
⚡Wire Simplified –
Bitcoin dropped hard, dragging ether, Solana, and others with it.
Iran threatened to block oil routes; oil could hit $130 per barrel.
Inflation fears rose; traders bailed on risky assets like crypto.
Bitcoin acted more like a tech stock than an inflation hedge.
$1B in long positions got wiped out. Ouch.
✔️Straight to the Point:
Crypto is still sensitive to global drama. One missile and suddenly your coin portfolio looks like a horror movie.
Apple on a daily basis trades more than the European capital markets.
We have a fundamental lack of depth in European public markets.
Fragmented exchanges are moronic.
We need to have one unified European exchange.
