UATX, The University of Austin, Texas, is rediscovering and redefining academic pursuit. Founded in 2021, the start-up university stands as a protest to the intellectual dogma and the “woke” radicalization of major universities in recent years, focusing instead on entrepreneurship and preparing students for a technologically and culturally complex future.

These old values, rekindled by the chaos of modernity, have led UATX to Bitcoin: “The first principles of this institution share the same space, language, and ethos as the first principles behind Bitcoin: freedom of speech, freedom to transact, individual and institutional sovereignty, distributed decentralized governing…

Geyser, a Bitcoin crowdfunding and grants platform, announced the NWC Hackathon Grant this week, inviting projects that leverage Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) – a communication protocol that enables programmable, non-custodial Bitcoin payments and seamless interactions between apps and wallets. NWC uses the Nostr relay network as an always-on, encrypted message layer linking applications to users’ wallets, so apps can request payments or fetch data without custodial intermediaries. This design allows Bitcoin to move more freely between services. “The timing feels right… There’s growing excitement around leveraging NWC for Lightning development,” said Mick Morucci,…

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes believes stablecoins could help rescue the US Treasury as it struggles to fund over $5 trillion in bond sales this year. In a July 3 post Hayes said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent faces a nearly impossible task of selling debt while keeping the 10-year yield below 5% and without Fed support

Stablecoins may offer a lifeline. Hayes pointed to JP Morgan’s JPMD token on Coinbase’s Base network as a sign of change. He predicts banks could transform deposits into stablecoins cutting $20 billion in compliance costs and recycling trillions into Treasury bills. Tokenized deposits could unlock $6.8 trillion in demand for T-bills Hayes estimated

Data shows T-bills now yield around 5.3% while bank reserves pay roughly 5.4% Hayes argues that tokenized dollars will shift idle cash into Treasuries acting like stealth quantitative easing. That new liquidity could support Bitcoin and other risk assets Hayes says even if there is a brief slowdown after debt ceiling talks

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed a bill that would have created a state-managed reserve fund using bitcoin and digital assets seized from criminal activity. This is the third time Hobbs has put an end to a bill seeking to establish a bitcoin reserve.

The latest Arizona bitcoin reserve bill, House Bill 2324, would have established a “Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund”. The fund was to be managed by the Arizona State Treasurer and funded through digital assets seized in criminal cases.

Under the plan, the first $300,000 from seized digital assets would have gone to the Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund (ARRF), and any remaining funds would be split: 50% to the…

The first spot Solana staking exchange-traded fund, named REX-Osprey Solana + Staking ETF, made a powerful debut Wednesday with $33 million in trading volume, according to Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas. It ended the day managing about $1 million in assets, but Balchunas expects that could jump to $10 million on day two, given the impressive volume.

Unlike other staking ETFs under SEC discussion, this fund operates under the tougher Investment Company Act of 1940 rules, requiring a qualified custodian. REX-Osprey chose Anchorage Digital, the only federally regulated bank approved to both custody and stake crypto assets, offering extra security for investors. Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley called staking the next chapter in crypto ETFs and said this launch will help institutions access digital assets in a regulated package.

Despite momentum, the SEC remains cautious about new ETF structures. On Wednesday, Deputy Secretary J. Matthew DeLesDernier signaled the agency is still reviewing a recently approved Grayscale ETF, suggesting strict listing standards will not change easily.
