So many people on X talk about the AI boom as if the end of the world is coming.I strongly believe that the people who are curious, motivated, and willing to adapt are going to do just fine.AI will replace only those who refuse to learn how to use it.

Mantle TVL nearly doubled since AAVE went live on Mantle.Insane how much liquidity an AAVE integration can attract.

Search traffic for "Is $BTC dead?" has recently surged to new all-time highs.Fascinating that so many people are seriously searching for this.

Crypto Watchlist for the week ahead$SYRUP - Maple Investor Call is scheduled for Feb. 26$UNI - Voting for Uniswap's proposal to turn on the fee switch for more pools ends tomorrow$NEAR - Near's NEARCON conference starts on Feb. 23MegaETH - MegaETH confirmed the upcoming launch of a points program$FT - Flying Tulip TGE will happen on Feb. 23$JUP - Jupiter's proposal to stop its token emissions just passed$DIME - Paradex is launching its token DIME in the next few weeksMacro events - There's a 55% chance that the US strikes Iran by March 31 + Trump said that new tariffs are coming soon 💀$CHIP - USDai ICO starts today.

Etherfi's $ETHFI trades at 3x the market cap of Eigenlayer's $EIGEN.Or 1.3x the FDV.Let that sink in:An app that started as a liquid restaking wrapper on Eigenlayer now trades higher than the protocol it depended on.Etherfi pivoted to a credit card with a cashback. Nothing too fancy and multiple competitors do the same thing (although most are debit cards).Eigenlayer also pivoted to EigenCloud: verifiable cloud computing with EigenDA, EigenCompute, and EigenVerify.EigenCloud is technically more impressive. And few understand what it actually does.But a simple card that solves 'how do I spend my crypto' is winning.Infra is a hard sell. User facing products find PMF faster.

Remember Nillion on Cosmos? ⚛️The nilChain will officially halt on March 23rd as the project moves entirely to Ethereum.If you’re holding $NIL on Cosmos, you must migrate your tokens now.After the halt, standard transfers will no longer be possible.Another project leaving the Cosmos ecosystem... ☠️
