Digital Asset Pulls $355M Into Canton From a16z and a Sovereign Fund Digital Asset, the company behind the institutional Canton Network, raised $355 million in a round led by a16z crypto, which contributed $100 million. The cap table reads like a roll call of capital markets: Citadel Securities, HSBC, BNP Paribas, S&P Global, Tradeweb, SBI, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority through a subsidiary. The raise values Digital Asset near $2 billion and is earmarked for partnerships, acquisitions, and ecosystem growth. Canton runs privacy-preserving settlement for tokenized assets, the same institutional plumbing we track on the RWA yields view. (Decrypt)

JPMorgan Says the Bitcoin Debasement Trade Is Unwinding Faster The retreat from the so-called debasement trade has continued for gold and accelerated for bitcoin in recent weeks, JPMorgan strategists wrote. The bet, owning scarce assets against currency debasement and deficits, drove ETF inflows earlier this year and is now reversing as inflation and geopolitical fears ease. It lines up with the $2.1 billion of June outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs flagged this morning. Prices bounced anyway, with bitcoin near $63,400, up about 2.5% on the day, and the read sits behind the flat APYs on the BTC yield view. (The Block)

Coinbase Gives AI Agents Their Own Accounts to Trade and Pay Coinbase launched Coinbase for Agents, letting AI assistants connect to user accounts to trade crypto and settle payments. An agent can run inside an isolated portfolio with no view of the user's other holdings, or use the main account with permission, and it taps Coinbase's x402 stablecoin rails for machine-to-machine payments. The release moves agentic finance from demo to product, with stablecoins as the settlement layer. Agent-driven flows are a new source of onchain volume across the protocols we index. (The Block)

Visa Says Stablecoins Are Reshaping the Back End of Commerce Visa said stablecoins are rewiring how money moves behind the scenes, as it rolled out new AI tools, tokenization features, and a partnership with OpenAI. The framing matters: a card network treating stablecoins as core settlement infrastructure rather than a fringe experiment. It is another sign the rails crypto built are being absorbed by incumbents. Where that supply sits and what it earns is the center of the stablecoin yields page. (The Block)

Bernstein Calls the World Cup a Watershed for Prediction Markets Bernstein analysts project the FIFA World Cup could lift prediction-market volume by $5 billion to $10 billion, calling it a potential watershed for the category. The thesis builds on the onchain markets and perps that handled the price discovery on this week's SpaceX listing. If sports flows reach these venues at scale, the liquidity and fee story changes fast. We track the perp and liquidity-provision side on perps LP yields. (The Block)
