Can the internet come together and buy a Nasdaq-listed toilet company? That’s exactly what @shit_capital is aiming for. The target is FGI Industries, with a market cap of roughly $12 million. The idea is to build a community around a memecoin called SHIT and accumulate tokenized FGI in the protocol’s reserve. They’re trying to turn meme attention into an economic experiment aimed at a real company. And this isn’t a team shipping its first product. @weretuna , co-founder of Blessed, previously worked on Addicted.fun and has spent years building consumer crypto products. Honestly, this is one of the most interesting crypto experiments I’ve seen in a long time. I don’t know how it will turn out, but I definitely want to be part of it. Just watching how far the internet can take an idea this absurd is fascinating in itself. One important distinction, though: holding SHIT does not make you an FGI shareholder. Accumulating tokenized assets doesn’t automatically give the protocol control of the company either. An acquisition is the goal, not something that has already happened. But the internet trying to buy a toilet company? For anyone who misses crypto’s weird side, that’s a pretty good story. shitcapital.com @shit_capital

Exits settle after the epoch ends, with a 0.5% fee. Live multiplier and your qualifying balance: app.atoma.fi/convergence/cha… @atoma_fi

Is a Fed hike bad for crypto? The data says it's not that simple. Yesterday the Philly Semiconductor Index dropped ~12.3%, its worst day since March 2020. $BTC gave back its entire post-election bounce, sliding from $80K to ~$75.5K. Over $1B in liquidations, mostly longs. Today at 8:30 ET we get the October jobs report. Strong hiring = higher odds of a December hike. CME FedWatch already prices it at ~78%. Here's the part most people miss: → After each of the 3 Fed cuts in 2025, $BTC was lower one week later → After the September 2026 hike, $BTC was up ~11% one week later Markets trade expectations, not headlines. By the time the Fed moves, the move is usually priced in. What I'm watching today: • Payrolls + wage growth • Funding rates and OI after yesterday's long flush • Whether $BTC holds the $75K area Rate hikes don't wreck portfolios. Overleverage does. Size accordingly. NFA.

Arc, month two: the numbers are growing, but is usage? USDC supply on @arc passed $1B on October 27, about six weeks after mainnet, and was around $1.09B by early November. That's a headline worth celebrating, but there's a detail behind it worth discussing: at the $1B mark, roughly 73% of that USDC sat in just four addresses, and it's not public who controls them. So supply is growing fast, but it's still concentrated. That's why I think the more interesting signal this month is what's being built, not the supply number. Here's what changed: 1) Trading infrastructure is filling in Uniswap (with cirBTC from day one), Aero, 0x, 1inch and LI.FI are live. Extended launched natively on Arc as a perp DEX, and edgeX supports deposits, withdrawals and collateral on Arc. Synthra is building an Arc-native spot and perp layer. Per DeFiLlama data shared by Arc (Oct 26): ~$632M TVL, ~$198M in 7-day DEX volume and ~$733M in 7-day perp volume. Perps already lead. Arc also notes that fast finality doesn't prevent front-running; slippage and MEV still depend on each venue's design. 2) Agent payments are getting real infrastructure SELAT lets an agent pay any merchant using x402 or MPP from a single USDC balance held via Circle Gateway on Arc. Every call goes into its own escrow, which releases only after delivery is attested. It discovers merchants across five catalogs, including Circle's Agent Marketplace and x402 Bazaar. According to SELAT, 99.3% of x402 settlement volume was in USDC as of July. Crossmint gives agents wallets, stablecoin payments, cards and spending limits through APIs. MoneyGram used Crossmint's infrastructure to take a stablecoin remittance product to production in about two months. 3) User-facing apps are arriving Pulsar Money is live on Arc mainnet and onboarding users from its waitlist: a single balance for USD, EUR and GBP, available in 76 countries, with a virtual card and StableFX integration planned. FlowFi (@flowfifinance) is a community-built app that puts the Arc stack in one place: bridging native USDC, EURC and cirBTC into Arc via Circle's Bridge Kit/CCTP, a unified balance through Circle Gateway, swaps that compare quotes from multiple routers including LI.FI, and Earn/Borrow through Morpho and Aave. It also supports Circle Wallet email sign-in, no seed phrase. One detail I respect: the team removed its perps feature after a security review, and token launch and liquidity pools remain testnet-only. 4) A note for builders porting contracts Native USDC and ERC-20 USDC are the same asset, so a pool pairing them makes no sense. Value transfers to the zero address revert, a native transfer can revert even with sufficient balance, and SELFDESTRUCT moves the contract's USDC balance. Test against an Arc RPC endpoint, not just a local EVM. My take: $1B is a milestone, but the real test is whether that USDC spreads out across many wallets and apps. Perp volume, agent payment rails and the first user-facing apps suggest the groundwork for that is being laid. What do you think will spread USDC usage on Arc first: trading, agent payments, or consumer apps?
