0. Data and calendar

All values as of 1 AM ET / 10 PM PT, other than S&P500 and NASDAQ close (4 PM ET / 1 PM PT).

All times are ET.

1. Tether launches aUSDT, 1st decentralized stablecoin backed by gold (XAUT)

Alloy by Tether.

  • Our view: more sustainable than ETH-backed stablecoins, as gold’s price is more stable and its depositors do not expect massive yields.

2. Adobe sued by DOJ over ā€œannual, paid monthlyā€ default, other practices

U.S. v. Adobe et al.

  • Adobe ā€œhas harmed consumers by enrolling them in its default, most lucrative subscription plan without clearly disclosing important plan terms,ā€ says the DOJ.

  • Government scrutiny previously halted Adobe’s $20B purchase of Figma. Now, standard SaaS subscription techniques are the target.

3. Simple, secure and lightning-fast swapping with the Uniswap web app*

Uniswap.

  • With access to the largest offering in DeFi, you can buy and sell your favorite tokens in seconds.

  • Real-time token data, charts, transaction history, and pool data to help you swap more confidently.

  • Set and forget your swaps with Limit Orders; swap any token at your price, on your terms, without having to watch the market.

4. Runway announces text-to-video AI Gen-3 Alpha, still less capable than OpenAI’s Sora

  • 10-second videos: what Gen-3 Alpha can do, vs. minutes for Sora.

  • Both are unreleased and have no release date scheduled.
