PANews reported on September 28th that, according to CoinDesk, Syncracy Capital co-founder Ryan Watkins pointed out that digital asset reserves (DATs) could evolve from speculative entities into long-term economic engines for blockchain. Currently, DATs hold approximately $105 billion in mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, a size that is underestimated by the market. Watkins believes that a small number of DATs will develop into comprehensive operators deeply involved in network construction, assuming responsibilities such as financing and governance. Because they control a large amount of token supply, their reserves are not only a pool of funds but also a tool for influencing ecosystem policies. He cited the example of networks like Solana, where larger-scale staking can directly improve service quality or reduce user costs. Through staking, liquidity provision, and acquisition of on-chain infrastructure, DATs can transform token reserves into productive assets. Successful DATs combine the perpetual capital of closed-end funds, the balance sheet management of banks, and a Berkshire Hathaway-style growth ethos, with returns directly reflected in token appreciation. Watkins predicts that the first generation of DATs, which relied on financial engineering, will be eliminated, leading to industry consolidation. Ultimately, the winners will be those with rigorous capital allocation and operational capabilities, reinvesting profits in token accumulation and ecosystem development. He concludes, "Well-managed DATs could become the Berkshire Hathaway of the blockchain world."PANews reported on September 28th that, according to CoinDesk, Syncracy Capital co-founder Ryan Watkins pointed out that digital asset reserves (DATs) could evolve from speculative entities into long-term economic engines for blockchain.

Real Madrid Expected Lineup And Team News Vs. Kairat Almaty, Champions League

The post Real Madrid Expected Lineup And Team News Vs. Kairat Almaty, Champions League appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Real Madrid’s starting lineup against Atlético on Saturday. Real Madrid via Getty Images Tuesday night will give Real Madrid their first ever competitive fixture to take place in Kazakhstan as they travel to the Ortaly Stadion in Almaty to take of Kairat Almaty in their first ever meeting in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Los Blancos head into the tie still reeling from a painful 5-2 defeat to city rivals Atlético Madrid on Saturday which ended their perfect start to the season, having previously recorded seven wins from seven games in all competitions. That run included a 2-1 win at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu over Olympique Marseille to get off to a strong start in the Champions League. Real Madrid was one of 14 sides to win their opening fixture, and they must now repeat that feat in more challenging circumstances with an eight-hour flight ahead of them. Real Madrid team news vs. Kairat Almaty Beyond the pain of the defeat to Atlético Madrid on Saturday, Real Madrid also emerged with two fresh injury concerns. One is Éder Militão, who was forced off at half-time with a knee injury which had forced him to the turf as early as the third minute. The Brazilian appeared to struggle on until the break, but was unable to continue and will now undergo tests. The other player to be forced off was captain Dani Carvajal, the only fit natural right-back, who was struggling with a minor injury. While he is less of a long-term concern, he will be unavailable for this game anyway as he serves a suspension for his red card against Olympique Marseille in the opening game of the Champions League season. On a more positive front, Jude Bellingham started his first game of the season and Eduardo Camavinga also…

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

The post Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…

Three Altcoins You’ll Regret Overlooking in 2025

Three Altcoins You’ll Regret Overlooking in 2025

The post Three Altcoins You’ll Regret Overlooking in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market has a long history of rewarding early conviction. In every cycle, some projects rise quietly in the background before exploding into mainstream recognition. Those who spotted Solana below five dollars or Cardano before its first surge know the feeling: missing these opportunities can sting for years. As 2025 unfolds, a new crop of altcoins is building the kind of momentum and fundamentals that suggest they could be next. Investors scanning charts, developer activity, and institutional mentions are beginning to circle around several overlooked tokens. And in the presale world, MAGACOIN FINANCE is being talked about as one that could follow a similar path of transforming early believers into winners. Kaspa: The Proof-of-Work Revival Kaspa has taken the market by surprise. While many assumed proof-of-work chains were a relic of the past, Kaspa has built a reputation for speed and efficiency without abandoning the security that comes from its consensus model. Its blockDAG architecture allows for faster confirmation times than traditional proof-of-work chains, making it practical for payments and daily transactions. In recent weeks, Kaspa’s token has been climbing charts, backed by a loyal community and growing mining participation. Analysts are starting to call it one of the most technically innovative chains of its kind. If momentum continues, Kaspa could evolve from a niche project into a household name, and those ignoring it now may look back with regret when records are broken. Fantom: A DeFi Engine Reignited Fantom has experienced highs and lows over the past few years, but 2025 is giving it new life. Its directed acyclic graph (DAG)-based consensus allows for blazing fast transaction speeds, and DeFi protocols are once again migrating to Fantom to take advantage of its low fees. Recent reports show liquidity rising in Fantom-based exchanges and lending platforms, sparking comparisons to…
