Watching the latest CPI print, feels like more capital is looking for off-ramps

That sticky CPI print yesterday just reinforces the idea that higher for longer is here to stay, and probably for some time. I'm seeing more capital in traditional finance circles actively exploring stablecoin on/off-ramps for hedging and potentially for faster settlement on less liquid assets. It's less about speculative plays and more about capital preservation and efficiency right now, especially as the cost of holding cash or less productive assets increases. The utility of something like $DEFI at 72.3897 becomes clearer in this environment, not necessarily as an investment, but as infrastructure.
