「BTC OG Insider Whale」 Agent: Stock Tokenization Will Drive Stablecoin Demand to Alleviate US Debt Pressure, Ethereum and Other Public Blockchains to Become Global Capital Market Settlement Layer

2026.01.24 17:23:20

On January 24, "BTC OG Insider Whale" agent Garrett Jin posted on social media, noting: "Against the backdrop of de-dollarization, extending the debt cycle to help the U.S. address its debt issues seems impractical. Tokenizing U.S. equities to drive stablecoin demand is the primary viable path left for the U.S. to refinance its ballooning debt. BlackRock’s push to bring Real World Assets (RWA) on-chain illustrates this." U.S. debt continues to mount, with proposals to pressure foreign investors to roll over short-term bonds into long-term ones—delaying principal repayments to ease the burden of its roughly $36 trillion federal debt. De-dollarization was initially spurred by the Ukraine War, while developments in Venezuela and Greenland have accelerated this trend. If the U.S. aims to refinance via additional debt issuance, the only realistic path is to expand stablecoin issuance—potentially bypassing foreign regulations to attract new global capital to U.S. Treasuries. To scale this goal, the solution lies in RWA: bringing U.S. equities on-chain as on-chain assets. Tokenizing the roughly $68 trillion in U.S. equities will significantly boost stablecoin demand, indirectly lightening the debt burden. This also explains why BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is deeply involved in advancing RWA and on-chain equity trading: these moves not only make economic sense but may also serve strategic and political ends. Within this framework, public blockchains like Ethereum are emerging as settlement layers for global capital markets—not out of ideology, but due to the real needs of balance sheets and geopolitics.

Google Antigravity undergoes major update: Voice commands to direct AI tasks, cloud Agent continues running even after device shutdown.

Beating AI Express: Google unveils a new Antigravity interface. The v2.29.0 update, released on November 3, brings multiple features including real-time voice, cloud-based Agents, and an upgraded built-in browser. The most noticeable change is the new Voice Mode, powered by Gemini Live. Similar to ChatGPT’s real-time voice mode, it lets users converse directly with the AI to modify code, complete tasks, interrupt the AI mid-operation to add requests, or approve/reject actions via voice. Another key update is Remote Agents: users can offload tasks to Google’s cloud, connecting to GitHub repositories and Google Drive files, allowing Agents to continue working even when the user’s computer is powered off. Additional updates include: redesigned Home and Automations pages for centralized management of scheduled, persistent, and paused automation tasks; built-in browser additions like download management and browsing history; direct support for viewing Jupyter Notebook files; a new default dark theme; and expanded interface settings for fonts, keyboard shortcuts, and other options. Currently, both Voice Mode and Remote Agents are in a phased rollout. Cloud-based Agents are exclusive to individual Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Voice Mode works for local sessions on the Antigravity App and CLI, but does not yet support cloud Agent sessions.

Hedge fund Samlyn has liquidated all stocks outside the financial sector and laid off its senior analysts.

Rob Pohly’s Samlyn Capital is laying off senior analysts; the firm has previously liquidated exposure to nearly all sectors, retaining only global financial stocks and shifting its investment focus to this area. According to people familiar with the matter, the $7 billion equity hedge fund sold off stocks in multiple sectors including industrials, technology and retail weeks ago, earlier than the recent market sell-off. The recent slump has hit the entire hedge fund industry hard. One source said that as of October, the fund is down around 5% year-to-date. Going forward, Samlyn will primarily trade global financial stocks, a sector that Pohly has focused on for decades. The firm retains analysts dedicated to financial sector research. Samlyn is not returning capital to investors; instead, it is reinvesting proceeds from the sale of other holdings into financial stocks, or holding cash temporarily for future deployment.
