Unbelievable, I've got BTC, ETH and have had an account for almost a year. I went to go check it last week and couldn't log in, so I reset my password, then up pops a 2FA authentication (which wasn't there previously) - so I download and app for that. When it didn't work, I tried 2 more, but they didn't work either. Then I tried to RECOVER my account. ALL to no avail. So I tried the emails that were provided. One kicked back and one straight up said 'this email is outbound only'. So I asked the AI what do I do when all of the above are exhausted and my next call is my attorney? The AI said to put in a ticket, but that was a farce too. It's just more of the same. I have been working on this for days with no help from KRAKEN at all. Are they no longer legit?

Exactly... the purpose this insane idea was put out by Greyscale was to drive out Solo Stakers. It will destroy decentralization and Credible Neutrality, but they don't care, when they will just strip all the money out and burn down the whole project.
I don't know if anyone remembers "ETH Classic," but this almost sabotaged ETH in the early days, and it was entirely pushed by Greyscale.

Yes do NOT use anything centralized options, its dumb as you can do it in fully decentralized ways.
Just use a DEX aggregator like http://switcher.finance select ETH -> SOL it takes 2 seconds and 0% slippage

This sub is basically an ETH circle jerk. No surprise the predictions are all comical

I just want my ETH back. I dont know what to do with this Robinhood ETH. There are discrpencies between wallets and different blockscanners/swappers. Some show my balance, some dont, none let me swap back. It's all so confusing.

To be clear on what the issue is here you traded ETH for wrapped ETH on Robinhood chain and now you want to unwrap them?

I dont usually have issues with crypto but this one is messing me up bad and I have no idea to do. I tried to swap for a token on my phantom wallet on the robinhood chain, and it didn't give me the token, but instead gave me Robinhood wrapped ETH. I still can't use that to swap to the memecoin with my phantom wallet. So now I input my private key into rabby wallet and my wrapped ETH doesnt even show up in uniswap now. My token appears in across protocol but it just doesn't let me trade it, the option to click it is greyed out and nothing really happens. I've been at this for like an hour and I give up, i need someone to spoonfeed me. I dont want the memecoin anymore I just want my ETH back, this is the worst trading experience I've ever had in years.

At 28, my 401k is an 85/15 split between the US and International index (can't remember the acronyms), and my brokerage is a 70/30 of FBAIX and FBALX. I have my brokerage set up to invest monthly into these two as well, and save a couple hundred every month as an opportunity fund for smaller investments I like that I think are up-and-coming.

Played with some of the alt coins back in 24/25 and am down quite a bit as a result, so other than my BTC (which is still very healthy) and a little of ETH and SOL, I'm playing it much safer and much stabler now.

For the past five years, DeFi has been almost entirely a dollar-denominated system. Whether users are providing liquidity, borrowing, or trading, the vast majority of meaningful activity happens in USDC, USDT, or DAI. This made sense in the early days — dollars are the global reserve currency, stablecoins removed volatility, and the infrastructure was built around them.
But this model has a clear limitation when applied to emerging markets.
In countries like Argentina, people already think and save in dollars. They hold USDC or cash dollars because their local currency has historically failed as a store of value. Yet when they enter DeFi today, they face a binary choice: either keep everything in dollars, or take on significant volatility by using ETH or BTC as collateral to borrow more dollars. Neither option solves their actual need.
What users in these markets really want is the ability to keep their dollar savings intact while accessing liquidity in their local currency. This is the core use case that has been missing.
# The New Primitive
The next evolution of DeFi is not about bringing more dollars on-chain. It is about using dollar stablecoins as collateral to borrow local stablecoins.
Instead of depositing ETH to borrow USDC, users will deposit USDC to borrow wARS, wBRL, wCOP, or wMXN. Dollar stablecoins become the "hard money" collateral, while local stablecoins become the borrowable asset. This flips the current dynamic and creates a product that actually matches how people in emerging markets already behave.
This shift has powerful implications. A user in Buenos Aires who holds USDC can now borrow Argentine pesos on-chain without selling their dollars or taking crypto volatility risk. They get local currency liquidity while maintaining their dollar-denominated savings. The same pattern applies across Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and other markets where people save in dollars but spend and operate in local currency.
This is not a niche use case. It is likely to become the primary way local stablecoins like wARS are used in DeFi.
This isn't a replay of the euro stablecoin markets that launched and stayed empty — those had no rate differential and no reason to borrow euros; local currencies have both.
# Why This Matters for Local Stablecoins
Most local stablecoin projects have focused on payments or basic on/off-ramps. While those are important, they don't create deep DeFi utility on their own. A local stablecoin that can only be used for transfers or held passively has limited composability.
When dollar stablecoins can be used as collateral to borrow the local currency, everything changes. Local stablecoins become core DeFi assets with real, recurring demand. They can power money markets, enable leveraged strategies, support structured products, and create sustainable liquidity loops. The collateral is already abundant (USDC and USDT), and the demand for local currency borrowing exists in the real world.
This is the missing link that turns local stablecoins from payments tools into fundamental DeFi primitives.
# The Infrastructure Layer: Local Currency Oracles
For this model to work at scale, protocols need reliable, manipulation-resistant price feeds for local currencies. This is why the launch of Chainlink oracles for wARS and wBRL is significant. These oracles will provide accurate exchange rates that any protocol can use to build money markets, lending platforms, and derivatives around local stablecoins.
By making these oracles public and permissionless, the ecosystem can start building the same sophisticated financial infrastructure that exists in dollar markets — but denominated in local currencies. This removes one of the biggest technical barriers that has kept local stablecoins on the sidelines of DeFi.
# Implications for DeFi
Protocols that continue to focus exclusively on dollar lending will increasingly look like they are serving only a subset of the market. The protocols that embrace cross-currency money markets — where dollars serve as collateral for local currency borrowing — will capture the next wave of users who have so far remained on the sidelines of DeFi.
Local DeFi is not about fragmenting liquidity. It is about finally making DeFi relevant to the majority of the world's population that lives outside the dollar economy.

One of the comments:
BTC will be around $600k, ETH will be around $40k. Let’s see haha

BTC, ETH, HYPE, SOL

Ben from CoinLedger here.

Look at intent and pattern rather than counting trades, since the CRA doesn't apply a specific frequency threshold before treating crypto activity as a business. Factors that actually move the needle include whether trading funds your living expenses, how much time and research goes into it, whether you're using leverage or short holding periods, and how organized the activity looks on paper, things like a dedicated trading setup or consistent strategy.
In some cases, even a couple of trades have been treated as business income if the CRA decided the intent from the outset was resale for profit rather than investment. Since you're already swapping BTC, ETH, and CAD multiple times a month, document your reasoning for each trade as you go, because that record is what you'd lean on if the CRA ever asks you to justify capital gains treatment instead of business income.

the core issue is that Robinhood ETH runs on its own proprietary chain (chainID 4663) that isn't a standard EVM network - Uniswap doesn't support it and Coinbase Wallet can't add custom RPCs, so you're stuck at the bridge layer

Not interested in borrowing USDT, only in short selling after transfering ETH to margin wallet as collateral.

First because it’s a meme stock. If sentiment turns and it gets pumped to all-time highs then shorting it would get you a 1200% loss and a likely margin call. In contrast, if it traded down to its book value then you would be picking up roughing a roughly 50% gain. Risk to reward for shorting isn’t very good. Second, it is sitting on a sizable stockpile of BTC, ETH, etc. if the crypto market turns due to the CLARITY Act passing, due to the fed engaging in QE, due to accelerating adoption, etc., then DJT will trade up along with the broader BTC/crypto market. That isn’t a problem if you want to be short on the crypto markets, but given how volatile upswings in those are, there are many who do not want to take that risk.
I have no position either way, but if you are going to play the short side you are probably better off buying puts to limit your downside exposure.

You usually borrow USD/stablecoins. Buy ETH or whatever same asset after that?

If you earn 1 ETH when the price is $1500, your reward balance will reflect $1500 even if the price spot price is $15,000.
