Today's most important stories for crypto investors.

Fidelity Finally Agrees With Us(Fidelity Canada)

For the last five years, we've been patiently explaining our investing strategy: a highly diversified portfolio with a little bit of crypto. Finally, Fidelity Canada agrees with us. On their All-In-One ETFs page, the investing giant recommends between 1-3% allocated to crypto. (Sounds familiar!)

Bitcoin ETF is a Watershed Moment (Bloomberg TV)

Chainlink founder Sergey Nazarov discusses the unique nature of the current cryptocurrency market cycle, predicting real-world asset tokenization (RWA) will be the next major trend in the crypto market, driven by banks looking to compete with ETFs and attract capital. This bull could last a while!

These Could Be the Best-Performing Crypto Stocks Through 2030 (Motley Fool)

Crypto stocks could outperform in the long term, especially Coinbase ($COIN), Marathon Digital ($MARA), and MicroStrategy ($MSTR). We love the long-term focus, though check out our slightly different takes on Coinbase (great company), Marathon (good, but risky), and Microstrategy (better to hold bitcoin instead).

Chart of the Day

Daily Active Users on Uniswap

Active users are the backbone of any project. They help with adoption, increase fees and revenues, and inspire confidence among investors.


Last week, we discussed the potential buy opportunity in Uniswap, and congrats to those of you who moved quickly: UNI is up 6% since our newsletter on Friday!


AfterUniswap tokenholders voted overwhelmingly in favor of "governance rewards" on Friday, we saw a definite uptick in daily active users -- which means an increase in fees.


That was the unofficial vote; the on-chain vote happens this Friday 3/8. If it passes, not only is the vote likely to benefit UNI in the short term, it will also help raise more fees, potentially creating a virtuous cycle for Uniswap.
