If you're building a crypto app, this post is for you.
TL;DR: Found some data on user acquisition costs for finance apps.
The interesting part is not just cost per tap – it's also retention.
You pay up to $7.15 for a single tap → user activation becomes an economic necessity.
Yet, only 13.55% of users open a finance app again within 24h of install.
This means nearly 87% of your expensive acquisitions are at immediate risk of churning.
Meaning you have to improve the first 24-48h user experience AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Free advice here that can save you a lot of $$.

Solana is betting on two categories in 2026: AI agents and perps.
But for now, only one of them has real infrastructure momentum.
The agentic side got a boost with PaySH, a CLI that lets AI agents pay for APIs directly through the x402 open payment protocol.
This works because Solana is fast and cheap enough for the microtransactions that agents need.
Perps is a different story.
Solana is #2 in onchain perps volume, but the volume is fragmented across @JupiterExchange, @gmtrade_xyz, @DriftProtocol, @FlashTrade, and other protocols.
There's no single product that represents "Solana perps" the w

Privacy is finally being taken seriously this year. Every major primitive (ZK, FHE, MPC, TEE) shipped a real working product in the last 5 months.
The 2026 Privacy Landscape ↓
TEE
• @iEx_ec: Building TEE-based confidential computing since 2017. Shipped Confidential Token, turning any ERC20 into a confidential & auditable asset, along with Confidential Vault on Arbitrum Sepolia, a plug-in tool for onchain vaults to keep balances, LP positions, and strategies hidden.
• @PhalaNetwork: TEE network purpose-built for confidential AI agents. Powers private inference and agent workloads with attested

I looked into why USDC is moving more, and the answer is not what you think.
One of the main reasons is @base.
Base processed 62% of global onchain stablecoin transaction volume in Q1, which is insane.
And @solana is also pushing a lot of USDC activity. We all know Solana is cheap and fast enough for high-frequency stablecoin use, so to me, it’s obvious why USDC is no longer just sitting idle. It’s moving across swaps, apps, payments, and DeFi flows.
Then there’s @circle.
USDC supply is growing, but volume is growing way faster:
→ USDC circulation reached $77B, up 28% YoY
→ USDC onchain transa

The onchain cards category basically comes down to two projects.
If we look at the @ax1vc dashboard, we see two clear category leaders:
→ Courtyard: 53.7%
→ Collector Crypt: 37.4%
→ Everyone else: 8.9%
It's pretty interesting that the project without crypto-native mechanics is winning.
You'd expect the project with packs, buybacks, and a token to dominate a crypto-native category, but it doesn't.
Courtyard's volume is mostly NFT resales of vaulted graded cards.
Collector Crypt's volume is split between gacha spend and $CARDS token trading, with buybacks recycling capital back through the gacha

We’re 13 days into May and have already seen 8 DeFi hacks.
That’s one hack every 39 hours.
• Transit Finance (13 May) – $1.87M
• INK Finance (11 May) – $140K
• Renegade (10 May) – $209K
• TrustedVolumes (7 May) – $6.7M
• Ekubo (5 May) – $1.4M
• SmartCredit (4 May) – $72K
• Bisq (1 May) – $858K
• Sharwa Finance (1 May) – $32.85K
Is there any way to predict the total number of hacks this month?

If you're from the long list of people laid off in crypto this year, drop your quick experience pitch below.
I am sure that there are lots of people hiring.

A reminder for marketers & founders reading me.
In 2023, Revolut had 70% of new retail customers joining organically.
Back then, their blended CAC was ~£20/user.
You might be reading this as "ok, good CAC, so what?"
The "what?" is that it's BLENDED CAC.
Meaning that for non-organic channels, the CAC was somewhat close to ~£67.
And that's back in 2023.
Now tell me:
How do you plan to get 100K users with $20K of marketing budgets pls?

The funniest thing about those “how to earn $$$$ with AI” articles is that they’re all written by AI.
I doubt anyone is even running the businesses they describe, lol.

Speaking about benchmarks in crypto marketing
In 2025, avg crypto CPI (cost per install) = $2.90.
But that's the top of the funnel.
Let's assume:
Install → registration: 30%
Registration → KYC/onboard: 30%
Approved → deposit: 50%
Deposit → first transaction: 70%
This way, cost per first transacting user = ~$92
And I don't even take retention, trust issues, poor-quality traffic, paid channel overlap, etc into consideration.
Let's start being realistic, guys.

Unpopular opinion: Prediction markets are a casino with better UX.
Two facts:
• The top 1% of traders capture 75% of all profits.
• Over 100,000 accounts have lost $1,000+ since early 2025
So if you don't know how to win the game, don't play it.
