(Photo by Stefania D’Alessandro/WireImage) WireImage For more than 15 years now, Lady Gaga has ranked as one of the most commercially successful musicians on the planet. The singer-songwriter changed the sound of pop music and has continually reinvented her look and the music that she puts out into the world with each era. Earlier in 2025, Gaga dropped her latest album Mayhem, which returns her to the dark dance and electronica that she helped bring to pop culture’s forefront more than a decade back. The superstar recently released a deluxe edition of the full-length with three new tracks, including “The Dead Dance,” which this frame earns the Grammy and Oscar winner a special top 10 hit on one of Billboard’s most competitive charts. Lady Gaga Debuts “The Dead Dance” Internationally “The Dead Dance” launches on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. this frame, now that its first full tracking period has finished. Gaga released the track on a Wednesday in the middle of a tracking moment, and it didn’t perform well enough to appear on either of Billboard’s worldwide tallies until it managed a complete seven-day frame of availability. This week, “The Dead Dance” launches at No. 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Lady Gaga’s Top 10 Hits Despite her immense fame and commercial success, Gaga has only ever reached the top 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. three times. Many of her most famous tracks either stalled…

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…

The post It’s time for institutional stablecoin adoption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Business > It’s time for institutional stablecoin adoption What was initially promised to be a ‘crypto’ revolution has settled into something starkly different, though just as disruptive: a stablecoin revolution. Yes, as world leaders pump their own memecoins and legislatures pass measures which specify exactly how much BTC a bank can keep on its balance sheet, the winner has been the assets that are most divorced from the volatile, number-go-up circus of ‘crypto’ markets, yet manage to deliver the practical benefits of digital currency. In other words, the world is beginning to prioritize utility over volatility. The numbers bear this out. The total market capitalization of stablecoins is now over $300 billion. The third-largest coin on the market, after behemoth first movers BTC and ETH, is Tether (USDT), a stablecoin with a market cap of $183 billion. When you look at which coins are actually being used, stablecoin dominance becomes even clearer. In any given 24-hour period, USDT dominates transaction volumes. At the time of writing, $126.7 billion in USDT transactions had been made. BTC and ETH come in as distant seconds and thirds ($74 billion and $37.6 billion, respectively), while another stablecoin, Circle’s (NASDAQ: CRCL) USDC, pulls in at fourth (with a 24-hour transaction volume of almost $12 billion). Not surprisingly, Tether accounts for a substantial 59.6% of the market cap. However, as stablecoins have taken up an increasingly large share of the digital asset conversation, this trend has also shifted: the figure peaked at 75% in September and has since declined. Its share of the pie is being eaten by swathes of new offerings. There are alternate USD-pegged assets—which make up the entirety of the top ten stablecoins—but also alternate currency pegs such as Circle’s EURC or any number of Renmibi-linked assets. Put simply:…
