Markets stayed relatively calm this week, but underneath the surface, crypto kept moving deeper into Wall Street, AI infrastructure, and future finance narratives.
From ONDO’s breakout to Polymarket teaming up with Nasdaq, the bigger story this week wasn’t meme hype, it was crypto trying to become the backend of global markets.

Your Billing System Wasn't Built for This
SaaS pricing has changed. Your billing stack probably hasn't. As usage-based and hybrid models become the default, finance teams are left stitching together spreadsheets, reconciling data manually, and closing books under pressure. The cost? Revenue leakage, audit risk, and forecasts no one trusts.
Our new Buyer's Guide for Modern SaaS Billing breaks down exactly what to demand from a revenue platform built for today's complexity — from automated usage billing to AI-native collections and rev rec. Whether you're evaluating vendors or rethinking your stack, this is your framework for getting it right.
