Specs’ Insights

1. Robinhood announces Robinhood Banking with cash delivery

⌐◪-◪ → On-demand cash delivery is coming!

Robinhood just unveiled "Robinhood Banking" — a full-on traditional banking service that blurs the line between fintech and finance. This launch positions Robinhood as a direct competitor to established players like Charles Schwab and SoFi.

With features like 4% savings APY, estate planning, tax advice, and the ability to send cash worldwide, they're not messing around. Robinhood is also rolling out cash delivery directly to users — no ATMs required. Plus, they're offering FDIC insurance up to $2.5M, which is impressive for a fintech platform.

The service also integrates Robinhood Cortex — an AI-driven feature set to streamline financial planning and investing. This whole package could easily reshape how retail investors think about personal finance.

Really digging the whole golden Egyptian vibe they have on the landing page. If you want in, request early access now.

Say goodbye to last-minute runs to the atm to buy cash-only things.

2. Wyoming State to issue its own stablecoin called $WYST

⌐◪-◪ → The first state-issued stablecoin?

Wyoming is on the brink of launching its own state-backed stablecoin, dubbed "WYST." Set for a July debut, it will be the first fiat-backed, fully-reserved stablecoin issued by a U.S. state.

WYST will be backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and dollar reserves, using LayerZero tech to work across multiple blockchains, including Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon. The state aims to use any interest earned to fund local schools.

The token is already being tested on seven blockchains and will feature over-collateralization to ensure it maintains a 1:1 peg with the dollar.

Wyoming is making a massive push to position itself as a leader in blockchain adoption. If they pull this off, it could set a major precedent for other states to follow.

The stablecoin race is heating up faster than expected!

3. GameStop shares plans for $1.3B in Bitcoin buys

⌐◪-◪ → GameStop is all in on Bitcoin!

GameStop just announced its intention to buy Bitcoin with $1.3 billion worth of convertible notes — and the market loved it. Shares of GME surged 11% to $28.

This move mirrors Michael Saylor’s strategy with MicroStrategy, and many are comparing GameStop’s Bitcoin play to the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — but potentially even bigger given GameStop’s size and retail loyalty.

Jeff Park of Bitwise said it best: “$GME is the OG—the first retail revolt against centralization. No bond is stronger than the ethos of GME x BTC, by and for the PEOPLE.”

GameStop was the original retail rebellion stock, and now it's becoming a major Bitcoin player. As adoption spreads from companies to banks to states — GameStop is the next to lead the charge.

The biggest retail army in history just joined the hardest money in history.
