Happy Tuesday, Blockfolians

The Lede

By now you’ve already all digested Tesla’s big bitcoin sale (more on that below) so we wanted to hit you with something a little fresher: the European Investment Bank – the investment arm of the European Union – is pricing $100M in 2-year bonds on Ethereum.

The bond sale is being overseen by three little banks you might have heard of Goldman Sachs, Banco Santander, and Societe Generale.

It’s hard to see it as anything other than a huge nod for Ethereum and a sign in general of how fast crypto moves.
