1 yr ago, I rescinded my US O1 visa, left my startup, and moved down to Próspera to build a city from scratch. It’s a zone with very special laws, regulations, and taxes. It has raised almost $200M, incl from Coinbase, Peter Thiel, and created 3000+ local jobs 🧵
We hit an all time high on card transaction volume with over $620k today, over $10m this month. We could have been doing >>$1m a day now, but we've been cracking down on abuse and sketchy behavior. This is the difference between building a real product vs crypto ponzi bullshit.…
“If SPACs and ICOs had a baby, you’d get Digital Asset Treasuries." 🚀 From M&A lawyer to one of crypto’s earliest full-time VCs. When @TravisScher first discovered Bitcoin in 2015, he was the “weird guy walking around the halls of Skadden telling people to buy Bitcoin.” That…
New ep out now with @TravisScher of @NorthIslandVC! We cover founding North Island Ventures, spotting great founders, navigating crypto cycles, and the future of tokenization. Listen if you want to understand how top VCs think, including Travis’s simple 3 I’s framework:…
There is a lot of discussion around tokenizing equities. Most everything I’ve seen on this subject has been wrong. The primary reason to put equities on blockchain is to use equities as collateral (in defi and CEXs) with secondary benefits of cross settlement (equities to BTC,…
The many tokenized stocks announcements are a meaningless milestone. If they remain registered assets that require permission to transfer then it changes nothing. The real win would be tokenized equites that are bearer shares. So that they can integrate into DeFi. Commission…
My colleagues @robmwilliams_ and @GregMRosenthal put together an excellent primer on the state and future of tokenization. Its early innings, but incumbents and startups are combining to rebuild the world's financial infrastructure on crypto rails.

Solana Accelerate in NYC was jam packed with insightful content - way too much for any individual to take in. So, we used a suite of AI tools to consolidate 170+ talks totaling 30+ hours into a digestible summary of key takeaways; plus a more in-depth summary of each talk for…
EtherFi Cash is the best product in existence for bringing DeFi into the real world, and the numbers are starting to prove it.

I got excited about blockchains 10 years ago because I believed they had the potential to enable a hyper efficient, digitally native, global payments system, with self custody and without unnecessary intermediaries. There's been a lot of bullshit driven cycles since then, but…

Ilya's talk on the pre-training hitting the data wall and data being AI's fossil fuel has me thinking of what data's "fracking moment" will be - when we find an enormous amount of a previously finite substance. My dark horse bet is zkTLS
🎉 Big news: Hexagate has been acquired by @chainalysis! We share a mission: to build a safer, more transparent financial system. Together, our two companies will provide a holistic risk solution that includes prevention, compliance and remediation for web3. 👇
Time is a thief... and so are gas fees 🤧 Up until this point, there hasn't been a better way. Painful wait times and high blood pressure fees are all you've known. Every transaction adds up and takes a toll, but that ends now. Because CORAL is here, and CORAL cares.
There will come a day when all new assets are issued on-chain by default, and tradfi exchange launches are an afterthought. Total $ETH ETFs have $1.9b combined. @ether_fi has over $9b. Maybe that day is closer than we think.
.@axelar TVL approaches $600m. That's just below @Optimism placing it as #16 across all chains. 🤯 Are you not interchained? Deploy your token at interchain.axelar.dev
