Stablecoins will become the ultimate instrument for interest capture. In the end, holders should earn close to the central bank rate. leakage to intermediaries should be minimal. Interest shouldn’t disappear just because funds move, trade, or sit as collateral. It should accrue everywhere. Always.

The world is changing, FAST. Software is going to be fast and cheap to create. Agent are going to be prevalent. Value will accrue at the platforms that capture the network effect where interactions happen. Blockchains are perfect platforms for this new world. Even critical. But dramatic improvement are still needed for blockchain to play that roll. Privacy, compliance, scale, scale, scale….

Sorry accountants Paying taxes is so time consuming and cumbersome… can we PLZ fast forward to the future where we buy everything on chain, every action sends the fees to the right government wallet, and after the year ends the leftovers are automatically settled?

The biggest blocker for web3 financial adoption is the seamless compliant implementation of the flow: Wallet->Tradfi bank account Remove this barrier, and people can actually start using it to buy things

A crittical differentiator of the blockchain economy is that apps don't control your assets. If a token is yours you can use it, transfer it, swap it from multiple apps. These include apps that didn't even exist when you acquired your asset. This important differentiator does not only give users more options and power. It allows to ecosystem to develop in a more free way, explore new use cases and come with new useful primitives.

Is tokenization the hottest rend? No. It is more inevitability then a trend. It is not an application or a function. It's the on-boarding of any asset or right to rails that enables multiple functions. It begins with transferring, exchanging, lending and collateralizing, basically better faster, cheaper, more transparent rails. But this is just the begging, merely better implementation of existing function. The next obvious step is combing these function in a more capital efficient way. Beyond that are less obvious functions that we'll see in the future. What are they? you tell me...

@ItayMalinger I can’t tell yet 😉

The market is starting to realize that much of the traditional financial activity will move to blockchain rails. Current systems were able not only to prove the advantages but to evolve new valuable financial primitive like perps. We are working toward a blockchain system to be able to run real world financial system at scale without compromizing decentralization, privacy or compliance.

@ItayMalinger Making web3 seamless

In 2026 we will introduce to the world the infra that would unlock web3's true potential. So much has progressed due to so much work by so many people during 2025: clear regulation for stablecoins, perp exchanging proving real world value , and many more steps in the right direction. This is just the begining, stay tuned...

Happy New Year 🫡 This year reinforced something I’ve believed for a while: progress comes from steady iteration, revisiting fundamentals, and fixing things that most people don’t see (Yes, all of the boring work) That’s where systems earn trust though, and that’s the work I’m doubling down on going into 2026

Technical failures don’t come from a lack of capacity, they come from poor coordination under stress. That’s where infra providers must do the extra work to ensure resilience under any condition.

🧵 (1/7) הקשר בין סטיב וויטקוף, דונלד טראמפ והחנינה של מנכ״ל ביינאנס לשעבר (לכאורה) נתחיל מבסיס קצר 👇 Stablecoin הוא מטבע דיגיטלי שמנסה לשמור על ערך זהה למטבע “אמיתי” בדר״כ באמצעות החזקת רזרבות: מזומן, אג״ח ממשלתיות וכו׳. הסטנדרט בשוק כיום: USDT (Tether) ו-USDC, אבל יש עוד.

Long term adoption doesn't come from narrative, It comes from useful, easy to use products and transparent infrastructure users don't need to know about.

Blockchain performance is not just about execution, It's about getting transactions included and committed timely under any network conditions. Bytecode execution is almost never the bottleneck, state access and synchronization almost always is.

Somewhere in early 2022, Avinatan started his first job with @nvidia, a decision that would later prove to be one of the best he ever made in his life. Throughout the entire two years that Avinatan was held captive, @nvidia was much more than just a workplace; it was one big family. The immense support the company gave Avinatan and his family was extraordinary. People who had never even met him held signs with his picture every single day, every meeting began with a mention of him and a call for his return, and they even kept his desk corner untouched until the day he came back. Everyone—absolutely everyone—stepped up and helped: teammates, his direct manager, employees at the Israel site, and senior executives. All of this was done in full coordination and with direct support from the company’s CEO, Jensen Huang, who personally accompanied the family and called repeatedly to ask how they were doing. @nvidia never forgot Avinatan, who had only worked there for a year and a half before he was kidnapped. Seeing how the company stood by him the entire time shows us what true mutual responsibility really means—how even in days of success and prosperity, they stood by their employee, and fought alongside us. Thank you!!

All I want for Christmas is for the SEC and CFTC to continue paving the way for crypto innovation. kudos for the recent developments.

The big wins come from investing the time and resources to solve problems no one dares to touch
