Prediction markets seemingly siphoned attention from alts this cycle. Friends outside of crypto never talk about alts now, just Kalshi/Polymarket. What else is either: 1) net new or 2) old but entered primetime (eg. pred. markets, perp dexs) as THE conduits for speculation?

Monad's choice of @withAUSD as its core stablecoin is very interesting within 2 days, Monad holds the largest share of AUSD (and it is growing fast) Monad is choosing the unique route of not "aligning" with USDT and USDC and I love this direction

Alternative Bloomberg headline: “How stablecoins enable a free market for money.”

Wrapping my first ninety days at Agora. One thing keeps standing out in discovery. Stablecoins are merging with traditional finance faster than I expected. Stablecoins are disruption, but the reason isn't just speed, programmability, or interoperability.

Who else did you evaluate? No one. Because this was a cabal play where Anish was installed. Stripe is objectively the worst possible provider to meet Hyperliquid power users. They don’t have 24:7 fiat capabilities, Customers, or any of the remotely important MMs onboarded for

The Competition Is On. Who’ll Win the USDH Ticker on Hyperliquid? I spoke with two of the potential issuers, @Nick_van_Eck (Agora) and Bhau Kotecha (@paxoslabs), about: 📈 Why the ticker matters for HL’s future 💰 Community public good vs go-to-market scale 🚀 What wins votes

Dear Hyperliquid community, We are impressed by your product, the technology, the decentralized governance, and the method of your rollout. And we think we can be part of a trusted, compliant solution. We provide research to the community, for free, in an effort to be

This is a massive risk to the Hyperliquid community that has materialized before. It is why we were so pointed about it in our proposal. If the Native Markets proposal is successful, I would strongly urge them to use any provider that uses GSIBs (and there are several). twitter.com/Nick_van_Eck/statu...
