this is great but what if we had corporate bonds as collateral esp blue chips like Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet
@xStocksFi @OndoFinance can you tokenise that?
Kamino@kamino
Galaxy (NASDAQ: $GLXY) is now live in the @SuperstateInc Market on Kamino, bringing a NASDAQ-registered public equity onchain as usable collateral on @solana. Eligible investors can borrow USDC and CASH against GLXY while maintaining full equity exposure and access to 24/7 onchain capital markets.

@NonFungibleCats @PabloSabbatella @Raph_Bloch @EthCC Those are all tradfi issues. When you try to integrate tradfi into crypto you’ll have to adapt them. That wasn’t the case until recently
English

@kadiogluakin @PabloSabbatella @Raph_Bloch @EthCC You can't automate what you don't understand manually. Blockchain tech absolutely does not get rid of the need for accruals or needing to run a concurrent set of books for IRS/tax purposes and SEC/financial reporting. It many cases it actually increases the need because more data

I had coffee with a banker attending his first @EthCC.
He was surprised by how little some crypto builders understand TradFi: "They’re very strong on tech. But they don’t really understand finance - how it works, why it exists. You can’t replace or improve a system you don’t understand."
And the problem is, he’s right.
English

@Raph_Bloch @NonFungibleCats @PabloSabbatella @EthCC Yes, I agree with that. I’m just pointing out why crypto natives have a hard time understanding tradfi systems. It’s because the assets they work with didn’t have many of the frictions of tradfi
English

@kadiogluakin @NonFungibleCats @PabloSabbatella @EthCC I think that’s exactly where the problem lies.
To improve things - or even completely transform them - you need to understand where you’re starting from and how it works, even if it’s not working well. Otherwise, you won’t get anywhere.
English

@NonFungibleCats @PabloSabbatella @Raph_Bloch @EthCC They don’t understand them because they didn’t need to. The tech inherently automates many of those issues that tradfi had to develop systems around.
English

@PabloSabbatella @Raph_Bloch @EthCC accruals, settlement, controls, governance, flow of funds & regulations to name a few are some of the parts of tradfi that the many crypto builders don't understand

@mil000 And God said let there be light. And the light was also used by teams at Notion, Loveable, Anthropic and YCombinator. And so he inferred that it was good.

@BuySellBA A prosecutor is the government's lawyer by concept. Of course he's going to declare the decree constitutional
Prosecutors don't make judicial decisions, they argue at the court. Citizenships are still granted by the courts in Argentina

🇦🇷Major update on Argentine Citizenship rules 🛂
A federal prosecutor just declared the government's new citizenship decree (DNU 366/2025) CONSTITUTIONAL, dealing a massive blow to lawsuits trying to overturn it.
Here is what it means for foreigners:
1️⃣ The Old Way: Applying directly to a federal judge is out.
2️⃣ The New Way: It is now a strict, 100% digital administrative process handled entirely by Migraciones (DNM).
3️⃣ The Ruling: The prosecutor ruled this is completely legal because if Migraciones denies your application, you still have the constitutional right to appeal to a judge afterward.
Foreigners (many caught up in the government's crackdown on Russian "birth tourism") sued, claiming only judges should have the power to grant citizenship. This ruling shuts that argument down.
Bottom line: The stricter rules—including the mandate for two years of continuous residency without leaving the country—are here to stay.
The government recently passed a decree (DNU 366/2025) changing the rules. Now, foreigners have to apply through a government administrative agency (the National Directorate of Migrations) via a digital system.
🇷🇺The Lawsuit: A foreigner (identified in the court documents only by their initials, D.G.) filed a lawsuit saying, "This new rule is unconstitutional! A government clerk shouldn't have the power to handle citizenships; only a judge should."
The Ruling: The prosecutor looked at the case and said, "The new rule is perfectly legal. Migraciones is allowed to process the paperwork. If they end up denying your citizenship, you still have the right to appeal that rejection to a judge afterward. Because a judge still has the final say in a dispute, your constitutional rights are not being violated."
The applicant was essentially trying to force the courts to process their paperwork the "old way." The prosecutor's ruling just means their lawsuit should be thrown out, and they will be forced to submit their citizenship application through the new Migraciones system instead.
In 2023 and 2024, Argentina experienced a massive wave of Russian "birth tourism"—thousands of Russian families flew to Argentina to have babies, which allowed the parents to quickly petition federal judges for citizenship and passports. The government specifically created this new decree (DNU 366/2025) to shut that pipeline down, taking the power away from lenient judges, moving it to Migraciones, and adding strict new residency requirements.
As a result, almost all of the lawsuits currently fighting this new decree in federal court have been filed by Russian citizens who got caught in the middle of the rule change.

@tommyswriting It’s nice, too perfect almost. Great to build stuff and make money, then go elsewhere and enjoy life

It's really weird, but living in LatAm for almost 1.5 years has made me much more proud to be from the USA.
It's so easy to take the United States for granted when you live there.
The efficiency, the cleanliness, the wealth, the opulence, the speed of everything. It's truly a one-of-a-kind place.
It's obviously not a perfect country, but damn, there is way too much negativity floating around the internet about the USA.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
It's built on the back of forever wars and slavery. That's the cost of an empire.
But that aside, there's not another place on Earth with the same opportunity and access to essentially everything you'd ever need to live a good life.
I realize I'm in LatAm for now, but this is less of a reflection of the US, and more of a reflection of my own urge to travel and learn Spanish and immerse myself in other cultures.
It's truly impossible to know what your fishbowl is like if you've never left it for substantial amounts of time.

@MyLatinLife USA all the way. Still the best and easiest country to make money.
Banking works great too.

I told you guys before Argentinean meat is one of the worst in the world
Their farms switched from free roaming grass fed beef to factory farmed feedlots like America
None of it is original great Argentinean meat that they were famous for 30 years ago
Uruguay still has free roaming grass fed beef
A tragedy really
Great article on this: traveldeeper.co/culture-food/t…

China 🇨🇳 rejected 22 tons of meat from Argentina 🇦🇷 after finding chloramphenicol, an antibiotic banned for human consumption for 30 years, and suspended exports from one of Argentina's main meatpacking plants.

Those wheels you’re looking at are 0.75 millimeters thick. That’s half the thickness of a US dime. Each one was carved from a single block of aluminum, and NASA sent six of them to Mars knowing they’d eventually shred.
Curiosity was built for a 2-year mission. It landed in August 2012, and by December that year NASA had already extended the mission indefinitely. Thirteen years and 35.5 kilometers later, the rover is still going, but the wheels started cracking just 14 months in. The damage came faster than anyone at JPL predicted. Sharp embedded rocks were punching straight through the skin between the treads.
So NASA assembled a Wheel Wear Tiger Team (a crisis problem-solving tradition that goes back to Apollo 13) and got to work. In 2017, they uploaded a traction control algorithm from Earth that adjusts each wheel’s speed in real time based on the terrain, reducing force on the front wheels by 20%. They rerouted the rover to softer ground and started driving backward when possible, because pulling wheels over rocks produces less force than pushing them into rocks.
The wildest part: if enough treads snap off, Curiosity is designed to find a sharp rock on Mars and use it to deliberately rip out the damaged inner section of its own wheel. JPL tested this on a replica rover and found Curiosity can keep driving on just the outer third. They predict this won’t be needed until around 2034.
Every 1,000 meters, the rover pulls over and uses the camera on its robotic arm to photograph its own wheels so engineers on Earth can count every crack. Each wheel also has tiny holes that spell “JPL” in Morse code, which Curiosity uses to measure distance by photographing its own tracks in the dirt.
These photos directly changed the next rover. When NASA built Perseverance, engineers 3D-printed about 70 different tread designs before landing on 48 curved treads instead of Curiosity’s 24, with thicker skin. They tested the new wheels over 60 kilometers and got zero damage by Curiosity’s original failure definition. “A boring graph with no data on it,” as one JPL engineer put it.
A $2.5 billion machine doing self-surgery with rocks on another planet because the mission outlasted its design by 6x.

A company with ~$200 billion AUM announces its first full audit after 12 years in business
USDT is a liability on Tether's balance sheet. Not bankruptcy-remote
Tether could open a 100x leveraged position on any altcoin with the funds backing your USDT and there is nothing structurally stopping them
Great milestone though

@hispanicnomad @flybondioficial The exact same thing happened to me, the only difference is that I didn’t receive the notification of the flight getting cancelled until I arrived at the airport to check in. @flybondioficial is truly the worst airline in the world

Flybondi just cancelled my flight to Cordoba, less than 12 hours before it was supposed to happen
They had already changed the schedule 3 times, and now this
How is a company such as this still going? @flybondioficial
