The SEC just released the most important piece of U.S. crypto regulatory guidance ever produced. 68 pages. 148 footnotes. A 5-category token taxonomy. Safe harbors for staking, mining, wrapping, and airdrops. And a separation doctrine that changes how every token deal gets structured. Initial takeaways in this thread. Full analysis in my article below.

🚨 BREAKING: Intel unveils “Heracles” chip that makes encrypted computing thousands of times faster. Heracles is a new processor designed to dramatically accelerate Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a technology that allows computers to perform calculations directly on encrypted data. It's presented at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, the chip can verify encrypted queries in about 14 microseconds, compared with roughly 15 milliseconds on a standard Intel Xeon server CPU. That’s a speed improvement of up to 5,000×. Heracles includes 64 compute cores and high-bandwidth memory, specifically optimized for encrypted workloads used in cloud computing and AI. Why this matters? Fully Homomorphic Encryption has long been considered one of the “holy grails” of cybersecurity. Normally, data must be decrypted before it can be processed, which creates a moment where sensitive information can potentially be exposed. FHE changes that 👀! With FHE, data can remain encrypted the entire time while still being analyzed or processed. If hardware like Heracles makes this practical at scale, it could enable: > Cloud services that analyze data without ever seeing it > AI models trained on encrypted medical or financial data > Secure collaboration between organizations without sharing raw data In simple terms, Computers could use your data without ever actually seeing it.

Very soon there are going to be more AI agents than humans making transactions. They can’t open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet. Think about it.

Centralized narrative. “Your X profile will become your financial identity.” But correctly notices that WeChat in China has built a payment network on top of a social network. And so has Facebook, GMail, iMessage, Telegram, etc. The latter did it in a decentralized way, sorta.
Teslaconomics@Teslaconomics

I don’t think people truly understand what’s about to happen with 𝕏 Money. This is Elon going back to his roots - back to x.com - and building what he always wanted in the first place: one place that runs your entire financial life. When he rebranded Twitter to 𝕏 in 2023, he said straight up that we’re adding the ability to conduct your entire financial world. He even said you may not even need a traditional bank account. Most people brushed that off. And now it’s becoming real. 𝕏 Money has already been live in closed beta internally within the company. A limited external beta is expected soon, and they’ve already secured money transmitter licenses in over 40 states plus DC. 𝕏 Payments is registered with FinCEN. Visa is officially partnered. You’ll be able to fund your wallet instantly, send peer-to-peer payments, move money to your bank, and eventually use a debit card. And I think this is just the beginning. This will probably start as a simple wallet where you can send money as easily as sending a DM. With this technology, you can pay creators, pay subscriptions, pay whatever bills, shop inside the app, get paid inside the app, and much more. Then, there will be high-yield savings, you can invest, you can get loans, have money market accounts, maybe even treasury access, cool smart cashtags that let you see live stock prices in your timeline and execute trades seamlessly, crypto integration, potentially full asset management… the list goes on and on… Elon literally said this is meant to be the central source of ALL monetary transactions. Bro… think about that for a sec. Your 𝕏 profile becomes your financial identity. Everyone you follow is already there. Everyone you interact with is already there. That social graph becomes your distribution engine. Like, you won’t need a separate banking app, no need for a separate investing app, no need for a separate payment app… this all lives where you already spend your time. Right here on 𝕏. Look at WeChat in China, which Elon always alluded to. Payments, messaging, shopping, investing - all integrated in one app. It handles $ trillions in volume and became deeply embedded in everyone’s daily life. Now 𝕏 is building the Western version of that, but with a more global reach, and xAI’s AI layered on top of all this. Before you call me crazy, you have to understand how big this opportunity is. Digital payments globally are measured in the tens of $ trillions of dollars annually. Even just capturing a small slice of that across hundreds of millions, and eventually a billion, users can change everything. 𝕏 already has the audience. That lowers customer acquisition costs significantly. Add fintech revenue on top of ads, plus float, plus lending, plus investing tools, and we’re talking about a completely different valuation profile. Now, $44B for this company looks like the bargain of the decade… this was one of the main reasons I invested in 𝕏. And if they execute the way they’ve executed at Tesla and SpaceX, this could truly fundamentally redefine how people handle $ . Most people today still see 𝕏 as just a social media app. I see it as the foundation of a financial system layered on top of a global network. Ultimately becoming the “everything” app. And this I believe is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Elon is calling this a game-changer. I believe him.

Ray Dalio
Ray Dalio@RayDalio·
All empires since the Dutch have used capitalism to create a virtuous cycle that leads to an empire’s demise.What happens when an empire can no longer borrow the money necessary to repay its debts? History shows us that having too much debt during an economic downturn leads to a classic, self-reinforcing cycle where: 1) The empire can no longer borrow the money to repay its debts 2) It prints a lot of new money, which devalues the currency and raises inflation 3) Living standards decline, leading to the rise of political extremism 4) Turbulent economic conditions undermine productivity and there is conflict about how to divide the shrinking resources 5) Populist leaders emerge pledging to take control and bring about order Ultimately, this failure to control the anarchy is when democracy is most at risk. #principles #raydalio #history #debt

We're watching the birth of a new economic model. January 2026 just hit 108,435 layoffs. The highest January since 2009. Up 118% from last year. Up 205% from December. And here's the number that's even more important: New hires announced in January: 5,306. The LOWEST since they started tracking in 2009. For every 1 person companies announced hiring, they announced cutting 20. UPS is slashing 30,000 jobs. Amazon is cutting 16,000. Dow is restructuring thousands. Healthcare just hit its worst month since April 2020. But here's what makes this terrifying: GDP is still growing at 4%. The economy looks fine on paper. Yet companies are firing at 2009 rates. Wharton professor Mohamed El-Erian called it out: "These layoffs are occurring while GDP continues to grow at approximately 4 percent, accelerating the decoupling of employment from economic growth." Read that again. Employment is decoupling from growth. Companies are making more money with fewer people. This is something new. The economy is growing. Profits are up. And jobs are disappearing anyway. AI was cited for 7,624 of January's layoffs. 7% of the total. But that's just the companies willing to admit it. Every CEO is talking about AI. Every earnings call mentions it. The market rewards companies that announce AI efficiency. The real number is probably 3x higher. The funny part is that "contract loss" was the #1 reason cited. 30,784 layoffs. In other words, companies aren't renewing deals. They're pulling back. They're expecting less business. This is what happens when corporations get spooked at the same time. These layoff decisions were made in late 2025. Before the new year even started, executives looked at 2026 and said: "Cut now." The narrative has been "no-hire, no-fire." Companies aren't growing headcount but they're not shrinking either. That story just died. We're now in "no-hire, YES-fire." Hiring is frozen. Layoffs are accelerating. And the economy keeps growing. If this continues, we're watching the birth of a new economic model. One where prosperity and employment finally divorce for good. What do you think?

🚨 HERE’S WHY BITCOIN IS NONSTOP DUMPING RIGHT NOW If you still think $BTC trades like a supply-and-demand asset, you MUST read this carefully. Because that market no longer exists. What you’re watching right now is not normal price action. It’s not “weak hands.” It’s not sentiment. And it’s definitely not retail selling. Most people are completely unaware what’s happening. And by the time it becomes obvious, the damage is already done. This move didn’t start today. It’s been building quietly under the surface for months. And now it’s accelerating. Here’s the truth: The moment supply can be synthetically created, scarcity is gone. And when scarcity is gone, price stops being discovered on-chain and starts being set in derivatives. That is exactly what happened to Bitcoin. And it’s the same structural break that already happened to: → Gold → Silver → Oil → Equities Once derivatives took over. The original Bitcoin thesis is broken. Bitcoin’s valuation was built on two ideas: → A hard cap of 21 million → No rehypothecation That framework died the moment Wall Street layered this on top of the chain: → Cash-settled futures → Perpetual swaps → Options → ETFs → Prime broker lending → Wrapped BTC → Total return swaps From that point forward Bitcoin supply became theoretically INFINITE. Not on-chain. But in price discovery, which is what actually matters. Synthetic Float Ratio (SFR). The metric that explains everything. Once synthetic supply overwhelms real supply, price no longer responds to demand. It responds to positioning, hedging, and liquidation flows. Wall Street can now trade against Bitcoin. They’re not guessing direction. They’re doing what they do in every derivatives-dominated market: 1⃣ Create unlimited paper BTC 2⃣ Short into rallies 3⃣ Force liquidations 4⃣ Cover lower 5⃣ Repeat This isn’t “betting.” It’s inventory manufacturing. One real BTC can now simultaneously back: → An ETF share → A futures contract → A perpetual swap → An options delta → A broker loan → A structured note All at THE SAME TIME. That’s six claims on one coin. That is not a free market. That is a fractional-reserve price system wearing a Bitcoin mask. Ignore it if you want, but don’t pretend you weren’t warned. I’ve been calling Bitcoin tops and bottoms for over a decade now, and I’ll do it again in 2026. Follow and turn on notifications before it's too late.

Global Markets Investor@GlobalMktObserv·
⚠️The US labor market is deteriorating: The number of Americans working multiple jobs hit a record 9.3 MILLION, surpassing peaks seen during the 2008 Financial Crisis and the 2020 Crisis. At the same time, average weekly hours worked have fallen to 34.5 hours, near the lowest since the Financial Crisis. The gap suggests workers are taking 2nd and 3rd jobs not by choice but out of necessity, as hours are cut and primary employment fails to provide sufficient income. The job market is WEAK.

You've doubtless read the numerous headlines these past few days on how Xi Jinping called for the Yuan to "become a global reserve currency." That's true, he actually said that. But, as is often the case, Western media are missing the forest for the trees. This is extracted from a speech in which Xi laid out a much grander vision of what a “modern financial system with Chinese characteristics” (中国特色现代金融体系) would look like, essentially China's answer to Wall Street. Fascinatingly, and in stark contrast to the actual Wall Street, Xi's main argument is that what matter most aren't the institutions or status that China is seeking to build up - such as having the Yuan as a global reserve currency. Those are secondary. Xi argues that what truly will make or break the system is its moral culture. As he describes it, the Western financial system is nihilistic, counterproductive and ultimately politically destabilizing. Nihilistic in the sense that finance without moral purpose becomes self-referential - it stops serving anything beyond itself. He calls it "脱实向虚" ("drifting from the real economy into the virtual"): when finance detaches from the real economy, it loses its reason for existing. It’s not creating wealth, it’s just moving numbers around. Counterproductive in the sense that it actually destroys the thing it depends on. As Xi explains "if [finance] becomes obsessed with self-circulation and self-expansion, it becomes water without a source, a tree without roots" (无源之水、无本之木). In other words, finance detached from the real economy - like a tree that has severed its own roots - ultimately kills the economy. Lastly, politically destabilizing in the sense that financial elites captured by greed become ungovernable - they corrupt regulators, buy politicians, evade accountability. The Qiushi commentary on Xi's speech is extremely blunt about this (qstheory.cn/20260131/f4889…): they say Xi seeks to "avoid the Western predicament of financial oligarchs hijacking public policy and deepening social division." “Financial oligarchs hijacking public policy” (“金融寡头绑架公共政策”) is remarkably blunt language. It's essentially saying that the West allowed oligarchs to capture the state (not wrong!). To avoid all of this, Xi lays out a vision for - in many ways - an anti-Wall Street: a 金融强国 ("financial powerhouse") that puts serving the real economy at its core. A system that - Xi argues - will ultimately make the Yuan a global reserve currency precisely because, ultimately, a global reserve currency is backed by trust. That's the forest: how you build trust is what matters. In my latest article I break down the full speech, how exactly Xi proposes to build this anti-Wall Street and what it reveals about a question we in the West have stopped asking: what is our financial system actually for?

Ray Dalio: "The USD may lose its reserve currency status." Tariffs and political tensions are eroding trust in the USD. Commodity prices are skyrocketing, and central banks are now holding more gold than the USD for the first time in decades. Ray Dalio saw this a year ago.
