Super excited to be building critical infrastructure for the next wave of DeFi adoption @KairosSwap
Kαιrόs@KairosSwap

Interest rate swaps are a $500T market in TradFi. DeFi has no equivalent. Today we are thrilled to announce our $2.4M seed to change that. Led by @6thManVentures, with participation from @Lattice_Fund | @AdvancitCapital | @CompaVC $300M+ beta volume, @Alliance graduates, Mainnet coming soon. Whitepaper linked below ⬇️

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America. OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

A 27-year-old high school dropout is racing to bring a nuclear reactor online faster than much of the industry thought possible. Backed by Trump allies, Palantir-linked investors and a deregulation push in Washington, Valar Atomics embodies Silicon Valley’s new brute-force approach to nuclear energy.

@pamzy911 It’s time for DeFi to be taken seriously with professional risk management and hedging tools

GM Builders. Yesterday I got a message from this project founder @0xVinnieJames and he told me about what they're building. I was so impressed to see a new level of DeFi yield that combined Eth and base together in one ecosystem Kairos is building interest rate swaps for DeFi essentially and they're bringing one of the TradFi’s largest financial primitives onchain. Which means; "Instead of relying purely on volatile floating yields", their protocol focuses on fixed-rate strategies, that allow users to hedge interest rate exposure more efficiently across lending markets and yield-bearing assets. What surprised me the most is that a project with this less attention has already secured $2.4M in seed round And over $300M+ in beta notional swap volume Built on Ethereum + Base They are targeting infrastructure around predictable yield markets rather than short-term hype cycles (More focus on long-term holders) That was the key point of what the founder highlighted to me earlier today. The bigger picture here is that as DeFi matures, capital efficiency and stable yield products become far more important than just chasing APY spikes. And Projects working on interest rate infrastructure could quietly become critical backend layers for the next phase of onchain finance. Interesting one to keep on the radar. @KairosSwap will launch soon 🔜

@PalmerLuckey @elidourado The Post Office had outlived its purpose, time to shut it down entirely. We don’t need to force carriers to deliver mail to the emerging frontier anymore. Replace the entire thing with an email inbox tied to each address and drop physical delivery all together

It is insane that America has given a monopoly on letter delivery to a quasi-governmental agency that then uses it to flood our homes with useless garbage against our will. America would never allow FedEx, UPS, DHL, or anyone else to force this on us.

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail. Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

@AlexHormozi You seem to be ignoring the fact that most of the work in court is the judge and jury deciding which facts are true and who is full of shit

It’ll be interesting when AI replaces judges and juries. Then eventually, attorneys (since they’re all using it to make both sides of the arguments anyways). Which means we’ll eventually just submit facts and get an outcome.

@MilkRoad @MOXT_ Why does the “recipient in rural Mexico or the Philippines still need pesos”? If you answer that question, you’ll realize crypto solves all of this independently without the need for a sketchy middleman like $WU

Western Union $WU is down 70% from its 2021 high. Wall Street has written it off as a dying remittance giant getting eaten by Wise, Remitly, PayPal, and crypto. Our lead researcher, @moxt_, thinks Wall St is missing the second business growing in the background (bookmark this). Here's what he's seeing: Yes, the legacy retail business is shrinking. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $983M, margins compressed to 13% from 18-19%, EPS missed by 35-40%. That part isn't coming back. But it's one of two businesses on the same network. Digital transactions grew 21% YoY and now account for 42% of remittance volume. Travel money and bill pay revenue grew 24%. Management is guiding 2026 to 5-8% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $1.75-$1.85, the first growth year after multiple years of decline. Either guidance is wrong, or the stock pice is. $WU runs 360,000 active agent locations across 200+ countries and 130 currencies. About 90% of those are outside the U.S., concentrated in the corridors where banking access is weakest and remittance demand is highest. Which means the moat isn't the agents themselves, but what has to exist around them: Money transmitter licenses in nearly every U.S. state plus equivalent permissions in 200+ countries, accumulated over a century. AML, KYC, sanctions screening, and FX conversion infrastructure across 130 currencies means any new entrant is looking at a 5-7 year build to replicate it. So does this network get more or less valuable when money moves onchain? The rest of the payments industry is voting with their checkbooks... - PayPal shipped $PYUSD. - Stripe paid $1.1B for Bridge. - Visa is integrating $USDC for cross-border settlement. - MoneyGram has been running a USDC off-ramp on Stellar since 2022. USDC settles in seconds, but a recipient in rural Mexico or the Philippines still needs pesos. Somebody has to handle the last mile. WU already does. @moxt_ maps four revenue streams: 1. Off-ramp fees from third-party stablecoins ($70-810M at maturity) 2. Working capital release from $USDPT ($300M one-time) 3. Reserve income on USDPT float ($12-18M recurring) 4. Internal FX/wire savings. Owning USDPT is what turns WU from a stablecoin off-ramp partner into a stablecoin company that happens to own the largest off-ramp network in the world. All of that said... the risks are real. State-by-state stablecoin reserve recognition could stall, crypto-native off-ramp specialists could fragment the opportunity, legacy pricing pressure could outpace the pivot, and ~35% of CMT revenue comes from U.S. outflows, which makes immigration policy a macro overlay. None individually kills the opportuntiy - but two together would. So is the current price of ~$9.20 enough to justify a position, or do the risks dominate? @moxt_ put a verdict on it in his latest Milk Road PRO report... To get his buy/sell verdict and the price levels he's watching, check the link in the first comment.

@alexandroff_h @KairosSwap Sort of, yes. You post your LST as collateral, then at the end of the term payments are netted out so you receive your fixed rate and pay the floating rate back to the AMM

@cryptoreine Not at all different from ETFs, this will just result in large firms holding more voting power to underlying stock as it gets tokenized

Most of what gets called "tokenization" today is just digitization: a token wrapper on assets still serviced off-chain... that actually adds cost: you end up maintaining 2 operational stacks instead of replacing 1.
