What Bitcoin is to payments, @Yellow is to trading and the trading industry is 10 times bigger than the payment industry.

In 2019, I went to Chiang Mai to become a Reiki master. I got a free scooter with my Airbnb and thought, "Awesome, there's no need to pay for the bike!" What I didn't think about was checking the brakes and tires beforehand. So I crashed twice in my first hour ever driving a scooter. I fell, ripped myself open, and never fell again. I guess that's how you learn. You fall, and you realize you're not the king of the world. A lot of traders in crypto could learn from that before the market humbles them.

Our interpretation on crypto assets—grounded in existing law and informed by extensive public input—acknowledges what the former administration refused to recognize... Most crypto assets are not themselves securities.

I own a painted collection of crypto guys where you’re included - would be nice to see it there at your University. You are there because of your role in bringing adoption to the financial industry by making Bitcoin available as an investment.

Solana sucks! It’s continuously being pumped by unethical gangsters and backed by meme coins.

Assume you have a research agent, and you want it to pull gated data to scan for arbitrage opportunities. Right now, this agent has to stop and wait for a human to authorize access. The gap is growing between what AI agents can do and what they are allowed to do end-to-end because payments are lagging. Yellow Network uses state channels to enable fast, low-cost micropayments, creating economies that empower agentic payments. @modernfintech shows how fast and simple the Yellow Network is, which opens the way for agents to engage in pay-per-article, API usage billing, subscription services, hourly billing, real-time payroll, and other types of microtransactions.

McKinsey suggest agentic commerce (AI agents transacting autonomously on behalf of businesses and consumers) will mediate $3T to $5T by 2030. But for the agentic economy to really pop up, there's a need for programmable payment rail that can keep up with autonomous systems. There's a need for @Yellow.

I remember studying HTTP 402 'Payment Required' back in university. The protocol intended to enable the native money of the internet. Proposed, but never implemented. That was until a few months ago, when I was watching one of Steven's videos and realized that we have finally built HTTP 402. In the video, Steven shows the tipping app we created, which uses @Yellow technology to move money with just one click. It's pure magic to think that the protocol was proposed so many years ago, and now we are taking the theoretical basis and put the internet of value into action. Link below.

Yellow is designed from the ground up to be the high-frequency settlement layer. Agents wlll be making millions of micro transactions per second, purchasing compute, services, storage, trading data, and negotiating API calls in real-time.

AI is on fire! > Thousands of happy @openclaw users > Acquisition of @moltbook by @Meta > @AnthropicAI's Claude doubles usage promotion Agents are absolutely taking over, and they need impeccable infrastructure they can trust. as @fatkhuloff hypothesized, crypto might never have been meant to be used by humans, and was instead intended as the infra layer for AI. This would explain the awful user experience we've been battling for over a decade, as well as the mercenary capital phenonmenon. Now agents are coming, and they are looking for durable rails to transact with each other. Assuming agents will prioritize liquidity, safety, speed, and low transaction fees, among other properties, @Yellow fits well.

As we all are trying to understand how to live through the AI revolution, I ask myself one question: What happens when most of the participants in the economy are not humans?

The harsh truth of launching a crypto exchange is that you might spend months building technology and then fail due to issues with liquidity. @Yellow directly addresses the liquidity issues for brokers and, in this sense, is a natural evolution from Helios Tech to Openware and now to the Yellow ecosystem. Whereas Helios Tech and Openware provided the technical understanding, Yellow takes it a step further and helps brokers solve their liquidity issues, making success more likely. Instead of leaving brokers to fight over liquidity, Yellow is connecting brokers into a shared, high-speed liquidity network. As a result, brokers access deep order books and near-instant settlement without locking up millions in collateral or bleeding capital to market makers.

Institutions feel this most acutely. They need size, depth, and access to multiple markets without the nonsense of bridging and incompatible rails. @Yellow is a truly unified layer, technologically and in terms of rules, to make crypto compatible with traditional markets.

Back in the early meetup days, I used to host Bitcoin poker games just to get my friends to install a wallet for a $100 pot, which was the perfect excuse to teach them about the history of money and understand the value Bitcoin brings. One of the guys from those early poker nights ended up selling his business for over 1,000 Bitcoin. Just a few days after he bought in, the price tanked by 50%, but because he deeply understood the asset he was holding, he didn't panic. He held onto his stack until it surged by a few hundred percent, eventually sold a portion, and kept the rest. He is incredibly rich today. If you want to build conviction and truly understand the value of Bitcoin, I highly recommend The Bitcoin Standard. Now is a good time to read it because the world is full of uncertainty, and a natural response whereas conviction lacks is to prioritize short-term price action which typically means losses. The book perfectly captures why building foundational understanding of Bitcoin so critical: something Saifedean calls having a 'low time preference' and recognizing true hard money.

I’d rather pay $0.10 to read an article in the NY Post than having to deal with 20 subscriptions. We have a chance to give a second life to HTTP 402 "Payment Required" with @Yellow, and that is the key to unlocking the global digital economy for billions of people.

The main reason institutional capital hesitates to enter crypto is the broken market architecture that forces them to surrender assets to specific exchanges, creating unacceptable counterparty risk. Furthermore, pre-funding multiple platforms to access fragmented liquidity is highly capital inefficient for large funds. Yellow Network is solving this fundamental problem by building a decentralized clearing system that acts as an invisible foundational layer for the market. Our infrastructure aggregates global liquidity, allowing institutions to trade trustlessly without giving up custody of their assets until final settlement. Our implementation of the state channel technology ensures these trades are executed almost instantly and at a fraction of a cent. By solving this trust issue at the base layer, we are finally opening the doors for real capital to flow.

Current blockchains use 30,000 computers to supervise transactions. That is incredibly inefficient for high-frequency trading. You can't have 30,000 supervisors and expect speed. One answer is state channels. Think of it like a bar tab or the app similar to Splitwise. You don't process a transaction for every single drink. Instead you keep a tally offline, and you only settle the final invoice on the ledger when you're done. @Yellow allows you and your counterparty lock money into a smart contract. As the market moves, the profit is streamed to you instantly. No counterparty risk. No trusting the exchange. Yellow enables trustless trading. It's a big deal for institutional players.

I don't think CEXs are inherently 'bad,' but from an architectural standpoint, they are an anomaly in a decentralized world. My goal with @Yellow is to provide a decentralized finance backbone that allows liquidity to peer across the market. Safe, efficient, and truly global.
