“An AI model that exists without a kind of explicit direction from a human, it's not doing something because of a human interaction. It's actually just existing almost in its own right.” Full interview with @jbrukh and @gensynai CEO @benfielding dropping next week

Congrats to @sethginns, @perkinscr97, and the entire liquid team on their next chapter.

We are grateful to everyone who has helped drive our mission forward. bit.ly/3NRVFB4

1/ Natively tokenized @galaxyhq shares are now available on @Kamino’s Superstate Market. Eligible ex-US investors can bring shares onto @solana through Superstate and use them as collateral to borrow stables. The real shares of a major public company have entered DeFi.

Crypto VCs aren't abandoning Web3 We are doubling down on the future of payments and markets The thesis has never been more clear

“One empirical truth is that the distance between the best proprietary models and the best open source models has been closing” – @AskVenice Founder @ErikVoorhees Dig into deAI adoption with @jbrukh and Erik on the latest episode of Mined with CoinFund

SF-based followers, you know what to do 🌐

If the CLARITY Act passes with a stablecoin yield ban intact, it could accelerate something banks did not intend: capital seeking yield flowing deeper into DeFi. That might actually pull more TradFi institutions onchain to follow their clients. An unintended tailwind for DeFi/TradFi integration. x.com/WuBlockchain/s…

Congratulations to @veda_labs on partnering with @whop to bring onchain yield to its 21M+ users. Consumer DeFi is still early.

Most companies pivot a few times on feature/product. In contrast, the Perle team has pursued their vision of a digitally-native data-for-AI network from day one, demonstrating not only vision but execution along commercial contract and web3 fronts. Wishing them continued success!

Stablecoins proved the model. Dollar-backed tokens. Billion-dollar businesses. Acquisitions. That was the warm-up. What's next: – Multi-currency onchain. Real FX w/ liquidity, not just dollars – Actual programmability. Not just APIs – but conditional, automated money moevement – AI-native capital that moves money based on it's own decision making The next 6-12 months are going to be fun.

Human-verified data, brought to you by @PerleLabs @PerleFDN. Congratulations to the team on its mainnet launch!

The token economy behind Perle is coming. Over the past year, we’ve designed a community-first system to coordinate contributors, reward high-quality data, and scale the sovereign intelligence layer for AI. Read the full tokenomics breakdown behind PRL on @PerleFDN.

This week at @blockworksDAS, our CIO @flex4blox will chat about vaults’ pathway for institutional adoption with @tarunchitra from @gauntlet_xyz, @samantha_bohbot from @Rockaway_X and @robbieklages from @therollupco Catch the session on Thursday March 26 at 2:40pm ET.

1/ Recent headlines about AI giants consolidating data ownership are validating the case for decentralized AI. When a few companies control the AI stack, they have disproportional power. Fortunately, this won’t be the case for long. With privacy now taking center stage for consumers, the future can now belong to models that put ownership (and computation) back in their hands.

What does agentic AI look like in the context of privacy? @jbrukh and @AskVenice Founder @ErikVoorhees weigh in on the dangers of centralized models on the latest episode of Mined with CoinFund

For years, regulatory ambiguity was one of the biggest reasons #crypto founders left the US or never came in the first place. For the first time there are clear rules on how crypto assets are classified and a defined path to build compliantly here. This a monumental step in the evolution and mainstream adoption of crypto. To have the two US agencies most responsible for crypto agree on these very helpful five categories of tokens (with the rules of what falls into each category) clears a huge hurdle in how crypto can operate going forward. This will allow new token designs with the confidence that their existence does not require registration with the SEC, etc. The talent, capital and companies that moved offshore had a reason to leave. Now they have a reason to come back. This is great news for our existing portfolio companies building in the US, and we're especially excited about what it means for the next wave of founders who now have the US back on their roadmap. Watch what gets built here in the next 12 months. More on the crypto guidance issuance by @hannahdlang via @Reuters reuters.com/world/us-secur…
