feel pretty helpless as someone continues to throw bot accounts at me which i assume decrease my reach and engagement
no clear path to get x to do anything about it, the spigot turned on about 3 months ago and is accelerating

The tokenization of real-world assets requires composable, compliant rails.
That's why Plume was granted a Digital Asset Business License from the Bermuda Monetary Authority.
To make Open Finance a reality.
Brian Armstrong@brian_armstrong
Major areas where the financial system still needs an update: 1. Tokenization of real-world assets - Real estate, stocks, bonds, funds, etc. onchain for instant settlement, fractional ownership & massive distribution. 2. 24/7 Global trading - Pooled global liquidity, every asset, every person, with great leverage and capital efficiency. 3. Next-gen payments - Near-instant, low-cost global transfers using stablecoins, including for Agentic payments. 4. AI-powered risk, credit, compliance, and advice - Better decisions, less fraud, and broader access to capital. Everyone gets access to a great financial advisor. 5. Innovation friendly regulation - Move from one-size-fits-all to risk-based rules that encourage innovation and competition instead of stifling it. 6. Expanded access - Open protocols that reduce middlemen and self-custodial wallets to expand access to everyone with a smartphone. 7. Capital formation - Low cost and turnkey for anyone to raise money for a good idea, increasing the number of startups. 8. Sound money - A refuge from inflation, when discipline is lost in fiat money. Jobs not done until we get these working for all. Will require lots of tech innovation and policy work to get there.

Good-looking write-up.
DoubleZero's approach to infrastructure is to create technology that is purpose-built for higher performance than public systems, better economics for contributors, and easier access than private systems.

If you're building in any of the below areas, hit me up! Reciprocal is actively deploying.
josh@joshyote
We asked Solana builders to share what they're working on. 550 responses, sorted with the help of @lagunacarta and her magic Claude toolkit. Agents were on top: agentic payments, agent security, agent identity, agent observability, agent credit, agent commerce. After agents, the diversity of categories was impressive. Whatever you're building, it has a home on Solana.

My prediction is that @SECGov innovation exemption will provide a testing ground for KYCfi for US, mostly, @The_DTCC tokenized securities + directly onchain securities, while providing room to test AMMs. Will still need a broker-dealer to whitelist KYCed wallets. DeFi won't love it. TradFi might sue over it - but onchain brokers will have an opportunity to show PMF.
Hester Peirce@HesterPeirce
I appreciate the interest in--but not the hyperbole about--the contemplated innovation exemption for the onchain trading of tokenized NMS stock. Keep in mind: I've always expected that it'd be limited in scope & would facilitate trading only of digital representations of the same underlying equity security that an investor could purchase in the secondary market today, not synthetics.

Plume just got a Bermuda digital asset license to run regulated onchain vaults
Plume Network (@plumenetwork) said on Wednesday that its Bermuda subsidiary Kimber Digital Assets Bermuda (KDAB) received a Class M Digital Asset Business License from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (@BermudaMonetary) under the 2018 DABA framework.
Users can deposit assets, receive proportional vault tokens, earn yield, and redeem at NAV, with everything running on immutable smart contracts under BMA prudential supervision.
Plume calls KDAB the first regulated onchain vault curator licensed to create and distribute vault tokens under AML standards modeled on stablecoin frameworks, including the US GENIUS Act.

Predicate is @centrifuge’s official compliance partner for RWA issuers!
Asset managers building on Centrifuge can now implement robust, real-time compliance controls across the entire RWA lifecycle, from primary issuance to secondary market transfers.
What this means 🧵

Now some of our onchain vaults can be integrated into regulated financial institutions, exchanges, and fintechs.
Not all vaults and their curators are made equal.
We’re the first in the world to become regulated as an onchain asset manager, using our own fully non-custodial smart contracts.
And yes, we’re exposing our license and fund management functionality to select few institutional partners.
Deeply appreciative of the amazing @BermudaMonetary teams and their innovative approach to working with companies like ours.
The job has really just begun. More soon.

@CraigBurel I think those are the reseller commissions from cloud deals - ie AWS sells Anthropic, their commission goes there
English
Anthropic exp $10.9B Q2 revenue, up from $4.8B in Q1, and $559M of operating profit for the Q.
Compute is 56 cents per dollar of revenue, lower than I expected.
Q2 projection:
$10.9B revenue
-$6.1B compute
-$2.7B sales & marketing
-$1.5B other costs
=$559M operating income
