🎬 Take a look at how we closed out 2025 with our Detroit Blockchain Collective holiday party 🎉 As we ring in 2026, we're celebrating what has been an extraordinary year of impact for Detroit Blockchain Collective (@DetBlockchain) and for Michigan’s Web3 ecosystem as a whole. This holiday celebration was a fitting way to close the year. It was a moment of recognition for the community that has helped propel Web3 in Michigan to new heights. We were honored to welcome Lt. Governor @garlin Gilchrist II as our featured speaker, alongside @JustinOnwenu, Detroit’s Director of Entrepreneurship & Economic Opportunity. Their presence signaled something important: the work happening in this community matters, & it is being noticed at the highest levels. We’re grateful to @standwithcrypto for sponsoring our holiday party & helping make this community celebration possible. As the Michigan President of Stand With Crypto, I’m proud to support work that strengthens local communities while advancing the responsible digital-asset policy our state needs to thrive. What Detroit Blockchain Collective accomplished in 2025 was powered entirely by you: the founders, builders, students, advocates, sponsors, & community leaders who showed up, collaborated, & pushed this space forward together. The momentum & credibility we’ve built happened because of you. Throughout 2025, Detroit Blockchain Collective brought people together across backgrounds & experience levels. From hosting conversations with federal regulators shaping the future of digital assets, to spotlighting mission-driven organizations doing globally recognized work, to partnering with entrepreneurial hubs born right here in Detroit. We created space for education, connection, & opportunity, and in doing so, strengthened Michigan’s position in the broader digital-asset ecosystem. As proud as we are of what we’ve built, the work is far from finished. Ecosystem building is never “done.” It evolves, it expands, and it demands continued curiosity, integrity, & leadership. We enter 2026 energized, focused, & committed to deepening education, strengthening partnerships, supporting responsible policy, & creating even more pathways for people to participate in this space. Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for building with us. And thank you for helping make Detroit Blockchain Collective what it is today. Here’s to an even more impactful 2026! 🥂

@sterlsav you’re going to be amazing 😻

@ElizabethHa Very excited and nervous about tomorrow. I'm gonna have to put my face on 😂

@RePay_Loans_ @Player1Taco @XMoney @elonmusk 👀

@ElizabethHa @Player1Taco @XMoney @elonmusk Who says that XMoney and Stables could not be the same thing? XUSD incoming? You could always use RePay to make it a little better....

Got early access to @XMoney! Made the first Investment Request ever to @elonmusk on Xmoney! So this will either be the fastest way to get @RePay_Loans_ funded OR the fastest way to get #debanked....

@TheDeFinvestor what a crazy year and it’s only July. Lord have mercy

Craziest thing I've seen in a while: • Someone buys $4M worth of BONK • Then posts a DAO proposal asking to transfer $20M in BONK to themselves • Waits 7 days without anyone noticing • Then votes "yes" with their own BONK holdings, and the proposal passes • $20M is transferred to them And now the Bonk team has suddenly realized they lost $20M. This wasn't even a hack. The proposal passed because no $BONK holders checked the governance forum. Insane to see the current state of DAOs.

@jconnorholliman This is so very sad, my condolences Connor! What is sobering reminder of how fleeting time is.

I found out one of my favorite work friends passed away when I looked at his LinkedIn this morning and it said “In remembrance” I worked with him at my first job out of college and stayed in touch with him regularly for several years after He was supposed to come stay at my house a few years ago but was unable due to a conflict, and we unfortunately never rescheduled Truly a gut wrenching feeling I’ll never get to talk with him again Just wish I had the opportunity to say goodbye

@333Polaris @DetBlockchain Great questions during our Q&A, thank you for the thoughtful discussion around data centers, I’m so glad you were there! And lovely to see you as always 😊

About Data Centers: 🟢 We can be in harmony with them with the right regulations. 🟢 Tech brings capital, construction, and jobs to the community. 🟢 We are being proactive with a dedicated committee to collaborate, not constrain. Go City of Detroit! 👏 @DetBlockchain @standwithcrypto thanks for hosting another incredible speaker and for keeping us connected as we build! ⚡️

Great insights from one of our Web3 founders here in Detroit following our recent Crypto Connect with Detroit City Councilman Benson. Thank you, Apoorva for your thoughtful dialogue during the Q&A. The work you’re doing with data centers is impressive!

@zERC20io Such fantastic discussion around the zERC20 tech. Learning so much right now. We need privacy to be accessible & easy to use like this 🙌

@AngelofYHVH that’s what I’m sayinnn

@ElizabethHa That’s an understatement 🤣 The other day in Morocco, hundreds of people were packed at an event in middle of the desert when the MC dropped his mic… just to ask me about my ethnicity! 😂

So many people are trying to figure out my ethnicity as I travel from Eastern Europe to Sofia, Bulgaria to Macedonia, Greece, and now Morocco right now. This is what I’ve been getting. They think I am 🤣

@AngelofYHVH that is hilarious and also 0% surprising 😂
