Congrats to this team!🤝🏻
Dennis Dinkelmeyer@DennisMidas

I am proud to announce our $50M Series A, co-led by @RRE and @Creandum. Last year, we issued nearly $2B of assets onchain, growing 100x within a 9-month period. But those numbers only tell the polished half of the story. Finding organic product-market fit in a relentless, 24/7 industry is anything but easy. Building here requires navigating a complex labyrinth where finance, technology, law, and (to some degree politics) constantly intersect. At @MidasRWA , our mission is to bring financial assets onchain. We are doing this by building infrastructure rooted in the core tenets of liquidity and transparency, to create onchain investment products with actual composability and utility. I believe we are at an inflection point. With the new SEC chair saying that “all markets will be onchain within two years” - a stark contrast to past rhetoric - it opens a clear gateway for institutional and individual capital to come onchain. We have built a world-class team equipped to make it happen. Day in and day out, we roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Over the weekend, I made a simple x402/MPP resource that can convert images into 3d models + rig them for animation. Then I experienced a mind blowing demonstration of composability of this ecosystem. From a single prompt it - found me and my brothers on Linkedin - downloaded a pfp for each - used nano-banana pro to generate images of us in a T pose - generated a 3D model - rigged the models with skeleton - bought some dance animations - created a game - uploaded + hosted it online - bought a domain and mapped the DNS .. this was 1 prompt. never connected a single account. used 6 different resources. Spent $0.89. never got blocked

Private credit is a $2T+ market with hundreds of billions in capital trapped in manual coordination. A $100M loan with 36 monthly payments moves as one block. To fractionalize it, decompose it, or distribute it means weeks of legal paperwork. @ari_networks_ put blockchain at the source. Each payment obligation becomes its own composable token. Settlement logic baked in at creation, working within existing custody and compliance systems. One loan, 36 independent pieces. One of the fastest-growing corners of private markets finally has infrastructure that matches the opportunity. Proud to be contributing as technical advisors @sphere_labs 🫡

1/("hello, world") This week at @blockworksDAS, Ari Networks executed CRED on @solana, the first blockchain-native credit exposure. A thread on why crypto settling in liquid assets (~cash) is a problem for industry, and what we just did about it. 👇

I am excited to announce that @shayonsengupta and @SpencerApplebau have been promoted to General Partner and Co-Heads of Venture at Multicoin Capital. Over the past several years, both have taken on significantly more responsibility across every dimension of our business. They’ve not only continued to identify, source, and lead deals at an increasing rate, but have also increasingly taken on more ownership of the strategy, operations, and long-term direction of Multicoin. Multicoin was founded on the belief that crypto will fundamentally reshape global markets. We recently published our updated thesis for the next decade of crypto. We couldn't be more excited about the future of crypto and opportunity to invest in these theses.

1/ Faster onboarding for API integrators starts now. ⚡️ If your platform already fulfills KYC, liveness verification, and legal agreements, Sphere picks up where you left off. That means fewer API calls, less duplicated work, and faster activation.

Agentic payments reminds me of on-chain payments (“Stripe for Crypto”) from 2022 Everyone’s bullish Directionally it’s probably correct Super unclear if there’s a real business at the heart of it Agents will choose the path of least resistance; including free, open-source rails

Takes me back to December 2022 when we were first pitching a stablecoin payments company on @solana (@sphere_labs) and very serious people kept asking: Why the hell would you use Solana? And who tf outside of tiny emerging markets would want to use stablecoins for payments? 😭
Messari@MessariCrypto

Solana’s Total Payment Volume (TPV) growth is outperforming peers and fintech giants alike, up 755.3% YoY. The network is used as a global settlement layer by firms such as @Visa, @Stripe, @Worldpay, and @WesternUnion. Dive into the full ecosystem breakdown in the State of @solana: Payments report 👇

Your AI agent can now earn, hold, and cash out — all without touching a dashboard. Point it to our API. It generates its own wallet, collects stablecoins, auto-converts to USD or EUR, straight to a bank account. Bank the unbanked 🦀🦀🏦
Sphere Labs@sphere_labs

1/ Your stablecoin-to-fiat stack just got fully programmable. 🔌 Offloader Wallets are now available via the SpherePay API. Create wallet addresses that auto-convert USDC or USDT directly to a linked bank account. No dashboard required.

Risk and compliance alerts will likely go through a Cambrian explosion of net new behavior in the next 6-18 months as AI agents enable previously unimaginable workflows — both bad/illicit and good/preventative activity.
Sphere Labs@sphere_labs

90-95% of AML alerts at banks are false positives. One of many signs compliance infrastructure has outgrown the very systems it runs on. @0xdirichlet on what's been driving up compliance costs for decades and what the path forward looks like. 👇 spherepay.co/blog/the-archi…
