Extremely excited to coauthor this Institutional Guidebook with the @FourPillarsFP team - covering DeFi, stablecoins, RWAs, agentic commerce and more. Four Pillars consistently writes some of the best research, for both the Korean audience and beyond - I’ve taken a bunch of inspiration from their work in my own writings. We’re excited to work with the Four Pillars team not just as an investor, but more importantly as a thought partner - sharing our perspectives on blockchain for institutions in Korea, the U.S., and beyond.

The idea that we’d need to verify humanity identity on the internet was a far fetched idea 8 years ago when @alexblania and @sama cofounded World. Now an identity layer for the internet is a consensus viewpoint and WorldID is leading the way forward.

Sam Altman @sama joins @cosmo_jiang to discuss why proof of human is necessary in the age of AI. @masonnystrom also joins to share why Pantera invested in @worldnetwork. In this episode, they cover: - AI is advancing faster than Sam expected. The need for proof of human has never been stronger. - Agents need to move money. Agentic payments are one of Sam's most personally exciting use cases. - Proof of human as a substrate: driver's licenses, education, and employment credentials all appended to a verified human identity. - Targeted advertising is the first massive use case as AI agents flood the internet. - Advertisers will pay a premium for verified human impressions. - World has 18 million verified humans today with 4 billion smartphone users as the addressable market. 01:27 Sam Altman's Keynote at World’s Lift-Off Event 02:12 Why World Was Built 03:48 Blockchain x AI 04:08 World ID Use Cases 04:47 World's Founding Vision 05:10 World ID Trajectory 05:50 Why Pantera Invested in World 06:45 Sam Altman Saw This Coming 07:10 Proof of Human at Scale 10:12 The Value of Digital Identity 11:11 Agents Need a Human in the Loop 11:42 Scaling to Billions of Users 12:53 Enterprise Partnerships

We're reaching an inflection point where AI generates more information than humans. Distinguishing agents from humans is a critical moat for trust online. @sama explains why @worldnetwork built World ID with a goal of preserving the human layer of the internet.

Blockchain technology has reached an inflection point. Some of the world’s largest financial institutions are rolling out tokenization, exploring 24/5 and 24/7 trading, while decentralized identity is taking on new urgency in the age of AI. Yet within our portfolio, companies continue to execute, take share, and build through the cycle. In this issue, we highlight four companies at different stages and across different parts of the stack: - @Figure - @OndoFinance - @SurfAI - @m0 panteracapital.com/portfolio-spot…

Heading to Asia for the next few weeks to chat about stablecoins, tokenization, and the AI agent economy: Hong Kong - Shenzhen - Shanghai - Seoul. I'm always invigorated by feeling what's actually happening on the ground in Asia. It's more important than ever when you consider: 1) Hong Kong just granted its first two stablecoin licenses to @HSBC and a @StanChart JV to begin modernizing one of the world's oldest currencies. 2) "Raising lobsters" as THE viral phenomenon in China this year, where literal crowds gathered for public @openclaw workshops. 3) Shanghai is building cross-border blockchain rails for trade finance in the world's largest and busiest trading port by container throughput for the last 16 years running. 4) Shenzhen is running a blockchain-based trade verification platform to unlock credit rates as low as 3% for companies at the heart of the world's robotics industry. 5) South Korea holds more crypto investors than stock investors - 32% of the population holds digital assets - and just opened the market to ~3,500 listed companies + new stablecoin and market structure legislation. Excited to meet founders, institutions, investors, and partners across Asia + soak up a ton of learning & first-hand experience! First stop: speaking at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival (@festival_web3 ) next week. DM / find me if you're around!

AI agents are projected to handle 25-30% of all US online commercial sales within the next five years, representing $183 trillion in transaction volume. Sandy Kaul (Franklin Templeton) and @iandebode (@OndoFinance) on Stateful: Agents need decentralized blockchain rails for speed, smart contract automation, digital identity, and real-time comparative shopping to minimize costs. The shift to on-chain rails is coming fast. @FranklinBi @FTDA_US
