Hyperliquid and Polymarket dominate in the West. In Asia, there is no equivalent. TurboFlow is building it. @tonytfxyz (@TurboFlow_xyz) joins Stateful, hosted by @masonnystrom. In this episode, they discuss why Asia has been missing a world-class trading platform and how TurboFlow is building it: - Asian traders operate in communities, not alone. That changes everything about product design. - Prediction markets beat perps for retail: click yes or no on anything. No margin knowledge needed. - $9 trillion in perps volume in 2025. Still only 75K to 200K daily active traders on-chain. - Bear markets are for building. Competitors go to sleep. You lay the foundation. - 18-month goal: dominate Asian prediction markets and expand to 50 assets including RWAs and FX. 00:00 Why Asia Has No Hyperliquid or Polymarket 01:56 The Perps Market Today: $9 Trillion, Only 200K Daily Traders 06:07 Why Prediction Markets Beat Perps for Retail 11:18 What Actually Matters When Building a Trading Platform 14:45 Lessons from Co-Founding Amber Group 18:46 Quick Fire: Bear Market Timing, 18-Month Roadmap






one of the clearest patterns in polymarket’s short-term btc markets shows up off-platform. across ~11.8k polymarket btc up/down cycles, binance spot volume jumped into the close when the polymarket contract was still trading like either side could win. when the contract was already priced away from 50/50, the burst mostly vanished. 1/8

A stablecoin proves itself through the scale it reaches and the services it enables. @anthonysoohoo (MoneyGram) and @LucaProsperi (M0) join Stateful, hosted by @masonnystrom. In this episode, they discuss the future of money creation and movement: - @MoneyGram built its own stablecoin MGUSD for 60 million active customers. Not for trading or institutions. - @m0 is building the modular stablecoin infrastructure that powers several stablecoins including MoneyGram, KAST, and MetaMask - MoneyGram verticalized its own stablecoin instead of integrating USDT or USDC, controlling the economics and passing savings to customers, the same logic behind Apple building its own chips. - Stablecoin supply: $500B by 2027, $1 trillion by 2030 03:30 Why MoneyGram Launched MGUSD 06:00 How M0 Powers Stablecoin Infrastructure 08:00 Why MoneyGram Built Its Own Stablecoin Instead of Using USDC 11:30 Distribution Wins: The Real Stablecoin Differentiator 17:00 Having a Stablecoin Is Not Enough: Build on Top of It 18:00 How AI and Stablecoins Are Compressing Revenue Moats 24:00 MoneyGram Becoming an Open Network: The Kraken Partnership 27:30 Quick Fire: Stablecoin Supply Predictions for 2027 and 2030


Crypto is becoming a core prediction-market category Since the beginning of the year, Kalshi’s crypto share of venue dollars rose every month, from 4.3% to 14.8% Polymarket began from a higher base, peaking at 34.0% in February before moving down to 20.3% by May

We raised $4.3M, led by @PanteraCapital Soon, there will be more agents than people online. Those agents will book flights, hire contractors, enrich customer data, conduct research, and complete transactions without a human in the loop. But today, agents are stuck with whatever tools they were originally given. The moment they need something new, they fail, hallucinate, or hand the problem back to a human. Orthogonal fixes this. Through a single integration, agents can discover the capabilities they need in the moment, orchestrate them, and pay for them instantly. An agent describes what it wants, and Orthogonal composes the result, calling the right services in the right order. Our goal is simple: when an agent needs a capability it doesn't already have, Orthogonal will be the first place it goes.
