@naval sweet, open the doors!

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com

aixbt has been on a tear recently

🤣

This is an insane masterclass move by Tether holy shit

this will be looked back on as a critical turning point in the future of trading infrastructure. the vision is materializing!

"We just chewed a lot of glass and worked on Solana." @jito_labs founder @buffalu__ on what kept him building on Solana through the bear market: "A lot of it is the core Solana team. Not only @toly and @rajgokal, but a lot of the engineers. They didn't really give a shit about the macro environment. It's like, let's just make the fastest blockchain in existence." "They're in it for the right reasons."

@toly bro

EF’s new leadership, much less RADICALIZED and far more intelligent than the predecessors, has just asked Solana for a CEASEFIRE! We will consider when the L2 bridge is free and clear. Until then, we are wormholing Ethereum into oblivion, or as they say, pack to the Proof of Work days!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

@vkhosla hell yeah

@toly I have been summoned

Worse, it’s @rajgokal’s basement.

Solana Accelerate Fintech NYC, doors open in 10 minutes. Attending: JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, Wells Fargo, HSBC, BNY, Cantor Fitzgerald, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Western Union, Apple, Shopify, Adyen, Fidelity, and more 👀 The future of fintech is Solana

BREAKING: @xStocksFi is bringing Nasdaq's tokenized equity markets to Solana DeFi

No user will ever care, but building fully on-chain perps on Solana is really technically challenging. I respect all the teams who have attempted this Herculean task in the past: Drift, Zeta, Mango, Jupiter to name a few. Many of these teams have found success with real users, but I think it’s fair to say that all of them had to make product tradeoffs as a direct result of Solana’s programming model. We achieved: - Price time priority on user limit orders with built-in margin - Synchronous matching (no crank) - Lazily accumulating funding payments - Low compute quote updates for makers - Platform-wide cross and isolated margin This required innovation on the core system architecture. I usually don’t like talking about this because, in my eyes, these properties are table stakes for being competitive with any centralized exchange. Our users won’t care about the sick tech, but they will care about how good the product feels. We moved mountains to build @PhoenixTrade. No on-chain vault + off-chain matching. No compromises on microstructure. No vapor. All of the program code will be made source-available at general launch.

SoFi announces full integration with @solana the feature went live recently, allowing @SoFi approximately 13.7 million customers to deposit $SOL directly via the Solana blockchain into their SoFi crypto accounts from external wallets.

@balajis sick reference bro. your references are out of control

Everyone invoking principles needs to understand it’s all tribal. Democrats were for pushing Starlink to help with Biden’s military, but against pushing Anthropic to help with Trump’s military. Anthropic is for copying data when it trains their models, and against when it comes to Chinese distillation attacks on their models. Republicans were against state power when Democrats were using it to make everything woke, and for state power when Republicans are using it for MAGA. I mean, duh! This is all completely rational. It is as rational as being for a gun that’s in your hands, and against a gun that’s pointed in your face. That said, recognizing tribal reality doesn’t mean being against cooperation, or even against principles. You can cooperate within tribes. And you can even cooperate between tribes. You just have to understand what tribe you’re in and what tribe you’re dealing with. You can also have principles. But recognize that the only principles that survive natural selection are those that generate collective strength for a tribe over time. Once you know your tribe, and you know their tribe, and your principles, and their principles…you can propose a true win/win deal that satisfies both tribes’ interests. Just don’t imagine that their tribe will foolishly agree to unilaterally lose because of your tribe’s (selectively invoked!) principle. Because if following the rule leads them to lose, what use is the rule?

@martypartymusic guess I'm going to bhutan!

Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the Himalayas’ eastern edge, is known for its monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys has introduced the first ever crypto residency program. IMO: This is a smart use case we never saw coming. Bhutan has recently made headlines in the crypto world by launching the world's first @solana-backed digital nomad visa, announced around February 24, 2026. This initiative ties directly into the country's push for blockchain adoption via the Solana network. Visa Type: Digital nomad visa (for remote workers/digital professionals). Requirements:A non-refundable application fee of $2,800. A refundable deposit of $10,000 in $TER - Bhutan's sovereign gold-backed token issued on Solana. Stay Duration: Up to 36 months (some sources mention 12-24 months renewable, but recent reports highlight the longer option). Refund: The $10,000 TER deposit is fully refundable upon leaving the country. Purpose: Attract digital nomads to boost tourism/economy, while bootstrapping adoption of $TER and integrating blockchain into national systems (issued through Gelephu Mindfulness City and custodied by DK Bank, a regulated Bhutanese digital asset bank). x.com/gmcbhutan/stat…
