Australian discovers Texas Roadhouse… First, he calls it a “fancy restaurant,” and he couldn’t be more wrong. Texas Roadhouse isn’t just a fancy ole restaurant. It’s a giant slice of heaven brought down to earth. This man loves the bread, the free refills, the service. In response to those outside the US complaining about tipping there: “You don’t have to tip… you WANT to tip. These are the most wonderful people on earth.” “I don’t even know why some of you Americans are so angry all the time; you guys have Texas Roadhouse in your country.” You got that right. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #worldcup #usa

(1/3) Onchain credit has scaled quickly, and a meaningful default may be inevitable. Sidney Powell (@syrupsid), Co-Founder & CEO at @maplefinance, argues that a visible default could be constructive: a forcing function for better underwriting, transparency, and risk pricing. Digital Asset Yield Summit is the ultimate forum for capital allocators to discover the latest advancements in digital asset yield. Every attendee is reviewed. Every session is relevant. Every introduction is intentional. Next event: DAYS Singapore, October 6









Average lending rates have dropped to 2.9% - lower than the 3-month U.S Treasury rate. Onchain credit is filling the gap, providing $300Bn+ in stablecoins with yield-generating opportunities. @solofunk dove into the data in our first research report on Onchain Credit.

Big news: SYRUP is now available on @Revolut in the UK and EU. One of the world's largest fintechs, with 70M+ users across 39 countries, just opened the door for millions to access Maple in a few taps. Onchain institutional credit yield meets mainstream finance.

“Ticketing companies act as banks. Whenever a show goes on, a venue typically signs a deal where they get capital upfront to pay the artist and the production. Service fees are interest rates for that loan that the venue has taken from the ticketing company.“ @KYDNimale on @CBSNews discussing ticket prices for the 2028 LA Olympics.


(1/7) Update from Maple Maple has no active DeFi positions. We assessed risk exposure across DeFi and proactively removed all allocations. Through active risk management, Lenders have no exposure to rsETH or other indirect exposures, and the Maple platform operated as expected.



From yield farming gimmicks to $500M institutional loans - DeFi lending has finally found its product-market fit. @maplefinance is at the sharp end of that shift - purpose-built for borrowers who need size, structure, and a 24-hour margin call window instead of instant liquidation.
