We're excited to officially launch Dry Run! Finance may be undergoing its biggest shift since the modern financial system was established. Money movement, credit, compliance, and workflows are becoming global, programmable, and AI-native. Khushi (@khushii_w) and I have had the pleasure of speaking with some of the most brilliant founders, thinkers, and builders on the podcast. Capturing original thinking, craft, and the stories behind what they’re building has been a joy. We’re excited to keep sharing these conversations with you. Stay tuned!

"My take is fairness doesn't matter." Aaron (@AaronJBrogan) breaks down why the insider trading debate for prediction markets is just rhetorical ammunition for politicians looking to capitalize on a trendy, easy-to-win take.

Ubiquity in payments comes from coordination. Before @Zelle, @JPMorgan, @BankofAmerica, and @WellsFargo each already offered realtime P2P payments, but the limitation was interoperability. A common user experience required coordination across institutions. A similar thing is now emerging with tokenized deposits and stablecoins. The tech may work within closed systems, but broader adoption will likely depend on shared standards and interop across networks.

Insider trading in prediction markets can be solved. Polymarket and Kalshi both use offchain order matching — which means they could easily build a two-tiered system separating verified from unverified users. That separation is all you need to bake insider trading protections directly into the market structure.

In every startup vs incumbent battle, the question is whether the startup can get distribution before the incumbent catches up on innovation. In fintech, most don’t because CAC kills them. Banks may be slower, but they already have the users. For some cases, the edge is building through them.

With the buzz around agentic commerce, Andrew raises a point on why adoption may be slower than expected. The biggest retailers aren't opening their data to third-party agents, they're building their own. @Amazon, @Walmart, all of them want agents working for the platform, not for the consumer. After the access issue, though agents are good at finding the lowest price on something consumers already want, the harder problem is helping them with discovery based on taste.

Polymarket (@Polymarket) and Kalshi (@Kalshi) have rolled out new guardrails to curb insider trading. Months ago, Shreyas (@HelloShreyas) predicted this move, highlighting possible safeguards like: - Internal detection tools - Progressive KYC - Position limits We’re now seeing several of these measures in action, with more likely on the way 👀 Stay tuned, this space is evolving fast.
