Onsighting — is to climb a rockface without having seen the terrain. To me, that’s a lot like active investing… and life


Would be pretty jokes if all the tokenized cash and assets just end up living on Google's blockchain Excerpt from CME's earnings discussing their plans to go live w/ their settlement banks and clearing members on the Google Cloud Ledger by the end of year:






There is a lot of noise around the Clarity Act and stablecoins. The primary concern is that idle balances will not be allowed to accrue interest in a straightforward way. Many frame this as a severe structural limitation, but that is... simply not the case.

The Basel III "Endgame" pivot on March 19 quietly reduced capital requirements for big U.S. banks. That is effectively more balance sheet "dry powder" after years of ratcheting standards higher. On its face, it is about easing pressure on lending and market making.

Mastercard said it will acquire the stablecoin infrastructure startup BVNK for as much as $1.8 billion, four months after negotiations between BVNK and Coinbase Global for a roughly $2 billion deal fell apart. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…


Across just proposed to convert into a C-corp and buy out tokenholders. Backpack is doing a equity distribution as part of their token campaign. The market is desperately asking for teams to accept that decentralized governance is a feature, not a religion. The projects that survive will pick the right structure that allows them to compete with massive fintech's, banks, and large financial firms. Its not the end of decentralization, in fact, its quite the opposite. We will persist, the core ethos will persist, but we must move towards real businesses onchain. This annoying middle-ground, too, shall pass.
