Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. #bot-vs-human" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">radar.cloudflare.com/traffic#bot-vs…

Today we’re announcing $1 billion in new funds to back the bold founders shaping the next era of finance and technology.
I’ve been following the flow of assets my entire career and have never seen a more dynamic time. Financial infrastructure is being rebuilt from the ground up, new assets and markets are emerging, and an agentic economy is developing as AI agents begin to transact on behalf of humans. These areas, among others, are what will define the coming years as we deploy these new funds.
We’re excited for what’s ahead, and wrote about our thesis in the post below.

I don't believe this is the right strategy for PayPal.
Alex Chriss was right to fully integrate Venmo with $PYPL. I still feel for the guy — he was the right leader to turn the company around, but he came in too late.
Wall St Engine@wallstengine
CNBC: PayPal $PYPL is separating Venmo into a standalone business unit under new CEO Enrique Lores, a move that could make the app easier to track or potentially sell. The reorg comes as takeover interest has circled PayPal, with Venmo seen as its most valuable asset.

@CarioCapital @acce Yep, still rooting for him, and I look forward to seeing where he lands next.

$PYPL One of the things that former CEO Alex Chriss did was integrate the siloed aspects of PayPal's business into a whole unit.
This was necessary. PayPal had failed to digest and accelerate past acquisitions, to the extent that Pay With Venmo competed directly with branded paypal (at a lower take rate).
The only way this move makes sense is selling Venmo, which is easier to do as an independent business unit, which is what I am expecting this indicates.

Must read from my friend @sytaylor. The $PYPL UC at the end is amazing I had no idea PayPal was deploying AI this effectively

Revolut just moved the IP of banking into a model. Trained on 24 billion banking events in 111 countries. One foundation model replacing six separate ML systems. Credit scoring: +130% Fraud recall: +65% Marketing engagement: +79% The model is the new moat.

Balancing what works today with what's coming tomorrow is one of the hardest challenges at scale. The innovator's dilemma shouldn't slow you down, it’s a call to build.
To rebuild payments for the next decade, we need new rails. Stablecoins are a key part of that future, and we're integrating $PYUSD across @PayPal to deliver more speed, flexibility and global reach.

“One of the challenges when you are at a certain scale and you’ve been around for a while is the very classic innovator’s dilemma,” Alex Chriss, the president and CEO of PayPal, told Fortune. trib.al/G3egl9l

Excited to keep building here! 🇬🇧
