It was an honor to moderate an important discussion with two of the influential 🇺🇸 crypto leaders - @SenGillibrand and @GOPMajorityWhip (Rep Tom Emmer). They openly shared their perspective on how American leadership on blockchain is crucial, serious progress on CLARITY (and the blockers), and the importance of DeFi as a future for American innovation. I was impressed by their surprising candor and philosophical alignment. Bullish for making America the crypto capital of the world.

The next phase for decentralized cloud and AI is here. Developers can be a part of the future now with Shelby Early Access

The next great exchange was always going to be onchain. For over a decade, traders have been forced to choose: the speed of a CEX or the transparency of a DEX. Never both. Traders deserved better. We built better. Decibel is LIVE! Welcome to the new sound of trading 🔊

Congrats to the Decibel team! We're excited to support them as they launch USDCBL, their native stablecoin, powered by Bridge's Open Issuance platform.

@agarwal I was there today too! Great spot

This hike is a 20 minute drive from San Francisco. ❤️ A gentle walk through Tennessee Valley gets you to Tennessee Beach in Marin. It’s an easy, kid-friendly hike with an amazing payoff at the beach, featuring striking rock formations.

🚨 @Bitnomial announces the launch of the first-ever U.S. Aptos (APTS) futures on Bitnomial Exchange, LLC on Jan. 14 A regulated futures market is a prerequisite for spot crypto ETF approval under the SEC's generic listing standards. Today is one step closer to a U.S. Aptos ETF.

Saw dozens of new products at Permissionless. I think Shelby is by far the most exciting. This is crypto's first real shot at taking on AWS. It's a moonshot and will be very tough to build but if anyone can do it it's Jump and Aptos. Let's get back to thinking bigger.
