When @billboard starts covering crypto hires in their Executive Turntable, you know something's shifting in the live entertainment industry... or in crypto.

Lack of liquidity infrastructure continues to stunt RWA growth.
Message me If you're building:
- secondary liquidity facilities
- fixed rate lending
- permissioned RWA vaults

Anything with an attractive cash flow has already been structured by TradFi and is sitting in someone's portfolio.
Just not in yours.

The best asset class of the financial crisis? Not gold. Not treasuries. Parking meters. In 2008, weeks after Lehman collapsed, Morgan Stanley backed by Allianz and the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund paid cash-strapped Chicago $1,15B for 75 years of parking meter revenue. Sounds expensive? The meters have since generated nearly $2B. With 60 years still left on the deal. While crypto is debating tokenized t-bills, stocks or recently private credit funds, TradFi has been structuring exotic RWAs for decades. Anything with an attractive cash flow is already someone's yield product. The real opportunity isn't just tokenizing existing financial products. It's structuring new ones around real-world demand. We've barely scratched the surface.

What a fun way to grow awareness for insane ticketing fees lmao
TIX@tixprotocol
"Robbing them blind, baby. That's how we do it!" Ever wanted to feel like a Live Nation ticketing director? Introducing Fee Stacker. Stack fees on a $45 ticket ➤ Facility Fee ($5-15) ➤ Order Processing Fee ($5-10) ➤ Digital Delivery ($3) ➤ Bathroom Access Fee (???) ➤ ... See how far you can gouge before fans revolt. (All quotes are real)

should you resign, or just burn the whole building down?

@anticustody Customer prepaid credit on Starbucks Cards generates $250-300M per year.
Around $1.8 Billion of stored value used as interest-free loan from customers.
Crazy (and genius)!

Been digging into Live Nation's filings. $5.8B in other people's money earning yield for the middleman.
There's better ways to structure this.
TIX@tixprotocol
Live Nation earned $150M in interest alone in 2025. This comes from $7.1B in cash on their balance sheet. But most of it isn't theirs. ➤ $4.0B from fans: tickets sold for future shows ➤ $1.6B for venues: client cash owed ➤ $225M for artists: accrued fees Live Nation parks it in money market funds and bank deposits and pockets all the yield. You paid for the ticket. They earn the interest.

@DennisonBertram @nikitabier I built a small tool for it, but it only fetches the last 100 through the API x.com/anticustody/st…

building a pro tool for X bookmarks. what it does so far: > cleaner reading experience > search > tags > AI-powered summaries next up: weekly digests what feature would make this a must-have for you?
English
I have like a trillion bookmarks of AI stuff saved here on X but with no conceivable way to get them out.
I am scared to connect my agent lest @nikitabier perma-ban me.
So, how do I download my bookmarks fam?

vvv excited to announce that I’ve joined @AskVenice as Head of Product 🦾
If you aren’t using Venice yet, I strongly recommend giving it a try (for free!). It’s already the best way to access private, uncensored AI for you, your agents, and your users, and it gets better every day (often multiple times per day).
My mission is to help further optimize and accelerate the team’s strong output, which will be much easier said than done. I joined a month ago, and am in awe of how swiftly and surgically the team is already shipping.
It’s an insanely exciting time and space to be a builder, and I look forward to working with the talented team to continue fighting the good fight on behalf of our users and humanity.
Stay tuned.
