Today we announced a strategic relationship with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). • ICE has made a direct investment in OKX and joining our Board of Directors • ICE will license OKX spot crypto prices to launch U.S.-regulated futures • OKX plans to provide access to ICE U.S. futures and NYSE tokenized equities markets to our 120M users Together, we’re advancing the infrastructure connecting digital assets and global capital markets.

I’m joining @Optimism to lead narrative and strategy. You either die a hero or live long enough to see “storyteller” in your job title. Here we are. We’re at an inflection point most people are still missing. Regulatory clarity arrived. JPMorgan processes $2B daily on blockchain rails. BlackRock manages $2.5B in tokenized assets. The GENIUS Act gave banks a real pathway in. The question shifted from “if institutions come onchain” to “through whom.” Everyone talks about bringing a billion users onchain. Here’s what I’ve come to believe: That doesn’t happen through consumer apps alone. It happens when the institutions those users already trust—their banks, their exchanges, their payment providers—build on infrastructure they can actually rely on. The billion users come through the enterprise door. And the enterprises coming through that door want three things: their own blockchain, their own revenue, and guarantees they can take to their board. Optimism has a front row seat for this. Coinbase built @base on the OP Stack. Sony’s @soneium. Kraken’s @inkonchain. Uniswap’s @unichain. @world_chain_. These aren’t experiments—they’re production systems processing over half of all Ethereum L2 transactions. When enterprises evaluate where to build, they’re choosing Optimism. I spent time understanding the architecture before saying yes. The OP Stack is MIT licensed and fully open. Stage 1 decentralization means permissionless fraud proofs and independent exit windows. When a CTO looks under the hood, they find something built by people who know what they’re doing. Technical credibility closes deals. I also believe in the people. @jinglejamOP, @karl_dot_tech, @ben_chain, Kevin, @tyneslol , and the team have been building toward an open internet for years—through bear markets, technical rewrites, and an industry that rewards hype over substance. They kept shipping. That dedication is rare, and it’s why the Superchain exists today. The next few years will be exciting. AI agents coordinating through programmable rails. Institutional capital flowing into infrastructure that doesn’t require trust in intermediaries. The technology receding into the background until it becomes invisible, essential, everywhere. Like electricity. Like the internet before it. Optimism has been building for years. Now it’s time to tell that story. Four years at @FWBtweets taught me how much narrative matters. Optimism built something real. It’s time to make sure people know. Let’s go.
