There's gonna be points where people are gonna mistake my confidence for arrogance because they don’t understand the process I went through and how much I had to believe in myself in order to make these things happen. - Curtis Jackson

“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” Today, on this and every Memorial Day, we honor those who bore that burden for all of us, and we carry their memory forward with humility and resolve. @tZERO

You know what isn't delayed? @Figure trading on OPEN. 24x7 limit order book (market making 5x18 and working to expand). Access to DeFi. Works under the current SEC rules. This is the way.

@roily23 my b missed this earlier got caught in some work stuff and never got back to reposting.

@hawk4075 time to post your rails GIF

@MicahhParsons11 Watch 1.5 quarters this year thats enough for me.

It’s becoming very hard to watch basketball!!

Little beer and baseball Friday night 🍻

A lack of understanding of the material difference between 'issuer-sponsored' (which both @tZERO and @Vertalo_ have been doing for years), and 'synthetic SPV stonks' inevitably leads to headlines of this 'quality'. We need a Clarity Act for financial/regulatory reporting about our industry.

Live look in at that kid who has out worked everyone for years when being told it wouldn't make a difference, "he couldn't close that gap". Hard work pays, it always has.

I think this is the distinction many people are still missing: • synthetic stock exposure vs • issuer-sponsored tokenized securities One creates economic exposure. The other rebuilds the ownership, settlement, custody, transfer, voting, and collateral infrastructure itself. Alan’s point is important: Synthetic wrappers may have use cases. But they are not the same thing as native compliant digital ownership. That distinction matters because direct tokenization potentially enables: • onchain ownership • voting rights • onchain dividends • securities lending efficiencies • collateral management • interoperability across financial systems That’s why firms like @tZERO spent years building regulated rails first. And honestly, the fact this discussion is now reaching broader financial media and market structure conversations is notable. The conversation is slowly shifting from: “Can tokenized assets exist?” to: “What regulated infrastructure will support them at scale?” That’s a much bigger discussion. @Alan_Konevsky @fintechfrank @pattersonscott @HesterPeirce My 2 cents worth zero.

Great discussion today at the @Jefferies Digital Assets Investor Conference, where @tZERO's CEO @Alan_Konevsky joined the “Tokenization & Capital Formation” panel to discuss the next phase of institutional digital asset infrastructure, alongside Alexander Yavorsky, @Jefferies; Carlos Domingo, @Securitize ; Jim Hiltner, @SuperstateInc; and Tom Zschach, @swiftcommunity. Key themes included: • the growing need for regulated infrastructure rails capable of supporting institutional adoption • increasing global convergence around tokenized markets and interoperability • the importance of AI interoperability within financial market infrastructure • the evolving “flavors” of tokenization, including wrapped versus natively issued digital assets As tokenized markets continue to mature, the conversation is increasingly moving toward scalable, interoperable infrastructure designed for real-world capital formation and secondary market activity. Reach out to our team if you’d like to learn more about how @tZERO’s end-to-end infrastructure solutions can help your firm build scalable, interoperable digital asset capabilities – sales@tzero.com

The underlying issues are starting to look structural, not just a slump. A slump is usually: • a few cold hitters • bad BABIP luck • rough sequencing • a tough week This feels different. The offense has looked disconnected for a while now. Too many: • non-competitive ABs • weak contact • empty innings • missed RBI chances • strikeouts in key spots • counts immediately working against hitters But honestly, it’s not just the offense anymore. The baserunning has been poor. The defense has been inconsistent. And the little mistakes keep compounding. Extra outs. Missed cutoffs. Bad reads. Poor jumps. Mental mistakes. Fundamental baseball slipping at the margins. That’s usually when concern shifts from: “the bats will wake up” to “there may be deeper organizational issues here.” Because good teams can survive injuries. Good teams can survive cold streaks. But when: • the offense struggles • the defense leaks runs • the baserunning costs opportunities • and fundamentals erode at the same time …it starts looking less like variance and more like identity. The pitching has carried a lot of this roster for stretches. But eventually the rest of the team has to support it. That’s the concerning part right now with the Detroit Tigers. Not just losing. Looking fundamentally poor in multiple phases of baseball at the same time. My 2 cents worth 0

Final: Guardians 3, Tigers 2

🚀 The long-awaited @tZERO mobile app is just 6 weeks away - max! Been counting down & looking forward to this [legit tokenized markets 23.5 hrs a day on an app]. Could this launch mark everyday access to tokenized finance at scale? Let's get this one right, @Alan_Konevsky & team

Trying to think through where this can go and in my opinion we need to understand the difference between: Non-traditional assets vs traditional assets. I think many people still misunderstand the real opportunity here. Traditional assets already have liquid markets. Apple stock doesn’t have a liquidity problem. Non-traditional assets do. IP Royalties Private company shares Revenue-sharing agreements Patent licensing Future AI-agent cash flows Historically these assets have been: • illiquid • hard to value • difficult to transfer • trapped inside fragmented/inefficient private markets That’s why this Overstock IP security is interesting. It’s not just “tokenization.” It’s an attempt to create regulated liquidity + price discovery for assets that historically never had efficient secondary markets at all. That’s a much bigger idea than digital stocks. The token is the lead. The rails are the story. My 2 cents worth zero.

@Coondawg069 @TigersJUK 7 vs. 13 1. Spencer Strider — elbow surgery 2. Ronald Acuña Jr. — ACL recovery 3. Joe Jiménez — knee surgery 4. Sean Murphy — fractured ribcage 5. Nacho Alvarez Jr. — wrist inflammation 6. Reynaldo López — shoulder surgery 7. Spencer Strider — hamstring strain

@hawk4075 @TigersJUK My apologies, to the Braves. They were over .500 a year ago today

The Tigers need to 65-48 the rest of the way to get to 85 wins. Zero chance.

@Coondawg069 @TigersJUK I get it but the tigers are already 72%+ of the way there compared to the injury total of the braves in 2025. Making this an understatement

@TigersJUK The 2025 Atlanta Braves

@koket_kevin @tigers That was poor on the ump too. He see how close the challenge was and comes back and pimps the rookie on the next one. (The first one was a strike I’m right, sit down kid call.) Tough break for Mcgonigle

@tigers Mcgonigle challenged the wrong pitch!’

RUN RILEY RUN

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC prepares to allow blockchain-based tokenized stock trading.

I will post these again in 4 games time…
