One of the most incredible bits of detective work I've ever had the honor and privilege of editing. @glxyresearch goes deep

STRATEGY SOLD BITCOIN IN MAY POLYMARKET SAYS IT DIDN'T everyone who bought YES predicted the future correctly, and the market just told them they were wrong. that is a failure. new @glxyresearch piece on what actually broke here

We’d like to congratulate to @fiume_magazin on their recent issue. As a result of their recent collaboration with Curtis Yarvin we’ve received questions on whether he is involved with our gallery. He is not. Fiume is an independent cultural institution founded by Rachel Haywire.

To be clear: We are big fans of prediction markets in general and Polymarket in particular. But this dispute highlights one of the platform's longstanding weaknesses.

@wowens’ alert was sent to clients today and will be published later on galaxy.com/insights/resea…. Trade or invest with Galaxy to receive the most timely research directly in your inbox.

TLDR: resolution integrity trumps any single outcome. Prediction markets should price what happens, not how the oracle will reinterpret rules after the fact. We outline clear fixes: lock criteria at listing, deterministic resolution for verifiable events, and structural changes ahead of CFTC regulation.

The core issue is whether the original rules (event-based) or the post-trade clarification (confirmation-based) governs. Traders correctly predicted the future. The platform is about to tell them they were wrong anyway.

FIVE HOURS LEFT 🕔 @polymarket traders are livid over a proposal to resolve "no" on "@Strategy sells any BTC by May 31" even though $MSTR did sell $BTC in May. Final decision expected by 8pm ET. @wowens covered the dispute in a new report to our clients & counterparties.

We are expanding our US investment team, looking for both early and growth stage investors, in NYC or willing to move. Looking to add both people with product/eng experience and those who have invested in fintech/SaaS/etc before. Come hang with myself, @tomhschmidt, and @TheOneandOmsy in Union Square if you want to spend all your time thinking about the future of finance.

Crypto finance conglomerate Galaxy Digital has launched a trading desk to offer large investors better access to prediction markets bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

“'I think quite often when there’s something new that people don’t like, they hold it to unusual standards compared to other things that exist,' Hanson stated. … 'imperfection' in a new thing is used as a rationale to block it by people 'who are invested in an old thing.' benzinga.com/markets/predic…

@DaveCothran @WIRED I had to check to make sure it really said that. It really said that.

@WIRED "...minor crimes like vandalism, blocking a roadway, or trespassing during a protest as felonies that would carry 18-month prison sentences as punishment." So, actual crimes that have nothing to do with free speech, got it. Good for them.

The right-wing think tank is actively pushing “civil terrorism”—increasing penalties for minor crimes committed while people engage in constitutionally protected free speech. wired.com/story/the-manh…

these very old coins were served by ‘Noah Doe’ in the abandoned property case apparently they were not, in fact, abandoned 🤔
