@MuyaoShen Congrats Muyao!

tell me I’m not dreaming still… got a call at 4am my time - not about breaking news, but that I’m included in a Pulitzer finalist!! Such an honor to work with my incredible colleagues at Bloomberg on some of the most fascinating crypto stories last year

Today, we announce our $72 million Series A, co-led by @multicoin and @SignalFire. fun.xyz/news/series-a

@AlexKFine Alex is a true born leader, the kind you trust to steer the ship through any storm. Glad to be onboard, time to have Fun

Today Fun announced a $72M Series A. Since founding Fun has grown to serve millions of users and is now processing tens of billions in volume each year. We’re still early in this journey, but this is a good milestone to acknowledge the folks who really got us this far. I’m appreciative for team members like @chloefunxyz, Panda Xu, and Gabby Labi Tordjman who stuck with us through early & hard times. Grateful for folks like @connormcewen & Jeffrey Caron who have led to the team to where we are today. A special thank you to @ullastweets – who saved the company in our early days and has been a steadfast supporter on our board. There were many early supporters I learned from – like @cory & @justinmateen who supported me in getting off the ground. Obviously, a thank you to the partners who trust us with some of their most important money flows. Appreciative for the 30+ team members at Fun grinding through nights & weekends to make our business a reality. Finally, appreciative for the backers who put up the capital for this next round on growth – @SpencerApplebau, Jonathan Lim, @ullastweets, Jeremy Jonker, @aghosn9 and more. Those who know me well know I’ve always wanted to build a “real” company, and am feeling grateful to be at the starting line. Fun builds the highest converting money flows for the largest global fintech applications. If you like to solve hard technical problems, believe global capital markets create good, and love to craft beautiful products, I’d love to meet. We’re aggressively hiring in NYC & Singapore.

On Friday, Fun announced that it has raised $72 million to work with buzzy tech firms like Polymarket to let users deposit and withdraw funds in crypto and fiat, like the U.S. dollar. bit.ly/4n16D4p

@cyberdrk @WalletConnect End of an era

PSA: after 4 years at @WalletConnect, I'm passing the baton and am excited to glance at an empty calendar. It's been an awesome ride building WalletConnect into this core pillar of the ecosystem. I certainly have some learnings and scar tissue when it comes to building SDKs now... it also required a non-traditional CTO - at peak I'd have 20 meetings with partners in a single day. I'm bullish on WalletConnect's future, especially WalletConnect Pay - cards are a crutch and WalletConnect Pay is the solution. Stoked to cheer from the sidelines going forward. Huge gratitude for my all-star engineering and product team: @nachorivera7, @lukaisailovic, @Huxwell_, @jakubuid, @nuldiego, @RocchiTomas, Mario, @0xmagkha_, Mirna, @nachosantise, @0xGancho, @saitamoe, @enesozturkdev, @svennxyz, Ivan, @mechris13524, Felipe, @rplusq, @geek_maks, Alex, Cheun, @skibitsky, @CryptoProdMan, Nodar. And to the WalletConnect Council, the rest of the team across design, QA, ops, BD, and marketing. And to Rachel, @Cgmirror, and @Dolcemaschio for being awesome exec counterparts. And to @Houlgrave for building this together the past few years. And of course last but not least to @pedrouid for bringing me onboard and trusting me with this responsibility. Riaz is stepping in to lead the team and I couldn't be more pumped. He's a seasoned payments tech exec and I'm glad we were able to convince him to join us. I feel very lucky to have built and been part of such an awesome team which makes saying goodbye to so damn hard. Thank you all!

@AlexKFine Tokenization will do to assets what the internet did to information

stablecoin adoption will 10x-100x but nobody holds money in cash RWA adoption will be 10x-100x stablecoin adoption circle is worth $25b --> $2.5tr+ of equity value will be created here in <10 yrs

@tempo Tempo design is incredible @tanishqxyz 👀

Blockchains still broadcast every transaction publicly. Every stablecoin payment leaks the amount, the sender, and the recipient. We’re excited to share that Tempo is building Zones for businesses that need privacy: private blockchains that are interoperable with the rest of Tempo for stablecoin use cases like payroll, treasury, and settlement.

When a company starts to wrinkle and grey, they acquire a start up. That's their blood boy.

I’m happy to share that Offset (@offsetrl) has been acquired by Rogo (@rogoai) Finance has changed a lot over the years, yet the way financial work gets done has largely remained the same. We started Offset to rethink that Our thesis was simple. Self-learning AI systems should work directly inside the tools professionals already use, improving over time and giving people more time to focus on the things that matter With Rogo, Offset will now power the workflows of investment banking and private equity professionals around the world Building with my cofounder Raj has been an incredible journey. We're grateful for everyone that supported us along the way Here’s to building beautiful products

The future of applied finance is AI driven by Rogo.

Congratulations to my brothers, well deserved, proud of you guys @0xdanzu @BapireddyK @kakujain
