@dom_kwok @kwok_phil Big bois gotta eat 💪 Gigachad mode

arrived in DC. first meal of the day!

@EvgenyGaevoy The average crypto twitter/X user has the attention lifespan of a goldfish so idk what you expected here

I've seen a lot more people dunking than celebrating and it makes sense, after all most of us in crypto "pivoted" to be absorbed by the existing world machine. I also don't think most of the commentators made it past the blog post to the actual manifesto/mandate, just a sign of times I guess, clicking one extra link and spending time to read through is tough. On a more serious note, EF currently is the only player with both the resources and network effects to not just keep cypherpunk dream alive but also to actually make it happen. Will this accrue to eth price wise short term? Certainly not. Will it accrue to it long term? Only if it wins (and wins under the conditions it set for itself, not because of being adopted by tradfi). Should we care about price at all? Personally think the goal here is more important I absolutely think that we should have somebody at least trying this on grand scale instead of pursuing financial applications (and I’m pretty aware how funny it must sound from CEO of prop trading firm that made it from financial applications of blockchains🙃). Rest of us can do what they do and choose to hold eth or not. If I’m honest, holding it is a very long shot, but there are way worse cults out there, so I’ll keep my eth for the culture and memes🫡

@crazyox @synthetix @DeriveXYZ DeFi 期权还在早期, 空间那是天大的

@willmeng_ @synthetix @DeriveXYZ 当初没人看好的项目现在反杀了，DeFi期权赛道确实还有很大想象空间

Remember a time when @synthetix was looking to acquire @DeriveXYZ for a measly $27 million? (And at a DISCOUNT?) Well $DRV has now flipped $SNX in FDV Still early days for DeFi options, I wouldn't sleep on this one

@DeFiDerivatives @synthetix @DeriveXYZ Agreed - glad the team handled the situation perfectly and made the right call

@willmeng_ @synthetix @DeriveXYZ I remember this and was so furious personally. Synthetix acquisition would have completely killed derive for sure. So glad it didn’t go through and the community was extremely vocally against it. Had a small rage rant myself x.com/defiderivative…

@eldarcap Would be an absolute tragedy

Thank god they didn’t succeed

@preTrillionaire @synthetix @DeriveXYZ 🫡

@willmeng_ @synthetix @DeriveXYZ u were early to this x.com/willmeng_/stat…

Feel like these days people forget to price in resilience and reliability for DeFi protocols For perp dexs in particular, it’s essentially the status quo to get to X amount of volume, Y OI as quickly as possible and ship to tge ASAP such that each “point” is proportionally worth a lot more Somewhat mind boggling to me that a perp dex that has existed almost as long as Hyperliquid and consistently among the top in volume and OI is currently trading 50m FDV, but that is beyond me Anyways, congratulations to @fiddybps1, @noncesensicalll, and team on the tge. Despite the ups and downs, this team has grit. To all the shizopunks, Dave believers, and all other @paradex users out there, happy tge day

DeFi is dead, but I still wish someone would build power perpetuals. paradigm.xyz/2021/08/power-…

Conversations from #ConsensusHK2026 around market infrastructure are still resonating. 🌐 Over 11K builders gathered in Hong Kong, and @Auros_Global was right in the mix with Main Stage presence and critical liquidity discussions.💬 1/5

@timahhl @solana shipping at the speed of light

Titan’s core focus remains building the best platform for spot trading on @solana excited to launch additional spot trading tools soon like private swaps, DCA, trigger orders while continuing to improve our Argos routing algorithm trade on titan

@HyperliquidX I will also add that both @Architect_Fi and @PythNetwork (which are highlighted in the article) have made huge strides in supporting equity perps and other RWAs since last year Really glad to see both teams continue to push the frontier of RWAs trading

In honor of 5 year anniversary of the meme stocks short squeeze saga and also the recent exponential growth of equity perps via @HyperliquidX HIP-3 exchanges, I want to reshare an article I wrote last year that is now much more relevant compared to when it was written I stand firm on the perspective that perpetual futures are the most efficient method to execute equity shorts (much more efficient than anything available in the existing TradFi system) and this is caused by many legacy inefficiencies that should have been fixed long ago Crazy to think that HIP-3 markets did not even exist when this article was written - a testament to how much progress was made within the last year, I wouldn't want to sleep on whatever happens this coming year

The devil is in the details Some fair points raised by @malekanoms - big announcements with plenty of buzzwords feel like the norm these days I for one would love to see some delivery You’ve talked the talk, now let’s see you walk the walk @NYSE

Institutional demand is on the rise in crypto but is the liquidity there to support this shift? Our Chief Commercial Officer @0xjatkins was recently featured on @CoinDesk where he highlights why institutional-grade liquidity is critical for the next phase of market growth coindesk.com/markets/2026/0…
