Yay! I got my #NFT Certificate for the Decentralized Finance course #DeFi #blockchain #UNIC. It's been a transformative journey learning from the experts at @UNIC_ENG University of Nicosia, especially Prof. George @giaglis The insightful course content and the structured approach to teaching made the complex subject matter very understandable. Kudos to the team at University of Nicosia! opensea.io/assets/ethereu…

“ERC-3643 is on the Ethereum blockchain as one example, where people are experimenting with things that are embedded.” - SEC’s Chairman, Paul S. Atkins. Watch here: youtu.be/Bn5YQoFcJBU?t=…

We are entering the age of synthetic assets. Meaning of ownership, wealth are all going to change.  Golden age to witness the change in world order.

The past few days have been filled with headlines reacting to Larry Fink and Rob Goldstein’s comments on tokenization in The Economist. I wanted to get past the soundbites, so I went back and read the original piece — link in the post. A few lines stand out: – They call tokenization “the next major evolution in market infrastructure,” arguing it will move assets faster and more securely than the systems investors rely on today. – They describe blockchain as a way for almost any asset to exist on a single digital record that participants can independently verify — not a slogan, but a structural change. – They’re explicit about what this replaces: paper with code. The frictions that make assets costly and slow to trade don’t disappear with marketing, but they do with better infrastructure. – And importantly, they frame tokenization as an expansion of the investable universe, not just a new wrapper for the same listed stocks and bonds. They also point out that tokenized traditional assets are already up around 300% over the past 20 months. When comments like this come directly from the leadership of the world’s largest asset manager, it’s worth paying attention. It feels less like a trend and more like the groundwork for what comes next.

“Is real estate ready to go on-chain? Only if the data gets real-time” by @CyprusMail. Cooperation of @DmitryMeshkov (@quex_tech), @francies_hel (@UFarmDigital), @zarin (@CyndicateClub), and @PavlosLoizou (Ask Wire) explored how real-time, verifiable data can unlock the full potential of tokenized real estate.

Tokenized real estate & RWA rails kept compounding last week (Sep 29–Oct 5). Here are the 10 that actually mattered — compliance, liquidity, and listed-equity moves. 👇👇👇👇

@stan3web Hi Stan, Happy to catch up!

If anyone’s down to hang out in Singapore, just shoot me a message🫡 Can’t wait to meet some awesome people!

Going to Singapore for #Token2049 Let’s catch up! Here’s a list of #RWA side events

Are you interested in hierarchical dimensionality analysis? Here's our new "Taxonomic Graph Analysis" used to model the IPIP-NEO Personality Hierarchy. The project is led by Andrew Samo and Alexander Christensen, with the collaboration of Luis Garrido, Paco Abad, Sam McAbee, and me! In our preprint (link in the comments) we introduce a new approach to understanding personality structure: Taxonomic Graph Analysis (TGA), is a comprehensive network psychometrics approach that identifies hierarchical personality structures from the bottom up rather than imposing existing theoretical models. We applied TGA to the open-source 300-item IPIP-NEO dataset with over 149,000 participants and reveal a three-level structure of personality: 28 first-level dimensions (facets) 6 second-level dimensions (traits) 3 third-level dimensions (meta-traits) What makes this approach very interesting is how it addresses longstanding methodological challenges in personality assessment: Local independence violations Wording effects Dimensionality assessment Structural robustness While some dimensions aligned with traditional IPIP-NEO structure, we found significant deviations. The emergence of novel dimensions like "Sociability," "Integrity," and "Impulsivity" at the second level and a "Disinhibition" meta-trait at the third level represents a major departure from the traditional five-factor model. Our research effectively integrates empirical findings scattered across personality literature into a coherent hierarchical structure. This data-driven framework demonstrates TGA's value for investigating complex psychological constructs and offers a rigorous new perspective on personality taxonomy. This work exemplifies how innovative psychometric methods can reshape our understanding of fundamental psychological constructs. Its implications extend beyond personality assessment to potentially revolutionize how we conceptualize and measure human traits across psychology.

We’re Still So Early in RWAs Everyone talks about “bringing trillions on-chain,” but few will talk about the trial-and-error the legal uncertainty or the difficulty of bridging traditional finance with DeFi. That’s the part we’re living through right now. It can be fun, frustrating & exciting. There’s going to be mistakes. Teams will pivot. The legal environment is still developing. And not every experiment will work out. But that’s what being early looks like. If you’re building, investing, or even just paying attention, you’re ahead & You’re early. And there’s real value in that. The shift is happening & I can only advise that you go with the flow and stay positioned.

Adding BTC to Real Estate will disrupt traditional real estate investing and more importantly SOLVE many of the problems inherent in real estate. This will revolutionize simple single family ownership and the complex commercial real estate industry. Under the leadership of @pulte at Fannie/Freddie and the Trump's mandate to make USA crypto capital of the world change is coming fast. Grant Cardone, CardoneCapital
