I saw versions of this story everywhere I worked across emerging markets. It's one of the main reasons I started @jia_DeFi .

Met a small business owner outside Manila a few years back. Good contracts, steady demand, growing business. She'd had to let two employees go the year before.
Not because orders dried up. Because she was waiting 90 days to get paid and couldn't make payroll. 🧵

4. finally, i like the optimism at the end. it’s easy to get cynical in this space. but yeah, token launchpads, new deal structures, progressive regulation — all of that feels like fertile ground for building something better. makes me want to keep pushing toward that!
English
3 ctd. so early capital that gives founders space to build before facing the market is still incredibly valuable. maybe the next evolution is hybrid: capped warrants, delayed emissions, rev-share backed tokens, etc.

finally finished @jonmoore202's piece on the evolution of crypto capital markets which had hiding in a browser tab since "conviction buyer" meant something.
worth a read for anyone thinking about how crypto is reshaping early-stage funding. some reflections it sparked for me 🧵
Jonathan Moore@jonmoore202
Crypto companies are breaking the traditional venture model. Talent is global and the potential for exits and value accrual is expanding rapidly. There are more tokens than ever before and the competition for capital attention is only increasing. Some thoughts below on the evolving role of crypto capital markets and the increasing need for conviction.

Payoneer ran a good ol TradFi heist: $257M in interest, $0 to the SMBs who generated the float.
Imagine that yield streamed back to businesses via stables or tokenized MMFs. It's fair. It’s GDP alpha.
We’re building that future at Jia. DeFi for the doers. 🧱📈🌍
Rob Hadick ＞|＜@HadickM
Payoneer earned $257mm of interest income on $7bn of customer deposits instead of paying any of that back to their largely SMB customers. Imagine if that interest could be programmatically paid to the SMBs utilizing stables/tokenized MMFs. What type of stimulus that would have on local job creation and GDP in those markets EMs that are relying on that business? Stablecoins and tokenized assets will bring a boom to EM SMBs in a wave we haven't seen since smart phones.

Some people just get it from day one.
I was stuck in Nairobi traffic on my first call with @sjternullo — he instantly got what we were building at @jia_DeFi and backed us. Then came back not once, not twice, but 3x.
That kind of belief stays with you.
