Many Asian markets are rolling out their own local stablecoins. Hong Kong is one of the leaders of global stablecoin and blockchain technology adoption. The city has always inspired me with its talent and the projects that emerge from here 🇭🇰 I recently caught up with my friend Larry Lin @ImSmolpotato, Global Partnerships Lead at Kaia Chain. He told me about his journey at Kaia Labs the new project he is actively building with his team - @RatioFX ✨ Ratio is building the on-chain FX layer for Asia’s stablecoin ecosystem connecting capital and liquidity across the region while keeping costs low, staying compliant, and operating at real-world scale. 🎙️ Full conversation below: (0:33) Kaia's origin story: merger of Klaytn and Finschia backed by Kakao and LINE, challenges of merging two blockchains and corporate cultures (1:53) Kaia's 2026 strategy: shifting focus to stablecoins and onchain finance (2:51) How Kaia's LINE dApp portal differs from Telegram Initial dApp portal focus: gaming and consumer apps for Web2 users (5:02) Balancing APAC dominance vs. Western expansion (7:43) RWA tokenization as a key 2026 narrative and Kaia's Project Pegasus (8:32) Meet Ratio: on-chain FX stablecoin orchestration layer for Asia (11:10) The problem Ratio solves and how it delivers Web2-level exchange rates onchain (14:27) Ratio's B2B model and regulated/compliant institutional approach (17:10) Ratio + Kaya: no separate L1 planned and why

@thisisgrantlee When I had to prepare slides, it supposed to be the worst day ever. Not anymore, Gamma saves me from this

There's a hidden tax on every knowledge worker in the world, and nobody talks about it: The design tax. You're a strategist, a sales lead, a marketer. You were hired for what you know. But every meeting, every pitch, every proposal expects you to show up with something that looks like a designer made it. I lived this. Before Gamma, I spent time in consulting and investment banking. I spent more hours formatting slides than the analysis that went into them. When my cofounders and I started Gamma, we asked: what if you never had to be a designer in the first place? Five years and nearly 100 million users later, we've refunded billions of hours of the design tax. Today, we're eliminating it for good with our biggest launch ever. Gamma Imagine — a powerful, AI-native visual creation tool directly in Gamma. Posters, logos, infographics, visuals from a single prompt. On brand, every time. AI-Native Templates. Templates were supposed to save you from design work. Instead you spent the time filling them in. So we completely rebuilt the template experience. Modify a whole deck with a single prompt, with your brand and style intact every time. Gamma Connectors. You're already thinking in ChatGPT and Claude. Now Gamma sits inside the most popular work apps in the world. No more context-switching. You were hired for your ideas, not to resize text boxes. Let Gamma pay the design tax.

chat, which glasses for Cannes? Help me pick left or right

@Route2FI Great take. Smaller profit better than a loss, so it’s great you’re not angry on yourself 👍🏻

One thing I’ve been thinking a lot about over the years is that this kind of market won't last forever. One day we will look back at making it from crypto just as how easy the poker players did it in the early 2000s. Even though I first entered crypto full time in 2021, I think it is way more difficult now compared to 5 years ago. People don't understand how lucky they are to be trading in this market. As an example I woke up yesterday seeing all the TAO subnets was pumping, I bought TAO and felt I was superlate ($265). I didn’t nail it perfectly at all and sold at $277 on a pullback the same day. Then today I saw it went to $300 and was angry on myself. Anyway, I booked 5%, and if even I, as a quite mediocre trader, are able to earn something from this market, there are good chances that you can too if you spend a lot of time on this. Every day you're not locked in, is a day you can't get back.

@polinochkaoops @solana @WalletConnect @SolanaEvents And just give it a shot even if it’s intimidating

Here’s my @solana story (and why I love Solana).💜 Last year in May, I had JUST gotten hired at @WalletConnect after my epic layoff from Cointelegraph that went viral. My first assignment was to go to Solana Accelerate in NYC and shoot content + run a booth. Now. Up to that point, I had done 3 years entirely in the Ethereum space and I knew NO ONE in Solana. So I was nervous.🥺👉👈 But I didn’t have to. People came and spoke to me. I made friends with a bunch of the Superteam leaders, a few creators, some founders, and KOLs. I loved the event so I posted my honest impressions. Well, @solana followed and reposted. @toly and @rajgokal both followed me. I was shocked.🤯 Was it *that* easy to get accepted into the Solana space? Apparently, yes. No ego. Since then, I’ve gone to a number of Superteam events, made SO many friends in Solana, pet @mert’s bald head in Singapore, attended the SG Accelerate, Breakpoint in Abu Dhabi, had @ramzyyalii in my content… Made friends with @platis_e (I’m a huge fan of hers, we all are), and I’ll be going to the London Breakpoint too. Plus, we at WalletConnect as a team love Solana and are making plans with @solanaspaces for something really cool. Solana is welcoming. It’s fun. There’s degen but there’s the seriousness of teams who understand revenue and how to make money and reach users. Besides, @vibhu is the absolute GOAT at media (plz let me intern with you for a day?) and @niran7 is crushing social. I’ve got a feeling that is just the beginning. Happy birthday to the ultimate comeback kid. ily

@leonabboud He he 😊
