LOL Trevor Milton is raising $1B at a $4B valuation for an autonomous jet (consumer and military), says the most wealthy people in the world say “we can trust you now” because of the Trump pardon, and Trump affiliates are helping him.
Good luck!

@JustinESports The length of the deal was unconscionable. But the name isn’t as bad as the football stadium’s. That is horrendously bad.

Arizona fans,
What do you think about Arizona's deal with Alkeme for naming rights to McKale Center? We're doing a story on fans' opinions for Tucson.com. Let us know! 👇

@staysaasy @pitdesi I remember when google glasses came out and what a wet blanket it was on conversations when someone nearby was wearing them.

This is the killer use case for me
I'm constantly trying to remember how I know someone. Being very online means more ppl recognize me than vice versa
Glasses that whisper "that's John at x fund, you met him at money2020" would be very nice.

There’s an unrelenting heat bearing down on college hoops. Brayden Burries, Jaden Bradley and Koa Peat and Arizona are 21-0, the best start in program history. U of A's star trio covers SLAMU 18.

@AlexH_Johnson Sports reporters and recruiting analysts are already in shock about how bad of an idea this is.

Awesome. Just awesome. There's no way that this will lead to insider trading. x.com/InGameHQ/statu…

Kalshi has filed forms to accept bets on who enters NCAA Transfer Portal. Documents say that Kalshi intends to offer the contracts possibly as soon as end of business on Wednesday.

Coinbase partners with Kalshi to launch prediction markets. The most trusted name in crypto integrates the world’s leading prediction market. Millions more will have access to Kalshi.

@jasonscheer Kalshi is basically an insider trading app at this point

I could make an absurd amount of money on this if I gambled and even I think this is an awful idea.

@jerzydevil @jasonscheer Yikes! Thanks for the heads up. I had checked SeatGeek and StubHub

@num85rules @jasonscheer This is blatantly false. I got tickets in the corner for $67 3 days ago. Hundreds of tickets available for less than $70 behind both baskets.

"From what I heard, Arizona fans need to go buy tickets. There's a lot of tickets available for this game. LA is a tougher market."

Is this the highest valued non-AI pre-revenue startup ever?
$1B trading volume last month (vs $875M for Kalshi) but they aren't charging... I think it's going to be an awesome business

@PatrickMackay @FintechTakes @khaslett I think it sticks. It’s a great way to gather low cost deposits. It would be bigger industry news if the pioneering banks in this space hadn’t fallen victim in the post-SVB crash.
English
I just listened to the latest episode of Bank Nerd Corner by @FintechTakes with Alex Johnson and @khaslett and very much enjoyed all the stories covered. Thank you!
With respect to tokenized deposits, Alex mentioned that a possible reason for their use would be to provide visibility into large transactions by commercial customers who are participating in a variety of activities as parties and counterparties.
I’m curious what sort of documentation or disclosure requirements and expectations don’t already exist that make “visibility” a solid benefit of tokenized deposits. Moreover, would a commercial customer want said documentation be available for all to see on a permissionless blockchain?
On a side note, I'm interested to see if traditional finance’s “newish” interest in blockchain will survive the next downturn / bear market or if it will be fleeting and ephemeral. There is an argument that the integration of stablecoins and blockchain payment rails will result in a sort of sticky permanence but time will tell.

@TrungTPhan Including the hot tub stormtrooper minifig (from the Star Wars saga video games) is hilarious.

LEGO dropped its most expensive set ever: a $1,000 cross-section of the Death Star with a bunch of famous scenes (9,023 pieces).
Solid reminder that Star Wars is 10-15% of LEGO’s annual revenue of $10B+ (and adults make up 1/4 of sales).

Ring cameras are partnering with Axon (makers of police body cameras, among other police tech) to make a new feature that allows people to opt-in to police being able to live-stream everything the doorbell camera sees AND allow police to request footage directly from users

@AlexH_Johnson I assume a good portion of lower seats at certain sporting events are all white collar criminals spending their ill gotten gains
English
I'd have more respect for white collar criminals if they spent their ill-gotten gains on cooler stuff.
For the most part, it's all fancy cars, vacation homes, and country club memberships. Boring.

@commbankerguy These are the guys who think it is a good idea to tap a new keg at 1am to keep the party going

Admittedly, this whole Bessent and Trump plan to aggressively lower rates has me on tilt.
It honestly feels like fear of being in the rocket ship and about to launch. 🚀 Knowing the ending will not be good and no clue when it will happen.

@AlexH_Johnson I’m hearing more anecdotal stories of college kids blowing through their student loans on sports parlays. This is only going to get worse with massive consequences on society.
English
The idea of prediction markets adding parlays is both utterly ridiculous and incredibly likely.
Ryan Butler@ButlerBets
Prediction Markets in their current form don't present a major threat to existing major sportsbooks, which make the vast majority of their profit from parlays, panelists at today's SBC Conference agreed; the threat is if (or when) they expand parlay options
