Congrats !!! @securitize + @NYSE = Massive deal for RWA’s and tokenized security market growth 🙌🏻
Carlos Domingo@carlosdomingo

So summarizing, @securitize will be the first TA and tokenization platform chosen by @nyse, we will be their design partner for their digital transfer agent program to develop standards for native tokenization and on-chain settlement of tokenized securities, and our BD Securitize Markets will be a market participant on their upcoming Digital Trading Platform. Very proud and humbled to have been chosen by @nyse for this role, and thanks to @mblaugrund for steering the partnership

.@Polymarket could arguably end up smarter than every AI combined. The same emergent wisdom that makes markets beat any single participant could emerge when agents start seriously competing. On top of that, agents excel at digging into long-tail/obscure events. So we may see this efficient market dynamic play out across the whole spectrum of markets, not just the most popular ones.

Agents aren’t priced into crypto liquids; what if they were? Amid a flood of overhyped narratives around agents × crypto, our research engineer @zile_cao explores where the category may be heading.

Last week our investor @anay_sim hosted an intimate dinner around a question Carlota Perez's work frames well: when does the speculative era give way to the productive one? Crypto has matured with every cycle and its most pivotal chapter is just beginning.

This is a specious and disingenuous argument. Stablecoin issuers don’t want to be fractional reserve banks that make risky loans and therefore need heavy regulation. They want to be fully reserved money market style products that exclusively hold ST Treasuries. We shouldn’t let Jamie get away with fake logic and false comparisons. He knows better.

Jamie Dimon AI & crypto: AI is real: Companies should deploy it. It could mean 3–4 day workweeks, but if adoption moves too fast, job losses could outpace retraining. Govt should step up with income assistance + training. But they're "not prepared.” On crypto market structure: Banks say rewards = interest. If you pay on balances, you should be regulated like a bank. "We've been firm...if you want to be a bank become a bank then you can do whatever you want." source: CNBC

Our GP @alekslarsen has been using AI as an analyst. And... it's working better than we expected. Here's what we learned about what it's genuinely good at, where it falls short, and how it's changing our workflow.
Aleks Larsen@alekslarsen

When I first started using Claude Code for analyzing Excel/PDFs, it would ignore important data and hallucinate. After a bunch of trial and error, I've gotten it pretty close to private equity analyst level (maybe better?) Here are the main learnings that make it work:

Timing and conviction matter when building an industry. we are in the biz of making our founders’ dreams come true. following the meme/fad of the day rarely works when you have a long time frame and patient capital. Experience matters too. great post be @jonah_b & @CremeDeLaCrypto
Blockchain Capital@blockchaincap

The industry was right about the tech. Right about adoption. But not about value capture. A must-read from @CremeDeLaCrypto and @jonah_b on the uncomfortable truth facing builders and investors in crypto right now👇

Yes, crypto is down. But it’s 10x stronger than it was 10 years ago. Respect to the VCs who funded conviction when this industry was still a science experiment.
