The hardest thing to compete with is a founder who understands a specific customer better than anyone else in the world.
In 2019, that was @CTurlica , @dozoisch, Mathieu M-Gosselin, and Nick Haase and the customer was the frontline worker.
Seven years in, our conviction in them has only deepened.
Congratulations to the entire @maintainx team!

Today, we're launching the ability to say yes to Muse at work.
People are giving Muse access to their company's most sensitive data & systems. Yet companies have no way to control this access. Many are blocking it. Others have had Muse go rogue, leaking company data, sending unauthorized emails, and more.
Runlayer provides hundreds of secured connectors for Muse, governed by deterministic policies & runtime security models that you can control. Runlayer also detects when Muse is being used within company systems without governance, and alerts you.
Teams get access to the most powerful personal agent. Companies maintain security and control. Win win.
stablecoins are now mass market
Starting the last week of October, 82 million Galaxy owners in the US can hold stablecoins and make cross-border payments to bank accounts in 60+ countries, straight from Samsung Wallet, powered by Bastion.
@nassyweazy, @CFriedman00, and the @Bastion team have spent years building enterprise-grade scale, compliance and risk controls for exactly this kind of moment. Nass said it best: financial infrastructure works best when people don't have to see it.
We're grateful to play our part: the integrations, ops tooling, and routing intelligence that connect Bastion to the local regulated partners behind those payouts, built to hold up at Samsung scale. Proud to be part of their journey. Congrats to the whole team.
It's time to bring the world onchain.

.@borderlessxyz Benchmark brings a much needed standard for stablecoin-fiat transparency—leveraging real-time data from global ramps to drive precision and trust // @KevLeht

𝐀 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐗 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.
The Borderless Benchmark is the first open, credibly neutral reference for stablecoin-to-fiat exchange rates - built on Borderless.xyz’s global payments network of regulated on- and off-ramp providers.
By aggregating real rate data across venues, currencies, and blockchains, it delivers a transparent, verifiable view of how stablecoins like USDC, USDT, or CUSD trade around the world.
🤝 Community-driven and builder-first
Every new contributor strengthens the dataset - helping fintechs, PSPs, and developers build on shared, transparent infrastructure for the stablecoin economy.
Now live in open beta (v0.1) - free to access, explore, and build on.

My favorite features in interface0 are “synthesis” and “enhance prompt”
Synthesis: Query is run on multiple different models simultaneously, then each output is used to feed a synthesis prompt generating an optimal response.
Enhance Prompt: no more “create me a prompt to ____” then running it. Prompt, enhance, run.
No one leans into Twitter lore harder than @nikitabier
Sometimes the most transformative companies operate behind the scenes. @MaintainX has quietly become the digital backbone of frontline operations for over eleven thousand organizations.
From Seed to today, it's been a privilege to watch you turn your passion for empowering frontline workers into an AI powerhouse!
Huge congrats to @CTurlica, @dozoisch & team at @maintainx on the Series D and here's to the journey ahead 🙌
Madlad! Let’s go!
Ladies and gentlemen, I've officially posted my way to the top:
I'm joining @X as Head of Product.
𝕏 is the most important social network in the world. It's where internet culture originates and where the world's most influential people convene.
Finding my community and building an audience on 𝕏 has impacted my life more than any single thing: it's unlocked friendships, professional opportunities and it's even where I met my girlfriend.
While I already spend every waking hour on this app, I'll now be spending that time helping others unlock that same value. And we'll certainly be leveraging the power of Grok to create hyper-relevant timelines and help people understand everything that's happening.
Thanks @elonmusk and the 𝕏 team for inviting me to work on the product that I live and breathe.

A great interview with @CJ_Reim, co-founder of @amityventures, sharing his perspective on the role of #stablecoins in the financial world and his unique approach to choosing companies to invest in. Here are a few key takeaways that really stood out to me:
1. People come first
When we were just getting started at @borderlessxyz, I met CJ and was struck by his approach to investing. He doesn’t just look at numbers or business plans - for him, it’s all about people. CJ looks for founders with asymmetric insight - unique experience and vision that help them see opportunities where others don’t.
In Borderless’s case, CJ took the time to meet with our entire team. Each of us had a chance to share our vision and the passion that brought us here. That kind of personal approach isn’t just talk - it’s a core part of how Amity Ventures builds partnerships.
2. Stablecoins aren’t a cure-all
Many believe stablecoins are meant to replace the traditional financial system. But that’s a misconception. Blockchain and stablecoins are powerful tools that can lay the foundation for a new era of fintech - not by replacing the system, but by improving it.
There are still many challenges to overcome: compliance, earning the trust of large banks and institutions, complex integrations, a fragmented landscape of technologies, blockchains, and stablecoins. Companies like Borderless are working to make stablecoins simpler, more accessible, and easier to understand for everyone.
3. What’s inspiring?
CJ shared a great example - a conversation with a major bank that sees the potential of stablecoins to reduce international transfer times from 3–7 days to near-instant. This isn’t just about technology - it’s about transforming the customer experience and unlocking massive cost savings for businesses.
And almost every day now, we hear how large enterprises and key industry players are adopting blockchain and stablecoins.
The momentum is real, and it’s not slowing down 🚀
This is just a small part of the insights from the conversation with CJ. His vision and approach to investing are truly motivating. For the full picture, I highly recommend watching the interview at the link: youtube.com/watch?v=lRrlQDLV…
Most pitch decks look the same but the people behind them never do. @CJ_Reim, co-founder of @amityventures, sits down and talks about:
1️⃣ The human thesis—why investor conviction starts with founders who move fast and know the problem cold. CJ Reim Transcript
2️⃣ Green flags (speed, asymmetric insight) and red flags (slow follow-ups, vague focus).
3️⃣ How emerging-market pain points—volatile FX, weak rails—make stablecoins an obvious upgrade.
4️⃣ A top U.S. bank exploring near-instant stablecoin wires to wipe out expensive “Where’s my money?” calls.
5️⃣ The myth of a separate “stablecoin world.” Spoiler: it will sit under regular banking apps before most people notice.
