Amazon banning agents is the first opportunity I've seen since Amazon was founded for a startup to create an Amazon competitor. People will want agents to buy stuff for them. It will be one of the main use cases. And they won't want to use some Amazon-supplied agent to do it.

What BitTorrent did for files, we want to do for AI inference. Antseed lets anyone buy and sell access to AI models, on their own terms. The Antseed Foundation has raised $2.4M in a token round led by Spark Capital to help make that happen.

EtherFi is launching their own stablecoin, powered by Ethena Whitelabel. @ether_fi has >$300m of stablecoin deposits held across their platform. Reserves, mint and redeem, & compliance for @ether_fi USD will be managed end to end by Ethena. Since launching their category-defining Cash card in 2024, they have scaled to nearly $1 billion in cumulative spend and more than 100,000 active cards. The best stablecoin neobanks will move to own the entire stack and earn from idle deposit balances alongside their broader product suite.

The @ether_fi team executed one of the most impressive product expansions in the last cycle growing into the most successful self custodial neobank in the space. We've been impressed from the outside on their execution quality, consistency building through the bear market and obsessive focus on product - one of the few teams we look up to at Ethena. Yes it is somewhat competitive with Ethena Pay, but the very best builders just focus on building the best product with the best partners, and look beyond the crypto-native user set as the addressable market opportunity. Ethena will power their new whitelabel stablecoin end-to-end, with USDe already supporting their separate earn savings vaults. In order for these applications to fully capture their revenue opportunity, they need to control the deposit and float via stablecoin balances. This is a trend @ether_fi will pioneer and I'm sure we will see others will follow closely behind.

RISEx did $769.5M last week, up 15% from $669.4M BTC volume alone grew 37%, from $192.6M to $263.8M MSTR just entered our RWA leaderboard for the first time at $10.4M; in the same week, BTC volume surged - not a coincidence at all. What are we trading this week?

Multi-party block construction is live on mainnet supported by teams across the @blockspaceforum. One of the most significant upgrades to Ethereum's transaction pipeline since the Merge, and @BlockSpace_ETH helped to ship it. Excited to back the team pushing Ethereum forward.

RiseX is an absolute sleeper in the perps landscape. $440K in revenue in June and $2B in total volume thus far. Very early but team is shipping hard and think they may surprise some... We have been supporting this team for nearly two years now and they have reached critical mass in terms of PMF. Higher.

Jeff Bezos explains the stock-is-not-company rule behind Amazon's $113 to $6 collapse. "Our stock peaked somewhere around $113." "Then after the internet bubble busted open, our stock went down to $6." "It went from $113 to $6 in less than a year." "My annual shareholder letter that year starts with a one word sentence." "Ouch." Then Bezos gives the rule most operators forget in a crash: "The stock is not the company, and the company is not the stock." While the outside price was collapsing, he was watching the inside machine: "Number of customers." "Profit per unit." "Defects." "Every single thing about the business was getting better and fast." The useful idea: do not let the market's scoreboard replace your operating dashboard. A price can scream panic while the business is quietly getting healthier. - Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) on Bloomberg's The David Rubenstein Show
