I joined 60+ CEOs and founders in signing a letter to Senate leaders: developer protections are essential to any workable crypto market structure bill. We urge the Senate to pass the Clarity Act with robust developer protections.  Read our full letter: t.ly/iXpDU   @fund_defi

This week, along with our friends at @deptvc, we responded to the @CFTC 's prediction markets ANPRM. These new markets offer a fresh approach to hedging risk, price discovery and disseminating price information (i.e. truth). We argue that the Commission should adopt a narrow, consistent, public interest framework to regulately them fairly. Markets should only be prohibited if they pose disproportionate risk of incentivizing crimes or other bad acts, or are uniquely vulnurable to manipulation, and neither of these properties can be solved with other policy tools at the Commission, or the DCMs', disposal.

Introducing Predicate Asset Compliance: Automated compliance controls for stablecoins and RWAs. Issuers define policies for who can and can’t access their assets. Predicate enforces them in real time, directly onchain. Here's how it works and why we built it.

On-chain credit is the next big thing in financial services. We've seen stablecoins become default payment infrastructure. Tokenized treasuries and money market funds have brought institutions on-chain. Credit is the logical next step, and @ValinorDigital is building the institution that connects traditional private credit with on-chain markets. Proud for @deptvc to be a backer.

Every September, TOKEN2049 draws the global crypto community to Singapore. The official agenda is packed, but often the most important conversations happen in the side rooms and salons, where ideas can be tested, challenged, and sharpened. This year, September 30 will be one of those days. I’m excited to co-host an afternoon and evening of stablecoins for founders, builders, and decision-makers working across the stablecoin ecosystem. Spaces are limited, so request your spot early. And if you’re in town for TOKEN2049, I hope to see you there. Stable Straits: The afternoon begins with Stable Straits. Expect candid panels from industry upstarts and leaders alike, along with plenty of time to connect with peers who are shaping the ecosystem. Hosted by @deptvc, Liminal, @recvcx, and XWeave. RSVP: luma.com/6njgi071 Stablecon Salon: As evening sets in, we move into the @thestablecon Salon, powered by @openfx_. This series is known for intimate, unfiltered conversations, and Singapore will be no different. The theme this time: Stablecoins in SEA —Utility, Banking, and the Next Wave of Adoption. We’ll look at how stablecoins are already reshaping payments and financial access across the region, and what’s next as traditional and decentralized finance continue to collide. RSVP: luma.com/stableconsalonSG

Happy to announce @Lightshift_xyz is co-leading Xweave’s $3M seed round alongside @jungleventures , and the participation of Menyala (by @Temasek ), @WhiteStarCap , @fabric_vc , @DCGco , @deptvc , among several angels. @Milind_Sanghavi is bringing all his experience in payments from Visa, PayPal and Meta to redesign cross-border transfers in Asia and the Middle East. Xweave built an infrastructure that routes a payment in the fastest and cheapest way possible, selecting the best stablecoin, CBDC, or blockchain to process it. The opportunity is particularly large in a market where there are so many currencies and FX represents a large part of the transaction cost (versus a standard USDT or USDC transfer). The solution is fully compliant and has already been working with real-time payments since December 2024. Feel free to reach out if you want to learn more as the team expands to even more markets.

Replying to @SuperstateInc
@superstatefunds is 2 years old and has accomplished more than most companies that have been around for multiple cycles. Comes down to vision, execution and velocity. Proud of what we’ve accomplished but we’re cooking up a whole lot more.
