Every zero-to-one in DeFi looks the same. Something that used to require an intermediary stops requiring one. @aave did it for lending by creating money markets onchain. Not a better lender, but the removal of the lender as a requirement. Note Systems is that moment for structured products. A structured note today lives on a bank's book, issued, held and exited only through the issuer. Robinhood Chain supplies the missing piece via tokenized equities (stocks, ETFs) onchain, and Note Systems turns the desk itself into a protocol. The utility lands on both of the chain's core users. Stock holders get downside protection on positions they already hold. Stablecoin holders get a defined yield that's superior to what lending markets can offer, backed by escrowed collateral rather than by a borrower. Real assets, held by real users, made useful. That is what the Robinhood Chain is for, and it's the layer we're building on top of it.

love the new spenda upgrade damn hope they don't f*k it up.

You’re going to spend money this month anyway. So why not use a card that can give you USDT cashback when you use it for eligible purchases? With MEXC Card, what you earn depends on how much you spend and the VVIP tier that applies to you. I wanted to see what that actually means in real numbers. 🧵

Your VVIP tier is tied to your M Score. MEXC says M Score combines factors including trading volume, platform activity and security credit, while other account activity and assets can also influence the score. Standard covers 350–599. Premier covers 600–799. Elite requires 800+. Your actual VVIP tier on the last day of the calendar month determines the cashback rate for that month. ↡

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 There’s a number on your trading screen that can tell you a lot about how healthy a market really is. Most traders barely look at it. It’s the 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱. The simplest way to understand it: 𝗕𝗶𝗱 = the highest price a buyer is willing to pay. 𝗔𝘀𝗸 = the lowest price a seller is willing to accept. 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 = the difference between the bid and ask. A small spread usually means there are plenty of buyers and sellers close to the current price. That generally means better liquidity and less price impact when you place an order. A wide spread tells a different story. There may not be enough orders close to the current price, so even a relatively small trade can have a bigger effect on your execution. Crypto traders have probably experienced this without knowing the name for it. You market buy a low liquidity token and suddenly your average entry is much worse than the price you saw a second ago. That isn’t necessarily the market “moving against you.” Your order interacted with the liquidity available in the order book. That’s why the spread is worth checking 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 you decide how much to trade, not after. And this is bigger than crypto. Stocks, commodities, gold and other markets all have their own mechanics, liquidity conditions and risks. Understanding those mechanics becomes increasingly important as traders get access to more markets. That’s one reason I like what @MEXC is doing with Opportunity Compass. It’s a 5 season, 30 episode market education initiative built around: 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁, 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. The point isn’t simply giving people access to more markets. It’s helping them understand what they’re actually looking at.
