In the shadow of the
@vultisig hype filling my timeline, there was the next weekly Space from $CFGI – number 76.
I expect something very special from the connection between
@vultisig and
$CFGI: from my perspective, the benefits of
@vultisig go far beyond a particularly secure wallet: being able to create an agent for automatic trading in it is brilliant. And $CFGI would thus have a channel for MAEVE, which I find much more attractive than the previous CEXES and also
@Hyperliquid.
Hopefully not too far away – but here is the summary of Space#76:
