Thank you @avax for an amazing week. Great people and conversations. Real builders for real businesses. Just the type of room I want to be in.

Fascinating how one of the greatest technology innovation ever gets minimized by the Fed. Such is the financialized world we live in. Stop focusing on noise. Step back. @jvisserlabs is making this moment so understandable to everyone. Don’t be caught offsides.
Imagine AGI arrived, but the only thing people could talk about was inflation, oil, bonds and the Fed. That was this week. While markets obsessed over whether the Fed might hike a shocking 25 bps, 10,000 AI agents worked in parallel on Navier-Stokes, research agents produced 3.1 workdays for every human workday, and compute continued its transformation into scalable intelligence. This is the disconnect I keep coming back to: The linear world is debating the price of money. The exponential world is changing what labor, productivity and economic growth even mean and rates do not matter. This week I cover: AGI and Astra. Why AI capex doesn’t care about the Fed. Why GPU economics are far better than Wall Street feared. How to build your own AI trading desk. Robinhood at the center of AI + crypto + TradFi. And why Ethereum may be having its Amazon-2013 moment and how to value it. The biggest risk isn’t missing the next Fed move. It’s using an old framework to understand a new world.

The percentage of wealth in digital assets will never be smaller than it is today.
Wealth management clients are asking about digital assets. Right now the answer is a referral. That changes Sept. 15. W3 Wealth. Bring your own book.

"Stablecoins can provide programmable dollar settlement across borders and time zones. Tokenization can represent claims, collateral, and ownership in forms that software can read and act upon. Smart contracts can execute conditional rules. Wallets can become native accounts for people and eventually agents. On-chain systems can make audit trails and permissions available in real time rather than after a chain of reconciliations." -- @jvisserlabs This is the nexus of @w3arew3

The future of money runs on digital rails.
Proud to officially join the @Circle Alliance Program. Different verticals call for different stablecoins for different jobs. USDC is one of the most trusted, and it's a first-class option inside W3 workflows. This membership cements our partnership, and we're proud because it's earned. It takes a live solution running in production. More trusted partners. More options for our clients.

The days of humans pushing the button on financial decisions are numbered. Money is about to move itself at machine speeds. @w3arew3
Your financial controls were built for human speed. When AI comes for money, agents don't wait for reviewers, they execute. The old system spread accountability across multiple signers, but with AI accountability is now hyper-concentrated.

Enjoyed talking trade finance with industry pioneers @StowellPorter and Anthony Day and sharing why I believe being the 'aggregator' and 'translator' to diversified, durable, tokenized yield is the WAY to meet accredited investors where they are.
The capital is on-chain. The rails are live. So why is deploying into real products and companies still this hard? @TravisJohn, Head of Institutional at @XDCNetwork, joins @StowellPorter, CEO of @w3arew3, and Anthony Day to break down what actually unlocks institutional capital. Live Wednesday, July 15, 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CEST

The truth is, the entire white collar tech workforce in SF could be laid off and it would barely register on the national unemployment number. Tech jobs are the high paying ones, but absolutely minuscule in total number.

"As AI agents begin to act on behalf of consumers and businesses, money will need to move at machine speed, across borders, in tiny increments, with clear permissions, spending limits, fraud controls, and auditability. That is where stablecoins, digital wallets, real-time settlement, and programmable payments begin to matter." - @jvisserlabs @w3arew3 was built for this.

Talking latest Coinbase news on the @Unchained_pod
The sleeper in Coinbase's big day wasn't tokenized stocks — it was agentic payments. @kain says on Base "they're the only ones who are really even thinking about" how AI agents pay each other onchain. With @StowellPorter, @tayvano_, @LucaNetz on Uneasy Money nitter.net/i/broadcasts/1RJZzzADn…

Real world value happens on @avax
More private credit is coming to Avalanche. Trad.Fi is bringing up to $650M in private credit onto programmable rails, with @w3arew3 powering the capital workflows behind it leveraging @avax. This marks another practical private credit application: US equipment financing across manufacturing, industrial, and residential solar, with core capital workflows moving onto programmable infrastructure. Another example of onchain rails being applied to real financing activity. The private credit, asset-backed finance, and fintech lending ecosystem continues to grow on Avalanche. coindesk.com/business/2026/0…

Trad.Fi is building its competitive advantage in private credit through better, cheaper, and faster rails. When money moves itself when and where its needed, the speed of business increases with less friction. At W3.io, we are beyond excited to support users like Trad.fi break through barriers with autonomous finance. Private Credit is a huge opportunity and its still just the beginning for W3.
A trillion-dollar lending market still runs on paperwork. Here's @CoinDesk on how Trad•Fi and W3 are putting real-economy private credit on programmable rails. Link in comments below ↓
