Our co-founder @SamPatel8085 on stage @EBlockchainCon discussing Permissioned vs Permissionless rails.
Permissionless defi infra as it is built isn't going to be compatible with institutional needs around compliance and KYC. That said both will survive for different cases.

A billion needs to equal a billion
"A dollar equals a dollar" is the industry's biggest unexamined assumption.
There are 70+ digital dollars.
Each is a claim on a different treasury, with its own issuer and redemption flow.
You don't need a dollar to equal a dollar.
You need a billion to equal a billion.

When our oldest was 2 years old I remember coming downstairs on a Saturday and seeing her with her diaper off.
She looks me straight in the eyes and--no words--just pees on the floor.
Full eye contact alpha dog move.
Knew then that I was no longer the boss of our household.

Spent >50% of my time last week announcing Zero Delta's fundraise and it was worth every minute.
We now have 40+ inbounds from institutions moving money onchain.
Here's what it took:
- storytelling strategy
- coordinating PR
- getting an exclusive with a journalist
- passing it through legal
- pinging my personal network for distribution
But we now have a massive amount of pipeline from institutions moving funds onchain at scale:
- Head of BD at a major payments company
- Head of Institutional Sales at a major card company
- Director of Sales at a trade execution platform
- and 40+ more!
Content and storytelling is incredibly challenging to prioritize as a founder.
I avoided it like the plague for years. Can't argue with the results though.
If you're a founder, invest in building your own distribution.

My cousin almost turned World of Warcraft into a tech job.
During the day he is a nurse, and at night he was one of top 10 WoW guild leaders.
Ended up getting approached by tech recruiters.
If you can manage 500 people online, you can manage 500 people in real life.

Let's have a funeral for crypto culture. We are institutionalizing.
RIP to gm, wagmi, hfsp, dyor, NFTs, KOLs who dump on you.
Crypto is dead. Long live crypto.

everyone dunking on MoneyGram’s stablecoin is telling on themselves.
60M customers. 500k locations. 200+ countries.
they don’t need MGUSD liquid onchain. they need to keep the yield on the float and spend it on rewards/loyalty.
the coin was never the point. distribution was.
60 million active customers.
Nearly 500,000 retail locations.
200+ countries and territories.
5 billion digital endpoints.
Now: an active validator on @Solana, one of
the world's highest-performing blockchains.
The network keeps getting bigger.
The commitment keeps going deeper.

If you played StarCraft as a kid, you have a huge advantage right now.
Using AI is a management game:
Managing resources & production (tokens)
Managing concurrent units (agents)
Knowing the races (models)
The first solo billion-dollar company is going to be built by a gamer.

We have played this game before. Time is a circle.
Now with agents, risk surface area is going to be a LOT larger for protocols. Plan for exploits.
New chains, new ecosystems, and more tokens demand better infrastructure. That’s why we’re excited to be part of @lifiprotocol next chapter with Catalyst and Glacis.
Catalyst will push aggregation to a new level with intent-based protocols, while Glacis makes it possible to support every major interop token standard, starting first with OFT, NTT, and CCT. Warp Tokens, ITS, SupERC20, and more will have support added right after launch.
This means better pricing, zero slippage, and a frictionless user experience across any chain, in any size.

We are currently in ICO 2.0 era and DeFi 2.0 will be right behind it. First we tokenize everything, then we have to have fun activities for them to participate in.
This time its institutional.
Tokenisation solved issuance. Distribution is next, across a $400T+ asset market.
In our new research with @Securitize we map how tokenised assets scale from $27B to trillions, ft. @rwa_xyz @centrifuge @EulerFinance @maplefinance @MidasRWA
