TradFi has the capital. Web3 has the infrastructure. The market needs operators who understand both.

Operating across Asia and the Middle East, we are building a full-stack alternative asset platform. Fund I was the first step.

BlockBooster's first portfolio investment will be announced in the coming weeks.

BlockBooster has launched its USD 50M Digital Venture Fund I, marking our formal entry as a full-stack alternative asset manager.

The fund targets growth-stage opportunities across four verticals: AI infrastructure, on-chain trading, on-chain asset management, and RWA tokenization.

True incubation is the most active form of asset management. We operate a dual-engine model: we co-build the rails and manage the assets that run on them.

BB Space EP1 drops May 28 at 12:30 PM UTC.

In this episode, we sit down with @0xSamuelG, Founder & CEO of BlockBooster, to unpack why the market is shifting and why Build + Manage is our answer to it.

TradFi holds the capital. Blockchain provides the infrastructure. What sits between them? What BlockBooster is building?

Circle raised $222M at a $3B valuation for ARC, a Layer-1 built for regulated institutions. The round was backed by BlackRock, Apollo, ICE, Standard Chartered, Janus Henderson, SBI Group, ARK Invest, and a16z.

The architecture is purpose-built around two barriers that have kept institutions off public blockchains: auditability requirements and counterparty whitelisting. Configurable privacy, permissioned validators, and compliance-focused transaction design are the direct responses.

Gas fees are paid in $USDC. There is no treasury friction and no exposure to volatile tokens. Those fees flow back through validator rewards and burns, keeping institutions comfortable while value accrues to ARC holders.

But here’s the part most people miss: Circle holds 25% of the initial supply and operates core validator infrastructure. The issuer, validator, and primary token beneficiary are all the same entity. This structure represents a company-led financial infrastructure layer, not a community-driven token network.

100+ institutions are already on Arc testnet, working through tokenized fund issuance, onchain settlement, and capital markets workflows.

The real differentiation is not speed or throughput. It is the combination of institutional RWA infrastructure, onchain FX settlement, and multi-stablecoin liquidity on a rail that incumbents can adopt without triggering their own compliance frameworks.

Three signals worth watching:

→ When does mainnet beta launch?
→ Which institution migrates production workflows first?
→ Does meaningful inter-institution USDC settlement volume emerge on ARC?

If Circle converts USDC distribution into ownership of regulated transaction rails, it will be significantly more difficult for competitors to launch another institutional blockchain.

Aave, Hyperliquid, and Raydium have all moved to implement token buyback mechanisms. The market has largely received this as a bullish signal.

It warrants closer scrutiny.

A buyback program and genuine net deflation are not the same thing. Three criteria determine whether a buyback is structurally meaningful:

→ Is it funded by organic protocol revenue or drawn from treasury reserves?
→ Are repurchased tokens permanently removed from circulation, or redistributed?
→ Does the program remain viable if fee revenue declines significantly?

Thanks to @ForesightNews for the feature.

Our researcher @BlazingKevin_ shared some sharp takes on DeFi security. Here’s the short version:

→ Security incidents are the best filter for real protocols vs narrative bubbles. If TVL holds steady during panic, that’s a protocol worth watching long-term.
→ Cross-chain is infrastructure, just not safe infrastructure yet. Every bridge concentrates both capital and trust assumptions. One weak link means total loss.
→ Restaking is conditional leverage, not yield enhancement. Slashing cascades, liquidity illusions, and opaque yield sources are the three risks most people miss.
→ On AI × DeFi: AI is expanding the attack surface faster than it’s securing it.

🤨链上安全频发，我们对黑客真的束手无策吗？

近期 DeFi 行业暴雷事件密集上演，Kelp DAO、Drift 等项目接连遭遇巨额盗币，安全防线频频失守，不仅导致市场信心大幅受挫，也让行业再次陷入对风险与价值的深度思考。

本期「创作者说」聚焦「DeFi 安全」，我们邀请到了 2026 年 4 月 Foresight News 优秀创作者榜单中的 Web3 小律 @Will_7th 、 @BiteyeCN 研究员 Changan 、 @0xBlockBooster 研究员 Kevin、 @Grvt_zh 深研学院、 @0xUClub 的 Oscar、 @Biya_News 、 @JeanW0708 、富贵 以及 币贝研究院 @Bitbase_cn 加入到本期讨论中。

我们抛出以下 5 个问题，看看老师们都给出了哪些精彩见解：

1⃣「盗币是否改变仓位心态」
2⃣「跨链是否被过度炒作」
3⃣「LSDFi 是收益还是风险」
4⃣「散户还可以挖 DeFi 矿吗」
5⃣「AI DeFi 安全利弊如何」

My prediction: DeFi protocols will soon compete on risk reserves and capital adequacy metrics, just as CEXs compete on proof of reserves.

Protocols that go beyond that standard will attract institutional capital. The ones that don't will get repriced.

@circle The CLI is the detail most people will skip past. Repeatable financial actions executed programmatically enable the agent to actively manage funds rather than just hold them.

[BlockBooster @0xBlockBooster]

@jerallaire The impact of $USDC and its team is truly undeniable.

[BlockBooster @0xBlockBooster]

@circle @jerallaire The infrastructure for the next internet stack is being laid right now.

[BlockBooster @0xBlockBooster]

@arc Based on the whitepaper, we can definitely say that Circle built the most widely used stablecoin on other people's infrastructure, and Arc is a solid attempt to own the layer beneath it
