Definitely no standard - most legacy brokers have APIs that are 10-20 years old, even if there are some modern brokers with modern APIs, like Alpaca or Tradier.
There have been several attempts to build an open finance type solution for execution like TradeIt, Realize and Snaptrade (Plaid doesn’t do execution), and we built one at IXily, but ultimately any web2 product fails at some point, because trust is required in a centralized party to maintain the connection, which requires the sharing of credentials/keys/tokens and financial information. Obviously this is not a good thing. Also the brokers are not very supportive and only a handful support oAuth or other modern connection methods.
The web2 API/connection model has been replaced by decentralized tools which can achieve the connection without the need to share sensitive details. See https://t.co/UIthdypp3p
Thank you @Hadronfc from @CynanRhodes and I at @AlphaCaptureXYZ for organising a brilliant Fundraising Bootcamp over this last week and to all the speakers for the wealth of authentic advice and thoughtful insights you shared.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) investment management (whilst in DeFi, the term asset or investment
management can mean the management of assets on one’s own behalf, we are not concerned with that
here; only with the management of assets on behalf of others) risks heading in the same direction. DeFi
alternatives to date are skeuomorphic2, designed almost exclusively on traditional, centralized models.
It is inevitable that such solutions will be regulated in some way, which will lead to a model that very
closely resembles the exact model that DeFi is trying to change.

Peter Thiel on many great startups being run by people suffering from a mild form of Asperger’s and how we should view this as an indictment of our society.

This is pretty cool. And it’s a serious cash commitment although I presume Alpine get a load of coin in the deal. What a unique way to express being part of a community.
This video is 2 years old now, created during the first wave of NFTs but everything still holds and there is a good definition of what an NFT really is at the start https://t.co/sMlCdBIkFU
We were lucky enough to be part of @Hadronfc's first cohort in Dubai. We couldn't recommend it highly enough. There is still time to apply for the NY cohort starting next week. Link in thread below.
✅ 7 days of sitting through panels, indulging in DApp Dosas and experiencing one of the harshest weather conditions the city has seen.
We're bringing it all back (local OGs, open-house sessions, not the rain)

A week long programme with no-filter firesides, founders' outings and a few surprises :)
1/ One of the highest ROI things this Token2049 was participating in @Hadronfc’s first cohort.
@chainyoda, @ashwinho4 and the team did a remarkable job in such a short time to put together:
- Amazing co-working space
- Practical workshops/talks
- Platform for ambitious founders
