Launching in the depths of a bear market takes conviction. Katana did it anyway.
It is building an everything platform combining spot trading, lending, perps, a yield-bearing bridge, and a T-bill-backed stablecoin.
Now it is already generating more revenue than venture-backed L2s that raised billions.
We are very excited about GSR’s acquisition of Autonomous and Architech. To me, it reflects where crypto is going: toward a more mature capital markets model with greater integration, specialization, and institutional depth.
Today we’re announcing the $57M acquisitions of Autonomous and Architech.
Advisory, liquidity, and capital markets infrastructure are disconnected services that operate in silos. Through our acquisition of Autonomous and Architech, we're changing that.

Sentiment on CT is looking pretty dire lately. Seeing angry posts and people losing conviction or getting bored. Might be a classic ‘be greedy when others are fearful’ moment. Seems like a good time to pay attention and build, if past bear markets are anything to go by
Richard Feynman is one of the most praised physicists of the last century, not just for his achievements, but for his ability to make complicated topics feel elegantly simple.
I believe as we rethink user interactions in a world defined by data and gamified feedback loops, that same responsibility applies. Simplify the system, and deepen the engagement.
Thoughts below:
Why is crypto so fearful?
Tom Lee (@fundstrat) joins @fintechfrank on The Crypto Tape to break down why crypto markets feel worse than fundamentals suggest, what the Federal Reserve is doing to risk assets, and why most people are wrong about Ethereum's Layer-2 strategy.
When we first met @kaledora & @contrarianmarco of @ostium, we knew they were building something different. Early traction proved it: ~$50M in volume in their first month, but what stood out even more was their obsession with rethinking RWAs trading through perps, not legacy CFDs, and spending months speaking directly with traders.
Fast forward a year: $28bn+ cumulative volume, $12m+ in fees, and RWA perps now one of the most talked-about categories in the market.
Huge congrats to the @ostium team. Proud to keep backing you.
Had a great time sitting down with @thinkingcrypto to talk about the future of crypto, market structure, and what we’re building at GSR. Grateful for the invite and the timely discussion.
We were delighted to be invited to the @dbsbank Transformation Festival to discuss digital assets and the future of banking.
Thank you to DBS for the opportunity — and to CJ Fong for representing @GSR_io so well.
