$95B across 20+ chains in 16 months.
No VC money. Bank hours. Middleman taking cut.
Turns out all you need to do to find PMF is build better rails for assets people already trust.
Thank you @_TalkingTokens for having me on!
Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails.
Together, weāre laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
.@googlecloud will be joining as a partner for Zero to explore how to enable AI agents to make micropayments and trade resources instantly without needing a bank account.
Blockchains donāt naturally cross-communicate. @LayerZero_Core is building the bridge. On FYI, @CathieDWood and @wintonARK speak with @PrimordialAA and @Bakxys about interoperability, institutional adoption, and AI agent-led global, permissionless finance.

After getting to know the LayerZero team and what theyāve been building over the past year, I couldnāt think of a better opportunity to join an advisory board for the first time in a long time. Finance is moving on-chain, and I believe LayerZero will be one of the core innovation platforms supporting this multi-decade shift.
Weāre excited to partner with LayerZero ahead of the Zero launch. Disruptive platforms evolve, and as more assets move on-chain, scalable, interoperable infrastructure becomes essential. We believe Zero has the potential to emerge as a leading smart contract platform in the next era of on-chain finance.
When centralized systems failed him, @PrimordialAA built open infrastructure so it couldn't happen again.
Now @LayerZero_Core enables 150+ chains to interoperate without anyone in the middle.
Live Monday on block by block with @DenelleDixon.
Powered by a new tokenization engine built with LayerZero, Ondo can now issue stocks & RWAs from a single contract framework.
Ondo Global Markets is launching with 100 tokenized U.S. stocks & ETFs. 1000s more are coming.
Tokenize Everything.
Well will you look at that -- wonder what all this stuff is built on?
Would be crazy to think about what happens when all of the worlds financial assets start becoming tokenized
š„ Just wrapped a film inspired by @StargateFinance and @LayerZero_Core.
Big love for pushing the omnichain future forward.
The progress made over the past few years is insane.
Thanks to @havds_ and @domdotx for keeping both communities alive!
Holla @0xLamps for being ašchad !
Weāre honored to be chosen by Wyoming as the token issuance partnerĀ for WYST, the first fiat-backed and fully-reserved stablecoin issued by a public entity in the United States.
Thereās no clearer signal of where finance is heading than a U.S. state putting the dollar onchain.
