Congrats to the whole @Polymarket team on its latest $9Bn round led by ICE, parent company of the @NYSE.
From the beginning, Polymarket's mission has been to democratize information, building a market where truth is discovered from price and economic incentives, not opinion.
This round represents an inflection point from a niche crypto product to a foundational layer for global information markets, where both institutions and consumers are incentivized to contribute to market-based truth.
Excited to have backed Shayne at the seed and looking forward to continuing to see Polymarket become embedded in everyday life.
We are excited to announce that Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) — the parent company of @NYSE, is making a $2b strategic investment at a $9b post-money valuation.
Together, we’re building the next evolution of markets.
A special thank you to all those who have supported us till now.
This is just the beginning 🦅🔮

Congratulations to New Form portfolio company @Figure on their IPO, reaching a market valuation of $5.3 billion!
By using blockchain technology, Figure has transformed the speed of loan origination, enabling fast underwriting and offering fully digital home equity line of credit (HELOC) loans.
Figure has facilitated more than $16 billion in blockchain-based loans, underscoring the increasing demand for blockchain infrastructure within traditional finance.
Founder & GP Alex Marinier shared comments with @marcvarta from @WSJ on the state of capital deployment and regulation in blockchain.
Bipartisan efforts have led investors and builders to now operate confidently with less gray legal areas that left innovation in state of fear.
We’ve reached $15 million in $BTC and $ETH deposits, meaning we’ve tripled our total deposits since the launch of our public vaults.
It’s clear more people are starting to embrace the idea of smart loans - lower liquidation risk through automation, low LTVs, and idle capital put to work.
Borrow against your long-term bags and access some of the best borrowing rates in the market, all while leveraging established DeFi infrastructure like @Aave, @MorphoLabs, @pendle_fi, and more.
Today, I am incredibly proud to announce that Niural has raised $31 million in its latest round of funding. This investment is a powerful validation of our vision and the incredible work our team has poured into making it a reality.
JUST IN: Institutional-grade interest rate tools are coming to DeFi. @CoinDeskMarkets and @SentoraHQ unveiled benchmark overnight rates based on @Aave pools for $USDC and $USDT to mirror traditional money market tools, @sndr_krisztian reports.

🧵1/ Big news: TestMachine and @coinbase are revolutionizing security in asset onboarding processes.
Together, we're setting a new industry standard for how crypto exchanges vet tokens—fast, accurately, and at massive scale. Here's how 🛡️👇
Less than 48 hours after launch, excited to share that we have hit and surpassed $15M TVL!
Incredible to see infiniFi's growth, and excited that we are finally able to give user higher yields on their stablecoins.
Key takeaways from a recent article written by CEO of @SentoraHQ , Anthony DeMartino:
< Tokenized equity allows investors to post their stocks as collateral, unlocking $120T of liquidity
< Soon, these assets may also trade as perpetual futures
< Tokenization of equities and perpetual futures could redirect $50–100 billion in annual prime brokerage revenue toward decentralized platforms by 2030

TIL @figure added over $600M in loans in April on @provenancefdn, bringing their TVL to nearly $15B. We're working to make those loans available to buy, sell, lend against and borrow on Figure Markets and other L1s like Solana.
@NathanpmYoung@Polymarket I agree. I've noticed many cases where the "media vibe" strongly implies that there's suddenly a high chance that something big will happen, I check polymarket to confirm, on polymarket the probabilities did not move at all, and later it turns out polymarket was right.
