I don’t want to spend my early 20s watching the market from far away.
I want to be in the U.S. - close to the builders, investors, and energy that shape the future I’m trying to build.
I’m 21.
I’d rather become ready in the room than wait until I feel ready from the outside.
Crypto may be in a bear market.
But if my life were a chart, I’ve never been more bullish.
I've begun to think that FX/currency exchange is actually the killer use case for crypto
Non-jurisdictional by definition
Composable stables are strictly better than siloed dollars/yen/pounds/euros etc. in a 24/5 exchange, especially with more FinTechs integrating

Future of Onchain FX & Carry Markets
1/
A thought experiment:
What happens when JPY stablecoins become widely adopted onchain?
Most people assume USD stablecoins win everything.
I’m not so sure.
Builders did what they do best.
Cooked, built, and shipped winning projects for the Frontier Sidetracks
Here are the ones that stood out from the rest:
Part two of my Solana Frontier Hackathon DeFi track review — here are the remaining top picks that caught my attention:
@ridemarkets - onchain prop firm built on futarchy, trader calls a trade, the crowd bets YES/NO using the fund's own coin as the chip, and the treasury executes the call.
@deriverse_io - fully onchain spot & derivatives Solana liquidity layer
@cleopetrafun - tokenised indices backed by prediction markets
@ordrtrade - fully onchain order book exchange leveraging ACE
@hobba_io - Users deposit collateral, borrow USDC against it, and the yield generated by their collateral automatically pays down the loan in the background
@dawnlabs00 - risk-managed vault combining Kamino Multiply leverage with conditional delta-neutral alpha
@BundieDefi - index of DeFi performance you can trade on
@Axis_pizza - permissionless ETF infrastructure on Solana
@backyard_fi - allows users to build diversified yield strategies with the custom allocation through stablecoin, RWA, and stocks vaults to get better APY
@DefiMarkets - operating system for onchain strategies
@opsonchain - volume-weighted average pricing execution infrastructure built using Jito Bam with application-controlled execution capabilities
@xplaceapp - get personal credit card and spend without selling assets, while having a yield that pays your credit completely
Everyone should hop on Solana’s superior tech before it’s too late — it’s tech season.
$Maxis is competing in the Pumpfun BIP Hackathon, and they’ve built something insane: anyone can now create, issue, and trade ETFs fully on-chain. Mainnet is dropping very soon.
Lately Percolator has been getting a lot of attention, but leverage trading is also coming to these on-chain ETFs.
The dev behind it, @muse_on_sol, is an absolute machine — constantly shipping. He’s followed by @toly and @solana, has been mentioned by them multiple times, and is a Superteam Japan frontier hackathon Side Track winner. This guy is the real deal.
In my opinion, under 500k MC is basically free right now. Go check it out before the rest of the world finds out.
$Maxis could be ethereum:0x320623b8e4ff03373931769a31fc52a4e78b5d70 *100M on @solana
>Recently won Solana Frontier Superteam Japan Side Track #1🥇
>Permissionless ETF Factory: Anyone can instantly create, issue, and trade custom on-chain ETFs (asset baskets)
>The PFDA engine (batch auction) fundamentally mitigates traditional AMM LVR and redistributes the generated MEV/yield. Remember $Prism tech??
>Annoucement today prolly WP ver.2??
>Still closed beta before just right mainnet.
>PumpFun @pumpspotlight BiP Hakcathon Runner
>Some may know, the dev @muse_jp_sol is fully-doxxed and @Axis_pizza@muse_jp_sol followed by solana, toly, ppl at Solana fdn, multicoin partner,etc
As a Japanese, I've been supporting Maxis. FR. "Made in Japan"🇯🇵
We’re publishing the Axis whitepaper.
I hope this helps people understand and resonate with the future Axis is building: a world where every position can become tradeable.
380 people built 2,180 on-chain ETFs on Axis.
We hadn't spent a dollar on incentives.
Today the Whitepaper v2 that formalizes all of it is live.
Axis is permissionless ETF infrastructure on Solana. Your portfolio is your thesis. Axis makes it tradeable.
