Currently reading their 2025 annual letter. Great source to see how two serial acquirers in their 30s think and what they've learned over the year(s).
They grew their enterprise value by 8%, from $600m to $650m.
MASSIVE:
🇺🇸 US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:
“We are removing all regulatory obstacles for crypto.”
After years of uncertainty, the US is shifting from:
ENFORCEMENT TO FRAMEWORK
The next wave of adoption is regulated
THORChain setting up a $10M portal for a $10.8M hack is a joke. Why leave an $800k shortfall? That means victims are still taking a forced haircut. Making 12,847 wallets go through manual verification looks like a move to slow down payouts and reduce the total amount they actually have to return.
Funding this by slashing validator bonds and draining protocol liquidity means the network is literally cannibalizing itself to survive an inside job. It fixes the short term PR problem but destroys long term project health. If a protocol fails, it should pay back 100%, not 92% after making users jump through hoops.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Scott Bessent just PUMMELED Gavin Newsom in Davos
"He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros!" 🔥
"I think it's very, very ironic that Newsom — who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ben — may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris!"
BOOM!
Thanks to invitation by @Binance, I spent a week in Davos representing @MantaNetwork at the World Economic Forum. It gave me a unique opportunity to have really in-depth conversations with amazing leaders in industries outside of web3, which gave me a much better perspective on how people outside the space are viewing the broader blockchain market.
I gained two key takeaways from those conversations: 1) some are still trying to figure out what blockchain is, 2) while others have already identified the opportunity for mass adoption.
The widely accepted PMF for mass adoption is around building financial tooling. At the heart of it, finance has always been the core PMF for crypto. Whether it's DEXs, lending protocols, perps, or stablecoins, DeFi products have outshined any other segment of the crypto space.
Big banks see this. When I was on a panel with @FTI_Global, they talked about their tokenized money market fund, which has over $4b in TVL with only a fraction of the overhead costs.
Other success stories like @tether, which has just over 90 employees and generates $16b per year acting essentially as a bank, have peaked the interest of large financial institutions. Wondering what "institutional adoption" looks like? Today, it comes in the form of building a Bitcoin treasury. Tomorrow, it will come in the form of building more financial tooling to rival early incumbents like Franklin Templeton and Tether.
It's a huge, efficient market with regulatory headwinds pushing in the right direction. The future of finance will be blockchain-based. It's a direction that @MantaNetwork is studying very closely as well, with an upcoming incubated project specifically around financial tooling.
I'm looking forward to an amazing 2026.
Fun fact: There was a time I was so poor in my early twenties that I lived in a detached unfinished garage for 3 months sleeping on a pool floaty as my mattress.
Forever grateful of where I am today.
I'm not a buyer yet, but if I were to be a buyer, imo the areas to watch for $BTC are:
~$80K: Nov '25 low, local low of this "bear"
~$74K: April '25 low, Tariff Tantrum low, just below $MSTR's cost basis (~$76K)
~$70K: Top of $50-70K range, near '21 high
~$58K: 200W SMA & on-chain cost basis (RV = ~$56K)
~$50K & below: bottom of the weekly range below, psychological, below this number you would see "death of BTC" calls once again
Importantly, I don't care what happens. If we rally from here, I'll ride what I have and diversify my portfolio, if we fall apart I'll buy more $BTC & select cryptoassets.
The 2026 winter storms moving across the United States this past weekend had some folks seeing something else in the weather map—a Leviathan. https://t.co/Ik5PmGUhac

24 months ago I met @KenAndersonMD He stressed the importance of scalp and hair health and how consistent treatment and work on my end would help my cause. 14 months post surgery I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Doc for today’s PRP and exsosome treatment. I’m keeping up my “daily routine” and like you said… it WORKS!
