Leading xStocks

[Tydro @tydrohq]

Tydro now supports 1,000+ xStocks on Ink.

You can swap here using USDC: https://t.co/2sONA6q39v

The stack is incredibly challenging and deep - build it on @PaywardServices and focus on your business instead.

[Payward Services @PaywardServices]

Launching a US derivatives product no longer means you have to build it yourself.

The demand is clear: the 11 largest centralized perpetual exchanges averaged $4.69T in monthly trading volume in early 2026.

Our latest blog maps four ways to bring a US derivatives product to market without building the full stack ↓

One of the best takes I’ve seen yet. Techno Optimism - I’m here for it

[Keone Hon @keoneHD]

I am a technology optimist. I believe:

1. decentralization and censorship-resistance (real versions of these properties, not larps) matter to human freedom in the coming age of AI

2. self-sovereign money, implemented by code and maintained through decentralized consensus, is the final form of money. But it needs to be truly decentralized -- cut out every possible weakness, trust assumption, keeper, etc. Of course there will be connectors to the real world - harden those maximally

3. AI will write most smart contract code. Spec-driven development with Formal Verification will be how new contracts are written rigorously. FV will also be crucial to securing all the infra including the blockchain itself

4. AI will harden our surfaces, with some unfortunate hacks in the process, but ultimately the crypto and financial industries will come out stronger

5. properly-constructed and properly-indexed data lakes will enable agents to build software far more productively

6. governments will move to restrict AI usage in the future, causing true decentralization and CR to matter in dramatic fashion

7. quantum security will be a must for any ledger where people trust their assets. And specifically, blockchains will need to deliver quantum-resistance while retaining programmability and performance. Again, no larping

8. ZK will be an important part of the puzzle too, as it'll be increasingly important to prove off-chain computation and utilize the result on chain. But again, performance and effortlessness for users will be the differentiator

9. pragmatic and composable privacy will be the missing piece for real adoption. People will use apps that stack together stablecoins, DeFi, blockchain settlement, passkey or MPC authentication, and friction-free onramps, but the part that gets fintechs over the line is knowing that user balances will remain private while still being able to tap into shared liquidity

10. blockchain will serve as the global, universal marketplace, for anyone anywhere to get the best opportunities. For that we will need guarantees of fair execution, protection from frontrunning, and a convergence of all of the best assets

At @category_xyz and the @monad Foundation, we are assembling all of these missing pieces in parallel with extreme urgency, and I hope this is clear from our actions. See you in the future

you are not optimistic enough on tokenization

[Val @valgui]

@inkonchain @tydrohq @xStocksFi 🔊I was waiting for the beat to drop

[Val @valgui]

Who’s ready for this.

[ink @inkonchain]

1,000+ xStocks are now native on Ink.

the goal: make Ink the best place on EVM to build with tokenized stocks.

Swap them on @tydroHQ. Build with them on Ink.

Thanks @xStocksFi 🤝.

[Val @valgui]

@KevGCallahan SF is back

[xStocks @xStocksFi]

Tokenization is outpacing traditional stock exchanges.

VIDAx by xStocks did twice the volume on @Solana than it did on traditional stock exchanges over the past 30 days.

More access, more volume, globally.

[Pablo Albrecht @SwissSocrates]

At least this one is not burning #USA

[Val @valgui]

@AirdropOasis @dom_kwok @xStocksFi Replied

[Val @valgui]

@dom_kwok let’s talk about tokenization of your direct listing. I have the largest platform @xStocksFi and global reach.

[Val @valgui]

@nikitabier @danielsinger It’s weird bc we technically have all of the brands you’d expect - but somehow they all seem to be way subpar to their counter parts in other cities. Like all of them.

@andrewkrok Asking the real questions

@ImDenixSol @wotancore The irony of it all

[Charles @wotancore]

Cell phone addiction is an absolute thermonuke to the brain and nobody 'takes it seriously' because it is not clear that there is any solution in a world where the revealed preference of everyone across the globe, regardless of income, race, age, any factor whatsoever, would rather be on their phone than do *anything* else. Deciding "I use this too much" and meaningfully altering one's behaviour doesn't seem to have much success for any of the very small minority of people with the sentience or self-reflection to realize how bad it is. Most people seem to think of it as an unproductive habit at most, rather than an addiction. Any attempt to speak seriously about this is met with derision, accusations of pretentiousness. There is no real solution to it. The future of human cognition fifty years down the line is horrifying if you stop and think about it for even a moment.

[Val @valgui]

@calilyliu Awesome to see the demand to be part of the Solana community.

[xStocks @xStocksFi]

born too soon to explore the stars, born just in time to trade tokenized stocks with flying cars

[Val @valgui]

What a pleasure to continue growing the partnership

[MetaComp @MetaCompHQ]

Our collaboration with @Payward on @xStocksFi continues to gain momentum.

Teams from @AlphaLadderHQ, Alpha Ladder WealthX, @MetaCompHQ and Payward reconnected during #TOKEN2049 week in Singapore.

Together, we remain committed to advancing tokenised capital markets and expanding opportunities for digital finance across APAC.

@abrilzucchi Real talk - met the co-founder of my first company via hacker news. $13m raised (back when that was meaningful 🫠) , 5 years working on the company and he’s still one of my best friends.

Completely changed the trajectory of my life.
