Funding frontier longevity biotech the world to stablecoins - CEO @rhinofi

[Will Harborne 🜁 @will_harborne]

Looking for recommendations for dev shops with deep EVM smart-contract expertise, particularly teams that have built and audited yield strategies, vaults, and related DeFi infrastructure.

Who’s cooking?

@ImmutableLawyer @rhinofi Upon IPO, holders may elect redemption in Pastizzi at equivalent market value rather than equity.

Welcome to the Rhino fold 🫡, LFG

[Rhino.fi @rhinofi]

Over $15bn settled for enterprises and we are just getting started. Instant, scalable, stablecoin movements. Monthly volume at an all time high.

The ceiling now is liquidity, not demand.

So we're opening our first USDT credit market on @WildcatFi, deployed on @Plasma, paying 10%.

Delta neutral. Backing stablecoin throughput and revenue.

Opening at $2m. Scaling from there.

Everyone will be watching the OUSD launch.

The bigger story: OUSD could write a new playbook for how to win in stablecoins, distributing revenue directly to the businesses that drive adoption. And that playbook will drive further fragmentation, with more stablecoins following.

As a business users won’t transact in just one stablecoin, they’ll use many. You can’t pick the winner. But you can accept all of them.

Rhino will support OUSD from day one, on every chain, with 1:1 conversion to and from USDC and USDT.

Send anything. Receive only what you want.

Cross-chain was wave one. Cross-stablecoin is next. 🦏

Before Plasma, I started BiLira, the Turkish Lira stablecoin.

Turkey shaped my view of stablecoins. When inflation, capital controls, and unreliable financial rails are part of daily life, the need for global, self custodial dollar access is obvious.

But stablecoins still had a product problem. The infrastructure was improving quickly but the product experience was not.

I joined @Plasma to work on that problem.

For the last 9 months, we have been building Plasma One across every layer that has to work: cards, payments, partners, compliance, reliability, support, wallets, bridges, tokens, gas and all the details users never see but always feel.

Today, Plasma One is live.

For us, launch is only the start. We have a long way to go to get to where we want to be, but I am more excited than ever to bring this product beyond crypto and into the real world.

[zerolore @zerolore]

Plasma 1 is my daily crypto card now.

The UX is genuinely the best I have used. It completely changed how I spend my USDT.

Huge congrats to the @Plasma team for bringing this into the market. Mad respect.

Powered by @USDT0_to.

[Plasma @Plasma]

Plasma One is live now.

Join in the next 7 days and get the Core tier free for your first year. Over $1,000 in value, reserved for early users.

[Rhino.fi @rhinofi]

Stablecoins are about to reach mainstream consumers, and it won't be on an exchange. It'll be inside the apps people already use daily.

@unifi_x the stablecoin wallet from LINE NEXT (the Web3 venture of LY Corporation), is powering cross-chain deposits with @rhinofi

[Will Harborne 🜁 @will_harborne]

The @Plasma One team are absolutely crushing it

3% cashback, slickest UX in the space

Glad to be helping power their onboarding flows

"I think what tech people misunderstand is just the size of the TAM in pharma."

@zebulgar says capital will rotate into pharma after AGI:

"Anthropic is at what, a $60B run rate? Keytruda, the drug that Merck did in 2019, that one drug's topline is $25B in revenue. Just that one drug."

"By the way, once there's AGI, what do you think everybody's going to be focused on afterwards? Everybody's just going to want to live forever. Where do you think the capital is going to rotate into? It's going to rotate into longevity, therapeutics, and manufacturing."

@Privily_fi This is cool - with a few tweaks we could use this for payroll

Good move @arbitrum!
My stance remains: it’s fine (and desirable) to build systems with no centralized power - but if you have centralized power you should use it in clear cases of right and wrong. It’s not a virtue to be “neutral“ towards DPRK.

@zerolore The heroes we need.

Too many rollup teams out there who would have pretended they couldn't do this even though they have the same powers.

[Jon Venice @JonShapeShift]

One of our biggest goals with creating $DIEM was to allow a tokenized compute market to emerge from the compute allocations $VVV stakers were getting.

We went through a number of possibilities before settling on $DIEM as the best way to do this.

$DIEM is tokenized inference.

[0xSammy @0xSammy]

Secondary markets for compute will be enormous

Enterprises already do this with GPU infrastructure:

i) buy capacity in bulk at contracted rates
ii) use what you need
iii) resell surplus at a margin

AWS even has a secondary marketplace for unused reserved instances; token-gated inference networks create the same imbalance

a) Supply side:

Large holders get allocations they don't burn through

b) Demand side:

Teams building fine-tuned models, RAG pipelines (models that retrieve and reference external data to improve their outputs), and adapter layers on top of base inference all need cheap compute to run enhanced outputs for specific verticals

One side has surplus which feeds the insatiable appetite for affordable inference

As more networks allocate compute through token ownership this pattern will repeat

The @AskVenice DIEM token is pioneering opportunities to optimize compute usage using token models

Hats off to @ErikVoorhees and the VVV team for enabling this

You are seeing entirely new intelligence markets emerge
