🧵 The Token Unlock Cliff
Vesting was designed to align incentives. In practice, it schedules exits.
The market front-runs every unlock. Insiders prepare months in advance. Retail finds out when the candle prints red.
What happens when Bitcoin can move anywhere?
Join us with @Boltzhq as we discuss the future of Bitcoin interoperability, and unlocking new ways to use BTC across ecosystems.

Interesting... These numbers add more colors to our picture. Look at the countries with most banks and you will understand where the biggest potential for #DeFi adoption is:
In 2000, the United States had 8,315 commercial banks.
By 2016, that number had dropped to 5,112 FDIC-insured banks and savings institutions.
Today, it’s close to 4,200.
That means almost 1,000 banks disappeared in the last 10 years through mergers, acquisitions, closures, and consolidation.
But here’s the real story:
Banks are not disappearing because people stopped using money.
They are disappearing because the way people use money is changing forever.
Bitcoin.
Stablecoins.
Fintech.
DeFi.
Tokenized assets.
Instant global payments.
The old banking system was built for a world where people needed permission, branches, paperwork, and middlemen.
The new financial system is being built for a world where money moves 24/7, across borders, without asking for approval.
The threat to banks is not another bank.
The threat is a generation that no longer believes money needs to live inside a marble building.
The future of finance will not be owned by the biggest banks.
It will be owned by the fastest networks, the strongest communities, and the most trusted decentralized systems.
The shift has already started.
RWA trading on Hyperliquid reached a new ATH of $2.6B in open interest, double the amount from two months ago. Demand for 24/7, onchain access to real world assets continues to grow.
Some interesting stats for the livestreamers...
We're dropping a banger on @Pumpfun in The Watch List tomorrow.
The narratives on Pump, as I see it:
- The Founding Team is a Group of "Rogue 22-Year-Olds Who Got Lucky”
- The Platform is “Extractive or Irresponsible”
- The Founding Team “Is Dumping Tokens”
- The Revenues are "Fake" or "Wash Trading”
- “PUMP is a platform for Money Laundering”
- “The livestream/content layer creates real-world harm”
----
We'll be addressing each of these. All of them are reasonable assumptions.
But the conclusion requires some second-level thinking.

Ryan disagrees with @TrustlessState's analysis behind selling his ETH
“They're all money, or nothing,” @RyanSAdams says about smart contract chains
David pushes back and says, “in order to be Money, Ethereum needs a stronger monopoly in the market"
