I just completed a #DataScience blogpost describing my work at @InsightDataSci: Using Yelp data to predict restaurant closure https://t.co/j6HmQ5cxyD

[Gauntlet @gauntlet_xyz]

We've closed a $125M Series C led by SBI Holdings.

The capital will support building our infrastructure across traditional capital markets, expanding stablecoin coverage, and accelerating new onchain offerings.

As institutions move onchain, we're providing the quantitative guardrails to scale their capital deployment.

1/ @lista_dao has selected @gauntlet_xyz to curate four lending vaults on @BNBCHAIN.

Gauntlet is now the primary curator of the Gauntlet USDT Vault, and co-curator with Lista on the Gauntlet × Lista USD1, BNB, and U vaults.

Market Cap w/ Gauntlet — From Risk Mgmt to Vaults, Gauntlet USD Alpha, Apollo & FalconX RWA Products https://t.co/P88rUO9DWB

Just crossed $1B in vaults without interop, wallet connect, owned incentives, or aggregate strategies.

@gauntlet_xyz USD Alpha is our bet that a team of 75 who have researched and optimized most protocols/chains/$$ in DeFi for 6 yrs will outperform in a permissionless market.

[Yano 🟪 @JasonYanowitz]

Wow, amazing episode.

Apollo has $750 billion AUM. Now they’re moving onchain.

Finally got Apollo partner and head of digital assets Christine Moy on the pod.

If you’re into RWAs, this pod with @cmoyall, @tarunchitra and @carlosdomingo is a must listen.

[Seamless Protocol @SeamlessFi]

Seamless just hit $30M+ USDC deposits in the @MorphoLabs powered Seamless USDC Vault

Your continued support made this possible.

This is just the beginning... 🔮

Want to stop talking about, and start driving adoption?

Let’s bring the next $100b onchain together.

I literally deposited into @gauntlet_xyz USDC Core because it was going up increasingly. I don’t know who wouldn’t do that.

@hasufl The process to ingest new data in web2 can be very cumbersome/varies by provider.

[Michalis Alifierakis @alifier1]

@hasufl A lot. Most of the data we use in crypto are on-chain (read-functions, events and call history). The process to ingest data from new chains or contracts is easy to standardize and data scientists can create new ETLs.

Step 1: Find something that fascinates the f out of you
Step 2: Learn as much about it as anyone in the world
Step 3: Learn even more (blood will be spilled, I assure you)
Step 4: Go back, back home to share what you have learned, to share what you have earned

Incredibly fair article from @intelligencer's @jenwieczner. Captures all the nuances of the debate 👏👏👏

Increased S2F affects both supply and demand in a way that pushes the price higher. Decreased supply leads to increased price, which acts as a catalyst for the release of utility-generating applications. 4/8

[Michalis Alifierakis @alifier1]

For demand, the relation is less straightforward. The increased price leads to increased utility. Innovation that was in the works is now rushed to be released to consumers (See PayPal, Visa and the increased number of BTC ETF candidates) 3/8

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Don’t defy DeFi

[Michalis Alifierakis @alifier1]

@NikosMichailid4 Εδώ είναι μια καλή εξήγηση του γιατί. Περιληπτικά, οι εταιρίες αυτές προσπαθούν να προστατευθούν απ’τον πληθωρισμό. Παραδοσιακά θα το έκαναν αυτό αγοράζοντας ομόλογα δημοσίου ή χρυσό αλλά θεωρούν ότι το bitcoin είναι ανώτερη επένδυση.
