@iampaulgrewal @coinbase @brian_armstrong @Emilemc Congrats on a great run and thank you for all the work on behalf of the industry.

[Alex Mittendorf @anticrastinator]

AI transactions will soon dwarf human ones across online commerce and markets. Initiatives like the Legal Context Protocol add the missing legal layer - with @Aptos as a founding member.

[American Arbitration Association @ADRorg]

AI agents are transforming the future of commerce, helping people and organizations form agreements, execute services, and move value with greater speed and efficiency. But participants need to trust that transactions are understandable, accountable, and resolvable when disputes arise.

That means there needs to be a reliable way to know what was agreed, which terms applied, who authorized the agent, and what recourse exists.

Introducing the Legal Context Protocol.

This new open standard, introduced by the American Arbitration Association, Integra Ledger, and a coalition of industry leaders, including @Google, @IBM, @circle, @Wayfair, @StellarOrg, @AvaLabs, @UiPath, @Cardano, @hedera, @crossmint, @pinatacloud, @Aptos, @Baselayerhq, @trinsic_id, #FirstPersonCooperative, @Sei_Labs, and @Mysten_Labs, makes legal context discoverable and verifiable in agentic transactions.

[Decibel @DecibelTrade]

Constructive DeFi policy starts with direct engagement.

Our legal and policy team joined @BlockchainAssn, @fund_defi, @Aave, @Uniswap, and others in Washington, DC, for a briefing with congressional staff on DeFi market structure and infrastructure.

As more financial activity moves onchain, clear policy and technical understanding matter.

Decibel is committed to building transparent, verifiable markets that can support the next era of DeFi.

[Alex Mittendorf @anticrastinator]

Markets are moving onchain. Machines will be the primary participants.

@Aptos is the blockchain for markets and machines

No one is ready for what comes next

[avery.apt 🇺🇸 @AveryChing]

It was an honor to moderate an important discussion with two of the influential 🇺🇸 crypto leaders - @SenGillibrand and @GOPMajorityWhip (Rep Tom Emmer).

They openly shared their perspective on how American leadership on blockchain is crucial, serious progress on CLARITY (and the blockers), and the importance of DeFi as a future for American innovation.

I was impressed by their surprising candor and philosophical alignment. Bullish for making America the crypto capital of the world.

[Alex Mittendorf @anticrastinator]

The next phase for decentralized cloud and AI is here.

Developers can be a part of the future now with Shelby Early Access

[Shelby @shelbyserves]

1/ AI needs crypto's infrastructure. Crypto needs AI's scale.

Shelby is built for both. Early Access is open. Apply to build today.

[Decibel @DecibelTrade]

The next great exchange was always going to be onchain.

For over a decade, traders have been forced to choose: the speed of a CEX or the transparency of a DEX. Never both.

Traders deserved better. We built better.

Decibel is LIVE!

Welcome to the new sound of trading 🔊

[Bridge @Stablecoin]

Congrats to the Decibel team! We're excited to support them as they launch USDCBL, their native stablecoin, powered by Bridge's Open Issuance platform.

[avery.apt 🇺🇸 @AveryChing]

Over $17M in pre-deposits in an hour? DLP on @DecibelTrade is loading up!

[Alex Mittendorf @anticrastinator]

@agarwal I was there today too! Great spot

[Aptos @Aptos]

🚨 @Bitnomial announces the launch of the first-ever U.S. Aptos (APTS) futures on Bitnomial Exchange, LLC on Jan. 14

A regulated futures market is a prerequisite for spot crypto ETF approval under the SEC's generic listing standards. Today is one step closer to a U.S. Aptos ETF.

[Stani @StaniKulechov]

Amazing to see the first non-EVM Aave deployment taking off. Higher and higher!

[Decibel @DecibelTrade]

No more scary complexities, your new home to trade is Decibel.

[Aptos @Aptos]

Happy Birthday, Aptos 🌐

3 years in, forever to go.

[Alex Mittendorf @anticrastinator]

The next generation of blockchain. Namespaces on @Aptos announced by @SashaSpiegelman - this tech unlocks a new level of scale achievable on web3 for institutions and high throughput apps

[Alex Mittendorf @anticrastinator]

Years in the making to build the blockchain that scales to billions of users … kicking off the @Aptos Experience conference with @AveryChing keynote

[Alex Mittendorf @anticrastinator]

We at @AptosLabs are proud to sign @fund_defi letter to Congress to support web3 builders.

For America to continue to lead in web 3 innovation, it is critical to have protections for software developers as we lay the foundation for the next era of global finance infrastructure

[DeFi Education Fund @fund_defi]

Today, a coalition of 100+ signatories join DEF in sending a letter to Congress.

Software developer protections are a non-negotiable in digital asset market structure legislation. This critical issue unites us — crypto and tech builders, investors, and advocates.

[Alex Mittendorf @anticrastinator]

Amazing addition to the @AptosLabs legal team. Welcome @lisalefever_

[Lisa LeFever @lisalefever_]

LIFE UPDATE: Moved into a new role as commercial counsel @AptosLabs

Big thanks to @AveryChing @anticrastinator and team for the warm welcome! 🫶

Excited to help scale partnerships, support the ecosystem, & bring the next generation of assets and users on-chain.
