AI agents can now shop better than humans.

Just texted mate to lock down a deal before Black Friday no tabs, no codes to hunt, handles the whole checkout.

[Rory Garton-Smith @law_and_rorder]

Meet Mate! A specialized ecom agent built on a network of 200,000 merchant partnerships.

The agentic consumer era is barely 80 days old: We believe agent-driven commerce will become a trillion dollar market over the next decade.

But there's a fundamental problem with general purpose agents (Grok Bot, Instinct etc): They're built on top of the the commerce ecosystem, not embedded directly into it.

We've spent the last 3 years in stealth building that infrastructure: 200,000 merchant partnerships powering cashback, exclusive discounts, package tracking and personalized savings (as well as the ability to share links and get paid for them!)

The result is Mate. An agent built specifically for commerce, with a merchant network that general purpose agents can't replicate.

The next wave of agents will be specialized and built on the back of deep partnership moats.

Super proud of our team and all the merchants who joined our network to build this! Enjoy!

Trying to run a national market with 50 different sets of local rules makes zero sense.

One standard lowers costs and lets new companies compete fairly.

[TreasuryBonds.com @TreasuryBonds1]

If people across the country trade the same contract on the same exchange, regulators should be able to see the whole market.

A single federal rulebook gives the CFTC a clearer view of trading activity across state lines and gives exchanges a consistent standard to follow.

Why is that important?

So regulators can detect manipulation, enforce disclosure rules, and allow new exchanges to compete.

That is why the CFTC has sued Utah over who has authority to regulate these markets.

For traders, that means the same protections wherever they trade. For new exchanges, it lowers the cost of competing nationwide.

The legacy financial system is finally catching up to how the modern world works.

[TreasuryBonds.com @TreasuryBonds1]

Single-stock perps let you go long or short a stock like McDonald’s without owning shares. The contracts never expire, and periodic payments between buyers and sellers help keep them tracking the stock.

That gives traders a new way to hedge or speculate, including after the stock market closes...

But it also puts Kalshi in direct competition with the exchanges and market makers that handle those trades today.

This means Kalshi is the new challenger to the Wall Street status quo.
