Unlike many investors in crypto, I did not pivot to AI in the last few years. However, since 2020, I built some of the deepest understanding in this industry on the intersection of AI and decentralized networks (crypto, web3).
From the start, it was very clear that AI models are a centralizing force and the biggest target for government control. That point became market fact last night, with @AnthropicAI’s export control compliance.
As an investor in decentralized AI, I know that d-networks are a counterbalance to this state of affairs. In particular, the starting point of sovereign, open, public, decentralized AI is the seemingly insurmountable compute problem.
How are people supposed to source more industrial compute for frontier training than these huge trillion dollar companies? The answer is simple: there is enough commodity GPU compute in the world to compete on the frontier, but to make use of it we need new algorithms for training.
That’s what a few companies like @gensynai@PrimeIntellect@bageldotcom@Pluralis@NousResearch@MacrocosmosAI@covenant_ai set out to research, while everyone on the planet told them it was impossible.
The result is that it is not only possible, but it can be cheaper and nearly as efficient as the alternative process.
The second major problem is economic sustainability. Open source models are great, however, they are not economically viable as they don’t have a business model. So far in decentralized AI, only @Pluralis has an answer — by breaking up the weights of the model among participants, we create a business model for tokenized AI models.
This is the moment of truth — will AI become fully centralized and fall under censorship and unilateral government control? Or will the AI world realize the importance of public AI on open decentralized networks?
You don't have to become part-time strategy manager to put stablecoins to work.

Most people are looking at solana:BPxxfRCXkUVhig4HS1Lh7kZqV6SPJhzfEk4x6fVBjPCy's price.
I'm looking at the pieces being put in place.
Here's what's already on the board:
👉MiCA licence. 27 EU countries
👉Backpack Securities. Real stocks, real ownership
👉Former SEC Acting Chairman on the board
👉Former CFTC Acting Chairman leading US operations
👉CFTC application filed. Decision ~October 2026
👉DTCC tokenization working group. Alongside Goldman, JPMorgan, BlackRock
Now let me tell you what these pieces are actually building toward.
The CFTC decision in October unlocks regulated crypto derivatives for US users. The largest untapped market in the world. Binance can't touch it. OKX can't touch it. @Backpack will be one of the only regulated options.
The SEC piece, now with a former Acting Chairman on the board, unlocks the broker-dealer registration. That's when US users can trade real stocks on Backpack. That's when the stocks platform becomes global.
The DTCC piece is the one most people don't understand. When tokenized Russell 1000 stocks, ETFs and US Treasuries go live in October, Backpack is the exchange already sitting inside that infrastructure. Not applying to join. Already there.
And then there's SpaceX. The biggest IPO in history. Backpack Securities already has the infrastructure to list it. To let anyone in the world access it. On-chain.
Think about what that moment looks like.
This isn't a crypto exchange trying to add stocks.
This is a financial platform built from scratch for a world where the line between TradFi and crypto no longer exists.
The infrastructure is done. The licences are in place. The people are hired.
What comes next is the world noticing.

The new one points at where onchain finance is going – the vault layer underneath institutional earn, in one place.

It's been almost 3 months since the BP TGE, and it feels like a lifetime.
It's been over 3 years since we started the exchange, and it feels like a lifetime.
From the beginning, we've taken a different path from just about every new entrant this cycle. It's been a long path. It's been a hard path. But it's the path we needed to take to build a modern financial institution for the future of money.
With every day that passes, we inch a little bit closer.
It's not just about crypto. It's not just about stocks. It's not just about trading. It's not just about perps. It's about doing the hard things in the real world that few are willing to do to, and for which there is no short cut.
It's only when you do those things can you genuinely merge the crypto economy with the traditional economy--not just in one country, but for the entire world. It's easy to say. It's hard to do.
It takes years, decades, to make any progress. Heck, we moved to Japan over three years ago so that we could get a bank account and legally serve the market. But we are happy to build this business not in one cycle, because we will build it over a lifetime.
As we rollout Backpack Securities, we begin a multi-month release cycle of hitting milestones that have been years in the making, and we couldn't be more excited to share them with the world.
Today, Backpack is your brokerage, your exchange, and your wallet. It's the result of a global team pouring their hearts into the product, through the good, through the bad, and never yielding.
Every day, we push forward. Brick by brick, and I hope you love this brick as much as I do.

Not enough people are talking about physical AI and robotics.
I sat down with @rewkang, one of the best investors of the last decade, to discuss his massive bet on humanoids and robotics.
He breaks down the industry, the addressable market, multiple leading companies, and why he launched a publicly-traded fund ($BOT) focused on investing in the top private robotics companies.
