Popups are the new startups.
We spent the last 2 years traveling around the world hosting popup villages with @solana
Announcing our next chapter. We're going permanent, and we chose the UK π¬π§
Here's why:
The future of DeFi in the UK shouldn't be decided without the people building it.
Today, we submit our response to the FCA's perimeter consultation.
Backed by 20+ founders, all pushing for rules that can give DeFi a home here.
We fight for the progress we need. π¦Ύπ¬π§
I may or may not have tears rn.
This is the most signatures we've had in all the consultation/discussion papers we've ever submitted.
2 years ago, most founders didn't care about policy.
But I told @CapinUK, if anyone is going to make this work, we can do it.
Founders deserve a seat at the tables where their future success is being written and decided.
20+ founders later, all showing they do care, it finally feels like the work is being done well.
we're spending 150k on 15 founders this july.
if you're building:
- a datacenter inside a bunker
- robots in your mums basement
- hardware devices that extend life
- crypto products that help real people
or something truly audacious,
we want to talk to you.
The first official Solana Summit Kazakhstan sent a strong signal for the future of finance in the region, bringing National Bank, @AIFC_KZ , KASE, AIX, regulators, Mastercard, Visa, banks, founders, investors, and global companies into one room.
RWA. Tokenization. Internet Capital Markets.
Real outcomes from the summit:
β’ @airasia MOVE, @Intebix & @solana signed an MOU to explore stablecoin integration opportunities in Kazakhstan
β’ AlmaU signed an MOU to launch a Solana course as part of its official curriculum
β’ Kazakhstan Stock Exchange announced plans around tokenized financial products on Solana

The future isn't waiting. Neither is Kazakhstan.
London is changing its tune about crypto.
Tokenisation and Stablecoins had big regulatory wins this week.
Bank of England cancelled Stablecoin cap, and created a joint vision with FCA on tokenisation.
