The guy who made a billion bucks... just by replying to a tweet.
Meet Ryan Graves.
• He hit up Travis Kalanick on Twitter back in 2010
• Became Uber’s first-ever employee
• Scored 5% equity—that’s now worth $1.4 billion
Crazy, right? Here’s how one tweet changed his life forever:
Great to see progress on powering regulated use cases with USDC on Coinbase. This is the first time we’ll see USDC used as collateral in US futures markets - and we will work closely with the CFTC to make this happen.

Doubling down on Sui security. A thread 🧵
The root cause of the Cetus incident was a bug in a Cetus math library, not a vulnerability in Sui or Move. But the impact on users is the same. We need to take a holistic perspective and step up our game on supporting ecosystem security.
Microsoft’s integration of Space and Time into its Fabric platform provides developers with real-time, verifiable blockchain data from #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, and #Sui networks.
📣 Just announced at #MSBuild: Space and Time indexed blockchain data will be integrated with @Microsoft Fabric.
As part of the integration, Microsoft developers will be able to access Space and Time indexed data from Bitcoin, @SuiNetwork, and @ethereum through Fabric.
sBTC is coming soon on Sui!
Holders of the 1:1 programmable Bitcoin asset can earn yield, lend, and trade their BTC via sBTC, bridging two worlds into one. 🟧
With @Stacks' sBTC, the Sui ecosystem has even more ways to tap into the $2T in BTC liquidity for DeFi — fast, scalable, and no centralized intermediaries.
Excited to share that we have partnered with @Mastercard to launch the OKX Card, making stablecoin spending easier for millions. 💳
Together, we're bringing digital assets into daily life!
