6/ The media CEOs who figures this out first wins the next decade.

The ones who stay fragmented will be margin-squeezed out of existence.

[Christian Smith @csmith]

I spent time with 5 major media CEOs in the last two weeks, and this is what I learned:

(THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM)

5/ The pattern repeats every 3-4 years:

1990s: Digital publishing → https://t.co/7pX8QNdapH 2000s: Subscriptions → https://t.co/r5fXg9ZDdH 2010s: Streaming → Maven/Arena (NYSE) 2020s: DeFi + AI → ?

New tech arrives. Platform wins. Publishers consolidate. Market moves.

Draft Kings using this as a $1.7 million marketing opp (conservative). Speaks volumes

🚨 PARLAY PRINCE WINS HUGE💰

The @DKSports customer with the $2,500 four-leg futures parlay just cashed for $1.7 million on the Spurs' Game 7 victory to win the #NBA West Finals.

He skipped the $600K+ cashout and rode it all the way.

Quite a payday. What does DraftKings have to say about it? 👇

RIP to Mr Nathan Allman, and prayers to his family. Godspeed to the Ondo team as well, a great group I have fortunately gotten to know over the past year.

[Ondo Finance @OndoFinance]

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones.

Nate’s brilliance, humility, and drive shaped every part of what Ondo is today. His belief in the power of technology to create a more open, accessible financial system lives on in everything we build. The impact he had on this industry, and on all of us personally, cannot be overstated.

Nate also helped us build a durable organization with experienced leaders across all facets of the business. Ian De Bode, Ondo Finance’s longtime President, will serve as CEO. Ian has been leading our strategy, product, and day-to-day operations for over two years and has the full confidence of the leadership team.

We will continue building what Nate started. That is the most meaningful way we know to honor him.

Now official: The city of Nashville has been awarded Super Bowl LXIV, as the Music City will host in February of 2030. The NFL’s owners have just approved it.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

The NFL owners are expected to vote at this Tuesday’s Spring League Meeting on Nashville hosting Super Bowl LXIV in February of 2030, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo.

This would be the first time hosting for the Music City, a showcase for the #Titans new stadium.

1/ $RTB went live on Nasdaq today.
I’ve been in bitcoin since 2016, professionally since 2020 building the media infrastructure behind the Bitcoin Conference. I joined Roundtable because I’d never seen a team or a platform like this.

RTB Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: RTB). We have been building and refining our media platform for 30 years. The big leap came when we combined assets with Eyal Hertzog’s brilliant DeWeb team, arriving as AI technologies began to extract value from media at an existential level.

As our brand suggests, Roundtable was purpose-built for elite media: we use AI to protect, human-created content, eliminate operational costs, and deliver net-zero payments with immutable, transparent reporting, ensuring publishers secure assets while creating new ones.

[Christian Smith @csmith]

5/ 99% of shareholders voted yes. 85% of shares locked for a year.

The $200B media industry has been waiting on new infrastructure. We just listed the company on NASDAQ that builds it.
