I would look for truly decentralized DeFi. Open source, immutable, formally verified.
This cycle was defined by centralization as the Overton window shifted to fix the mess made by the past.
Next cycle it will shift again and a premium will go to truly decentralized projects.
🚨JUST IN: @Solana has surpassed @Coinbase and @krakenfx in both daily and weekly spot volume, continuing to compete with tier one centralized exchanges while trailing only Binance and Bybit.
Liquidity on Solana, for the world's largest IPO, is the deepest on Orca.
Orca is proud to be the principal standard for deep liquidity, fueling the future of finance, today.
Introducing the Solana RPC Working Group
Its mission is to advance Solana's open-source RPC stack, making the read layer more accessible for all.
Built in the open by @triton_one, @Helius, @JupiterExchange, @anza_xyz, and @SolanaFndn 🧵
$SPCX is now available on @solana, through @sunrise with liquidity on Orca.
SPCX is a tokenized asset linked to SpaceX shares, issued by @Backpack Securities, brought to Solana through Sunrise. Live as SpaceX trades on Nasdaq, but trading 24/7 on-chain.
Here's what makes it different and how to explore SPCX on Orca🧵
Orca is a proud founding program venue for Frontier Traders.
@SolanaFndn's global community of elite firms and traders.

97% of all tokenized stock trading on Solana, and now Orca has distribution for RWAs through permissioned pools.
Asset issuers, this means:
- distribute regulated assets on Orca
- you can set required permissions on who is eligible to transact with the RWA
- seamless trading of regulated assets
RWAs on Solana, distribution through Orca.
One of the coolest things to happen in the last months and I haven't seen anyone talk about it, and its on Solana
Sure, you don't care about it cause there's no price impact but this is great:
— Orca is launching permissioned LPs for regulated assets
— LP issuer controls access based on their own rules
This makes it so that TradFi can go onchain, create LPs with regulated assets and control who gets to access the LP.
They can launch specific services and offer to their clients. There are a bunch of interesting cases to build on.
For example, a bank could launch an LP with a basket of tokenized stocks.
They whitelist and allow their clients to trade regulated assets during the weekend while everything else is closed.
If you're an entity/regulated company, you can't just go into a DEX and trade, there's a bunch of rules these guys have so this makes it easy for them to access 24/7 markets.
I am excited to see Solana DeFi creating the conditions for institutions to come into the chain
There is more to life than perps.
Proud to serve as a Board Member of @defenddevspac. American crypto builders deserve clear rules, and DDPAC exists to support the Members of Congress who get that. Let's build. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/Sbuf2DjAbk
Compliant secondary rails for tokenized securities are live on Solana.
Orca launched permissioned pools today. Streamex (NASDAQ: STEX) listed GLDY as the first regulated asset.
Reduction of slot duration and leader rotation duration effectively halves chrono-time-based leader monopoly; assuming same number of consecutive slots.
Outside of even 'nefarious leader' behaviour, this has the nice quality of theoretically improving geo-distribution within the same temporal period.
Given 1.6s of time; there used to be only one leader in one location, now, there is at least the chance of the second leader being elsewhere; potentially closer.
I love seeing IBRL as continual goal for Solana; will be massive as apps continue to ship, scale and take on more TVL, assets and activity.
Update: Orca is increasing from 3/6 to 5/9 signers rotating all multi-sig keys that govern our program upgrade authority. We have also added a 24h time lock.
We are also enrolled in STRIDE, a security program for Solana DeFi funded by @SolanaFndn and led by @asymmetric_re.
@SolanaFndn proactively reached out to us about STRIDE, and we're grateful to be building on a chain that's committed and follows through on helping to improve security.
1/3 As we await the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, credit is due to Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins and Commissioner @HesterPeirce for creating an environment where U.S. builders can engage constructively with regulators and operate onshore with greater confidence.
For nearly a year, @orca_so has engaged with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force and Trading & Markets on how securities transactions through AMM infrastructure could fit within U.S. federal securities laws.
In every interaction, the staff asked hard questions, engaged in good faith, and showed a genuine desire to understand how Orca’s AMM infrastructure works. The change in tone under Chairman Atkins’ leadership has been remarkable.
