@AlpacaHQ so cool! can't wait to try this out!

[Alpaca @AlpacaHQ]

Today, Alpaca was announced as a member of the DTCC Industry Working Group, a collection of firms advancing the adoption of digital assets and tokenized services.

Last year we launched Alpaca’s Instant Tokenization Network, and by the end of 2025, we grew our position as the leading infrastructure layer supporting tokenized stocks and ETFs to 94% market share.

Today, Alpaca partners with notable companies building tokenized US equities offerings, including Anchored, Dinari, Ondo Finance, and xStocks (Kraken).

With Alpaca’s real-world experience in providing infrastructure for the tokenization of US stocks, we are uniquely positioned to help the DTCC in modernizing the US capital markets.

We’re excited to be collaborating with the DTCC and the entire Industry Working Group to develop best practices and advance industry readiness.

We’ve launched a fully configurable fee model for crypto trading, giving partners more control over how they structure and disclose fees.

With this launch, partners can:
✅ Configure commissions by venue, volume tier, and types of digital assets
✅ Customize fee structures with flexible pricing models, incorporating fees in either commissions or spreads
✅ Enable automatic tiering where fees adjust based on 30-day rolling volume with historical tier preservation for compliance and auditability
✅ Share revenue on trading fees, deposits, and withdrawals
✅ Structure two or three-way revenue-sharing models

Let us handle the technical weight and complexity so that you can focus on building frameworks that scale with your business.

It may be obvious in hindsight that we actually built crypto for the machines

[The Life of a Swiftie @LalalalAala2212]

Do you evet just listen to TTPD and think 'what the fuck'

Because who writes THIS on one album

- "You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues? I died on the altar waiting for the proof"

- "I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all"
"Once I fix me, he's gonna miss me"

- "He saw forever so he smashed it up"

- "If you want to break my cold, cold heart just say, "I loved you the way that you were"

- "I'll never leave, never mind / Our field of dreams, engulfed in fire / Your arson's match your somber eyes

- "And I'll still see it until I die / You're the loss of my life"

- "At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger
/ And put it on the one people put wedding rings on
/And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding

- "And I'll tell you that he runs / Because he loves me (He loves me)

- "I felt more when we played pretend / Than with all the Kens / 'Cause he took me out of my box / Stole my tortured heart / Left all these broken parts / Told me I'm better off / But I'm not

- "Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake here / At the park where we used to sit on children's swings / Wearing imaginary rings"

- "Little did you know your home's really only / The town you'll get arrested / So you pack your life away just to wait out / The shitstorm back in Texas

- "I need to forget, so take me to Florida / I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida"

- "Love left me like this and I don't want to exist/ So take me to Florida

- “How much sad did you think I had in me”

- "I changed into goddesses, villains and fools / Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules / All to outrun my desertion of you / And you just watched it"

- "I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope / A greater woman wouldn't beg / But I looked to the sky and said / please"

- "But even statues crumble if they're made to wait"

- “I look in peoples windows like I’m done deranged weirdo I attend Christmas parties from outside”

- “Don’t want money just want someone who wants my company let it once be me”

- “I’m so afraid I sealed my fate no sign of soulmates I’m just a paperweight”

- “I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all, dancing phantoms on the terrace, are they second hand embarassed that I can’t get out of bed cause something counterfeit is dead”

- "I would have died for your sins, instead I just died inside. / You deserve prison but you won't get time."

- "Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed? / Were you writing a book? / Were you a sleeper cell spy? / In fifty years will all this be declassified?"

- "My beloved ghost and me, sitting in a tree, D-Y-I-N-G"

- "Now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes / And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons / Even if I die screaming / And I hope you hear it".

- “If long suffering propriety is what they want from me, they don’t know how you’ve haunted me so stunningly, I choose you and me, religiously”

- “I’ll build you a fort on some planet / Where they can all understand it / How dare you think it’s romantic / Leaving me safe and stranded

- “Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried / To hold on to the days when you were mine / But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light"

- “And in plain sight you hid / But you are what you did / And I’ll forget you, but I’ll never forgive / The smallest man who ever lived”

And the thing is this isnt even the half of it.

New York City’s first free grocery store.

Built by New Yorkers. For New Yorkers.

[erikazee @erikazee]

My time at Polygon came to an end today - hell of a ride. Super proud of the events we built, the great relationships I made with partners, and the dev community we grew. Learned so much from top-tier colleagues along the way. Starting my unemployment era at the sportsbook 😅 DM me if you’re hiring!

[erikazee @erikazee]

@BigNillCollect Keep at it @BigNillCollect! Best of luck at your next endeavor!

[erikazee @erikazee]

@0xMarcB It was a pleasure working at Polygon and thanks for the opportunity @sandeepnailwal @leonstern @0xMarcB. Still rooting for POL 💜

[erikazee @erikazee]

@0xthegipper Whoever your next co is will be lucky to have you!

[erikazee @erikazee]

This is the stuff that matters.
Polygon + Coinme + Sequence + real U.S. access. 50,000 fiat-to-crypto locations. Simple, real, usable.

[Polygon | POL @0xPolygon]

BREAKING: Polygon to become U.S. regulated payments platform

We’re acquiring Coinme and Sequence to move all money onchain.
→ Regulated money movement in 48 states
→ Fiat on/off ramps
→ 50,000 fiat-to-crypto locations in the U.S.
→ Easy onboarding with wallet infra
→ 1-click crypto transactions across chains

All vertically integrated in the Polygon Open Money Stack.

[Agglayer @Agglayer]

The Open Money Stack will define what the next 30 years of global money movement looks like.

All money will be onchain. Imagine value transfer, yield, and financial services, vertically integrated across a single payments stack.

The world will never experience money the same way again. And Agglayer will be a part of that story.

[erikazee @erikazee]

@0xMarcB money will move and remain onchain 🔑
