Closing the chapter on 2025.
One of the most intense market years we’ve seen, full of volatility, opportunity, lessons, and growth.
This year brought new connections, stronger partnerships, fresh ventures, smarter plays, and new income streams. More importantly, it reinforced who really shows up when the market isn’t easy.
To everyone I’ve worked closely with, founders, teams, community leads, and fellow builders, we’ve been in the trenches together and we’re not done. We’re still building. LFG.
From brutal pullbacks to new highs, from early narratives to full-scale adoption, 2025 kept us sharp. Institutions made their moves, retail learned patience, and the market reminded us that conviction is earned, not given.
As a KOL and professional shiller, I’m proud of the consistency this year, helping projects gain visibility, pushing strong narratives early, amplifying the right plays, and staying active regardless of conditions. Many stepped back. The disciplined stayed locked in.
Execution beats hype. Relentless work beats luck.
2026 already has momentum. Bigger plans, sharper strategy, stronger collaborations, and a lot in the pipeline. Now it’s time to apply pressure and execute.
Wishing everyone a successful, healthy, and profitable 2026, especially those who never stopped showing up.
Chapter closed.

Let’s go get it 🚀
Morning; I've become convinced that founders make better capital decisions when they make them in the company of other founders.
The reasoning is straightforward. Capital structure is among the most consequential set of choices a founder makes, and also among the most isolating.
Decisions about ownership, dilution, instrument design, and liquidity carry forward for years and constrain options in ways that are difficult to reverse.
Bringing founders together directly addresses that gap. When founders at different stages discuss capital openly, several things become available that are otherwise hard to obtain.
I read this as: the real business isn't Hyperliquid the venue. It's all the infrastructure that makes a derivatives brokerage actually work.
Because when a user trades a perp through a wallet or app, someone has to:
→ match the order
→ source liquidity
→ custody collateral
→ handle settlement and risk
The branded frontend is the visible part, and IMO the bigger opportunity lies in controlling the rails, matching engine, liquidity, settlement, cross-margin risk.
Builder codes have already routed $237B+ to Hyperliquid and paid out $75M+ to the platforms running distribution. Phantom alone: $40B in volume, $20M in fees in under a year.
Whoever owns the rails owns where institutional perps flow next.
