You know what's unfortunate about the blanket hostility to crypto and the impulse to force crypto into legacy regulatory frameworks? Regulators are missing an opportunity to explore how this technology could improve how things are done in the traditional financial markets.
For example, think about how blockchain technology allows the public to see reliable information in REAL TIME - like trading data, or the current amount of leverage in a defi lending protocol. You'd think a regulator of capital markets, whose core mission is to ensure investors receive material information about public companies in a timely manner, would recognize that this kind of AUTOMATION, ACCURACY, TRANSPARENCY and TIMELINESS could be a game-changer for investor protection and market integrity. Today, much of the financial data, trading info, etc. that the SEC requires to be publicly disclosed must be collected and self-reported in a highly manual process, part of why companies and insiders are allowed some amount of time to report such information. Think everything from 10Q quarterly and 10K annual reports (must be filed within 45 and 90 days, respectively) to Schedule 13G beneficial ownership disclosures (must be filed in 5 days, down from 10 up until recently).
But delays in getting material information to the public can lead to market inefficiencies and opportunities for market manipulation like insider trading, ultimately disadvantaging investors and harming market integrity. For example, the SEC is currently investigating Elon Musk for his delinquent disclosure of his purchase of a major stake in Twitter last year, which may have allowed him to accumulate shares at what were likely lower prices than what he would've paid had the public gotten wind. And 129 of the SEC’s enforcement actions last year were for late disclosures, representing 17% of all matters.
How could blockchain technology transform the way that investors obtain information about public companies? What if you could determine certain metrics about a public company's financial health at any given moment? Or eliminate the need for company insiders to self-report stock transactions, because the public could see it as it’s happening? Instead of trying to brute-force crypto into legacy market structures and regulations, we should spend more time thinking creatively about how this technology could improve traditional financial markets.
Very excited about today's Sei v2 announcement.
Sei v2 is a parallelized EVM which doesn't require app devs to define specific dependencies. This means EVM developers reuse EVM code but get the advantages of building on an integrated chain vs fragmented L2s.
This case was a 3-0 decision, where two judges appointed by Presidents Obama and Carter were so turned off by the SEC’s arguments that they not only ruled against the SEC, they agreed to join Trump-appointed conservative judge Rao’s opinion.
Our team has been hard at work over the past year building @aerafinance, an onchain solution for autonomous DAO treasury management. Today Aera announces its general availability and an $8M token sale.
Our pricing framework includes per-contract pricing. Lots of additional modifications can be made to accommodate system designer preferences
For details of per-contract fees, check out the paper! https://t.co/XC1iFv4MiI
Fee markets. The most important innovation in Solana (fee markets are downstream of parallelism)
In this talk, @tarunchitra expands on the opportunities to make fee markets even more multi-dimensional than they are today

We love Bitcoin. But the Bitcoin we see today is nothing like it once was. We think Ordinals have a chance to make Bitcoin, once again, a technology ecosystem to take pride in and learn from.
I elaborate on this topic in my latest post: https://t.co/X0nWwpSgGN

New: Movie critics and fans have disagreed about blockbusters more this year than any time this century.
I went through the top 10 movies from every year for the past 22 years, and this is what I found.

This is a must read from @chess_is_ok
He explores the relationship between the yield curve and recessions, multiples and interest rates, and why you might not listen to VCs on twitter.
Grateful to have a partner who does the work 💪
1000%. Without skin in the game, you only ever develop a surface level understanding. Skin in the game makes it visceral and real. I think of it as “learning with your full body.”
Really my fave anecdote about @bchesky (and that it is about design makes it more memorable). Loved that last line "it is my fucking table"!
From the Outliers podcast episode where @DanielScrivner interviews @benblumenrose
I am super excited to support Nocturne Labs in working to bring usable privacy to the Ethereum ecosystem, something I think is required for the next wave of adoption.
1/ We're excited to announce our $6M seed round co-led by @BainCapCrypto & @polychain with participation from @VitalikButerin and other members of the Ethereum community.
This round will fund the deployment and continued development of private accounts on Ethereum.
The involved funds' reactions to the SBF verdict are more revealing of their operational carelessness than any initial investment missteps Better to let sleeping dogs lie
