I hosted a fantastic podcast with one of the best CEOs in the space, @_pgauthier from @Ledger.
The future of crypto is digital private property and Ledger is leading the charge.
In our discussion, we dive deep into Ledger Live functionality and how Ledger wallets have evolved beyond traditional cold storage.

Keep an eye out for more 50Talks! Coming in the near-future!
doodles is doing it again.
we’ve built something that feels impossible.. something only we could make.
this time, the factory doors are open to everyone.
Crypto adoption is a pendulum.
In the early innings, the tech was proven by early retail adopters. There was immense value creation: DeFi summer, NFT boom, memecoin frenzy...and immense value destruction.
The pendulum is beginning to swing. The user base is shifting.
Go to any crypto conference and what do you see? Fidelity. J.P. Morgan. Visa. The biggest financial firms in the world - all incredibly excited about the prospects of crypto tech and blissfully ignorant to the retail pain of this cycle.
We are in the midst of a swing to institutional adoption & back-end integration. It legitimizes the asset class, albeit at the expense of the massive value creation that early adopters experienced.
But this trade is known. Where do we go next?
The pendulum will swing back. Back to the consumer- but in a new paradigm: consumer apps built on decentralized rails with full abstraction.
Neobanks built only on stables. Gig workers getting jobs & pay without needing a centralized counterparty. Online shopping. Ride sharing. Search. Marketplaces...
Money touches every consumer application. And decentralized money is inevitable.
Was a pleasure hosting @ysiu for our latest episode of 50Talks!
In our discussion, which ranged from building a suite of AI agents with @AnimocaMinds to how NUVA is the future of RWA marketplaces, one thing became clear....
@50TFunds portfolio company, @animocabrands, now sits at the critical intersection of AI, RWAs, and stablecoins.
Reimagining future economies.

~98% of stablecoin supply is USD-based. Today marks a momentous step to building out international, digital finance.
Congrats to @50TFunds portco @animocabrands and @ysiu !
We’re excited to share that Anchorpoint, a joint venture established by @StanChart (Hong Kong), HKT, and us at @animocabrands, today was one of two being granted a stablecoin issuer licence by the @hkmagovhk, under the Stablecoins Ordinance that came into effect 1 August 2025.
Anchorpoint targets to issue the regulated Hong Kong Dollar-backed stablecoins – HKDAP (i.e. HKD At Par) with a phased approach from the second quarter of this year.
Our group president @EvanAuyang, commented on Anchorpoint receiving the license: "Receiving this license is a landmark moment not only for our joint venture Anchorpoint but also for Hong Kong's ambition to lead the world in regulated digital finance. From the outset, our conviction was clear: a properly governed HKD-backed stablecoin is essential to Hong Kong’s financial infrastructure. Animoca Brands is honored to have collaborated on the strategic efforts that transitioned this concept from a foundational goal into a functional reality."

@ad1_onchain Literally a whole new financial system. And the entire space right now is what? $4T? Total global assets are $1,000T?
Greatest trade of our generation here
every time art and technology collide, it gets uncomfortable. photography, cgi, nfts. now it’s ai. inevitably, the people who lean in early, long before it’s fully accepted, are the ones who end up shaping what comes next.
doodles was born out of this exact contention. we aim to do it again.
when we decided to build Doodles AI, we built it as a first-party tool. trained exclusively on ip we own, on a visual language i’ve spent my entire career formulating. the goal was speed, but even more so, relevance. the ability to participate in culture in real time. because that’s what true internet-native brands should all be striving for. we’ve been running it internally for a while now, and the impact is tangible: more viral posts, more growth, more attention. but it was too powerful, too satisfying, and too fun to not share it widely.
a strong ip doesn’t weaken when you open it up. it gets rediscovered from angles you couldn’t have planned for, by people you never would’ve reached.
creativity has always had gatekeepers. skill. time. access. often, it’s a game of privilege. plenty of people have taste and vision but just don’t have the tools to match it. i’m proud to contribute my life’s work to this new era of co-authorship, with a singular style as the galvanizer.
the best way to predict the future is to invent today.
Congrats to the @zenrock team on launching Hush - a yield-generating, privacy layer built on Solana.
@Hushprotocol_ is giving onchain privacy true utility.
