[Janus @JanusFreight]

We had a great time at Intermodal São Paulo last week! We connected with freight forwarders, port operators, and industry leaders. The conversations reinforced something important: relationships are at the core of how this industry moves.

[Janus @JanusFreight]

We're hiring across three roles at Janus:

→ Design Lead (UI/UX)
→ Senior DevOps Engineer (Infra)
→ Working Student (Data + AI)

We're building AI-powered financial infrastructure for global freight. All details + how to apply: https://t.co/q0P83Iwsu7

Trade finance powers roughly 80% of global trade.

The appliances in your home, your phone, your clothes, your accessories — almost all of them crossed borders before reaching you. When you see “Made in China,” “Made in the USA,” “Made in Turkey,” you’re seeing the final label, not the journey.

Trade finance is the “Buy Now, Deliver Later” system for the global economy.

It lets a factory get paid before goods arrive, and a buyer pays only when they do.

At its core, trade finance still depends on manual paperwork: invoices, bills of lading, letters of credit, stamps, signatures, and intermediaries validating each step.

⚫️ One shipment can involve 20–30 documents.
⚫️ Documents move across banks, customs, insurers, and freight forwarders
⚫️ A single error can delay payment for weeks or months

After the 2008 financial crisis, banks became extremely risk-averse.

⚫️ Smaller businesses were labeled “too risky.”
⚫️ Cross-border trade in emerging markets was deprioritized
⚫️ Compliance costs (KYC, AML, sanctions) skyrocketed

Result? Banks now prefer large, repeat clients and ignore the long tail of global trade.

Traditional trade finance ties up capital for long periods:

⚫️ Payments settle slowly
⚫️ Funds are locked until goods arrive, and paperwork clears
⚫️ Liquidity can’t move freely between markets or participants

Now you know why I am bullish on @JanusFreight.

Watch the video.

In the second tweet, I added a link to an article I wrote on how Janus Freight is tokenizing global trade. Or you could just type in "Janus Freight" or "What is Janus Freight" in your Google search bar, and my article is sitting there on the second column on the first page.

So now investors, researchers, and customers can easily search up and learn what Janus is building, why they need to get involved, and how they can get involved.

[Ethereum @ethereum]

Today @jpmorgan, the world's largest bank by market cap per @WSJ, announced they're launching their first ever tokenized money market fund—MONY—on Ethereum.

The firm is seeding the fund with $100M of its own capital before opening to outside investors on Tuesday.

@ashwinho4 @SuperteamDE Looking good

[Newton D. @launchnoodles]

I’m heading to @solana's Dubai SEZ next week — and then Abu Dhabi the week after.

Two cities, one mission: talk stablecoins, payments, and RWAs with institutions that want to build the future of credit.

If that’s you, DM me. I promise good energy and cold (lukewarm at best) takes.

[Newton D. @launchnoodles]

Will consumers care about the rails? My prediction: no.

They’ll care about value added services & functionality (credit, automation, interoperability, rewards, etc.).

Perhaps banks will pioneer the first iteration of these tokenized deposits, but I believe real innovation will come from those who stumble (albeit with some intentionality) into being banks rather than from those who have being a bank as a mission.
