Everyone should be able to access high-quality financial assets, wherever they live.

That's what tokenization unlocks: taking the best of US capital markets and making them available on a global scale.

The industry is still small compared with global finance, but the advantages are becoming harder to ignore. Traditional market infrastructure was built around fixed hours, closed networks and layers of intermediaries. It was never designed for 24/7 execution, programmable assets, composability or self-custody.

The needs of investors have moved faster than the rails underneath them. We're working to change that.

What gives me confidence is seeing how many different people are now pushing this industry forward. Founders are building new products, LPs are bringing liquidity, traders are finding new uses, and infrastructure teams are making the whole thing work.

It's a privilege to be in the trenches with all of you.

We are still early, and there is a huge amount left to build. It will also take time and effort for the old guard to get onboard. This is worth fighting for.

LLMs are probabilistic. Even with clear instructions, there's no guarantee the model will interpret and follow them exactly as you intended.

I think that's where we need to go a step further. Meaning, you need deterministic limits on what it can actually do

At mysten, we believe blockchains and the technologies around them are going to play a big part in making that possible.

Working on something here. Will share more with you at sui basecamp next month

[The Block @TheBlockCo]

NEW: Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam is seeking control of at least three Venezuelan oil fields as Washington reshapes the country's energy sector, Bloomberg reports.

Ehrsam has made repeated trips to Caracas while exploring investments in oil, gas, fintech, and digital payments.

[Payward @Payward]

We're acquiring Reap.

Card networks. Banking rails. Blockchains. One platform. Stablecoin-powered.

@reapglobal expands @PaywardServices with globally regulated card issuance and stablecoin payments. Financial infrastructure for the next era of global payments.

[Reap @reapglobal]

Reap is joining @Payward, @krakenfx's parent company.

We started Reap in 2018 with a conviction: stablecoins will be core infrastructure for global payments. Now, with the Payward ecosystem, we’ll move faster toward a more open, continuous global financial system.

Same team. Same product. Bigger reach.

We’re just getting started. Reap to the moon 🚀

Moving money should be as free and instant as sending a message. That's what we envisioned @Meta

This year, we make it real on @SuiNetwork, with full privacy

[Artemis @artemis]

New research by @NChemaya in collaboration with the teams at Artemis and @lightspark:

Stablecoins look less like consumer payments and more like on-chain treasury, liquidity, and settlement infrastructure.

[Ludovic Copéré @lcopere]

It was a pleasure to host our @Sony_Innov_Fund #web3 portfolio #startup @Bastion at our @Sony global HQ in #Tokyo.

I thoroughly enjoyed the insightful conversation with @nassyweazy on how #stablecoin is rapidly reinventing #financial #infrastructure, and how Bastion's #enterprise-grade platform helps unlock and accelerate the adoption of #stablecoin in a safe, secure as well as scalable way.

Very much look forward to fostering further collaboration with Sony as well as across the broader #Japanese market! 🇯🇵💸✨

1/ How are stablecoins actually being used? New research by @lightspark and @artemis unpacks the data. Volume has doubled year-over-year, but it’s not driven by retail adoption...

[Christian Catalini @ccatalini]

1/ How Banks Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Stablecoins—When we announced Libra, the reaction from the global financial establishment was, to put it mildly, "energetic"...

[Christian Catalini @ccatalini]

1/ "Open always, eventually wins." Money is the last closed network. The next step is neutral, permissionless rails anyone can build on. Full talk ⬇️

[Christian Catalini @ccatalini]

1/ @Stripe just pulled back the curtain on @tempo, its corporate blockchain, and the pitch is a classic. You get an all-star team, state-of-the-art tech, an impressive roster of partners—including one of the card networks the whole thing is designed to replace—and "neutrality."

1/ Stablecoins were graduating from the playpen of crypto traders and DeFi “degens” to the main stage of mainstream payments. That fight is now on—albeit mostly off-camera—as a new wave of challengers readies its lines against incumbents Tether and Circle.

[Mastercard News @MastercardNews]

Today, we announced our end-to-end capabilities to support stablecoins, ensuring payments can be made or received using them - anytime, anywhere. Alongside proven leaders across Web3, finance and fintech, we’re empowering consumers and businesses to use stablecoins as easily as the money in their bank accounts. Here’s how:

[Plume @plumenetwork]

Calling all Goons!

As the first project to distribute true ownership in RWAfi, we united loyal Goons and RWA pioneers to create public ownership of our ecosystem.

Collectively built. Collectively owned. Plume is for the People.

Let’s show @binance the power of our community.

[Matt Hougan @Matt_Hougan]

I can't stop thinking about this quote from US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent:

[W]e are going to keep the U.S. the dominant reserve currency in the world, and we will use stablecoins to do that.

However big you think stablecoin AUM will get, you're probably thinking too small. So, the question becomes: What does the rest of the crypto market look like if stablecoin AUM is multiple trillions?

“two things @StephenCurry30 said that really stood out to me about @Andre…

he came at a moment in time — even his decision to come to the Warriors — made us believe in ourselves, and then he came here and he did whatever it took…

[he] always put excellence over ego… never pouted on the bench when he came off the floor, he was the first to get guys fired up” @altcap
