Looking forward to speaking @ethconf New York City on June 8th.

Will be sharing what we're seeing @ycombinator in this next phase of crypto with stablecoins, agentic commerce, trading, and tokenization.

Have a limited set of office hours slots, link below

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@hodisra @ycombinator @Kalshi @bradflora Totally agree. We're seeing a lot of that too.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

Wrapped up @ycombinator New York City fintech interviews at @Kalshi with @bradflora yesterday.

Energizing to talk after to ~150 builders exploring agentic commerce, AI hedge funds, stablecoins, tokenization, AI financial data, ...

Exciting time to build in fintech.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

Step 1 is agent money movement: both rails and early use cases.

Next up is agent credit. And I do think human onchain credit is prob very different than agent credit. Will have overlap and some massive differences.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@EJZhang_TUKEY @ycombinator Audits are critical to our founders building onchain

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@drawl @ycombinator You are not wrong ;) Did it very quickly.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@sternhenri @ycombinator 🤝

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@xkaidus The start is pretty clear: Stablecoins for institutions/int'l payouts and tokenization/trading of stocks.

Then it gets hazy ;)

Will share more soon on what we think comes next.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

We think all of finance is going to run onchain.

Excited to work with a ton of partners to unlock critical tools for crypto founders.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Announcing YC Crypto deals

We're now providing crypto deals to support fintech builders funded by YC: support on tools like wallets, onramps, audits, blockchains, onchain data.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@phklive It's going to be critical.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@_rishinsharma Would love that!

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@AbrahamOwos @ycombinator Tokenizing everything onchain

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

Y Combinator is hosting fintech happy hour on Thursday in New York City.

Thinking of a startup in stablecoins, tokenization, financial AI, agentic commerce, prediction markets ...? Join us!

It's the capstone to our @ycombinator Summer 2026 NYC interviews. Link below 👇🏽

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@Vedantsx @ycombinator Can't wait!

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@Vedantsx @ycombinator Sadly, no.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@AnaisHowland18 @ycombinator Stay tuned!

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@SenpieEth @ycombinator I’ll be there for @ethconf in June and will post an meeting link the week before

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@emaann28 @ycombinator We try to see what's coming.

But more often than not, amazing founders come to us and pitch us the future we never imagined.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

@feulf @ycombinator Feel free to share link. And I'm skeptical anyone is too old for YC.

Fintech esp requires many different backgrounds to build great companies. Really glad I've been through 4-5 crypto+financial cycles at this point :)
