Paradigm

We build and invest in the companies and ideas shaping the frontier. Led by @matthuang and @alanapalmedo.

[Alana Palmedo @alanapalmedo]

Fired up to back this team of killers @adamblake @OverReactor1776 and @nickporadek to solve the hardest physical constraint in the AI race on the fastest timeline possible.

Terrain is an elegant factory-built solution to complex engineering and supply chain problems, designed for speed, access to existing energy, and minimal nuisance to local communities.

These guys are some of the most intense and capable operators on the planet and have already paved a path for an entire industry. The compute market needs them.

Zipline is now one of the largest autonomous robotics companies in the world, operating with scale, safety, and a magical user experience for consumers and merchants (including Walmart, Uber, etc)

Excited for Paradigm to lead this $1.5B round

[trade.xyz @tradexyz]

trade[XYZ] and ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, are joining forces to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States.

In just over a year, our markets on Hyperliquid have surpassed $650 billion in volume. They provide continuous price discovery for stocks, indices, and commodities, and have become trusted reference points for retail and institutions alike when traditional markets are closed. Much of the world trades them. Until now, Americans could only watch.

We intend to change that. Subject to CFTC approval, trade[XYZ] and ICE plan to establish a new, dedicated U.S. market, with novel exchange and clearing infrastructure built on Hyperliquid. Planned contracts span equities, indices, commodities, FX, and crypto, with access through participating brokers and platforms. We’ll share more on products, eligibility, and timing as approvals progress.

ICE brings more than 25 years of experience operating regulated markets, clearing, and managing risk. trade[XYZ] brings the product development, market design, and technology behind the most liquid and robust markets on Hyperliquid.

Innovation and the protections of U.S. regulation shouldn’t be a trade-off. Together, we plan to prove it.

ICE is making a strategic investment in trade[XYZ] and joins us in building towards the future of Hyperliquid. A small group of market luminaries is joining as well, beginning with Stan Druckenmiller. For more than four decades, few investors have anticipated the great turns in markets as often as Stan. We’re proud to have him with us for the next one.

We’re building the U.S. market in parallel with our existing HIP-3 markets, which we’ll continue to expand and innovate on. We expect both to flourish. They each have a long road map ahead, from new asset classes to new ways to trade them.

To the Hyperliquid community, whether you were here before us or came because of us, thank you. You took a chance on new markets and you made them matter. You’ll forever be a part of this story.

Anything. Anytime. On ICE[XYZ].

[Hyperliquid @HyperliquidX]

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and trade[XYZ] have announced their plan to use Hyperliquid as the infrastructure layer to deploy perpetual futures markets for US traders across crypto, equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and other real-world assets, subject to regulatory approvals. ICE operates NYSE and some of the largest exchanges and clearing houses globally.

In this structure:
+ Hyperliquid serves as the underlying technology infrastructure via HIP-3*
+ trade[XYZ] designs and implements the markets
+ ICE operates the regulated market and clearing structure

Existing trade[XYZ] HIP-3 markets will remain unchanged.

Hyperliquid is a neutral infrastructure layer with the goal of supporting large parts of the financial system. As with HIP-3, HIP-3* deployers are independent operators who use Hyperliquid as the onchain infrastructure layer for their own markets, while retaining control and responsibility over their deployment.

10 days left for GPU World, the story competition from Neal Stephenson, Gwern, and me.

What happens when frontier per-GPU capabilities diffuse?

[Jim Belosic (scs) @jimbelosic]

Okay it’s happening:

- Added 160k square feet in Reno for our automated high volume lines and parts up to 5’x10’. Operational now.

- Added 170k square feet in Pittston PA for 1-day shipping (or faster) to the Northeast US. Landing machines and growing the team now.

- Southeast US is next (flying out next week to negotiate a lease). 3 more leases in 3 more states to sign after that. Expect massive lead time reductions across our factory network.

- Finalizing our first acquisition and working on the second and third. These are services you’ve been asking for. More coming. We’ll be able to say yes to more of your BOM.

- Welding is ramping nicely. More assembly support soon.

- More materials and capabilities for CNC machining in development now, including much smarter pricing. Increased capacity will also help us cut lead time drastically.

- Added 450 people so far this year. Hopefully double that in 2027.

- Candy and merch budgets have been tripled.

…And we’re just getting started. That’s a big part of why we raised again: to build more, ship faster, and make manufacturing easier and more accessible. I’m doing my best for ya. I love you guys.

Big thanks to @willreed at @sparkcapital , @caitlinbolnick1 at @CRV, @marksugarman at MHS, @andrew__reed at @sequoia and @matthuang at @paradigm for supporting our Series B (and the extra rocket fuel)

LFG!!!!! 🇺🇸

new data report on the recent superexponential publication boom

we measure the boom across 5 million papers + 2.5 million researchers + 7000 institutions + 15 data sources

here are the top 7 chart takeaways
