@patrickc As billions of AI agents emerge, we’ll need systems that allow them to exchange value and establish trust. That’s an infrastructure challenge as much as an AI challenge.
AI isn’t replacing workers, it is creating a new management problem. The companies that learn to manage AI agents effectively will create the next trillion-dollar businesses. The AI era won’t be won by companies with the smartest models. It will be won by companies with the best systems for coordinating AI. That’s why we are building @CryptoChainUSA
@a16zcrypto This is exactly the shift we’re seeing.
TradFi isn’t buying decentralization.
It’s buying atomic settlement, programmable money, tokenized collateral, and shared ledgers.
The ideology is optional.
The efficiency gains aren’t.
The biggest takeaway:
TradFi isn’t asking, “How do we become DeFi?”
It’s asking, “Which blockchain primitives improve our business without changing our risk model?”
That’s why we’re seeing adoption of:
• Atomic settlement
• Programmable money
• Tokenized collateral
• Shared ledgers
The future may not be DeFi replacing TradFi.
It may be both running on the same programmable infrastructure.
The next generation of marketplaces won’t just connect buyers and sellers.
They’ll connect owners.
Imagine what’s next:
Airbnb for fractional vacation homes.
Uber for tokenized vehicle fleets.
Spotify royalties traded in real time.
Solar farms owned by thousands of households
@bchesky@RWAFoundation_@happytokenizing
🔥 BULLISH: Airbnb Co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky says RWA tokenization could make ownership global, fractional and instant, but trust will determine the winners.
“The internet made information liquid. This makes ownership liquid.”
Strategy’s latest move highlights an important shift in crypto.
Holding digital assets is one strategy.
Building infrastructure around digital assets is another.
Markets fluctuate.
Infrastructure compounds.
Long term, the companies enabling payments, tokenization, custody, and settlement may create more durable value than simply holding the assets themselves.

The competition between Robinhood Chain and Base is healthy.
It pushes the industry beyond speculation and toward building products people actually use every day.
Completely agree @brian_armstrong Users and customers are the moat. The strongest moat isn’t TVL or transaction count, it’s customers who build their business on your ecosystem. Utility creates trust, and trust creates retention.
Crypto stuffs that Robinhood chain and base will both learn in the next 12 months or so.
Robinhood chain
- new chain steals the spotlight, but it fades quickly after Robinhood users get very bad experience trading these meme coins. Statistics has shown, these games are massive extraction in the long term.
- if volumes are coming solely from PvP meme coin, their real exchange users are the only losers therefore impacting their core business and trust over time.
Base
- been there, done that with non productive memecoin trading, team attention will finally be spent toward sustainable crypto use case.
- not all builders are worth supporting, many will leave for Robinhood chain if not already moved, and eventually they will move onto the next chain.
- steering user towards positive sum crypto use case, liquidity, users/customers are your best moat.
Sustainable value comes from infrastructure that’s used every day, not just tokens that rally. It’ll be interesting to see if network usage grows alongside the price. @PythNetwork
Is Pyth Network back...?
@PythNetwork's native $PYTH token is leading gains amongst crypto majors with a +27% surge in the past week alone.
Alongside a +8% rise in the past 24 hours alone, $PYTH is currently on track to break a market cap of $400M - something it has not done since May of 2025.
Build things. Then let customers teach you entrepreneurship. As a first-time founder, I’ve learned more from building CryptoChain than from any startup book. @CryptoChainUSA

Crypto companies aren’t just buying users anymore.
They’re buying mainstream attention.
The next adoption wave won’t come from crypto conferences.
It’ll come from everyday consumer experiences. @CryptoChainUSA

The article isn’t really about AI.
It’s about standardization.
@binance is trying to define common standards for:
how agents identify themselves,
discover each other,
negotiate,
pay,
and build reputation.
If those standards become widely adopted, developers won’t need to reinvent the plumbing for every new AI application. That’s similar to how standardized internet protocols (HTTP, TCP/IP) enabled the web to scale.

This addresses one of the biggest psychological barriers to bitcoin-backed loans. Many borrowers feared a price drop would automatically cost them their BTC. Keeping collateral untouched as long as payments stay current is a huge step forward. @CryptoChainUSA
THE BLOCK: Jack Mallers' Strike launches protected, bitcoin-backed loans that allow users to avoid liquidation.
Regardless of how far bitcoin's price drops, collateral remains "untouched" as long as payments are kept current, the firm says.
As AI becomes more autonomous, it will need trustless payments, identity, and programmable value transfer.
The convergence of AI and blockchain is becoming harder to ignore. 🤖⛓️🚀 @CryptoChainUSA
Jack Dorsey’s Bitcoin Platform is Expanding to AI
Jack Dorsey’s Bitcoin-focused Spiral (@spiralbtc) expands into the artificial intelligence sector by onboarding the core engineering team behind Block’s Goose.
The open-source project intends to evolve the Goose framework into a comprehensive development platform for agentic AI, facilitating the creation of autonomous digital entities capable of independent action.
This transition emphasizes the convergence of decentralized intelligence and the $BTC ecosystem, with a focus on permissionless execution for autonomous software.
