One our portfolio companies @AllonicRobotics just went out of stealth to announce their massive funding round! 🇪🇺🔥

And what they do is kinda crazy… they braid humanoids. Braiding?… Yes… you know… like ropes… 👀

And they build mini-factories for this. This is so unique and far future it’s hard for me to even explain.

So instead of telling you let me show you:

I jumped on a quick call with the founder Benedek and he kindly agreed to show us a prototype of his machine.

PS: I made the video originally with LinkedIn in mind but let me know if these kind of videos are interesting for here too

I would love to do more of them. ❤️🙌

[Ryan Watkins @RyanWatkins_]

Recent regulatory actions are a sharp reminder why decentralized stablecoins are one of if not the most important infrastructure in the cryptoeconomy.

Much of DeFi practically doesn’t work without stablecoins and the industry’s reliance on centralized issuers remains the biggest risk to the growth of DeFi over the coming years.
