@ChairmanSelig It doesn’t end at equity perps

For crypto,Seeing equity perps get regulatory approval in the US could open the door for more crypto-native financial products to find their place in traditional markets

This is a big shift in crypto at large

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

After reading the @CFTC statement on equity perpetual futures

I could immediately flashback at @Injective launch of its TradFi Index on February 10, 2025,

bringing traditional market exposure into its onchain trading environment. 🧵

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

@ChairmanSelig What stands out is how the same instrument is moving across two very different environments.

Perpetuals grew popular in crypto because they offer continuous exposure without an expiry date. Now that structure is entering regulated U.S. equity markets.

Another Injective Mainnet upgrade proposal is open for voting on https://t.co/I7t1z8h7ur

This isn’t simply about fixing a network issue. Veyra is about bringing new capabilities to @Injective’s infrastructure as it prepares for more institutional activity and tokenized assets.🧵

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

@RobinhoodApp @injective The bigger implication is that access to a blockchain doesn't always begin with its native wallet or ecosystem.

Sometimes it begins somewhere familiar, with a straightforward route into the network waiting afterward

[Injective 🥷 @injective]

🔥BREAKING: $INJ has officially been selected to be a part of @RobinhoodApp’s crypto trading sweepstakes, running now through November 22.

Robinhood has 28.6 million funded customers. Eligible users can enter to win INJ right in the app.

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

One detail about $INJ on @RobinhoodApp deserves more attention..
Now, US users can withdraw it directly to an Injective wallet.

That means the token isn't confined to the platform where it was purchased.🧵

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

@RobinhoodApp @injective That makes the journey simpler for someone who wants more than exchange exposure.

They can acquire INJ through Robinhood, withdraw it to self-custody and decide what to do with it on Injective.

@opentensor @injective The next gen. of AI won't exist only inside apks

It will increasingly interact with the physical world and the economic systems around it.

Having people working on robotics intelligence involved in this Hacker House adds an interesting dimension to what builders can explore

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

AI is gradually moving beyond chatbots and applications on our screens.

We're getting closer to a world where AI can understand physical environments,interact with objects and power intelligent machines.

seeing @opentensor in at the @Injective hacker quest tells alot already🧵

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

@opentensor @injective Now bring that expertise into a room with @Injective builders working on AI,agentic infrastructure and onchain applications

You have an opportunity for ideas around intelligent systems to move beyond experimentation and explore how they can interact with financial infrastructure

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

@injective Put these capabilities together, you get ans. to "how come this far"

An agent can access information,execute trades,earn fees and pay for services

@Injective is building the financial infrastructure that could allow autonomous agents to participate in an economy of their own.

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

In these 5 years of @Injective mainnet, one thing that has really caught my attention is how the network is preparing for AI agents to become active participants in finance.

Not just tools that provide information, but agents that can trade, earn and make payments. 🧵

[Injective 🥷 @injective]

Five years ago, Injective produced its first block.

Five years later, the first U.S. ETF for $INJ launched on Nasdaq and some of the world's largest institutions onboarded to Injective.

Today, that vision is becoming a reality.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible builders, validators, institutional partners, stakers and millions of ninjas who believed in us along the way.

Thank you for five extraordinary years.

We spent the first five years building the foundation for a new global financial system. The next five will be about bringing that vision to billions worldwide.

The best days for Injective are yet to come. Lock $inJ

[SPECIAL @special_brid]

@injective Payments are another important piece.

With x402, AI agents can pay for data, APIs and other services using USDC, with transactions settling on Injective in about 600 milliseconds.

This gives agents a way to pay for the resources they need to operate.
