We're building something special.

@Maxwolfj @PlugandPlayTC @bitstack Congratulations

[Adam Winnick @adam_winnick]

When my partner @KamalMokeddem writes which is not often I strongly encourage people to pay attention. Today’s correction and future ones, combined with positions in new TGE protocols increasingly unlocking / dumping will create one of the most accessible but overlooked investment opportunities since the ETH ICO, inspiring championship level FOMO. @FinalityCap will be ready. Will you?

What a week in London!

It was incredible spending time with the @PyxisSearch team and attending the Digital Asset Summit 2025 (DAS London) — one of the most insightful gatherings in the digital finance ecosystem.

The event underscored how AI, blockchain, and traditional finance are converging faster than ever. From tokenization of real-world assets to the rapid evolution of on-chain infrastructure, the takeaways were clear: innovation is accelerating, institutional adoption is real, and the talent powering it all is in high demand.

Huge thanks goes to @MikeIppolito_ , @JasonYanowitz and the @blockworks team for hosting another high quality, institutionally focused conference!

We also used the week to align on Pyxis’ goals for 2026 and beyond — refining our strategy across AI + Web3 recruiting, strengthening partnerships with top VC-backed companies, and expanding our reach globally. The future looks bright, and we’re truly firing on all cylinders.

With a growing list of high-impact roles across engineering, product, and GTM for leading startups, we’re continuing to scale — and we’ll be hiring AI-focused recruiters to join our team as demand surges.

Exciting times ahead. 🚀

🇺🇸 Banks are sounding the alarm on stablecoins—and it matters for Web3 hiring:

A new Wall Street Journal piece highlights why stablecoin adoption has traditional banks on edge—and career opportunities are emerging as a result:

•Stablecoins are going mainstream: pegged 1:1 to fiat, they enable fast, low-cost payments, especially cross‑border, which challenges traditional banking’s core business
•Deposit flight risk: banks warn stablecoins could siphon off up to $6.6 trillion from traditional deposits—impacting their capital and lending capacity
•Regulatory headwinds: The Genius Act limits interest payouts on stablecoins, but issuers like Circle and Coinbase are already offering incentives that mimic yield-bearing accounts
•Banks pivot to opportunity: from managing reserve assets to exploring their own stablecoin initiatives—major institutions are now viewing them as a strategic frontier

⸻

At Pyxis Search, we’re tracking this shift closely because:
1.Talent demand is evolving – finance firms now need blockchain developers, compliance experts, and product leads who understand token mechanics and on-chain governance.
2.Crypto-native and traditional firms are converging – as banks and fintechs build internal blockchain capabilities, competition for talent is heating up.
3.Web3 recruiters must adapt – to support this growth, we’re advising clients to seek hybrid skill sets: crypto fluency and rigor in regulatory, treasury, and risk management.

If you’re a stablecoin, DeFi, or blockchain payments specialist, let’s connect—there are pioneering roles across institutions building the next-gen digital dollar economy.

⸻

📣 Bottom line: Stablecoins aren’t just a crypto story—they’re disrupting banking. And where disruption happens, recruitment accelerates. Pyxis is here to match Web3 talent with the roles reshaping digital finance.

🚀 Had an energizing day at the @CerebralValley AI Summit in London last week where @ICONIQCapital unveiled their 2025 State of AI Research report.

📊 Surveying 300+ software leaders, the verdict is clear: AI is no longer experimental — it’s strategic.

🔍 Key takeaways:

• 25%+ of R&D budgets now go to AI
• Shift from infra to agents & end-user apps
• Cost catching up to accuracy as top LLM concern
• Scaling orgs shift spend from talent to infra
• Tools underutilized without external motivation
• Biggest hurdles? Not tech — it’s use cases & ROI

🎤 Huge thanks to @EricNewcomer, @_konsella & @brianmulcrone for curating an outstanding lineup & delivering a world-class event.

And major shoutouts to the insightful sessions from: BonnieKruft (@MSFTResearch), @Thom_Wolf, @janatindex, @pbotteri, @thulme, @cjpedregal, @HarryStebbings, @jameswilsterman, @vriparbelli, @matthieurouif, @lqiao, RenenHallak (@VAST_Data), BellaLiu (@OrbyAI), @eoinhinchy, @antonosika, @mlchild, @ChaseLochmiller, @eisokant, @dkhos, @alexgkendall, @zoink - thanks for the perspectives!

A few standout speakers I'm particularly looking forward to:

- Dylan Field (@figma) – AI-native collaboration in design
- Alex Kendall (@wayve_ai) – Foundation models for autonomy
- Victor Riparbelli (@synthesiaIO) – Generative video at scale
- Lin Qiao (@FireworksAI_HQ) – Infra for the agent era
- Eiso Kant (@poolsideai) – Rethinking how we build software with AI

If you’re a founder, investor, or operator working at the frontier of AI, I’d love to meet. DM me or just say hi on the day.

We’ve talked about the future of tokenized reinsurance. Building it takes the right partners.

@Rockaway_X shared that conviction early — in bringing uncorrelated, real-world returns on-chain with DeFi-native infrastructure.
