Improving the existing rails of value transfer, ownership, identity and economic coordination

[Merlin Egalite 🕛 @MerlinEgalite]

Nubank made $15.8B in 2025, 85% from interest.
SoFi's NIM went from $95M to $617M in 4y after its banking charter.

Credit drives revenue, but no one has cracked unsecured lending at scale.

Now imagine a network to which neobanks can connect that allows credit underwriting at scale.

This is Morpho [TBA]

[Mehdi (e/λ) @BetterCallMedhi]

I spent time in Shenzhen last year and when I saw Merz come back from China saying Germans need to work more I immediately knew what broke his brain because I lived the exact same cognitive shock

my first week in Huaqiangbei I burned through 4 prototype iterations of a motor controller board for less than a thousand bucks total, back home a friend was working on something similar and spent over 12 thousand for a single revision that took almost two months to arrive

when you live that contrast in your own hands with your own project something permanently shifts in how you see the world and it goes way deeper than speed & cost

what Shenzhen actually built is a collective learning organism, imagine 20 PCB fabs 15 injection mold shops 30 component distributors and a hundred firmware freelancers all within a 2km radius, looks insanely redundant from the outside until you realize redundancy is actually information density in disguise

I watched this firsthand with an injection mold supplier I was working with, this guy had seen a hundred founders iterate similar thermal designs over 6 months so he proactively modified his tooling before I even opened my mouth, he knew what I needed before I knew what I needed, the intelligence lives in the relationships between the nodes and it compounds daily

the west thinks about manufacturing as a cost center you optimize by centralizing…

China accidentally built a distributed neural network of manufacturing intelligence where knowledge diffuses horizontally across thousands of agents faster than any single western company can process internally

so when Merz comes back and says we need to work a bit more I think he saw the problem but COMPLETELY misdiagnosed the solution, telling Germans to work harder is like telling a horse to gallop faster when the other side built a combustion engine

the gap is ARCHITECTURAL

it’s ecosystem density, you need a custom connector in Shenzhen you walk 200 meters, in Munich you send an email and wait 3 weeks

it’s iteration speed, parallel search vs sequential optimization at the system level, it’s risk tolerance, Chinese founders ship something broken on Monday fix it Tuesday ship again Wednesday while European companies are still in the approval phase for the pilot program of the feasibility study…

and Merz only saw the surface, what he missed is the tier 2 cities like Hefei Chengdu Wuhan replicating the Shenzhen model at scale right now

BYD going from irrelevant to outselling every european automaker combined in roughly 5 years, Huawei building its own 7nm chip under maximum sanctions when every analyst said it was physically impossible & behind all of that a government that treats advanced manufacturing as an existential national priority while europe debates whether AI needs another ethics committee

I think what we’re watching is the most asymmetric economic competition in modern history and most western leaders are still framing it as a productivity problem when it’s actually an ontological one

Europe & America are optimizing variables that China stopped tracking years ago meanwhile China is compounding on dimensions the west has no framework to even measure
Merz at least had the courage to name

it out loud and I respect that genuinely but working a bit more inside a broken architecture just means you arrive at the wrong destination slightly faster

1/ Longer form thoughts re Trump memecoin.

Its suggestive of a term that's short-term great for price / liquidity but long-term suboptimal for industry development.

My concern is on a mid-long term timeframe. Short-term I'm trading the shitters with you all.

Here's why.

[Nansen 🧭 @nansen_ai]

Moving on up.

Three days later, and we’re now THE largest @HyperliquidX validator (excl. the 5 foundation validators)

The HYPE is real. 🚀

[steven.hl @_stevenhl]

4 days ago, Hyperliquid expanded it's validator set to 16 nodes (11 nodes are community ran). Since then:
- There's been no complaints about the chain's uptime or UX (Blast and Base both stopped producing blocks this week)
- More than 33% of airdropped HYPE is staked

Hyperliquid

[kirbycrypto @kirbyongeo]

HYPE now has a $9.43B Staking Market

~ 40% of Total $HYPE Supply Staked (vs 28% ETH supply)
~ 70.12% of Stakable $HYPE Locked In (Total Supply - Total Rewards - Assistance Fund)

To help ring in the new year, I updated the graphic of Hyperliquid's history. The growth we've seen from 2023 to 2024 is incredible:
- TVL up ~2200x
- HLP PnL up ~50x
- Platform vol up ~1000x
- OI ATH up ~562x

2024 put Hyperliquid on the map. 2025 will be the year it takes over!

NVIDIA is getting crazier.

They just dropped a tiny AI supercomputer, built for robotics and LLMs, capable of 70 trillion operations per second.

For $249.

Game over.
