Held in their account (wallet). Next they’ll allow users to pay bills / salaries from said account so frictionless global employment & then they can layer in v cool stuff like cash back, loyalty program, credit cards etc

It’s pretty simple - Stripe is building the everything app for consumers & businesses. They have the payment network, acquired @Stablecoin and @privy_io to build out the onchain infrastructure. Now every business can get paid in stablecoins, earn interest on assets (1/2)
I hope everyone continues to believe Stripe is just a telco of yesteryear just looking to extract rent. They’ll continue to miss what’s actually happening and where we’re going. Best of luck.

There’s a very big difference between investing in a mature protocol that is about to launch their token and a < Series A company. It’s one thing watching a token sell off 50%+, it’s a whole other mental beast watching a project go to 0 after 2-3 years with no token
If I'm a Series A or under investor watching Coinbase enable a company to raise $100mm+ from retail in 24 hours, I'm shitting my pants here. Offerings will force private investors to provide actual value or compete in an open market for deals. I hope Coinbase finds a way to do

The notion that US Healthcare is where startups go to die continues to hold true. It's an absolutely broken space with a ton of inefficiency but just insane regulatory capture and hurdles for any startup

SPVs mania / shenanigans is going to be a big biggest catalyst for pre-IPO companies issuing some stock on chain for liquidity / general float
strong prediction: one of these days someone buying SPV shares is gonna get their shares cancelled

Does anyone have a connection at @stripe I can chat with? They have frozen one of our portfolio company's accounts for ~2 months now with no information and no ability to actually talk to individual about what the issue is

Hyperliquid is pushing the frontier with HIP-3. The potential is massive, but so are the unanswered questions: slashing conditions, liquidation backstops, governance subjectivity. Our latest piece breaks it down.

Currently in the process of bringing my shares on chain & it is a perfect example of what @superstate is solving. ~3 days for my shares to usable when transferring from a brokerage to the registration agent...
A historic first: We’ve partnered with @superstatefunds to allow stockholders to tokenize and hold $GLXY shares onchain. This milestone marks the first time a public company has tokenized its SEC-registered equity directly on a major blockchain. Effective immediately,

We have now enter the phase of DATs where they are funding other DATs (seen a few of these proposed) - can anyone explain the rationale here?? Exchanging chase for a illiquid asset that could trade below the NAV instead of just buying the actual BTC?

this one does not make sense to me - What's the point of tokenized stocks if they can't leverage existing DeFi ecosystems?

Any guesses on the timeline I just got quoted for trying to send a wire from a US bank account to a UK bank account?

One of the things that we are excited about in 2025 is the changes that are occurring at the networking layer of the web3 stack. That’s why we’re thrilled to back @get_optimum in this financing round. You can find our thesis for investment below:👇 Congrats to @MurielMedard

Gunzilla has made an awesome game with OTG but what is the point of a token for the game when 43% of the token is for investors + advisors and another 35% of the token is for the team + foundations? <14% of the token is allocated to players

Always great chatting with @MikeZajko & Ray! Been awesome to have a front seat view on Daisy's growth since this podcast was recorded.

I thematically like Legion / Echo but am pretty skeptical on how they scale when retail gets handed 0's 2, 3, 4, 5 years down the line with little to no relationship with the core team

idk what started the refunding angel checks debate but my two rules with respect to angel investing 1.) When I angel, I mentally mark that investment to 0 once the wire is sent 2.) If you take money from angel investors, only take them if they're okay taking a 0
