Encouraging
So, $GLNK took in ~$42 million on day 1. Not "blockbuster" success but very good for a new launch. Volume was strong. The fund currently sits at $64 million in assets. Chainlink showing that longer tail assets can find success in the ETF wrapper too.

Good thread We’re just getting started (actually hasn’t even begun until clarity act passes)
In Defense of Exponentials I used to tell founders, the reaction you are going to get to your launch is not hate, it’s indifference. By default, nobody cares about your new chain. I have to stop telling them that now. Monad just launched this week, and I’ve never seen so much

I don’t want a privacy coin, I want privacy for my coins Just as programability became commoditized and table stakes for all blockchains, so too will privacy Having to buy a specific coin to get privacy is a very 2017-era concept imo Good narrative tho
If you told me 6 months ago that Zcash would start absorbing Bitcoin’s original use-case, I’d have laughed. Today, I’m not so sure... In fact, I believe a strong case can be made that BTC's original cypherpunk vision has been hijacked. Not just because it has underperformed

The institutions aren’t coming, they are firmly here. I’ve never been to a crypto event where there were reps from Blackrock, JP Morgan, DTCC, Goldman Sachs, Federal Reserve, White House, S&P Global Ratings & many more. Incredible two days for our industry in NYC.
