METS LAND SOTO
I want to see the Mets acquire Gregory Soto at the trade deadline just so Yankees fans have to relive the PTSD of the headlines saying “Mets land Soto”.
If the gen z’s really wanted to embrace the 90’s and early 2000s it would be a Dave Matthew’s Band summer.
RIP Hulk Hogan and that one time I dressed up in a left shark costume for @mashable at @sxsw

New @a16zcrypto podcast! The GENIUS Act just became law and it could change how money moves in the U.S. and beyond. In this episode we go behind the scenes with members of our policy team on how it came together. Here's what to know. 👇
1) Thank you President Trump, @Davidsacks47, @mkratsios47, & the WH team for your leadership on the National AI Action Plan. It’s a clear demonstration of the Administration’s commitment to the U.S. winning AI. It’s also great to see a heavy focus on more pro-innovation,…

Today we're talking about the passage of the GENIUS Act. The "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act" — which provides clear rules of the road for stablecoins in the U.S. We cover the law's implications, the recent high-stakes vote in the House of…
Excited to announce we’re leading a $15M seed round in Poseidon, which was incubated by @StoryProtocol and is building a decentralized data layer to coordinate supply and demand for AI training data. The first generation of AI foundation models were trained on data that seemed…
With GENIUS and CLARITY, the US will lead in crypto/blockchain/web3. 🇺🇸🚀
With the GENIUS Act celebration done, builders already want to know what's next. The answer is CLARITY – crypto market structure legislation – which also got overwhelming bipartisan support in the House last week. Here's everything you need to get caught up on CLARITY:
Crypto org structures should be boring — just like in every other tech sector. Domestic, transparent structures won’t just end crypto offshoring — they’ll accelerate innovation cycles. a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/…

Just left the White House after the GENIUS Act signing ceremony. Stablecoins are bringing faster payments, safer dollars, more access, and less friction. Now we have a legal framework. Many people to thank. Historic day. Now it’s time to get the CLARITY Act done.
It was an honor to be present @WhiteHouse to see @POTUS sign into law America’s first crypto legislation. This is truly a historic moment. Stablecoins and crypto offer a full upgrade to the financial and payment systems. It offers an egalitarian system that doesn’t care about…
