Solana fam: we've started planning for Breakpoint 2025. Breakpoint 2025 centers on two themes: Revenue and Returns. No vanity. We’re putting the mic in the hands of teams printing revenue or delivering alpha. Founders, investors and engineers helping them win. The trenches and…
This cycle there's been a lot of attention on tokenized assets and stablecoins - and rightfully so. That said, blockchain is also about expanding finance by enabling the creation of new assets, new markets, and new market structures. DePIN is one such example. It had its first…

“How can we get foundations to onshore to the US?” Under current corporate tax policy - and currently discussed tax changes - it is not possible. Currently, every token transfer in the USA is considered a transfer of (appreciated) property. Because foundations typically have…
Leadership matters
✅ GENIUS ACT SIGNED INTO LAW "The GENIUS Act creates a clear and simple regulatory framework to establish & unleash the immense promise of dollar-backed stablecoins. This could be perhaps the GREATEST revolution in financial technology since the birth of the internet itself."
The GENIUS Act reasserts American leadership over financial innovation. The US led the development of the Internet as an open set of standards that today is used by 5.5B people. We have the opportunity to do the same with blockchain, and digitally native finance. Excited to…

My takeaway so far: Prepare for the ICO craze redux — on Solana 🙃

Phenomenal person, founder, and now colleague.
I’ve joined @SolanaFndn to lead product marketing. Solana is in position to dominate internet capital markets; at the same time, it still feels like day 1. We see sparks of the future everywhere we look but it pales in comparison to what happens in traditional markets. At the…
