Never been more bullish about what's ahead for builders in crypto. Thanks @patrick_oshag and @domcooke for the deep dive.
For years I’ve asked @matthuang to let us feature him and @paradigm Matt is the steadiest of hands in a very high vol asset class and world He just said he’s more bullish on crypto than any time since 2018, so excited to share our profile with you all, on @joincolossus
Roman Storm should be freed. It is not a crime to write code. It is equally absurd for SDNY to suggest charges against VCs that backed Roman.
Dragonfly invested into PepperSec, Inc., the developers of Tornado Cash, in August of 2020. We made this investment because we believe in the importance of open-source privacy-preserving technology. Prior to our investment, we obtained an outside legal opinion that confirmed that…
New L1s succeed by exploiting the dogma of incumbents Ethereum succeeded by exploiting Bitcoin's resistance to programmability Solana succeeded by exploiting Ethereum's devotion to home stakers Hyperliquid is succeeding by exploiting Solana's unwillingness to specialize 1/3

Excited to announce that I‘ve joined Paradigm as VP of Brand & Design. Looking forward to exploring the frontier with @matthuang , @alanapalmedo , @David_Swain and the brilliant team and portfolio @paradigm
Fred is always brilliant at pulling the future into the present. Excited for him to do so at the frontier of brain interfaces.
We've raised a $100M Series A from @ThriveCapital, @greenoaks, and a host of great angels. Everyone’s brain can work better. Engineering that idea into reality is the most impactful advancement we can make to life.
Huge, higher than expected turnout for crypto legislaton today: GENIUS Act passes 307-122. CLARITY Act passes 294-134.
Dan takes a day off from being our resident quantitative Turns out he’s pretty good with words too
Here is my testimony from the Senate Banking Committee last week I focused on the promise of DeFi—which does for trading and lending what stablecoins do for payments—and how market structure legislation must not inadvertently harm it Link to longer written testimony in 🧵
We’ve been investors in Hyperliquid since Nov 2024 (thanks in part to @cobie) We keep hearing from our tradfi friends that they’d like easier access, so are excited to collaborate on this with Atlas. Hyperliquid

Math is a fundamental expression of reasoning. Excited to support @HarmonicMath in their mission to build Mathematical Superintelligence (MSI). @tachim and @vladtenev have assembled an excellent team to tackle this important frontier.
Welcome Ricardo!
I'm thrilled to share that I've joined @paradigm as an Investment and Research Partner! Over the past 2 years, I've helped protocols analyze their user activity to distribute over $5 billion in airdrops, and learned a few tricks along the way…
Protect DeFi
I'm testifying to the Senate Banking Committee tomorrow! I'll be talking about why it's important to protect DeFi as part of any market structure bill What should I make sure to mention?

Prediction markets remind me a lot of what crypto felt like a decade ago: a nascent asset class on a path to trillions. There’s no better team than Kalshi to scale prediction markets and reshape how people think about everything from elections to economic markets to sports.
I’m excited to announce our $185M Series C valuing Kalshi at $2B. The round was led by Paradigm with participation from Sequoia, Multicoin, Peng Zhao, Neo, and Bond Capital. People choose to work at Kalshi not because of the money we've raised, but because of our ambition:…
For the first time, I’m expanding the GTM team at Paradigm to keep pace with crypto’s rapid growth. If you’ve demonstrated an exceptional ability to scale companies/protocols and are hungry to partner closely with the best founders in the industry, consider applying below.
Yes.
Recent reporting projects that stablecoins could grow into a $3.7 trillion market by the end of the decade. That scenario becomes more likely with passage of the GENIUS Act. A thriving stablecoin ecosystem will drive demand from the private sector for US Treasuries, which back…
1/ Last week, Paradigm filed an amicus brief in United States v. Roman Storm, a case that could dictate the future of software development in the United States.
Excited to announce applications are now open for our 3rd annual Paradigm Fellowship: September 24 - 26 on the Northern California coast. The crypto frontier is evolving faster than ever. We’re looking for the people who want to explore it up close.
RWAs = token-wrapped tradfi Treasury Cos = tradfi-wrapped tokens Both are ultimately a form of crypto-tradfi bridge
We’ve added support for the Reth execution client by @paradigm on our @ethereum staking infrastructure—joining @go_ethereum and @NethermindEth as part of our multi-client architecture. We are rebalancing stake across execution clients as we ramp up with Reth; below is a snapshot…
