Coinbase is now the first crypto company in the S&P. My favorite line: "Since going public... Coinbase has become a bigger part of the U.S. financial system" It makes me happy knowing that starting Monday, even people who despise crypto will now own a piece of the industry.

Pitched Mayor Adams nearly three years ago to the day. Keith Grossman and I told him that he had a real opportunity to make NYC the crypto capital of the world. Wild to see this idea become reality.

We now have a federally chartered bank that owns a yield-bearing stablecoin. Great move by Anchorage.

Our goal is not to make Permissionless the largest conference of the year. The goal is talent density.

Wow, amazing episode. Apollo has $750 billion AUM. Now they’re moving onchain. Finally got Apollo partner and head of digital assets on Empire to discuss their new onchain credit fund and crypto journey. If you’re building or investing in RWAs, this pod with @christinemoy, @pinged, and Carlos Domingo is a must listen.

Caught up with two friends and realized how slow most of the professional world moves. For context, they're both very successful in trad careers. One is a lawyer and one works in private equity. Neither of them uses AI. Ever. They don't understand why or even how they'd use it. "I just google things" One of them has never heard of Stripe. The other couldn't explain the difference between Stripe and Shopify. Neither of them own Bitcoin (though they do feel like it's finally derisked enough to consider buying some). Neither of them has heard of stablecoins. I asked if they would know how to launch a basic website and they said they'd go hire a developer. If you're reading this, I promise you, you are still so so early.

You're telling me that in one week: 1) Stripe launched stablecoins in 100+ countries 2) Ramp launched stablecoin cards 3) Superstate launched onchain equities 4) Robinhood is building their own crypto platform 5) Biggest deal in crypto history (Coinbase/Deribit) 6) Meta is back in the stablecoin game 7) Ethereum shipped a massive upgrade 8) Bitcoin ripped through $100k Wake up fam! Internet capital markets are being built in real time and it's pretty damn cool.

I'm sure most disagree. But I think the two most interesting ecos today might be World and TON. World will get embedded into society as AI takes over. Telegram will become a daily app in the US. Like always, massive distribution combined with massive capital will be tough to beat.

Noticing that magic at Blockworks tends to come from hybrid talent. Aka people who can crossover disciplines. – Designers who ship code – Engineers who can sell – Analysts who understand marketing – Journalists who leverage data – Sellers who automate with tech This will only continue as these people use AI tools as rocket fuel.

Media, prediction markets, and memecoins will converge. Media is good at adding context but bad at quantifying the truth. Prediction markets are good at quantifying the truth but bad at context. Memes are the ultimate indicator of cultural attention. Convergence soon.

May disclosures page is live. Updated with Mike's angel stuff. As a reminder, if you're public facing and create content, you have to disclose holdings of $5k+ (it will say "no" if you own an asset but less than $5k) Holler if we can improve! https://blockworks.co/financial-disclosures

Blockworks is about to go parabolic. Realizing the opportunity is 100x bigger than Mike and I originally thought. This is year 8 of building, don’t think I’ve ever been this fired up about the business.

Prediction market disputes are a bigger problem than I realized. Seems like there must be a better way. From an interview with Domer (top polymarket trader). https://www.onchaintimes.com/a-chat-with-domer-the-1-trader-on-polymarket/
