Love seeing our portfolio companies building together. Excited for what this partnership between @unlink_xyz and @eulerfinance unlocks!👏👏
We’re partnering with @eulerfinance to bring privacy to DeFi. With Unlink, Euler will become the first major lending protocol where institutions can access public markets without broadcasting their size, strategy, or positions.

One implication of crypto's maturation: the bar for launching a new token should be getting higher, not lower. @Aryonchain's latest paper below offers a useful framework for separating tokens that are structurally necessary from those that are merely convenient.

CMT partner Sam Hallene runs through two portfolio companies pushing real-world credit onchain: Figure, and SBA lender Newity On Figure: "Yes, they'll give you a really aggressively priced HELOC... but their end goal is not to be a HELOC originator. It's to disrupt the capital markets and be a key linchpin in this evolution of capital markets that we're going into." On Newity: "The SBA has a 7(a) program that allows you to originate small business loans and actually get pretty nice cost advantages on those types of loans, because the government backs a portion of the loan, which allows the lender to lend a bit more aggressively." "These are really attractive assets with the government guarantee, and Newity's plan with several partners is to distribute these onchain. Get really high quality financial assets onchain." @samiam2194, Partner at @CMT_Digital

Thanks for having us @stabledash!
What is @mcagney actually building at Figure? "We just met Mike and realized pretty quickly that his vision was absolutely massive - really to disrupt capital markets in their entirety with blockchain technology." "They want the open network to be like what the DTCC is currently, but as a more open and user-friendly transfer agent and share registry." "His views on securities lending - that yield should be owned by the user, and not necessarily by the brokerage firm that intermediates the lending... you apply that same primitive to equities." "He's dogfooding all of the assets that he brings onto this open universe." @samiam2194, Partner at @CMT_Digital

It was a great week at the @AgenticSummit where @OliverJaros_ discussed building the identity and trust layer for autonomous agents. A timely conversation on the infrastructure needed to enable trustworthy agent-to-agent interactions below:
Agent reputation and human reputation are structurally different problems. Mechanical, on-chain performance data beats review scores every time. Marco De Rossi (@marco_derossi), Oliver Jaros (@OliverJaros_), James Beck (@JamesJohnBeck), and Vijay Michalik (@vijaymichalik), moderated by Jason Chaskin (@ethereumfndn), on building the identity and trust layer for autonomous agents:
