"so you staked your ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield?" "yes, Dave" "except you didn't want your capital to be locked up so you actually staked it with a liquid staking protocol called Lido?" "that's correct, Dave" "and Lido gave you a liquid staking receipt token called stETH in return?" "yes, Dave" "and then you didn't think that was enough, so you juiced the yield even further by depositing your stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer?" "you are correct, Dave" "and now you didn't want to lock up your capital, so you actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided you with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH?" "you got it, Dave" "and then that was surely not enough juice, so you then deposited your rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called AAVE so that you could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero whose security is held together by a 1/1 toothpick, which was obviously hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry" "you are 100% correct, dave" jfc.

Hyperliquid proved that massive success in onchain perps can be achieved with very few employees. Now, more competitors like $Aster are stepping into the space. OKX Web3 has been testing a similar product since 2023, but we chose not to launch mainnet due to regulatory concerns. While we celebrate the growth of onchain perps, we should not forget the CFTC enforcement against Deridex in 2023. Regulatory enforcement has fundamentally shifted — hopefully the industry can soon gain much-needed clarity. cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressRele…

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds. If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe. If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now. It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage.

singapore is the highest iq country that has never shipped anything that matters. this is my essay on why there are no great singaporean companies. we are a nation of compradors; middlemen too domesticated to do anything but serve.

Great read on Singapore, will add a few more points as someone that left after NS and has been away for nearly a decade now: - Genius does not grow in an environment hellbent on confucian conformity - Despite the fiat resources that would allow us to dominate most mainstream art forms and the talent to actually do so, the cultural fear of stepping out of norms means it will never happen - It's genetic societal. The hot weather, rat utopia type megacity cannot inspire creativity as a whole. You are far too busy trying to make your iron rice bowl to paint, write poetry, or spend hours on an instrument for the 0-100 non-linear achievement that blows humanity away. We are heavily fixated on the accrual of material comforts, due to the size of the country and lack of resources. In scarcity, the mind cannot flourish, and the brain cannot bloom. But it is also cultural. With no examples of locals that broke the trend, and were rewarded, our genetic (Sinoid) predisposition to conformity, and being cautious, will only continue to grow over time. We will import genius through the dying corpses of Europe, and supply the manpower through the Mainland. It is often the most obtuse, facetious Singaporeans that tend to do well in our cutthroat society, smiling with one half of the face while concealing a knife of deceit in the other - a sad evolution of British stiff upper lip and Chinese face mentality joining into the classic phrase, "Sinkie pwn sinkie". And it is this obsession with money, with status, that will likely doom our nation to vanish into obscurity, another banking haven turned into an ocean-covered ruin centuries from now, for the majority of our populace does not care for humanity, rather, we worship the god of hoeflation itself - filthy fiat, a dollar sign with no real backing, trusting in our CPFs, our BTOs, our ECs, our freehold properties to be the Iron Rice Bowl for our families and futures, despite our English education, our great academic skills, and unique bridge between East and the West where we could synthesize the best of both worlds, and become something extraordinary. Our dating culture does not foster much innovation, when the majority of women will only date above their fiat leagues and social status, choosing to value their fellow countrymen solely for the monthly cheque they bring in. This creates a facsimile of dating pressures that ensure only the most conforming tend to reproduce (while birth rates drop), though hopefully, religiousity will reverse some of this trend. Men create great things for the women in their lives, for their children, for their village, for their people - but from young, Singaporeans are taught to hate each other. From zip code to Gifted Programme slots in primary school, there is no avoiding the concept of scarcity when you must fight in the books with other 12 year olds for your PSLE examinations - where your entire life's fate is determined if you understand the purpose of mitochondria in a cell, if you can solve this one algebraic equation or tell me how many oranges Faizal has after a harvest season. The issue is also climate. In the hot, humid equator, one does not know the passing of time and seasons, and how Nature works with God to form and create Life, and how the seed of Man can flow from the Air that one breathes, to the Water that falls from the sky, to the green shoots of life that spring forth as the seasons turn. In the humid, swamplike heat, you have one burning desire - escape into your air-conditioned safety, and shut the door to make sure no one else gets in. Otherwise, the room might just get too warm, and calling up the contractor to fix it is yet another bill that you want to avoid. Singaporeans are thus trapped in an anti-hyperboreal time capsule of scarcity, heat, and humidity, where the brain cannot function optimally, where the lights in the school burn a blue LED scar down optic nerves, where the concept of rest, of recovery, of a life outside academic, career or financial pursuits might exist. I have long proselytized how Jacob Collier born in Singapore would have flung himself off a HDB by 12, and I'm not exaggerating. The Singaporean blood HAS the seeds of genius, but the land that it is sown upon chews it up and spits it out, husks of man fed to the mill of monetary growth. It is the unique combination of British colonial history, the Chinese Confucian system of thought, and the selection bias of labourers and migrants who left mainly for economic pressures, that creates the last bastion of Britain's once great empire. Lee Kuan Yew has been praised for many things, but his biggest regret was the upsetting of dating dynamics that he had created with his Stop at Two policies, and pushing the education of the entire populace as opposed to enshrining family and children as the cornerstones of Singaporean society. A non-Singaporean man can't understand the idiocy of finding a good mate in Singapore as a local male - while possible, it can sometimes feel like looking for a Dodo in 21st century New Zealand, one might as well murder a flightless parrot instead. You are cucked of two years of your youth by National Service, only to be thrown back into academia where your female counterparts have 2 years of education/earning power over you, and you have the best of the rest of the world entering the country in order to take advantage of low taxes, and good business laws, thus sweeping up a significant chunk of the dating population before you've even made your first paycheck. Born in the 21st century, you then look at your parents that are sitting on 7 figures of unrealized gains with their HDB, their condos, their landeds, and have the face of an entitled boomer go: "You can pull yourself up by your bootstraps, I did it in the 70s". You step into your local hawker centre, and no longer is it the smell of satay, the smell of bak kut teh brewing, the wok hei of char kuay teow, no, instead it is the flaming sichuan peppercorns of mainland Chinese stores, Xinjiang skewers, the pungency of kimchi, and you watch the very soul of your childhood disappear to the inflation of fiat, sacrificed for the boomer's supermajority vote and continued growth of assets. You meet a nice girl, go home to her parents - they ask you how much you make as a 20 something, they ask you the potential of your career, they ask how will you provide - the Singaporean man is the proverbial golem in the matrix, a Neo without having ever taken the pill, drained of his jing, his energy, his youth, his time, to fuel the growth of a corporation that ultimately he will never enjoy the benefits of, while the nation bends over to higher powers and economies like a KTV harlot, or an escort in Grand Copthorne Hotel on the cock carousel for a stack of dollars. You walk down the streets of your childhood - the local stores are gone, replaced by the globohomogenization, another chain from the USA, another chain from China, another piece of history priced out by the strength of our dollar, and the ever-growing rice bowl of our ministers and politicians. The middle class feasts and fomos into yet another condo development, chasing the fiat pump of their assets, banking on the next generation in line to be the exit liquidity for their purchases, so they can take fancy holidays to Japan, to Taiwan, to take photos of autumn leaves, cherry blossoms, shoving another piece of chutoro down their gullets. There is no greater pride in Singapore than using your own countrymen for exit liquidity. The kampung spirit is long gone. The Emerald of Katong isn't the laksa, it's the 500k profit you can lock in on your unit after inhabiting it for 3 years in a sexless unhappy marriage where your only action is when you tell your wife you finally booked the tickets to Hokkaido and it's with SIA this time, not ANA. Under Lawrence Wong, the nation will suffer. The man has no stake in Singapore's future, only feasting upon the nipple of our Merlion with his lack of children, his SK-II slathered wife, and his cheap, sloppy blues licks on his American-made Fender guitar that he strums in a nice landed property. Meanwhile, the working-class Singaporean teenager is hooked on Kpods in a cramped HDB, praying for a way out of his misery as he stares at an enlistment letter from the SAF. Thus, the classes in Singapore are actually determined by age of birth, and place on the fiat ladder, as opposed to the creation of value, the traits of intelligence and positive impact, cast aside for the almighty Eye of Horus. A man cannot lead a nation without a bloodstake for its continued success. Lawrence marks the start of a clown world for Singapore, where faking riffs and smiles for the laughter of the crowd is key, and brushing away the rot underneath the surface is the go-to strategy to keep your place on the totem pole, to keep the machine spinning long enough as you harvest yet another omokase meal or another quiet trip in luxury from our pot of avarice. Singapore's inevitable decline has already started, for we lack what the Europeans and Americans had to save their nations at crucial moments - geniuses that could innovate and solve the issues that the population faced, buying them more time to figure out the next step, to keep the ball rolling. With a lowered birthrate, we have begun the negative flywheel of immigration to boost GDP, the continued devaluation of the average salary while the inflation of asset prices and women destroy the psychological prospects of any man in the nation to push forward. Underneath the polished floors of MRT platforms, hidden behind the manicured sidewalks and flower pots adorning the roads, is a spiritually bankrupt nation, one that lost its humanity long ago and chose to trade it for modernity. I pray one day our nation finds its way.

KTV Over Offices: My Playbook for Scaling Crypto in APAC (Part 1/2) Let's be honest… in Asia, the magic rarely happens in offices and meeting rooms. They happen at 1am in a KTV booth when everyone's had 10 shots each and the person you’ve been trying to talk business with finally says “Ok, what does your project do?” Whilst Western founders perfect their pitch decks, Asian business deals get sealed over late-night dinners, in private WhatsApp / WeChat DM’s, and yes, during KTV sessions and nights at the club where your tolerance for alcohol might just secure the deal. This is part 1 of the APAC playbook nobody tells you about. My no bullshit guide to cracking seven key crypto markets across Asia. After years of building in the region, I've seen countless Western projects face-plant because they tried to copy-paste their Silicon Valley approach. So I'm breaking down exactly how to navigate China's censorship maze, tap into Vietnam's builder energy, win over Singapore's gatekeepers, penetrate Hong Kong's old-money circles, ride Korea's narrative waves, crack Malaysia's trust code, and vibe with Thailand's mobile-first communities. Got your eye on a specific partner? 👀 Drop "APAC" in the comments whilst tagging the project, and I'll try get you a warm intro from my stakeholder list of 300 regional contacts Note: Post was inspired by @ahboyash 1. CHINA 🇨🇳 China remains a high-potential yet complex crypto market. Despite a ban, underground activity is vibrant, with $86 billion in crypto flowing through the country from mid-2022 to mid-2023 and OTC volumes exceeding $20 billion by mid-2024. The market is driven by crypto-native users and curious pragmatists seeking wealth preservation and speculative opportunities. Stablecoins like USDT dominate. User psychology divides experienced users who navigate restrictions easily, while the general public remains risk-averse. Resonant narratives include financial security, blockchain innovation, and global participation. To capture Chinese users, you must go underground but stay loud where it counts. Build stealth micro-communities on WeChat and QQ, wrap your product in "blockchain innovation" narratives, and flood early adopters with gamified rewards like airdrops, quests, and collectible NFTs. Move fast, speak their language, and make every action feel like a VIP invitation into the next big opportunity Adoption • Approx. 4.2% of population holding crypto • Top exchanges: Binance (~20% of volume is from Chinese users), OKX, HTX • Predominantly retail adoption • DeFi shows strong growth • NFTs see traction when framed as "digital collectibles" • Memecoins see speculative hype cycles • Infra protocols have limited but strategic growth Regulation • Fully illegal • No formal tax framework for crypto • Foreign crypto marketing restricted Trends • Dominant chains: Tron, Ethereum, BSC, L2s • Top use cases: Stablecoin transfers, DeFi, OTC swaps • Popular wallets: MetaMask, imToken, TokenPocket • High-frequency behaviours: CNY → USDT OTC → DeFi, and airdrop farming • Fiat on/off ramps rely on OTC desks and private brokers • Popular narratives: Yield farming, airdrop farming • Most active users: Retail traders, degens, airdrop hunters • Sentiment: Primarily yield-maxi, secondarily anti-establishment and pro-privacy Exchanges @binance, @OKX, @HTX_Global (Huobi), @gate_io, @Bybit_Official VC / Funds @fenbushi, @CsquaredVC, @SevenXVentures, @DFG__official KOLs / Agencies @Cipher_Dance, @iamyourchaos, @snow949494, @Elabs_crypto, @EnHeng456 Community Groups @ETHPanda_Org, @see_dao Events @EthereumSH Media @PANewsCN, @JinseFinance, @bwenews, @TechFlowPost, @ChainCatcher_, @Foresight_News, @OdailyChina, @BlockBeatsAsia, @BiteyeCN
