I joined Messari nearly 4 years ago. Spent years competing in the rivalry between crypto's data and research giants. The Messari Mafia spreads wider than most know. I'm proud to be a part of it. Always had respect for @Blockworks. Best of luck to both teams as they become one!

deSPXA by @centrifuge brings S&P 500 exposure onchain on @base. Trading volume is picking up on @Uniswap, reaching $6.6M on June 9th. The token can be borrowed against on @Morpho and @eulerfinance, with @SteakhouseFi and @ClearstarLabs directing liquidity to $deSPXA markets.

I bet on the @nyknicks to win Game 4 (and the series) but saw they were down 20 and never tuned in. Checked back and saw it was a one-point game... watched the last five seconds and they came back down how many points?? Wow. And the World Cup kicks off tomorrow? LFG

Yesterday, @ethena invested $250M in $JAAA and designated @centrifuge as a tokenization partner. Other partners include @coinbase, @JHIAdvisors, @apolloglobal, and @SPGlobal, reflecting the protocol's institutional caliber after nearly a decade of building in RWA tokenization.

Final day to join the World Cup bracket challenge. $100 USDC to buy-in. 18 people so far. Top three win. Folks from @keyrock, @VarysCapital, @base, @serotonin_hq, @MessariCrypto, and others. HMU!

A man can dream, but he gets liquidated instead… 👾 Thought the frenzy might pull me out of the red. Need a @defiapp arcade machine activation at the next conference 🕹️ defi.app/join/58DNh7

Neutrl is incentivizing 6 and 9-month locks leading up to TGE in September. This is becoming a trend. @Neutrl, @infiniFi, and @golieth_io are doing it, but I can see many others like @solsticefi, @grovedotfinance, and @3janexyz going this route too. By focusing on users' explicit duration preferences, protocols can deploy into high-yield duration assets/strategies. Not to mention it boosts TVL floor, which never hurts. I was late to using Neutrl, so I elected for the 9-month Founders Lock for a 700x points boost. Funds unlock mid-March 2027. Basically, I'm viewing it as a savings account I can draw from for tax szn in April.

So hyped for the World Cup to kickoff on home soil! No games in Chicago, but we get a taste with the USA vs Germany send-off match. Fun to have a connection with so many teams having traveled a ton these past few years. After USA, I’m rooting for a LatAm winner.

Is this the path we are on? Prices are ugly. I don't even want to look. But I'm still a believer. Things work in cycles. Everyone who doubted the 4-year cycle was proven incorrect. bitcoin:native will return. I will be DCA'ing over the summer. Sub $60k is a good price to me.

A new 1000x leverage arcade game on @defiapp. solana:J3umBWqhSjd13sag1E1aUojViWvPYA5dFNyqpKuX3WXj just hit an ATH of $0.058 too. Have always felt it's solid @HyperliquidX beta. Best alongside $KNTQ. If you want a few dopamine hits, my ref link is below. You'll get a free $15 when you deposit USDC. app.defi.app/join/58DNh7

The capital curation arm of @RockawayX has grown to $107.5 million in TVL. The firm's first RWA-focused vault launched on @kamino in February. RockawayX-curated vaults have since expanded to @Morpho, where activity has been driven by the recent launch of $PRIME by @HastraFi.

Played @defiapp Rocket Perps in beta and preferred it over @hitdotone. > It allowed me to pick the direction of my 1,000x trade (via @Aark_Digital) > You earn $HOME by tapping the screen. Kept me engaged with an open trade So much talk about consumer crypto. I like this one 🚀

I'm hosting a World Cup bracket challenge for those in the cryptosphere! I did the same for the Copa America x Euro Cup in summer of 2024. Everyone loved it. Buy-in is TBD but will be between $50 to $100 USDC. DM if you'd like to join! 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇨🇦🇦🇷🇦🇹🇦🇺🇧🇪🇧🇦🇧🇷🇨🇮🇨🇴🇨🇷🇩🇰🇩🇪🇨🇿🇪🇨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇸🇫🇮

Hot take - now is the perfect time for @HyperliquidX to conduct a second airdrop. Price relative to bitcoin has been up only since TGE in November 2024. Demand for hyperliquid:native has outstripped supply, resulting in a near-doubling of price over the past two weeks with no end in sight. Fears surrounding airdrop selling are overstated. The benefits will outweigh any short-term selling pressure that would be easily overcome in these market conditions. 44% of supply is pending distribution as "future emissions & community rewards." This is why a second airdrop would be beneficial: > The biggest knock on Hyperliquid is its lack of decentralization. Broadening tokenholder distribution would help on that front and allow the validator set to expand further. > The generosity of the first airdrop contributed to Hyperliquid's post-TGE success by creating the most loyal community in crypto. A second airdrop would have the same effect, but this time, for a much wider base of users. > Speculation on a second airdrop has boosted protocol usage and realized revenue for 1.5 years. An airdrop today would have the same effect in the following years, particularly for newer products, and could result in entirely net-new users given today's level of awareness. > @chameleon_jeff would continue his run as the most based founder in the cryptosphere. The main argument I can make against an airdrop is that it could hurt institutional adoption by increasing uncertainty around sell pressure and future distributions, which the core team may be reluctant to risk given today's level of interest. However, I think that is too conservative, and the team may have ultimate confidence, not fear, in making the decision to conduct a second airdrop. If I had to wager, this is the path they will eventually take. Hyperliquid.

The @HyperliquidX rocketship reached $74 this morning, surpassing @dogecoin as the 7th most valuable digital asset. Below are the price levels hyperliquid:native would reach at the circulating market caps of those still ranked higher. BNB -> $429 XRP -> $371 SOL -> $214 TRX -> $149
