Why did we raise our last round: We’re already profitable. So why raise? For years we’ve asked ourselves what it would take to truly bring finance OnChain. We believe @CantonNetwork has finally identified the components needed to establish crypto rails as a new global settlement layer, rather than treating crypto wallets as a mere distribution mechanism (as most “tokenization” does today). Those components are: privacy, issuer control and sovereignty, governance, and alignment of economics. We have the largest organizations in the world moving their core businesses to run on Canton. That will drive utility to canton-network:native. @digitalasset’s entire business is canton-network:native. So why raise? Because we have a unique opportunity right now. Organizations are willing. Regulators are willing. Admin is willing. We could wait for organic growth, or DA can step in to accelerate it. Rather than wait for large corporates with long budget cycles to build this infrastructure, DA will build much of what’s needed to double, triple, and quadruple canton-network:native utility. We will enter new partnerships to build applications that drive more usage. Those will be announced later this year. We will partner with builders to bring burns to subnets. And there are potential M&A activities that will further align other companies with @CantonNetwork. All of this requires a healthy balance sheet, which we now have. There is still a lot of work to do, but I’m excited for what’s ahead.

A lot of people seem angry that Elon is now a trillionaire, so it’s worth reminding them that he didn’t achieve this by making anyone else poorer. Wealth isn't zero-sum. Paul Graham explained it well: paulgraham.com/wealth.html

Looks like more people will be moving to Miami, @FrancisSuarez

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

I may have found the perfect housewarming gift for someone I really don't like very much.

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics. this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

Threadguy reveals Hyperliquid was the only venue on earth that didn't break during the SpaceX IPO "What Hyperliquid pulled off on the SpaceX pre-IPO was absolutely incredible. So much volume, so much OI, the market was so liquid, and it predicted the price almost perfectly. The last quote that came out was 150, and within 10 minutes of the IPO it was at 175. It was wild how accurate it was." "And here's the crazy part. The moment the IPO went live, Robinhood was down, Coinbase was down, Bybit had to refund everybody that participated, Binance had to refund everybody that participated, and Hyperliquid was the only venue on the planet with absolutely no problems. Very impressive tech performance on the biggest IPO in history."

wow

Huge congrats @JasonYanowitz and @MikeIppolito_ - Well done!

People ask me how I stay so optimistic. The honest answer: I read the data, not the headlines.

We secured some shares in the SpaceX IPO. Always happy to back @elonmusk, and so far this looks like a very successful IPO.

Canton just closed $355 million led by a16z crypto. RedStone was the first oracle to launch on Canton in December 2025. Built natively for Daml - the smart contract layer Canton runs on. The permissioned design means price data reaches only authorized parties, no public exposure - a hard requirement for regulated institutions on the network. The integration covers the full data stack: live price feeds today, with liquidation intelligence and credit risk infrastructure as the logical next layer, with institutional onchain finance growing more complex. If you're building on Canton - find us at @TokenizeThisNYC on June 23-25, where tokenized finance discussion will happen.

🇺🇸 LATEST: US DOJ subpoenas JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo over alleged "debanking" of customers for political reasons, Reuters reports.

Brad Garlinghouse isn't holding back. 🚨 The Ripple CEO just went on Fox Business to call out Jamie Dimon’s pushback on crypto regulation as an "intentional misrepresentation." “$13 TRILLION in legacy volume, 0% on-chain... yet. 👀” "Stablecoins are the ChatGPT moment of finance." 💥 He revealed Ripple Treasury handled a massive $13 TRILLION in legacy payments last year and explained why that multi-trillion dollar gap is the ultimate crypto opportunity. The tides have officially changed. 👇

lol?

We published new research with Harvard on the shift from chat interfaces to autonomous agents like Computer. Over 3 months, findings show workers using Computer finish tasks in 87% less time at 94% lower cost than Search alone, with higher satisfaction. research.perplexity.ai/artic…
