2024 has been a great year. All we wanted to achieve was build a product that serves the needs of the customers. A true Product Market Fit. Thanks, @MustStopMurad, for giving us the best gift by acknowledging our effort. We did a lot of intensive customer interviews to understand and iterate continuously, and now 2025 is the year when we deliver x-alpha.ai lightspeed with top-notch quality and new features that customers really need.

🚨READ THIS - Suspicious Market Mechanics Explained (Not Conspiracy, Just Facts) Something WEIRD is happening right now and most people are reading it wrong. Here's what we're seeing: Funding rates is still positive. But we don't see new Longs being added. Open going Interest is up. Price is down. So maybe many shorts being added. But why is funding still positive? This feels like a dislocation in logic. The Mystery: Normally when funding and OI pump together, it means new longs are flooding in. But here's the thing - LONGS AREN'T REALLY BEING ADDED. So why is funding still positive? Because perpetual futures prices are trading HIGHER than spot. When perp price is higher than spot price, long traders pay funding fees. That's how the system keeps perps anchored to spot. The Real Story. If longs aren't pumping, where's the perp demand coming from? PLOT TWIST: Maybe it didn't come from anywhere. Maybe some exchange, some Whale slowly dumped DUMPED MASSIVE SPOT Bitcoin. Near about 2 billion in spot, sold TWAP. So the funding is positive not because there's a huge demand for perp but a constant unloading of Spot that's always done and being done. We're talking around $2 BILLION USDT worth, sold via TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price). This crashed spot prices down while perps stayed higher, positive funding even though the market is actually BEARISH. The Bottom Line? This isn't manipulation. This is just what happens when someone moves size and doesn't talk about it. Could it be an exchange or a Whale using an exchange? Context matters. Hence stop believe every influencer who posts charts with multiple indicators and uses Chatgpt to do the analysis. They have no context. Thanks for coming to my no Conspiracy talk.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink told the World Economic Forum he thinks the movement toward tokenization and digitization is necessary. We need to move very rapidly to doing that. With one common blockchain, we can reduce corruption. The "one common blockchain" Larry Fink referenced could plausibly be Ethereum, based on BlackRock's ongoing initiatives and public statements emphasizing Ethereum's role in asset tokenization. BlackRock has repeatedly positioned it as a key platform for their tokenization efforts, including launching products like the BUIDL tokenized money market fund directly on Ethereum, which has grown to over $2 billion in total value locked. There's no second best!

Vitalik Buterin says @ethereum has sacrificed way too many core values—like decentralization, privacy, and financial self-sovereignty—just to chase mass adoption. He stresses that this has to end now. According to Vitalik, starting in 2026, Ethereum needs to zero in on reclaiming those lost values by: - Boosting private payments. - Making it easier to run nodes. - Building truly decentralized apps that don't rely on centralized servers. - Giving users better control over their data and assets. Ethereum also needs to be tough enough to last for decades, even centuries, without depending on the dev team, while pushing decentralized stablecoins so users aren't tied to the traditional financial system.

From seed to $1.4B Series C, our conviction in @SkildAI has only grown. Lightspeed first invested in Skild AI at the seed stage, doubled down at Series A, and today we’re proud to continue backing them as they announce their Series C. From day one, we believed that Co-Founders @pathak2206 and @gupta_abhinav_ were building something truly generational. Skild AI is redefining what’s possible in robotics. They have built the Skild Brain, which is the industry’s first unified, omni-bodied robotics foundation model. Unlike traditional, task or hardware-specific systems, the Skild Brain can operate across robots of virtually any form and adapt in real time to new environments. It’s another step by this team toward a universal operating system for robots that can safely and seamlessly work alongside humans in the real world. This new round of funding will accelerate Skild AI’s mission to scale robot intelligence. Huge congratulations to the entire Skild AI team on this next chapter.
