It's Friday night, the kids are in bed, the biggest piece of crypto legislation for this year has dropped—the McHenry-Thompson bill on market structure— so let's get this party started. Here’s a deep dive into the bill’s contents. Thread docs.house.gov/meetings/AG/A…

Hi Mario - This is incorrect, please see our notice here: x.com/falconxnetwork/status/…

1/ It is false that FalconX is transacting with Alameda Research, as suggested by a recent publication. The address that was published is a FalconX client's address. It is NOT Alameda. @decryptmedia @MarioNawfal

1/ FalconX has no exposure to Genesis. It's sad to see the industry (customers, partners, and competitors) in pain from FTX fallout... Trust is broken, and we need to rebuild differently. Is the new world order trustless in the centralized layer of Crypto?

1/ FalconX started in 2018. We’ve been through many cycles – yet this one is different, customers have been hurt, investor confidence took a hit, and regulators are justifiably concerned. As an industry, we need to do better, and we have a lot of work to do to come out stronger.

1/6 Announcing FalconX’s $150M #SeriesD from GIC, @BCapitalGroup, @thomabravo, @Wellington_Mgmt, Tiger Global Management & Adams Street Partners! This raise & our recent growth, despite market conditions, validates most of the world's value will be tokenized, including equities.

There is really only one bear market theory right now, and it's likely incorrect. The beginning of Fed tightening cycles & liquidity withdrawals do not start bear markets. ar.ca/blog/debunking-more-ov… We also dive into why $RON will likely be wildly mis-priced when it launches

Amazing. Congratulations @Onrampinvest on your 1 year and all your success. See u in your office tomorrow!!
I’m just minding my own business reading the Wall Street Journal and what do I see (on the back cover no less)? Welcome to the world @Onrampinvest. (That had to cost a pretty penny so hope @DowJones takes #btc) Congrats @TR401 @eervin1 @jus10castelli

Great thread 👇by @arca - Crypto is changing the narrative where HFs & VCs are in the same sandbox. The benefit of $crypto is that everyone has access to early-stage co's, not just VC's. @jdorman81 ensuring it stays democratized. I hope this sets a precedent for the future!

Replying to @mb_mclaren
I don't call bottoms or tops -- that's how you end up on CNBC, not how you invest. I think about risk/reward -- we're way closer to the bottom than the top, and risk/reward is incredibly favorable. Good thread here; similar to how we think at Arca x.com/SpartanBlack_1/status/…
