🚀 Today, @moshaikh @neilhar @alextang & I launch Maximum Frequency Ventures (MFV) - a $50M operator-led crypto company-creation engine and venture fund. This is personal for me. I’ve spent my career moving between the discipline of institutions and the chaos of startups, and every stop along the way taught me lessons I wish more founders had access to.
.@moshaikh, the cofounder of the well-known blockchain development company Aptos Labs, announced that he and three former colleagues had raised $50 million for a new venture fund, Maximum Frequency Ventures, focused on crypto companies. trib.al/HiY37jg

Everyone thinks "do things that don't scale" is about building relationships with early users. Yes AND it's about generating mistakes at maximum density. When you're doing everything manually (onboarding, support, delivery) you hit errors every hour. Each error teaches you something the dashboard never will. The manual work IS the learning. Automate too early and you freeze your ignorance in code (and now markdown).

What happens when AI stops being a tool and starts becoming an economic actor? From autonomous payments to agent-driven commerce, this panel explores the infrastructure behind a future where software can transact on its own. Moderated by @ethen_not_ethan, featuring @henryleemr, @flightcomms, @0xryankim, and @jerome_ at SEABW 2026.

One of the more interesting shifts happening in crypto is that people are starting to revisit market structure itself - not just assets, apps, or scaling. For years, the industry focused on settlement: faster chains, cheaper blockspace, better finality. that work mattered. but the actual exchange layer still largely inherited design assumptions from early crypto: centralized matching, opaque sequencing, uneven access, and infrastructure optimized more like consumer internet products than financial systems. If crypto is serious about becoming the foundation for global capital markets, then execution quality becomes a first-order problem. latency, sequencing fairness, deterministic behavior, physical infrastructure - these things sound niche until you realize they directly shape liquidity formation and price discovery. That’s why blink.trade stands out. @moonshiesty and the team are building toward a much more ambitious model for crypto exchanges: exchange-grade execution paired with transparent on-chain settlement. not just “better UX for trading,” but an attempt to rethink what internet-native market infrastructure should actually look like. Feels directionally important for where crypto eventually goes.
ive spent the last year building the best architecture for trading we chose solana because we’re aligned with the same end state: internet capital markets with global access, high-performance execution, and on-chain settlement. we just have different opinions on how to get there blink is built to provide the same execution guarantees as traditional exchanges without making compromises on transparency, verifiability or fair-access colocated users get deterministic, ultra-low latency order entry and market data: users win because they are better traders not because they have an unfair edge blink is fully verifiable, auditable and transparent: users can audit every property of blink in real-time to make this all possible we're evolving sequencer design. orders are sequenced at line-rate, in real-time and distributed over @doublezero multicast blink is built for price discovery: real-time sequencing and market data, fair-access, no speed-bumps until now traders have been forced to choose between best-execution on black-box models or lower-quality transparent open-models if you are a trader, market maker, or liquidity provider who wants to compete on an equal playing field where the best traders win, reach out, id love to talk

Don’t blink. Or do blink. Up to you. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just don’t miss this one or you’ll regret it.
Crypto built global settlement before it built exchange-grade execution. blink is built to close that gap. Physical infrastructure. Equalized access. Tradfi-grade execution. Blockchain settlement. Today, blink comes out of stealth.

A lot of people outside (and inside) the industry don't know how big of a deal the Clarity Act is - it is beyond underpriced. here are just four reasons why: 1. It legitimizes crypto as a permanent part of the U.S. financial infrastructure. Crypto is no longer a fringe technology or policy issue 2. Unlocks institutional participation with clear rules of the road, less legal risk for exchanges, custodians, fintechs, banks, asset managers. This has already started but will explode. 3. Continued from #2, the number of crypto related IPOs and M&A will shock everyone to the upside 4. More assets become institutionally investable as managers will be able to underwrite regulatory risk better. We have been fixated (understandably so) on one piece of language within the broader act that the upside of this passing will catch everyone off guard.
🚨 UPDATE: The CLARITY Act moves closer to law after final stablecoin rules ban passive yield but allow activity-based rewards, lifting passage odds to 55% as lawmakers push for a May timeline despite rising bank opposition

Lol nope.
Prompt: “Redraw the attached image in the most clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic way possible. Use a white background, and make it look like it was drawn in MS Paint with a mouse. It should be vaguely similar but also not really, kind of matching but also off in a confusing, awkward way, with that low-quality pixel-by-pixel feel that really emphasizes how ridiculously bad it is. Actually, you know what, whatever, just draw it however you want.”

Was a great visit to our neighbours just across the borders, and with the Base cohort too. Looking forward to more collaborative efforts across ecosystems, and across nations!

We've backed @enhanced_defi to make sophisticated derivatives more accessible on chain. The team is focused on solving a massive whitespace: institutional-grade yield via options without the complexity. Excited to see the vision come to fruition.

Read to know what people ask me the most 1) are you guys still deploying? 2) what are you guys deploying into? 3) what is keeping you busy. At the same time - looks like we finalized most of our Q2 travel schedules earlier today - all I can say is Q2 is gonna be really interesting for us and our portcos (:
Q1 2026: we stayed active while much of the market slowed. From SF to Shenzhen, we saw fewer competitive rounds, more selective capital and continued momentum in digital assets, AI infra and agent-driven systems. Here's our take on what’s actually happening and how we’re deploying in the link below
