1/ The aspect of time-based incentives is probably the least explored design space in crypto despite possibly being one of the most powerful.

The Bridge Panel Spotlight:
The Beta Problem: Are Crypto Hedge Funds Just Levered Index Trackers?
Do crypto hedge funds really deliver alpha, or are they just providing packaged beta exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum? LPs, allocators, and managers will debate whether true skill exists in digital asset hedge funds — and how to separate it from disguised market exposure.

1/ @multicoin is happy to release a paper arguing against the Winklevoss Standard, a test that frustrates listing digital asset ETPs. In it, we argue the SEC should return to the statutory 6(b)(5) meaning & craft generic standards. assets.ctfassets.net/qtbqvna…

Will be at @TheTieIO Bridge event today discussing how LPs are navigating crypto. Crypto was really the big winner last night and institutional allocators are sharpening their pencils as they look to get exposure to the space
The Bridge Panel Spotlight:
The LP Landscape for Digital Assets will explore the evolving role of LPs in digital asset investment strategies, how LPs are navigating crypto, how their approach has shifted, and the changing dynamics of capital flows in the broader ecosystem.

7/ Mercury gives universities a superpower to better engage with fans, athletes, students, & alumni. I think a core component of the future of recruiting will be schools offering “NIL in a box” - programs that support the growth of players’ brands when they walk on campus day 1
