After being dormant for the past 8 years, interest in blockchain as a fintech enterprise solution has resurfaced. It's a combination of the regulatory environment and the long lead time that large institutions require, but it's here, real, and worth following: blog.hack.vc/cycle-tested-vo…

We’re thrilled to announce our investment in @navaai. As AI scales, our thesis is that value is migrating from pure compute to trust and verification. 🧵

In 1995, people "invested in the internet." Today, no one does. It is simply the inherent plumbing of nearly every successful business on the planet. We are at the same fulcrum with blockchain. The tech behind crypto is evolving into the fundamental infra layer for global finserv. Here's the latest from @peterhansVC 💡blog.hack.vc/cycle-tested-vo…

I was an early investor in like 5 multi-billion perp dexs that Hyperliquid eventually vanquished. Plus many of the biggest CEXs. Here is exactly how HL won: 1. HLP: every winning perp exchange used an internal market maker. Liquidity is THE product, you can't outsource it. FTX <> Alameda is the infamous failure case, but Jeff also bootstrapped HL with his trading firm. He then took it to the next level by democratizing access to that internal MMer with HLP. 2. Centralization: they launched with a permissioned chain, with the team as sole validators. Competitors were messing around with experimental chains like Starknet and Solana, some parts on-chain and some off-, it was a mess. HL's approach was clean and fast, but also took major reg risk that a US team could never have done. But it paid off, because... 3. The best product: sorry to my founders, but HL was the whole package. The UX, the speed, the auto-margining… wow. CeFi-level trading experience. 4. Airdrop and VC-less fair launch: great narrative to give all tokens to the users and only the users. That’s what crypto is about.

Looking back on a great '25, and very excited for what's ahead in '26...

I'm incredibly excited to support N3XT in their mission to make crypto banking happen in the US again. N3XT's founders, Scott and Jeff, are forces of nature: they previously built Signature Bank, the biggest and best bank to support the US crypto industry in a regulated way, before the last administration forced them to shut down. Most founders would quit after something like that, but instead they they immediately went back to work building N3XT. Hack is proud to support them as they finally come out of stealth mode. We recommend them to every business who wants to interact with the US banking system.

Yes please
