We’ve been quiet for months, building in the background. But it’s time to show you what we’ve been working on. Over the next few weeks, as we prepare for mainnet, we’ll be shipping (with receipts) , everything we’ve built in silence. Our north star was simple: programmable Bitcoin, without bridges. That meant building everything from scratch: a new VM, new cryptography, and a new consensus , all capable of doing real Bitcoin things. This has never existed before. I’m beyond proud of the dozen and counting brilliant engineers who locked in on this vision and made it real. Read our manifesto, our mission, and our values for Bitcoin’s next chapter and sign it with your Bitcoin wallet to be part of the movement. The quiet build is over. Let’s show the world what’s coming. Bitcoin proved it could store value. Now it will prove it can power finance. Arch World Order.

"Onchain credit in 2026 is institutional, underwritten, and composable. That was unthinkable in 2022" Matteo on the state of onchain credit in 2026 and why the market is in a totally different phase than people think "The borrower side has matured. Institutional counterparties like FalconX are accessing credit onchain with clear terms, defined collateral arrangements and legal structures that hold up to institutional scrutiny. That is a real change from the first generation of crypto-native borrowers with thin credit history" "The underwriting layer has been professionalized. Multiple professional underwriters now bring traditional credit discipline to onchain products. That alone is significant for the ecosystem" "Composability is starting to demonstrate real value. Using an onchain credit facility or RWA as collateral in another overcollateralized protocol is the meaningful proof of concept for what the next phase looks like"
Repo Is $16T. Onchain Credit Is $5B. What's Missing? x.com/i/broadcasts/1RKjpznpm…

In the last month, Morgan Stanley, Charles Schwab, and Citadel — among the world’s largest wealth managers, broker-dealers, and hedge funds — have announced plans to build Bitcoin capabilities. Probably nothing.

At @blockworksDAS last week, every conversation was the same: institutions are ready to build financial services on Bitcoin. They're just waiting for the infrastructure. That moment isn't coming. It's here. We built @ArchNtwrk to be it.

BlockFills just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. $50-100 million in assets against $100-500 million in liabilities. BlockFills was a Chicago-based institutional crypto trading and lending firm backed by Susquehanna, CME Ventures, and Nexo. They processed over $60 billion in trading volume in 2025 and served around 2,000 institutional clients including hedge funds, asset managers, and mining companies. Here's the timeline of how it unraveled: February 11 - BlockFills halts all customer withdrawals and deposits, citing "market and financial conditions." Late February - CoinDesk reports the firm lost approximately $75 million. CEO and co-founder Nicholas Hammer steps down. Early March - Dominion Capital sues, alleging BlockFills misappropriated customer crypto assets, commingled client funds with operational funds, and concealed significant losses. A federal judge issues an emergency order freezing BlockFills' bitcoin holdings. March 15 - Chapter 11 filed in Delaware. Reliz Ltd. and three affiliated entities enter bankruptcy. The pattern is identical to every crypto lending blowup we've seen. Aggressive leverage in derivatives, counterparty risk exposure to other struggling firms, client funds not properly segregated, and losses hidden until they couldn't be hidden anymore. This is what happens when you hand your bitcoin to a third party and trust them to manage the risk. Not your keys, not your coins isn't a meme. It's a risk management framework. The firm's own backers include some of the biggest names in traditional finance. Susquehanna and CME Ventures did their due diligence and still got it wrong. If they can't assess counterparty risk in this market, what chance does a retail investor have? The answer is simple. Stop trusting intermediaries with your bitcoin.

Out of the top 20 RWA assets onchain: 16 are tokenized funds 2 are tokenized gold 1 is HELOC yield 1 is private credit / lending That means 80% of the largest onchain RWAs today are essentially short duration, regulated, fund style products. Mostly institutional treasury products wrapped for onchain rails. This first wave of tokenization isn’t about bringing every single asset onchain. It’s about bringing the safest, most boring, most institutionally comfortable assets onchain first so that we build up some trust…

Financial services built for bitcoiners and institutions who hold btc on their balance sheets is the big unlock that will unlock bitcoins full potential as sovereign money This is what’s being built on top of the @ArchNtwrk
Twenty One is not a treasury company. Twenty One is not a speculation marketplace. Twenty One is a Bitcoin company. Simple, yet somehow new to public markets. Bitcoin needs financial services. No one of scale is building them. We will.

Institutions and DATs are shifting gears: owning Bitcoin is no longer just about “HODL” it’s about putting BTC to work. From earning yield on reserves, to hedging drawdowns, to even buybacks , the narrative is evolving fast. The takeaway: Yield from BTC holdings is becoming one of the most in-demand strategies among corporates and institutions that hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets.

Block subsidies are going to zero faster than this industry wants to admit. If Bitcoin doesn’t build a real on-chain economy now, the future looks very different than we pretend it will. Nobody’s talking about this …. but they should. 👇

The old playbook is dying. Speculation without fundamentals isn’t enough anymore. The market is shifting toward blockchain businesses that actually generate revenue and capture value. Most tokens are down because they still don’t.
Should crypto really be worth $1.5T today? Crypto unlocked 24/7 global markets, but it's not 2021 anymore. @santiagoroel discusses who will capture value going forward
