spot hyperliquid:native coming to Rift any asset, any chain -> hyperliquid:native in 1 transfer
> Paradigm asked me to OTC some $HYPE. Fred Ehrsam sounded stressed. Said the desks are completely dry and clients keep asking for exposure. He paused for a second and whispered: “we should’ve bought more at $12.” > Multicoin partners allegedly asked Kyle why they owned 47 different governance tokens but no $HYPE for so long. Nobody has seen him since. Insider sources claim Multicoin’s investment process now starts with one question: “What would Kyle do?” Then they do the opposite. > Sequoia called me today at 3am asking if I’d lend them some $HYPE liquidity. Apparently every founder in crypto suddenly became a Hyperliquid maxi overnight. The partner on the phone sounded exhausted. He got hundreds of emails saying ”Hyperliquid”. > a16z begged me to unlock some spot $HYPE. They said every dip gets bought instantly and their traders can’t source enough inventory anymore. Chris Dixon asked me what’s the best way to farm a potential s3. I answered that they get a multiplier if they send their spot hype to 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000. > Jump Trading offered me “strategic partnership opportunities” if I’d part ways with my $HYPE bag. I said no. They immediately increased the bid. > Goldman Sachs heard the rumours that their SpaceX IPO deal will be frontrun by Hyperliquid traders. They asked if my $HYPE position was “negotiable.” I told them it depends. They asked what price. I said: “higher.” > Jane Street tried to calculate fair value for $HYPE. They asked me what’s the underlying of a Hyperliquid? After 14 spreadsheets and 3 models they concluded: “there’s not enough spot available.” > BlackRock called asking for “just a small allocation.” They said pension funds are suddenly asking about Hyperliquid during meetings. One analyst reportedly called it “the AWS of liquidity.” I told them to think bigger. It’s the House of all finance. Hyperliquid

there is no such thing as “trustless” the point of blockchains is to make trust explicit: define your security supply chain and let users decide what they want.
In an ideal world all software and hardware would have "nutrition labels" that provide a full list of trust dependencies - what math and which actors' honest behavior (and on what time scale) the system is relying on to provide its core functionality and implied guarantees.

Someone just borrowed 10k via the Rift integration… can the intern get a wallet 😇
Your perk for borrowing with Bitcoin just arrived. We partnered with @SafePal to give away 500 X1 hardware wallets to Sats Terminal borrowers exclusively! 3 weeks. New and existing users. If you've already borrowed with us, you might already qualify. 🧵

This is it. The biggest crypto liquidity inflow event of the year. Non-custodial Bitcoin bridging into DeFi is here, with best in class rates on BTC<>cbBTC. Rift beat out cross chain protocols Near Intents, Relay, Garden, (and Thorchain Chainflip who don’t offer this route) with $10k swaps on mainnet:

we still care dawg
Replying to @EvgenyGaevoy
- Bitcoin reason for existence completely lost behind "number go up". Same goes for most of "crypto" really, cyberpunk overtook cypherpunk ("institutions are coming"), why are we even there then etc etc. Vitalik is literally the only opinion leader that seems to still care

Good evening guys 🤍 ! Sending money from EVM to BTC has always been a headache for me. Most times, I had to send funds to a CEX first, and then move it to the btc network. It takes time and it's expensive. I didn't know a direct way to do it without paying $20 in fees. I tried @riftdex and it looking like the solution. Sending $1000 costs less than $3 in fees and transaction finalizes pretty fast. No middle men, value goes straight to the btc address given. Now, they raised $8m led by paradigm... With no point system, no leaderboard, no discord. Just straight up infra. Its good tek !

--☆ early alpha: @riftdex mainnet interaction. something you might wanna keep an eye on. -- raised: $8m -- rewards: potential backed by Paradigm, Founders Inc, Edge Capital. Rift is a peer-to-peer crypto trading platform where you can swap Bitcoin (BTC) for Ethereum (ETH) (and vice versa) directly with other users, no middlemen needed. Rift performs trades inside TEE for trust, no wrapped tokens while swapping, it's direct, non-custodial, low fees and fast swaps. ● what to do? -- visit dApp: app.rift.trade -- connect your wallet. -- interact with the bridge regularly. DYOR. no discord/telegram yet don't get scammed, use the "give feedback" button at the bottom right corner of the dApp. more updates soon. ● will also drop any $0 opportunities i find interesting, gm.

big things coming when you can borrow against your BTC 👀
Most BTC lending requires you to manually wrap, bridge, and pray. Sats Terminal Borrow abstracts the complexity. 1️⃣ Send BTC on L1. 2️⃣ Receive stablecoins in your wallet. 3️⃣ Zero manual bridging. Zero wrapping headaches. Why it matters: We handle the cross-chain routing in the background. You get the liquidity of DeFi with the simplicity of a single Bitcoin transaction.

we are indeed mid cook 😇 happy btc year
late happy new year from me to the @riftdex community! just noticed that they didn’t make a new yr tweet lol guess they are too busy cooking 😂 btw, here are 5 reasons your should use RIFT for your $BTC ⇌ ERC20 swaps • funds aren’t parked in pools, so there’s nothing sitting around to get exploited • swap logic runs inside a secure hardware • no shared keys, no signer delays, no coordination risks • your swaps are real $BTC to real ERC20 assets - no wrapping involved • swaps only execute when both sides can fully complete • you get to save more on fees
