- The Senate just killed the most important crypto bill in US history. After months of bipartisan work, the GENIUS Act had real momentum. Until Elizabeth Warren rallied Democrats in a last-minute revolt to block it. Here's how politics is costing the US its financial future:
- This is "Steven Smith." He's actually a North Korean spy in disguise. Using a fake GitHub profile and stolen ID, North Korean hackers like him have stolen ~$3B in the last two years. Until one company set a trap they never saw coming:
- Blockchain infra is still in the 80s. Dress appropriately.
- Traditional real estate is dying. Over 60%+ of Americans are priced out and call it "unrealistic." But Pres. Trump just signed an executive order to change that. And it's allowing ANYONE to own a $100 Million property for $100...
- The changes we need are coming. Excited to see the progress being made to bring crypto & AI innovation to the center of the nation. Great night with @DavidSacks and other leaders at #CryptoBall.

- .@axelar and @StellarOrg networks should be connected soon -- enabling seamless interop. and we're yet to figure out what to do with @Algorand. 🤷♂️ even though we literally helped to launch it. @StellarOrg is making moves, like launching a Rust-based VM and pushing the "real"I love talking about real world utility but pairing that with a fictional use case is misleading. The fact is that crypto POS sales at scale are a ways out and the leaders in that space are definitely NOT on algorand. If you want to talk about real world utility - show it.

- Elon Musk is pulling back from DOGE. Since Jan 2025, his team has slashed 250K jobs and shut down 11 federal agencies. The right celebrates it as a $160B victory. The left calls it America's costliest mistake. Here's what the data reveals about DOGE's track record:
- After more than a year of deep development, the Axelar v2, codename Mobius Development Stack (MDS), is going live on the Mainnet. 1. It will be a phased rollout, but the core components of Axelar VM, Amplifier, and ITS are already live on the mainnet. 2. Many excitingA renaissance awaits. Beyond the Cosmos. Beyond Ethereum. Beyond what you thought was possible in Web3. Everything connected. Imagine how great we could be. The stakes have never been higher. The promise has never been greater. Liquidity. Tokenization. Compute. Security.

- .@axelar TVL approaches $600m. That's just below @Optimism placing it as #16 across all chains. 🤯 Are you not interchained? Deploy your token at interchain.axelar.dev
- .@axelar is about to make it to top 10 chains by TVL. Sitting at $1B. Available to bring these assets to any chain interconnected. At an instance. Who's next?
