It was a pleasure to guest-author a new piece for @Fin_Revolution! 3 predictions for stablecoins: 1. Foreign governments will launch or co-opt stablecoins to hold onto their own market-share against the U.S. dollar. 2. Algorithmic stablecoins will make a comeback. 3. Yield isn’t going anywhere.

Woah! @GoldmanSachs and @BNYglobal are partnering on tokenized funds. cc @TACoalition @itsjawknee___ 🏦 What’s happening? Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon are partnering to launch tokenized money-market funds on a blockchain platform. Institutional clients of BNY—like hedge funds, pension plans, and corporate treasurers—will be able to hold and trade these digitally tokenized fund shares in near real-time, with ownership recorded directly on Goldman’s private ledger. 💲 Why it matters: •Yield generation: Unlike stablecoins, these money-market fund tokens earn interest, making them a more attractive on-chain reserve. •Faster settlement: Transfers and settlements move from days to potentially minutes, slashing operational costs and enhancing efficiency. 🔗 Industry buy-in & ecosystem build-out: Major asset managers like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Federated Hermes are already backing the initiative. It builds on a broader institutional push toward tokenization—particularly following the recent GENIUS Act, which provided regulatory clarity on stablecoins and digital assets. 🚧 Challenges ahead: Although tokenized funds offer promise, widespread adoption depends on evolving regulations, operational integration, and proving cost-benefit over traditional models. Plus, inter-network integration (especially across borders) needs work to establish governance standards. 📈 Context in the market: This move reflects a broader trend: in the first half of 2025, assets in tokenized treasury and money market products surged ~80% to around $7.4 billion—driven largely by crypto traders seeking yield and liquidity beyond stablecoins.

Private companies staying private longer than ever. Startup founders are signing up for a decade (maybe 1.5 decades) AFTER seed. Fund managers expecting to wrap things up in the standard 10-yr fund lifecycle will be disappointed.

I've been on United flights 17 times this year and 16 of them were delayed - is this an anomaly or the new normal?

Over the next 24 months, more individuals across the world will own proxies for US treasuries than you can imagine. I truly don't know what the endgame for stablecoin adoption is, but I'm monitoring the situation.

Really wild how there are two housing markets now. If you live in the northeast or Midwest, prices are rising, everywhere around you. If you live in the south or west, prices are falling, everywhere around you. And if you live in Florida, the bottom’s falling out.

I forgot just how insane 2021 was for SPACs
