Have you ever been shown a house, paid for it, and then been handed a photo of the building instead of the title, the keys, and a way to collect rent? That’s how a lot of RWA projects still work. They mint a token, call it “real-world assets,” and stop at the surface. Byzanlink doesn’t operate that way. BTOS is the operating layer: issuance, servicing, access rules, compliance, and the full lifecycle, so the asset is actually usable onchain, not just labelled. That’s why the last few weeks have been loud. Gems Launchpad Round 1 closed 10 August. Round 2 closed 24th August. AlphaMind opened 17th August and the $100K soft cap (~3.5M $BYZAN) was reported hit in the first two hours. That window has been running for two weeks. And today is the last day. On 14 August, Solana Daily ranked Solana protocols by 30-day TVL growth: Byzanlink placed 2nd at 237% In July, BTOS stopped being a single-network tool. On 8th July it went live on Ethereum, issuance, lifecycle servicing, and issuer-controlled access on chain most institutions already settle on. Five days later, 13th July, the same stack launched on Robinhood Chain: white-label deploy, same access controls, same operating model. That same month RWA Markets opened on Solana, the vaults landed on DefiLlama, and Byzanlink was nominated for the Global Startup Awards 2026. Hedera and Kaia were already live. July added the two rails that made the map look serious. $1M private round: Outlier Ventures, NTDP Saudi Arabia, Smart IT Frame, Sensei Capital. The window is short. $BYZAN on AlphaMind closes today 31st August, 09:00 UTC. If you are coming in now, here's the official path is below. 🧵. $BYZAN Byzanlink Anbu Kannappan

$The largest IPO in history is also shaping up to be the largest exit liquidity operation in history SpaceX went public at more than 90x revenue, and the insiders who bought in at a fraction of today's price are about to start selling their shares to you. Let me walk you through why this IPO is built to separate retail investors from their money: SpaceX has NEVER turned a profit and lost close to $5 billion last year. At the offering you were paying more than 90x revenue and at the peak the market briefly valued it near 140x. 30 years ago the head of Sun Microsystems explained in detail why paying even 10x revenue almost always ends in tears, and he was right. But listen closely, because the valuation is not even the real story. The scarcity is what CREATED this valuation in the first place, and the calendar that kills the scarcity is what kills the price. Less than 5% of SpaceX shares were actually available to trade at the IPO. Then the index committees REWROTE their own rules to fast track the stock into the Nasdaq 100 just 15 trading days after listing, which forced every passive fund and index ETF in the country to buy at the exact moment the float was at its tightest. The Nasdaq inclusion alone forced an estimated $4.3 billion of buying, and the Russell reweighting added roughly $3 billion more. The supply was minuscule and the buying was mandatory. That's a manufactured squeeze, and it is why the stock went above $225 in its first week. Now watch what happens next, because this is the part they ain't explaining to you: The lockup was staggered on purpose, and the entire schedule is sitting in the prospectus for anyone who bothers to read it. In early August, right after Q2 earnings, 20% of the locked shares come free. Another 10% unlocks early if the stock trades 30% above the $135 IPO price going into the report. Then tranches of 7% hit the market at 70, 90, 105, 120 and 135 days after the IPO, which means fresh insider supply lands roughly every 2 to 3 weeks from late August through late October. Q3 earnings triggers the single biggest release of all, another 28%, roughly 1.3 billion shares. On December 8 the 180 day lockup expires entirely. And on June 12, 2027 comes the final wave, when Musk's own 6.4 billion shares, 42% of the whole company, become sellable for the first time. Add it all up and insiders could be free to sell as much as 44% of the company by early September, which would balloon the tradable float by roughly 900%. All of that supply lands on a stock the company deliberately packed with retail, because SpaceX reserved close to 30% of the offering for individual investors vs the usual 10%. This deal created over 4,400 paper millionaires inside the company. You think none of them are looking to cash out? Early holders are already loading up on puts to lock in what they have. First they keep the float tiny. Then they let the index rules force the world to buy at the top. Then they release a flood of insider stock into a crowd of retail buyers who were handed the shares up high. When the price finally breaks the offering level, the people who got in years ago at pennies on today's dollar will hit the bid, and the exit liquidity is your retirement account. And what are you actually left holding? Strip away the science fiction and the only business inside SpaceX that reliably earns money is Starlink, which produced $1.2 billion of operating income last quarter. A wonderful business worth hundreds of billions on its best day. NOT $2 trillion. Serious fair value work lands around $30 a share. Nobody has been a bigger bear on this deal than me. I called it out the moment it started trading, and it is already playing out on schedule as the shares have given back the entire squeeze and slipped below their opening print. I was Peter Lynch's auto analyst back in 1981 and I have watched every disaster since, and I am telling you this is one of the great wealth transfers of my lifetime packed into a fancy narrative. Tesla was the biggest misallocation of capital in the history of stock markets. SpaceX may have just surpassed it. SPCX goes straight onto my short list, and the beauty of this setup is that the catalyst is not a guess or something, it is literally a PUBLISHED CALENDAR. This is the most grossly overpriced stock at scale that I have ever seen.$

140 of the biggest financial firms on Earth just teamed up to assassinate ONE company. The same company they helped BUILD for 7 years. BlackRock, Coinbase, Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BNY Mellon, and Google all showed up to sign the kill order: Yesterday, a consortium of over 140 financial firms launched a new stablecoin called Open USD. The target: Circle Internet Group, the $17 billion company behind USDC. Circle stock crashed 17.5% in a single trading session and closed near $62. It is now down more than 40% in 30 days from its May high of $138. But this is NOT a story about a competitor showing up... This is about a company getting assassinated by the exact partners it depended on to survive. Here is how deep the betrayal goes: Coinbase and Circle co-founded USDC together in 2018. They built the stablecoin as partners through the Centre Consortium. In 2024 alone, Circle paid Coinbase $908 million as a distribution fee for hosting USDC on the Coinbase platform. That revenue-sharing agreement expires in August 2026. Six weeks before that renewal, Coinbase publicly signed onto a project designed to make USDC obsolete. BlackRock literally manages Circle's reserves. The world's largest asset manager has been sitting on the $73.6 billion in US Treasuries backing USDC but joined a consortium built to redirect that interest income to other partners instead of Circle. BNY Mellon is Circle's custody bank. Same playbook here. Custody by day, competitor by night. And Open USD is launching natively on Base, which is Coinbase's own blockchain. Coinbase is literally constructing the rails to replace USDC on the chain Coinbase owns. And what makes it worse: 99% of Circle's 2024 revenue came from interest earned on those Treasury reserves. That is the entire business model. Take user dollars, park them in short-term T-bills, keep the yield. Open USD's pitch to the market is a single sentence: Partners keep the yield instead of Circle. Zero minting fees or redemption fees. Almost all the interest income flows back to the 140 companies distributing the coin. Every "partner" that gave Circle its network effect just realized they had been paying Circle to do something they could do themselves. The interim CEO of Open Standard is Zach Abrams, the co-founder of Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure firm Stripe acquired for $1.1 billion in 2024. Stripe's stablecoin acquisition is now running the coordinated hit against Circle as well. Circle's own CEO Jeremy Allaire went on the record calling USDC "the most trusted, widely adopted stablecoin globally" and welcoming the competition. That is the polite corporate translation for "our largest revenue-sharing partner just publicly announced they no longer need us." Citi projects the stablecoin market will hit $4 trillion by 2030. 140 companies looked at that number, looked at how much of it Circle was keeping, and coordinated to take it. The exchanges that gave USDC liquidity, the banks that gave USDC legitimacy, the card networks that gave USDC distribution, and the asset managers that gave USDC credibility... Every one of them spent years inside the walls before yesterday's public execution. The most successful crypto IPO of 2025 just got dismantled by the SAME names that built it. What do you think?

What if the U.S. starts buying Treasury bonds with ripple:native or RLUSD and puts them on the XRP Ledger? South Korea’s YTN just asked a question that sounds wild at first: “Buying U.S. Treasury Bonds with Crypto?” But when I started connecting it with what Scott Bessent, Ripple, RLUSD and the XRP Ledger are already doing, this stopped looking like some random crypto theory. The pieces are already sitting right in front of us. The United States has now crossed roughly $40 trillion in federal debt. That means the government constantly needs buyers for enormous amounts of Treasury securities. Not once. Again and again. Old debt matures. New debt gets issued. Short-term bills need buyers. Interest keeps getting paid. The whole system depends on keeping demand for U.S. government debt strong. And this is exactly where stablecoins suddenly become much more important than most people realize. Scott Bessent has already talked about stablecoins creating more demand for U.S. Treasuries. The logic is actually simple. A regulated dollar stablecoin needs real assets behind it. Under the GENIUS Act framework, stablecoins are backed 1:1 by eligible high-quality reserves such as cash, short-term Treasuries, Treasury-backed repo and government money-market funds. So when stablecoins grow, their reserve pools grow too. And when those reserves include Treasury bills, stablecoin adoption can create another source of demand for U.S. government debt. That means crypto growth does not have to weaken the dollar. It can actually create another global buyer base for dollar assets. That completely changes how I look at RLUSD. RLUSD is not just another dollar token sitting beside USDC and other stablecoins. Ripple’s own RLUSD reserve structure already allows short-term U.S. Treasury bills with three months or less remaining maturity, overnight reverse repos backed by Treasuries, U.S. government money-market funds and bank deposits. Think about what that means. If RLUSD grows, the pool of assets backing RLUSD grows. If RLUSD becomes a major institutional stablecoin, Ripple’s ecosystem can become a major holder of the same short-term government assets the U.S. Treasury needs constant demand for. Imagine RLUSD at $10 billion. Then $25 billion. Then $50 billion. Then $100 billion. The bigger the supply becomes, the bigger the reserve base behind it becomes. And part of that reserve base can be short-term U.S. government debt. That already gives Ripple a direct connection to the exact stablecoin-Treasury thesis Scott Bessent has been talking about. But this is where it gets even more interesting. Ripple is not stopping at Treasuries backing RLUSD. Treasuries themselves are already being brought onto the XRP Ledger. Ondo Finance launched OUSG on XRPL. OUSG gives qualified institutional investors exposure to short-term U.S. government Treasuries. And what can institutions use to mint and redeem that Treasury exposure on XRPL? RLUSD. That means this architecture already exists: RLUSD ↓ tokenized U.S. Treasury exposure ↓ OUSG ↓ XRP Ledger This is the part that really gets me. We are not imagining some future where Ripple eventually connects stablecoins with U.S. Treasuries. That connection is already being built. You have Treasury assets sitting behind the digital dollar. Then you also have Treasury products represented directly on the blockchain. And both can interact through the same ecosystem. That gives Ripple two different positions inside the Treasury market. First: Treasuries can back RLUSD. Second: Treasuries can themselves be tokenized on XRPL. That means Ripple could potentially sit on both sides of a new digital Treasury market. Digital cash on one side. Digital U.S. government debt on the other. XRP Ledger between them. And ripple:native sitting underneath the network as the native asset and potential bridge between different pools of liquidity. That is a much bigger story than “Ripple has a stablecoin.” Ripple has also committed $10 million to OpenEden’s tokenized U.S. Treasury-bill product on XRPL. That tells me Ripple clearly understands where this is going. They are not waiting for tokenized Treasuries to become a trend. They have already put capital behind bringing those products directly onto XRP Ledger. Then you have Guggenheim Treasury Services. Ripple highlighted digital commercial paper administered by Guggenheim Treasury Services on XRPL. That instrument is secured by U.S. Treasuries and carries a Prime-1 Moody’s rating. Now step back and look at what is forming. RLUSD. Ondo OUSG. OpenEden Treasury bills. Guggenheim Treasury Services. Tokenized fixed income. Institutional custody. Ripple Prime. Ripple Payments. XRP Ledger. ripple:native. All of these pieces are starting to sit inside the same financial stack. That is why I think people are looking at the $40 trillion U.S. debt problem from the wrong angle when they only ask: “How will America ever pay this?” The more interesting question for me is: How will America keep finding buyers for trillions of dollars of government debt while modernizing the financial system at the same time? Stablecoins can help create buyers. Tokenization can help create distribution. Blockchain can help create 24/7 settlement. And Ripple is building in all three areas. Imagine how Treasury investing works for a normal global institution today. You may need banking relationships. Custody. Brokerage. Settlement infrastructure. Different accounts. Different systems. Different operating hours. Now imagine Treasury exposure existing directly on XRPL. The investor can hold RLUSD. Move into tokenized Treasury exposure. Redeem back into RLUSD. Move the dollar liquidity somewhere else. Do it around the clock. That is a completely different experience. Treasuries stop being something that only sits inside old databases. They become programmable financial assets. That matters because America does not just need Treasuries to exist. America needs Treasuries to remain attractive. Liquid. Easy to buy. Easy to hold. Easy to use. Easy to move. And eventually, easy to use as collateral. That is where tokenization becomes much bigger than simply putting a bond onchain. Imagine buying a tokenized Treasury and then using it as collateral. Borrowing against it. Moving it between institutions. Settling it against digital dollars. Redeploying that liquidity instantly. Now a Treasury is no longer just something you buy and wait for. It becomes a working financial asset. And the more useful Treasuries become, the more reasons global institutions have to hold them. This is why the XRP Ledger piece matters. XRPL can become infrastructure where those assets move. RLUSD can become the digital cash side. Then ripple:native can become the neutral liquidity layer between all the different assets and currencies touching that network. Because the future XRPL does not have to contain only RLUSD and Treasury products. Imagine it contains: RLUSD. Tokenized Treasuries. EUR stablecoins. MXN stablecoins. Tokenized deposits. Money-market funds. Commercial paper. Foreign government debt. Private credit. Different institutions will hold different assets. Different countries will use different currencies. That creates a liquidity problem. You cannot expect every possible asset pair to have a massive direct market. A Japanese institution may start with yen liquidity. A European institution may need euros. A Mexican institution may need pesos. A U.S. institution may need RLUSD. A Treasury fund may need to move into cash. This is where ripple:native becomes much more interesting. XRP can potentially sit in the middle as the bridge. Asset A → ripple:native → Asset B. So imagine a Japanese bank wants $1 billion worth of tokenized U.S. Treasury exposure. It starts with Japanese liquidity. The route could eventually become: JPY ↓ ripple:native ↓ RLUSD ↓ tokenized Treasury Then later that institution wants to exit. Tokenized Treasury ↓ RLUSD ↓ ripple:native ↓ JPY Now imagine the same thing happening from Europe. -South Korea. -Singapore. -Hong Kong. -UAE. -Mexico. -Brazil. The United States gets another global distribution channel for its debt. Ripple gets institutional activity. XRPL gets settlement volume. RLUSD gets dollar demand. And ripple:native can become part of the liquidity connecting all of those markets. That is where this gets much bigger than payments. Because once tokenized Treasuries become collateral, you are no longer only talking about buying and selling government debt. You are talking about credit. -Repo. -Margin. -Working capital. -Liquidity management. -Treasury management. -Institutional trading. Imagine a company holds $2 billion in tokenized Treasuries on XRPL. It suddenly needs $500 million of liquidity. Instead of selling everything and moving through multiple systems, it uses the Treasury position as collateral. Receives RLUSD. Then converts part of that liquidity into another currency through ripple:native. Now ripple:native is sitting in the middle of: -money -government debt -FX -credit -collateral That is a completely different role from people simply trading XRP on an exchange. And Ripple has been building the institutional infrastructure around that role. Ripple Prime gives Ripple a connection into professional capital markets. Ripple Custody gives institutions infrastructure for holding digital assets. Ripple Payments handles movement. RLUSD provides regulated dollar liquidity. XRPL handles tokenization and settlement. ripple:native sits natively underneath the ledger. When I put all of that beside what Scott Bessent is saying about stablecoins and Treasuries, I cannot ignore the alignment. The U.S. wants stronger global demand for dollars. Stablecoins can extend dollars onto digital rails. The U.S. wants buyers for Treasury bills. Stablecoin reserves can become buyers. The U.S. wants more efficient capital markets. Tokenized Treasuries can make those assets easier to move and use. Ripple already has a regulated stablecoin. RLUSD already has Treasury-eligible reserve assets. XRPL already has tokenized Treasury products. RLUSD already interacts with OUSG. Ripple has already backed OpenEden Treasury infrastructure. Guggenheim Treasury Services already has Treasury-secured digital commercial paper on XRPL. This is not one random announcement. It is a system starting to form. And there is another point I think is being missed. The bullish XRP thesis does not require the U.S. dollar to fail. I actually think the opposite scenario is much stronger. Imagine the dollar becomes even more dominant because regulated stablecoins make it easier for anyone in the world to hold and move digital dollars. Those stablecoins create more demand for U.S. Treasuries. Treasuries themselves become tokenized. Global investors buy them 24/7. And ripple:native becomes one of the liquidity assets connecting those digital dollars and Treasury products to currencies around the world. In that world: the dollar wins. Treasuries win. Ripple wins. XRPL wins. And ripple:native gets a much bigger liquidity role. That is why the GENIUS Act matters here too. The framework is pushing stablecoins toward regulated 1:1 reserve structures. Bessent has talked about stablecoins strengthening dollar dominance. Ripple already has RLUSD. RLUSD is issued through a New York-regulated structure. BNY is the primary custodian for RLUSD reserves. That is serious financial infrastructure. It means Ripple is not building some completely separate parallel monetary system. It is building directly around the same regulated dollar and Treasury framework Washington is encouraging. And that is what makes this thesis so powerful to me. The path does not need to be: America abandons the dollar. America adopts XRP. That sounds unrealistic and honestly misses the point. The much bigger setup is: America keeps the dollar. America keeps Treasuries. Stablecoins make the dollar more digital. Tokenization makes Treasuries more accessible. Ripple builds the infrastructure around both. And ripple:native connects them to the rest of the global financial system. That is a completely different level of adoption. Now take this to the highly bullish scenario. Imagine the global stablecoin market reaches $3 trillion. RLUSD becomes one of the major institutional stablecoins. Maybe it reaches $100 billion or more in circulation. That means an enormous reserve pool exists behind it. Part of that reserve base holds short-term Treasury securities, Treasury-backed repo and government money-market instruments. Ripple becomes a major private-sector participant in short-term U.S. government debt demand. At the same time, tokenized Treasury products on XRPL grow from where they are today into tens of billions. Then hundreds of billions. Global asset managers start holding Treasury exposure directly on XRPL. Banks use RLUSD to enter and exit those positions. Treasuries get used as collateral. Institutions borrow against them. Ripple Prime connects the professional market. Ripple Custody holds the assets. XRPL settles them. Then currencies from around the world need to enter and exit that system. That is where ripple:native can explode in importance. Market makers need XRP inventory. Liquidity providers need deeper XRP books. Banks need larger settlement capacity. More XRP sits inside institutional liquidity operations. The amount of financial value that needs to move through the system keeps increasing. And suddenly the market has to ask a very different question: Is the current dollar value of ripple:native large enough to provide liquidity for this kind of financial system? Imagine $100 billion of tokenized Treasuries. Then $500 billion. Then trillions of tokenized fixed income across XRPL and connected markets. Imagine RLUSD at $100 billion. Imagine global currencies continuously moving in and out. At that point, the amount of liquidity required looks nothing like today's crypto market. A higher ripple:native price means every unit can represent more dollar value. That gives liquidity providers more settlement capacity without needing absurd quantities of XRP for every transaction. That is why I see price and liquidity eventually becoming connected. The bigger the financial system that XRP is asked to connect, the deeper the dollar value of XRP liquidity needs to become. The full loop could look like this: U.S. debt keeps growing ↓ Treasury needs more buyers ↓ stablecoins expand ↓ stablecoin issuers buy more short-term Treasury assets ↓ RLUSD grows ↓ Treasury products become tokenized ↓ XRPL captures more of those assets ↓ global investors enter through RLUSD ↓ more global currencies connect ↓ ripple:native bridges fragmented liquidity ↓ market makers need more XRP inventory ↓ Ripple Prime expands institutional liquidity ↓ XRPL becomes deeper financial infrastructure ↓ ripple:native represents more value inside that system ↓ price reprices higher. That is the scenario I keep coming back to. Because the wild part is that the starting pieces already exist. RLUSD already has Treasury-eligible reserves. Scott Bessent already sees stablecoins as a potential source of Treasury demand. The GENIUS Act already created the regulatory direction. Ondo OUSG already exists on XRP Ledger. RLUSD already provides an entry and redemption path for that Treasury exposure. Ripple already committed $10 million to OpenEden Treasury products. Guggenheim Treasury Services already has Treasury-secured fixed income on XRPL. BNY already sits behind RLUSD reserve custody. Ripple already has Prime, Payments and Custody. So when YTN asks: “Buying U.S. Treasury Bonds with Crypto?” I do not read that as some distant fantasy anymore. I look at the infrastructure being built and think: What happens when the world's largest government debt market meets regulated stablecoins, tokenized securities and 24/7 blockchain settlement? And what happens if XRP Ledger becomes one of the rails carrying it? That is the part people should be thinking about. Because the real ripple:native thesis may not be about replacing the dollar at all. It may be about becoming the liquidity layer underneath a stronger, more digital dollar system. RLUSD can bring dollars onchain. Tokenized Treasuries can bring U.S. debt onchain. XRPL can become the marketplace and settlement layer. And ripple:native can connect that system to the rest of the world. If that scales into trillions, we are no longer talking about XRP as just another crypto asset. We are talking about ripple:native sitting inside the liquidity architecture connecting digital dollars, U.S. government debt, FX, collateral and global institutional capital. That is the scenario I am watching. You?

What if the U.S. starts buying Treasury bonds with ripple:native or RLUSD and puts them on the XRP Ledger? South Korea’s YTN just asked a question that sounds wild at first: “Buying U.S. Treasury Bonds with Crypto?” But when I started connecting it with what Scott Bessent, Ripple, RLUSD and the XRP Ledger are already doing, this stopped looking like some random crypto theory. The pieces are already sitting right in front of us. The United States has now crossed roughly $40 trillion in federal debt. That means the government constantly needs buyers for enormous amounts of Treasury securities. Not once. Again and again. Old debt matures. New debt gets issued. Short-term bills need buyers. Interest keeps getting paid. The whole system depends on keeping demand for U.S. government debt strong. And this is exactly where stablecoins suddenly become much more important than most people realize. Scott Bessent has already talked about stablecoins creating more demand for U.S. Treasuries. The logic is actually simple. A regulated dollar stablecoin needs real assets behind it. Under the GENIUS Act framework, stablecoins are backed 1:1 by eligible high-quality reserves such as cash, short-term Treasuries, Treasury-backed repo and government money-market funds. So when stablecoins grow, their reserve pools grow too. And when those reserves include Treasury bills, stablecoin adoption can create another source of demand for U.S. government debt. That means crypto growth does not have to weaken the dollar. It can actually create another global buyer base for dollar assets. That completely changes how I look at RLUSD. RLUSD is not just another dollar token sitting beside USDC and other stablecoins. Ripple’s own RLUSD reserve structure already allows short-term U.S. Treasury bills with three months or less remaining maturity, overnight reverse repos backed by Treasuries, U.S. government money-market funds and bank deposits. Think about what that means. If RLUSD grows, the pool of assets backing RLUSD grows. If RLUSD becomes a major institutional stablecoin, Ripple’s ecosystem can become a major holder of the same short-term government assets the U.S. Treasury needs constant demand for. Imagine RLUSD at $10 billion. Then $25 billion. Then $50 billion. Then $100 billion. The bigger the supply becomes, the bigger the reserve base behind it becomes. And part of that reserve base can be short-term U.S. government debt. That already gives Ripple a direct connection to the exact stablecoin-Treasury thesis Scott Bessent has been talking about. But this is where it gets even more interesting. Ripple is not stopping at Treasuries backing RLUSD. Treasuries themselves are already being brought onto the XRP Ledger. Ondo Finance launched OUSG on XRPL. OUSG gives qualified institutional investors exposure to short-term U.S. government Treasuries. And what can institutions use to mint and redeem that Treasury exposure on XRPL? RLUSD. That means this architecture already exists: RLUSD ↓ tokenized U.S. Treasury exposure ↓ OUSG ↓ XRP Ledger This is the part that really gets me.

2025 reflected a year of coordinated execution. As products expanded and new markets came online, the underlying platform continued to strengthen in step. Here’s what we built in the past 365 days 👇 Launching New Products The Gemini Credit Card evolved with the release of the Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, and American Business versions of the card, allowing our US customers to earn rewards in crypto, and additional benefits for businesses.* We launched the Gemini Wallet, giving users a powerful self-custody wallet to have more control over their digital assets and manage their finances onchain. In the European Union (EU), Gemini launched Tokenized Stocks**, bringing the world’s leading equities onto the blockchain with zero trading fees. We added Gemini Perpetuals** in the EU, putting the power of crypto derivatives with up to 100x leverage in the hands of advanced traders, and have continued to expand the number of perpetual contracts available – opening up new trading opportunities in memecoins, DeFi, and beyond. In Europe, users gained the ability to stake*** their ETH and SOL, unlocking the potential to earn rewards of up to 6% APR**** on their holdings. In Singapore, we launched Index Perpetual Contracts and expanded the available cross collateral funding options. We also made funding faster for Singapore users by adding PayNow and FAST. We introduced USD rails to our UK institutional customers, giving them more flexibility in the ways they can trade. Institutional Leadership We strengthened our leadership in institutional custody, including custodying Empery Digital’s $500 million BTC placement and facilitated their bitcoin purchases and derivatives trades. We also introduced the ability to stake SOL from custody for our institutional partners. We worked with Glassnode to produce the Bitcoin Adoption, Volatility, and Market Cap report, showing that bitcoin treasuries now control nearly a third of Bitcoin’s total supply. Company Milestones & Regulation After an IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange in September, Gemini became a publicly traded company. This year also marked a turning point for Gemini’s global ambitions. In October, Gemini launched in Australia and became AUSTRAC registered to bring industry-leading crypto tools to users down under. We also expanded further into the country by adding AUD banking rails for faster payments and deposits.

2025 reflected a year of coordinated execution. As products expanded and new markets came online, the underlying platform continued to strengthen in step. Here’s what we built in the past 365 days 👇 Launching New Products The Gemini Credit Card evolved with the release of the Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, and American Business versions of the card, allowing our US customers to earn rewards in crypto, and additional benefits for businesses.* We launched the Gemini Wallet, giving users a powerful self-custody wallet to have more control over their digital assets and manage their finances onchain. In the European Union (EU), Gemini launched Tokenized Stocks, bringing the world’s leading equities onto the blockchain with zero trading fees. We added Gemini Perpetuals in the EU, putting the power of crypto derivatives with up to 100x leverage in the hands of advanced traders, and have continued to expand the number of perpetual contracts available – opening up new trading opportunities in memecoins, DeFi, and beyond. In Europe, users gained the ability to stake* their ETH and SOL, unlocking the potential to earn rewards of up to 6% APR** on their holdings. In Singapore, we launched Index Perpetual Contracts and expanded the available cross collateral funding options. We also made funding faster for Singapore users by adding PayNow and FAST. We introduced USD rails to our UK institutional customers, giving them more flexibility in the ways they can trade. Institutional Leadership We strengthened our leadership in institutional custody, including custodying Empery Digital’s $500 million BTC placement and facilitated their bitcoin purchases and derivatives trades. We also introduced the ability to stake SOL from custody for our institutional partners. We worked with Glassnode to produce the Bitcoin Adoption, Volatility, and Market Cap report, showing that bitcoin treasuries now control nearly a third of Bitcoin’s total supply. Company Milestones & Regulation After an IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange in September, Gemini became a publicly traded company. This year also marked a turning point for Gemini’s global ambitions. In October, Gemini launched in Australia and became AUSTRAC registered to bring industry-leading crypto tools to users down under. We also expanded further into the country by adding AUD banking rails for faster payments and deposits. We opened new offices around the world, including London, hosting an opening party with people from across the industry to celebrate. We also grew our customer service operations with a new office in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the EU, we obtained our Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) and Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) licences, allowing us to bring our services to millions more across the region.

Tomorrow a company that holds close to 5% of all ethereum is set to join the russell 1000. Once done, index funds that have never had an opinion on crypto will be forced to buy it. Nobody in those funds chose this, a benchmark rule did it for them 👇 ◢ How index inclusion actually works Getting added to a major index is one of the strongest demand events in markets, and it has nothing to do with whether the company is good. Funds that track the russell 1000 have to hold what the russell 1000 holds, or they stop tracking it. So, when a stock joins, every passive fund benchmarked to that index becomes a forced buyer, at whatever the price is, on the schedule the index sets. Passive vehicles tend to hold something like 20 to 25% of a large-cap stock, which for this one points to roughly $2B of buying that arrives because a rule says it must. ◢ The part that makes it crypto Bitmine is not a normal company that happens to get indexed, it's an ethereum treasury, sitting on millions of $ETH as its core balance sheet. So the chain runs like this: the index adds the stock, passive funds are forced to buy the stock, and the stock is essentially a wrapper around a giant pile of ETH. The result is that ordinary equity index money ends up with ethereum exposure without a single person deciding they wanted it. No ETF approval, allocation vote or opinion required. ◢ A side door, not a front door Everyone in crypto watches the spot ETF as the official entrance for institutional money, the thing that needs sign-off and gets headlines. Index inclusion is the entrance nobody guards. strategy walked a bitcoin treasury into the nasdaq 100. Coinbase took a crypto exchange into the s&p 500. now an ethereum treasury is stepping into the russell 1000. Each time, the underlying business didn't change. what changed is who was suddenly required to own it. ◢ Why front-running it is harder than it looks The mechanism is concrete, but the easy trade around it usually isn't. The inclusion isn't final until the reconstitution actually closes, so the flow is conditional, not guaranteed. The stock is already down around 50% on the year, which is a reminder that a one-time wave of buying doesn't repair something tied to ETH's price and to confidence in the treasury model. And there's a quieter problem: "diversified" index funds are now obligated to hold a leveraged, single-asset crypto bet that most of their investors would never have picked on purpose. What it means that the biggest new buyer of a crypto-linked company is a rule, not a person, and that millions of people now hold a slice of ethereum because an index told their fund to?

Big Tech just forced the US government into bailing ITSELF out. This morning the US Treasury announced it will at least double the size of its own bond buybacks, because for two months almost nobody else wanted them. The 30-year Treasury bond hit its highest yield since 2007 last Thursday, then did it again yesterday. The long end has been in a buyers' strike since late June, meaning the pension funds and insurers who normally absorb 20 and 30 year government paper stopped showing up. This morning it auctioned $16 billion of 20-year debt at the second-worst yield since that bond was reintroduced in 2020. So the Treasury tore up a schedule it had published two weeks earlier. It doubled the maximum size of each long-bond buyback from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, and went from two operations a quarter to four. The 30-year yield fell 9 basis points within minutes. Stocks rallied. By early afternoon the 10-year had given almost all of it back. BUT the thing is, this operation changes almost nothing, because the underlying problem is untouched: The tidal wave of hyperscaler debt sitting on top of very large government deficits. Hyperscaler means Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle and Nvidia. The Wall Street Journal went through the footnotes of 9 tech companies' filings on Sunday and found roughly $3 TRILLION in AI commitments sitting outside their balance sheets. That is 5x the $600 billion of capital spending those same companies reported over the past year. Alphabet alone discloses $811 billion in purchase and contractual obligations. Three months earlier it was $332 billion. All of it has to be funded somewhere. And this is where it collides with the government: Data centers, chip supply agreements and 20-year power contracts are long-duration assets, and long-duration assets get financed with long-duration debt. That is the exact product the US Treasury sells. There is a finite pool of investors willing to lend money for 30 years at a fixed rate. That pool does not get bigger because Meta needs another campus in Louisiana. So when the largest companies in history issue hundreds of billions of long-dated debt at the same moment the Treasury needs to roll a national debt approaching $40 trillion, both sides are bidding for the SAME buyers. One of those bidders can offer whatever yield it takes and book it as growth. The other one is the US government, and this morning it folded. Treasury does not create money for these buybacks. It funds them by issuing shorter-dated debt instead, so the obligation does not disappear. It gets pulled closer to the present, to be refinanced at whatever rate exists in a year or two. The government is buying back the debt nobody wants by selling more of the debt people still take. The 30-year Treasury yield is the number that prices your mortgage. The average 30-year fixed sits at 6.67% today. But there IS a real argument on the other side: Buybacks are routine, and $4 billion is nothing against a $30 trillion market. Plenty of serious people will call today housekeeping. But housekeeping shouldn’t require tearing up your own published schedule two weeks after you release it. The AI buildout is now financed at a scale that competes with sovereign borrowing, and the sovereign is losing bidders. Nobody voted on that, and people will pay for it in their mortgage rate long before anyone calls it a crisis. What do you think?

Sharing My Journey Trading Memecoins on Solana (1 Year 4 Months In) I’ll also be doing a giveaway 0.5 SOL each to 3 lucky winners ( 48 hours ). The rules are simple: Repost and Share your trading experience on Solana (memecoins or utility coins) and tell me your biggest profit and biggest loss in the comment below. Alright, now it’s time for us to get back to the story. I wanna share my personal experience trading memecoins (and some utility plays) on Solana over the past 1 year and 4 months. Before that, I was pretty active on Ethereum since around 2020. So what made me switch to Solana ? It started when someone from my private group pointed out the potential of Solana, the speed, the low fees, and how early the ecosystem still felt at the time. Funny thing is, I actually heard about Solana when it was already at $80, but I didn’t really touch it until it hit around $100, and I started with 20 SOL as capital. It was sometime around February 2024 (don’t remember the exact date), when I first tried trading memecoins on Solana. Back then, wasn’t even popping yet, most devs were still launching manually. No fancy bots, no real token scanners, just pure risk. ( Correct me if I’m wrong about when first launched. ) Honestly, in the beginning, it was tough. New tokens popping up every second, rugs left and right, Solana was in hype mode, and everyone wanted to launch something. But by April, things started to click. I was finally making profits trading Solana coins, memecoins, lowcap utilities, all that. If I compare it to now, I’d say it was way easier back then to catch early entries. Not even exaggerating, 100x plays were way more common. I will put sneak peek of some of my PnL from my personal channel, Of course, it’s not as simple anymore with today’s market; Bundles everywhere, token farming systems, launch metas changing fast… Back then? It was cleaner. Simpler. Honestly, better. Through all this, I’ve always had one dream: To help people who are truly serious about learning the game. That’s why I started Bollish Research , a place for real ones to learn and grow in this space. From the very beginning of Bollish Academy until now, we’ve built the Bollish Research team through real work and honestly, quite a few people have been cut along the way. The older I get, the more I realize the value of staying low key… of building a tight circle and only letting the right people in. You can be open, honest, and real, but still know that not everyone deserves a seat at your table. I’ve come to realize this right now, all I want is to grind hard, make a lot of money, and make the people who’ve stood by me from day one proud. The ones who were there when I was nothing, all the way to who I am now. I wanna help people in need too, using the profits from my trading, because I’ve never had any intention of launching paid classes or any of that bullshit. So if you’re reading this, listen. Most of the time there is no support system, it's just you and your grind. So believe in yourself. Motivate yourself. Celebrate your small wins. Pray to God that you will make it. Don’t lose hope. Stay focused. Stay consistent. Be disciplined. If you wanna see my PnL, you can check it out below or you can join my Journey Channel ( ) Thanks for reading. I love you all

This is the most SHAMELESS structural manipulation of a major index I've ever seen. SpaceX is preparing what could be the largest IPO in history. Target valuation: $1.75 trillion. That would make it the sixth-largest company in America on day one. And Nasdaq wants the listing so badly they're literally CHANGING how the Nasdaq-100 works. In February, Nasdaq published a "consultation" proposing sweeping changes to how companies enter the index. The timing is pure coincidence, of course. Just like it's pure coincidence that SpaceX has reportedly made fast index inclusion a CONDITION of listing on Nasdaq. Here's what they're proposing: A new "Fast Entry" rule would let any newly listed company whose market cap ranks in the top 40 of current Nasdaq-100 members get added to the index after just 15 trading days. No seasoning period. No liquidity requirements. Completely exempt from the standards every other company had to meet. Currently, new public companies typically wait up to a year before they're eligible for major index inclusion. That waiting period exists for a reason. It lets the market establish real price discovery. It protects passive investors from being forced into untested, illiquid stocks. And Nasdaq wants to throw all of that out. For ONE listing. But the Fast Entry rule isn't even the worst part... The real scandal is the 5x float multiplier. Right now, the S&P 500 uses a free-float adjusted methodology. If only 5% of a company's shares are available for public trading, the index weights you at 5% of total market cap. That's common sense. You weight a company based on what investors can actually buy. Nasdaq's current methodology already uses total market cap rather than free-float for weighting. But for very low-float stocks, they at least had a 10% minimum float threshold. Under the new proposal, that threshold DISAPPEARS entirely. Instead, any stock with less than 20% free float gets weighted at FIVE TIMES its actual float percentage, capped at 100%. Do the math on SpaceX: If SpaceX IPOs at $1.75 trillion and floats 5% of its shares, there would be roughly $87.5 billion worth of stock available for public trading. Under Nasdaq's proposed 5x multiplier, the index would weight SpaceX at 25% of its total market cap. That means passive funds would be forced to buy as if SpaceX were a $437.5 billion company. But only $87.5 billion of stock actually exists in the market. You are forcing hundreds of billions in passive buying into a $87.5 billion float. QQQ alone manages nearly $400 billion. The total Nasdaq-100 ecosystem represents over $1.4 trillion in exposure across ETFs, mutual funds, structured notes, and derivatives. Every single passive vehicle tracking this index would be REQUIRED to buy SpaceX at whatever price the market dictates. On Day 15. With zero price discovery. Zero track record as a public company. And a float so thin you could read through it. So what this actually does is it creates a structural wealth transfer mechanism. The passive bid from index funds pushes the stock price higher. That higher price benefits exactly one group of people: the insiders and early investors who own the other 95% of the shares. And when lock-up periods expire 90 to 180 days later? Those insiders sell into the artificially inflated passive bid. Your 401(k) is the exit liquidity. This is the fundamental corruption of indexing. Indexing used to be brilliant. Low cost. Efficient. You were free-riding on the price discovery done by active managers. The index reflected the market. Now the index IS the market. Trillions of dollars flow blindly into whatever the index tells them to buy. And the people who control the index methodology are changing the rules to serve the interests of a single IPO candidate. The S&P 500 requires companies to have at least 50% of shares available for public trading. It requires 6 to 12 months of seasoning. It uses free-float adjusted weighting so passive investors aren't buying phantom liquidity. Nasdaq is doing the exact opposite. 15 days. No float requirement. 5x multiplier on insider-held shares. Every passive investor in QQQ, QQQM, and every fund benchmarked to the Nasdaq-100 should understand what's about to happen: The rules are being rewritten to benefit IPO issuers and early-stage insiders, and your capital is the tool being USED to enrich them. 45 years in this business and I've watched Wall Street find creative new ways to separate retail investors from their money in every cycle. But usually they at least try to be subtle about it. This one they put in a PDF and called it a "consultation." What's your take?

You were free-riding on the price discovery done by active managers. The index reflected the market. Now the index IS the market. Trillions of dollars flow blindly into whatever the index tells them to buy. And the people who control the index methodology are changing the rules to serve the interests of a single IPO candidate. The S&P 500 requires companies to have at least 50% of shares available for public trading. It requires 6 to 12 months of seasoning. It uses free-float adjusted weighting so passive investors aren't buying phantom liquidity. Nasdaq is doing the exact opposite. 15 days. No float requirement. 5x multiplier on insider-held shares. Every passive investor in QQQ, QQQM, and every fund benchmarked to the Nasdaq-100 should understand what's about to happen: The rules are being rewritten to benefit IPO issuers and early-stage insiders, and your capital is the tool being USED to enrich them. 45 years in this business and I've watched Wall Street find creative new ways to separate retail investors from their money in every cycle. But usually they at least try to be subtle about it. This one they put in a PDF and called it a "consultation." What's your take?

🚨 THE SPACEX PUMP JUST ARMED THE INSIDER SELL BUTTON. And almost nobody buying at $178 knows it. Here's what's actually happening. SpaceX IPO'd at $135 on June 12, eight days later it's at $178. Everyone is calling it the trade of the decade. Nobody is reading the fine print. 95% of shares are still locked. You're trading on 5% of total supply. A $2.35 trillion valuation set by a sliver of float that can be moved by relatively thin volume. Thin float pumps easy. It dumps the same way. Now the part that should concern everyone buying right now. There's a clause buried in the lockup agreement. An early unlock triggers automatically if the stock holds 30% above the $135 IPO price. 30% above $135 is $175.50. The stock is at $178. The rally didn't just create paper gains. It activated the mechanism that lets insiders sell early. Then the calendar gets worse. Late July into August first insider shares hit the market around Q2 earnings. December 8 - full 180-day lockup expires in tranches. June 2027 - Musk's 6.4 billion personal shares come free. A wall of supply, on a fixed schedule, already counting down. We've seen this exact movie before. Facebook IPO'd at $38 in 2012, Lockups expired. Four months later it was trading at $18. Half the value erased not because the company failed. Because supply showed up and buyers ran out. Now the math on SpaceX. $2.35 trillion valuation. $18.7 billion in 2025 revenue. 125x sales. And Musk's own projection for $1 trillion in revenue is dated "maybe by 2030." You're paying for that today In full Four years early. So ask yourself one question. Who is on the other side of your buy at $178? People who got in at $40. At $60. At $90. Insiders sitting on 3x, 4x, 5x gains who have been waiting years for exactly this window. They don't need the price higher. They need buyers to sell into. Right now that buyer is you. The rockets are real. The company is real. The technology is real. The trap is also real. At $178 you're either early to the exit or you are the exit. I called the SPX drops before they happened. I called BTC's top at $126K. I called the dump from $126K to $60K - publicly, before it moved. Every major call this cycle on the record, before the fact. The next ones are already loading. Follow now and turn on notifications. The unlock clock is already running - and when it hits, you'll want to have seen this post first.

Zebec Protocol has taken 2026 by storm... Zebec Network (Zebec Network) describes itself as "rails for real-time finance." In simple terms, this means the protocol allows individuals and organizations to transfer funds instantaneously (be it payroll, contractor payments, or benefits) using both traditional systems, such as ACH and FedNow, and blockchain in a single package. This year, Zebec has gone from a promising concept to an institution-backed protocol. Here is an overview: Progress in Institutional Adoption and Compliance 1.) Innovation of Zebec Payments within Nacha: Zebec applied late in 2025 and was confirmed as a member in early 2026, belonging to the same cohort as Circle. 2.) Compliance with ISO 20022: This is a universal banking message format standard (just like SWIFT). Aligning with it ensures that Zebec can "speak the same language" as major financial institutions. 3.) NatPay Integration: NatPay settles about $158–$170 billion worth of ACH transactions each year through hundreds of thousands of clients. Integration with Zebec enables businesses to pay employees via legacy banking and instantaneous blockchain streaming services... 4.) Stellar Integration: Stellar appointed Zebec as its preferred infrastructure partner for stablecoin payroll – Zebec's first major implementation off of Solana. 5.) AllUnity (AllUnity) partnership (June 25, 2026): AllUnity selected Zebec as the infrastructure partner to provide an on-chain government benefits scheme in Europe, leveraging their regulated euro stablecoin (EURAU). 6.) Velo Protocol partnership: Velo Official has partnered exclusively with Zebec as their card and infrastructure partner for their settlement layer connecting with Zebec's card solutions. 7.) Institutional Compliance Initiative: The wider effort involving MiCA (crypto regulations in the EU) preparations, on-chain treasury buybacks, and enterprise integrations. Product Launches & Upgrades 1.) Zebec SuperApp: Desktop release in late February 2026; iOS and Android versions launched on July 13, 2026. 2.) Enterprise Payroll payout via Stellar: Allows employees to turn their crypto salary into local currency in more than 50 countries through integration with MoneyGram. 3.) New assets available: USD1, tGBP (a stablecoin pegged to the UK pound), DASH, and EURAU 4.) Onboarding employee capabilities: Custom-made wallets, including Tangem hardware/NFC card and Privy wallet stack in order to help non-crypto-savvy employees. 5.) Privacy: Early-stage integrations looking into Aleo (private cards/payments) and mentions of the Canton privacy solution. Key Numbers to Know - ~250 enterprise clients using Zebec's payroll and payment tools - 100,000+ $ZBCN token holders - 40+ white-label card partners - 15+ blockchains supported for cards and payments - ~$65 million rolling annualized card transaction volume (from earlier updates) - Cards available in dozens of countries, with tens of thousands issued and hundreds of thousands of transactions processed

Wall Street is running the same trade two Nobel Prize winners used to nearly destroy the global financial system. The Fed's OWN economists know it. They literally wrote a paper about it and named the paper after the fund that blew up. It's called "LTCM Redux?" and it ran in the Journal of Financial Economics. Here's what they are worried about repeating: Long-Term Capital Management launched in 1994 under John Meriwether, formerly head of bond trading at Salomon Brothers. Myron Scholes and Robert Merton sat on the board and won the 1997 Nobel Prize in Economics while the fund was running. A former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board was a partner. It returned 20% in its first year, 43% in the second, and 41% in the third. The strategy was to find nearly identical bonds priced slightly differently and bet the gap would close. The gaps were pennies, so the only way to make real money was to borrow enormous amounts against them. Entering 1998 the fund had $4.8 billion of its own capital, had borrowed more than $125 billion, and held derivatives with a notional value above $1 trillion. At the end of 1997 the partners handed capital back to investors without cutting their positions to match, which pushed their leverage higher still. Then Russia defaulted in August 1998. Money ran for safety, the gaps that were supposed to close widened instead, and every position moved against them at once. Equity fell from $4.8 billion to $2.3 billion by the first of September. Roughly $4.6 billion evaporated in under four months. On September 23 the New York Fed put 14 firms in one room and did not let them leave. By six that evening they had committed $3.6 billion and taken 90% of the fund. The Fed itself lent nothing. Those 14 firms were LTCM's own lenders, and a forced sale of more than a trillion dollars in positions into a market with no buyers would have torn through their balance sheets first. Even with the rescue in place, the chairman of Union Bank of Switzerland resigned over a $780 million loss on options it had written on the fund. And the ending of that story is what makes it matter now: The banks were repaid in full by 2000 and nobody was charged with anything. Meriwether raised a new fund the following year. The lesson the market took away was that when a leveraged fund gets big enough to threaten the plumbing, somebody convenes a room. That precedent is now sitting underneath the largest bond market on Earth. Hedge funds held $2.4 trillion of US Treasuries at the end of last year, financed with about $1.8 trillion of borrowed money in the repo market. The cash-futures basis trade alone reached $830 billion as of last September, close to double its previous peak. Leverage on it commonly runs 50x and can reach 100x. And the conditions for a disaster are already here... The 30 year yield hit its highest level since 2007 twice in the past week. The long end has been in a buyers' strike since June. Yesterday the Treasury abandoned its own published schedule and doubled its bond buybacks without warning. What killed LTCM was liquidity disappearing from the market where its borrowed money was parked. And this time the rescue is being drawn up in ADVANCE. Academics from Harvard, Columbia and Chicago have already published a proposal urging the Fed to build a standing facility to absorb these positions when they unwind. Morgan Stanley estimates these positions shrank by more than $200 billion in July as spreads compressed. On top of that, central clearing becomes mandatory at the end of this year. The trade genuinely makes Treasury markets more liquid on ordinary days. But ordinary days were never the problem. Two Nobel laureates and a former Fed vice chairman could not see it coming from inside the building. Whoever is running this version is not smarter than they were, and the position is far larger...

Announcing the DVM Terminal Presale! 01/ We are excited to formally announce the next step in our journey: our AI and Signal based trading Terminal. See ALL details on our website, including product, tech, deposit address, and tech documentation: Deposit Address (SOL only): 4pyVRFX56MdqtREcxWnf6XuEGfRNCQaKm1LA4xmHeccv By contributing, you agree to our Terms & Privacy Policy – full docs on site. 02/ We are building ‘DVM Terminal’, a signal and AI powered trading platform for the Solana trenches (initially). The first multi-agent AI trading terminal designed as an institutional-grade dashboard – turning market noise into actionable alpha with agent summaries, live signals, rigid filters, and a full multi-agent system. 03/ The problem. Trench hunting is far too inefficient with real data and insights lacking. - Dashboards are noisy (not even sortable), - No AI agents (in an AI world) - No narratives (a critical component to a thesis), - VERY limited signals (only DB/DS), - No advanced trading (no TP, SL, or VWAP), - No portfolio alert/management system post-trade etc. - The list goes on… Products from major competitors are all just homogeneous, even down to the 3-frame design. We have to piece everything together like broken lego blocks, building a weak matrix from existing platforms, X, FNFs, telegram and discord for little to no alpha. 04/ The solution & moat. We rebuild this from the ground up, leveraging signals and AI. - Clean institutional-like dashboards (we can sort and navigate thru a proper terminal, like Bloomberg or Messari) - AI agents (thank goodness for intelligence, distilling all the important info upfront across 2k+ tokens/day) - A Narrative engine (no need to ask “what is this token about?”; additionally, our engine can identify the newest metas like AI, ICM, Cards, etc.) - 100s of value-add Signals overlaid live on charts (momentum, smart money, sentiment, event data; all of it; tell us what’s happening in real-time) - Advanced trading system (finally, SL, TP, VWAP etc.) - Live portfolio monitoring (AI will give us pertinent live info on our holdings, so we can go live life and not look at screens all day) - All in one place. At a higher-level, our advantage will be managing the massive on/off-chain data pipeline being processed by thousands or millions of context-aware AI agents that recognize patterns, filter noise and deliver only the most actionable insights to a trader with which it can execute a trade effectively. 05/ The opportunity. The Industry leader on Solana makes $600m+ in fees annually, with total industry near $1b on Solana alone, according to Adam. Yet, the entire industry gives us total burnout, fragmented data, either little info or info overload, no real signals, no narratives, no personalized AI-driven strategies, and zero incentives (like buybacks or a flywheel). We’ll flip the script, designing a high-powered scalable signal and AI driven intelligence platform with a flywheel (50-100% fee buy-back & burn). Simply put, we want to be tops. 06/ Development. Our product is MVP. We are building this to scale beyond Solana, into multi-chain. V1 is expected in 4-6 weeks. Our approach to building is an open feedback loop with community members, building to the demands of our users. 07/ Pre-sale terms & Valuation. We are offering 50% public sale, with min $100, no max. Ending valuation is susceptible to change based on amount raised, but will be fixed at 2x raise - i.e. $1m raised=$2m val, $50m raised=$100m val. We are seeking to raise $25m on a $50m valuation, which represents 1% of Solana bot market-share. At TGE event, expect ~65% of our tokens to be floating (or outstanding), with 25% in treasury and 10% of the team allocation locked. Tokens are expected to be distributed just ahead of v1 rollout. Again, find more details on our webpage. 08/ Tailwinds. AI input costs are declining 90%/yr also, so the operational model could become very accretive over time, as we scale our tech to other chains. Solana outputs the most tokens (~35k per day), so we start here, where the challenge is the greatest. 09/ Advisors. Big thanks to our advisors, who’ve been part of this community since inception. Austin Barack, JK 🛡️, cryptic, Tachi, , ZoeyLoo and Chetan Badhe. 10/ The end. Thank you for your consideration; and make sure the SOL address posted here is the same as on our website.

Announcing the DVM Terminal Presale! 01/ We are excited to formally announce the next step in our journey: our AI and Signal based trading Terminal. See ALL details on our website, including product, tech, deposit address, and tech documentation: Deposit Address (SOL only): 4pyVRFX56MdqtREcxWnf6XuEGfRNCQaKm1LA4xmHeccv By contributing, you agree to our Terms & Privacy Policy – full docs on site. 02/ We are building ‘DVM Terminal’, a signal and AI powered trading platform for the Solana trenches (initially). The first multi-agent AI trading terminal designed as an institutional-grade dashboard – turning market noise into actionable alpha with agent summaries, live signals, rigid filters, and a full multi-agent system. 03/ The problem. Trench hunting is far too inefficient with real data and insights lacking. - Dashboards are noisy (not even sortable), - No AI agents (in an AI world) - No narratives (a critical component to a thesis), - VERY limited signals (only DB/DS), - No advanced trading (no TP, SL, or VWAP), - No portfolio alert/management system post-trade etc. - The list goes on… Products from major competitors are all just homogeneous, even down to the 3-frame design. We have to piece everything together like broken lego blocks, building a weak matrix from existing platforms, X, FNFs, telegram and discord for little to no alpha. 04/ The solution & moat. We rebuild this from the ground up, leveraging signals and AI. - Clean institutional-like dashboards (we can sort and navigate thru a proper terminal, like Bloomberg or Messari) - AI agents (thank goodness for intelligence, distilling all the important info upfront across 2k+ tokens/day) - A Narrative engine (no need to ask “what is this token about?”; additionally, our engine can identify the newest metas like AI, ICM, Cards, etc.) - 100s of value-add Signals overlaid live on charts (momentum, smart money, sentiment, event data; all of it; tell us what’s happening in real-time) - Advanced trading system (finally, SL, TP, VWAP etc.) - Live portfolio monitoring (AI will give us pertinent live info on our holdings, so we can go live life and not look at screens all day) - All in one place. At a higher-level, our advantage will be managing the massive on/off-chain data pipeline being processed by thousands or millions of context-aware AI agents that recognize patterns, filter noise and deliver only the most actionable insights to a trader with which it can execute a trade effectively. 05/ The opportunity. The Industry leader on Solana makes $600m+ in fees annually, with total industry near $1b on Solana alone, according to Adam. Yet, the entire industry gives us total burnout, fragmented data, either little info or info overload, no real signals, no narratives, no personalized AI-driven strategies, and zero incentives (like buybacks or a flywheel). We’ll flip the script, designing a high-powered scalable signal and AI driven intelligence platform with a flywheel (50-100% fee buy-back & burn). Simply put, we want to be tops. 06/ Development. Our product is MVP. We are building this to scale beyond Solana, into multi-chain. V1 is expected in 4-6 weeks. Our approach to building is an open feedback loop with community members, building to the demands of our users. 07/ Pre-sale terms & Valuation. We are offering 50% public sale, with min $100, no max. Ending valuation is susceptible to change based on amount raised, but will be fixed at 2x raise - i.e. $1m raised=$2m val, $50m raised=$100m val. We are seeking to raise $25m on a $50m valuation, which represents 1% of Solana bot market-share. At TGE event, expect ~65% of our tokens to be floating (or outstanding), with 25% in treasury and 10% of the team allocation locked. Tokens are expected to be distributed just ahead of v1 rollout.
