28wishes sells ice cream in LA. When temps drop below 70°, sales drop about 20%. So they hedge on Kalshi weather markets to offset the loss. Navore Market uses weather markets to reduce the financial impact of heat waves in San Diego for its partner farms. When a tornado hit his town, Scott Owens’ hobby trading weather markets paid for the repairs to his damaged roof. Paul Sieczka is a meteorologist who turned weather forecasting into a profitable trading system. And Rachel, like ~70% of Kalshi users, doesn't trade at all. She just checks the markets to see what the weather is likely to be. Giving people markets on the things they care about requires scale. That's why we've gone from ~1,000 weather markets to more than 30,000. So we partnered with The Weather Company to settle Kalshi weather markets. With institutional-grade observation data from verified weather stations and rigorous, round-the-clock monitoring, Kalshi resolutions will be consistent, objective, and validated at the scale our users demand. Over time, The Weather Company will also bring Kalshi's real-time probability data into select experiences on The Weather Channel app and giving people a new way to see how markets are pricing weather risk. This is what the next generation of financial markets looks like: markets people actually use, specific enough to matter to them, built on reliable infrastructure.

New Jersey is asking the Supreme Court to settle the prediction markets fight "New Jersey is taking the fight over Kalshi's prediction markets to the Supreme Court, the first time a state has asked for that to happen. This is part of a broader turf war between the CFTC and the states over what a prediction market contract actually is, a federally regulated derivative or sports betting under state jurisdiction." "Kalshi says its sports event contracts are federally regulated derivatives under the Commodity Exchange Act. The states say they infringe on their territory to make money on gambling. The Third Circuit ruled for Kalshi in April, finding federal law preempted New Jersey's gambling regulation." "Last week, the Ninth Circuit reached the opposite preliminary conclusion in another case, and the conflicting rulings create a circuit split that could invite Supreme Court review. The Supreme Court has not agreed to hear this yet, but New Jersey is asking for it." "Prediction markets are now letting you bet on whether the Supreme Court will rule that prediction markets are legal."

Architect’s traditional perpetuals exchange AX, one of the fastest-growing regulated derivatives exchanges in history, is opening trading to individuals and omnibus brokers. With $3B notional in <6 months in institutional trading, we’re excited to welcome a new investor class. We launched AX in February with the conviction that building the largest global regulated exchange for traditional asset perpetuals starts with addressing the needs of institutions and professional market participants: robust risk controls, institutional-grade infrastructure, responsible leverage, wash-trading and market manipulation prevention, no internal market maker, and a clear tier-1 regulatory framework. Our GTM strategy was a risk we took based on ambition, industry experience, intuition, and discipline. Our team is now ready to win the opportunities that risk has yielded, in expanding our markets internationally and building what’s needed here in US derivatives markets. AX offers individual traders the same benefits that have enabled our institutional customers to grow the exchange this large this quickly: a market-defining UX, infrastructure built by elite industry experts, superior book liquidity, low fees and open incentive programs, high-throughput and full-featured APIs, competitive margin, 24/7 one-on-one support, no auto-liquidation or ADL. Join us for the next stage of AX and Architect.

My conversation with Rob Hadick ＞|＜. As General Partner at Dragonfly, Rob has one of the clearest views on how blockchain is evolving from speculative crypto into the actual infrastructure of global capital markets. In this episode we dig into why finance, payments, asset issuance, and markets are the only parts of crypto that are truly scaling and how the industry is quietly becoming TradFi’s onchain upgrade. We spend a lot of time mapping traditional capital markets primitives directly onto blockchain rails and examining where value is actually going to accrue as tokenization, stablecoins, and onchain trading mature. At the center of the conversation is the belief that blockchain is no longer building a parallel financial system it is becoming the settlement, issuance, and trading layer for the existing one, while crypto itself settles into a more mature “capital markets +” phase focused on real assets, institutional flows, and sustainable business models. We discuss: - The current state of crypto as capital markets infrastructure and the decline of pure speculative narratives - Why finance, payments, and tokenization are winning while most other crypto applications struggle - The architectural parallel between traditional capital markets and on-chain systems - Tokenized assets = Securities - Stablecoins = Cash / settlement - DEXs & on-chain venues = Exchanges - Prediction markets = Information markets - Why institutions are moving on-chain and what they actually want (control, privacy, segregated markets) - Token vs equity: where value accrues in a non-Clarity Act world - The mass extinction event in crypto VC and why Dragonfly is doubling down on financial infrastructure - Stablecoins, RWAs, and the real path to “tokenization of everything” - Prediction markets (and why Polymarket matters) as the next interface layer - Sustainable business models and where value will ultimately capture Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction & State of Crypto as Capital Markets 2:00 – Why Speculative Narratives Are Fading 7:00 – Finance, Payments & Tokenization as the Only Scaling Verticals 12:00 – Institutional Adoption & What Wall Street Actually Wants 18:00 – Token vs Equity Value Accrual 25:00 – Blockchain as the New Settlement & Issuance Layer 35:00 – Prediction Markets, Information & the Next Interface 45:00 – Crypto VC Consolidation & Dragonfly’s Thesis 55:00 – Real-World Assets, Stablecoins & On-Chain Markets 1:05:00 – Closing Thoughts: Where Value Accrues Next Enjoy!

Long time listener, first time caller - I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined Kalshi to build out the Product function! Prediction markets are incredibly powerful primitives that are just starting to be explored, much like how crypto was 10 years ago. Anyone can make a market for the outcome of an event, creating a much more balanced and reliable source of information than traditional news or polls. Kalshi is an unstoppable force. It single-handedly created the US prediction market category through sheer willpower and relentless regulatory effort (just google "Kalshi sues CFTC"). It’s a better source of truth for the presidential election than traditional polls, it pioneered "mention markets," created a platform for anyone to earn on their knowledge, and has set the pace of innovation in financial markets over the last few years. I can’t think of two better people to lead the way than Tarek Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara. As soon as I met them I knew they had what it took to build a generational company and that I wanted to build it with them. My mission here is to lead and scale our Product function, helping us build the next generation of trading products and markets to make this vision a reality. Everybody is an expert on something, and Kalshi is the definitive platform to trade on that knowledge. The markets agree - this week alone, we deepened our partnership with Solana on Monday, announced our Series E raise from Paradigm, Sequoia Capital, a16z and more on Tuesday, launched our partnership with CNN to reshape the future of news Wednesday, and announced our partnership with CNBC Thursday. And this is just a normal week for us. To use my favorite Coinbase phrase - it's still day 1. P.S. We are hiring. If you are interested in building what has the potential to be the most important consumer opportunity of our times, message me.

This is absolutely insane… The global equities market, worth $127 trillion, is about to be tokenized. We’re about to witness the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind, and most people don’t even realize it’s happening. Markets are moving toward 24/7 infrastructure, and it won’t just be equities - other asset classes will have to move alongside them. Does that mean crypto suddenly becomes a $127T market? Of course not. But it opens the floodgates for a massive source of institutional capital that previously had no direct access to this asset class. Many projects won’t benefit. Many will die. Some become the multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure that runs the global financial system of the future. Millionaires will be made overnight while 99.9% of the population won’t even realize it happened.

🌐 2026 Digital Asset Outlook | Dawn of the Institutional Era In our latest Genfinity interview with Grayscale Head of Product and Research Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, the discussion focused on how digital assets are entering a structurally different phase of adoption. A core theme was the weakening relevance of the four-year cycle narrative. Historically, crypto drawdowns were driven by macro shocks, not an internal clock. China’s banking restrictions in 2014. Global tightening and regulatory pressure in 2018. Liquidity reversal, inflation, and systemic deleveraging in 2022. Crypto traded like other risk assets because it is a risk asset. What has changed is the market foundation. ETF access has opened the advisory and wealth management channel. Institutional-grade custody exists. Regulatory clarity is improving rather than constricting. As a result, the conversation has shifted from whether digital assets belong in portfolios to how exposure should be constructed. Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a macro asset and store of value within that framework. Infrastructure protocols such as Chainlink were highlighted for solving a fundamental constraint. Blockchains cannot access real-world data on their own. Chainlink provides that connectivity layer, with visible on-chain usage, interoperability across networks, and integration with traditional financial infrastructure. For institutions, that translates into picks-and-shovels exposure tied to real economic activity. Solana was discussed from a usage-first perspective. High throughput, low and predictable costs, strong developer activity, growing stablecoin flows, and real transaction volume. From Grayscale’s viewpoint, Solana’s relevance shows up in how people actually use the network and in the demand coming from retail, wealth, and institutional channels, including ETF and staking products. Another clear signal of maturity is the decline of tribalism. As access becomes standardized through ETFs, exposure management replaces ecosystem loyalty. Investors are no longer choosing a single chain. They are allocating across stores of value, infrastructure layers, and income-producing assets within one asset class. The outlook discussed was bullish, but not speculative. Improving regulation. Broader access. Institutional demand. Yield through staking. Tokenization and infrastructure moving from concept to execution. This interview was not about timing markets. It was about recognizing that digital assets are no longer operating outside the financial system. They are being integrated into it. The institutional era of digital assets is upon us.

Nobody is talking about what just happened in Frankfurt. Ondo, Clearstream, and Deutsche Börse Group just announced a partnership that changes the entire $ONDO thesis. Clearstream is not a startup. It is the post-trade infrastructure that European institutional capital actually runs on. 20 trillion euros in assets under custody. The settlement and custody backbone of the largest financial markets in the world. Here is what was just announced. Phase one: now live on 360X (Deutsche Börse Group’s regulated digital asset trading venue) Ondo tokenised stocks and ETFs are now live on 360X. AAPLon, NVDAon, TSLAon, MSFTon, GOOGLon, METAon, SPYon, QQQon. The largest tokenised securities bulk listing on 360X to date. That is phase one. Phase two: what changes everything Ondo tokenised assets will be integrated into Clearstream's custody, settlement, and collateral infrastructure. Institutions across Europe will be able to hold tokenised Apple stock in the same custody system where they hold their traditional securities. Same workflow. Same settlement rails. Same infrastructure they have used for decades. But onchain. Clearstream will also make assets it holds in custody available to Ondo in tokenised form for distribution to Ondo's global client network outside the US. That is a two-way bridge. Ondo brings assets onchain. Clearstream distributes them through institutional infrastructure. The wall between crypto rails and traditional finance just came down in both directions simultaneously. This follows Ondo's recent regulatory approval to offer tokenised stocks and ETFs across 30 European countries. 500 million investors now have regulated onchain access to US markets. Most people are still thinking about $ONDO as a crypto token. The institutions just started thinking about it as post-trade infrastructure. Those are two completely different categories of bets. The crowns were never up for debate. Most people just found out too late.

Money has always evolved alongside technology. From paper, to electronic ledgers, to digital payment rails, each shift changed how markets operate rather than whether they operate. The IMF's perspective highlights that tokenization is part of this same progression. It brings faster settlement, broader access, and new ways for assets to be represented digitally. But the real transformation happens after assets move onchain. Once tokenized, assets don’t just need to exist. They need to function inside markets. That means settling reliably, interacting with other financial primitives, and doing so in ways that align with institutional requirements around compliance and control. Plume is built around that layer: enabling tokenized RWAs to move, compose, and participate in onchain markets while preserving the standards institutions rely on today.

Asia is positioning itself as a proving ground for regulated digital asset markets. • Infrastructure is ready. • Regulatory clarity is improving. • Capital is aligning. The next phase of tokenized finance will be defined by execution. And we are building for scale.
