Not gonna be active on X tonight. I'm reading a book (a real one) for a few hours (wouldn't expect a lot of you to understand anyway) so please don't DM me asking me where I am (im reading the book, ok) you'll most likely get get ignored because ill be reading (again I don't expect you to understand) it's actually really interesting and its not a situation i can pass up for some meaningless AI slop with you guys (because ill be reading a book, not that you really are going to understand) this is my life now. Reading books and not wasting my precious time online, I have to move on from such simple things and branch out (you wouldnt understand)
We all know building in public is mostly a lie
anyone who is chronically online- are you really working for your community or yourself?

My advice to startup leaders who are trying to build in public:
Get your head down and build an amazing product first

I talk with crypto industry ppl every day
the mood is pretty hesitant, but in certain areas: payments, consumer finance, RWAs- there is so much excitement
those of us who are left feel more bullish every day
this is the state of stablecoins

TradFi supercycle?
trade[XYZ] and ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, are joining forces to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States.
In just over a year, our markets on Hyperliquid have surpassed $650 billion in volume. They provide continuous price discovery for stocks, indices, and commodities, and have become trusted reference points for retail and institutions alike when traditional markets are closed. Much of the world trades them. Until now, Americans could only watch.
We intend to change that. Subject to CFTC approval, trade[XYZ] and ICE plan to establish a new, dedicated U.S. market, with novel exchange and clearing infrastructure built on Hyperliquid. Planned contracts span equities, indices, commodities, FX, and crypto, with access through participating brokers and platforms. We’ll share more on products, eligibility, and timing as approvals progress.
ICE brings more than 25 years of experience operating regulated markets, clearing, and managing risk. trade[XYZ] brings the product development, market design, and technology behind the most liquid and robust markets on Hyperliquid.
Innovation and the protections of U.S. regulation shouldn’t be a trade-off. Together, we plan to prove it.
ICE is making a strategic investment in trade[XYZ] and joins us in building towards the future of Hyperliquid. A small group of market luminaries is joining as well, beginning with Stan Druckenmiller. For more than four decades, few investors have anticipated the great turns in markets as often as Stan. We’re proud to have him with us for the next one.
We’re building the U.S. market in parallel with our existing HIP-3 markets, which we’ll continue to expand and innovate on. We expect both to flourish. They each have a long road map ahead, from new asset classes to new ways to trade them.
To the Hyperliquid community, whether you were here before us or came because of us, thank you. You took a chance on new markets and you made them matter. You’ll forever be a part of this story.
Anything. Anytime. On ICE[XYZ].

It's never been easier to build in crypto
- AI speeding development up
- regulatory environment friendlier
- institutional adoption more than ever
it's never been harder to build in crypto
- AI eating everything
- capital is much harder earned
- audience is more discerning
we've been through every cycle. we love a challenge
Being a founder is sometimes a volume game
you take 10 shots for every one that lands. iteration is not a mark of failure

Are we in a new bull run? Is it all over again? who knows
Maybe it doesn't even matter. Much of the crypto audience today is more investor than degen. We're playing long-term games.

Well all know AI doesn't do 'taste' very well
We also know taste is still our biggest differentiator in brand-building. Lesson here
