Enjoyed speaking with @HeleneBraunn about the thinking behind our recent decisions, what we've learned along the way, and where we're headed next with @SuiFoundation. Thoughtful piece that captures the bigger picture. coindesk.com/business/2026/1…

"Everyone wants to spend their venture capital money on AI," says Morgan Stanley's Denny Galindo. "If that turns, I think there are a lot of opportunities here in crypto that people will be able to invest in."

TradFi moving onchain was always going to pull the bankers in behind it. Institutions are shifting away from speculative bitcoin exposure toward blockchain-integrated financial infrastructure: tokenized money market funds, private credit, stablecoins, faster settlement. And wherever high-growth companies emerge, IPOs follow. @Jefferies just projected the crypto and blockchain public markets sector could reach $1 trillion within five years, with a surge of crypto IPOs likely in the next two. None of that surprises me. We've watched this build for a decade. The rails being laid right now, tokenized assets, settlement systems, institutional-grade protocols, that's what eventually goes public. The question was never if. It was when traditional finance got comfortable enough to follow. Good reporting by @HeleneBraunn at @CoinDesk: coindesk.com/markets/2026/05…

Everyone is in Miami for @consensus2026 this week. Massive demand for institutional digital assets. What a shift.

Look at these headlines from past 24hrs… Goldman Sachs launching btc-related ETF. Morgan Stanley’s most successful ETF launch ever is btc ETF. Charles Schwab rolling out direct spot crypto trading. New York Stock Exchange all in on crypto. Wall Street has literally arrived.

Replying to @NJTRANSIT
We’re off to a great start
Across our state, people tell me the same thing: NJ TRANSIT riders aren’t being served as well as they should be. 
That’s why I signed an Executive Order to speed up progress on long overdue improvements to the ridership experience – including better lighting, cleaner stations, a more reliable app, and more. 
We aren't waiting to improve the commuting experience.

It’s honestly impressive how bad @NJTransit is and how often these things happen. Just pathetic
1 of 2: Due to Amtrak signal issues between Penn Station New York & Newark Penn Station, NJ TRANSIT rail service is subject to up to 45-minute delays into & out of Penn Station New York.

SCOOP: @krakenfx freezes its IPO plans due to difficult market conditions. The exchange had filed confidentially with the @SECGov in November after raising $800M at a $20B valuation.
