Thrilled to join @FortitudeCrypto as CEO.
Fortitude has executed on a long-term conviction in Zcash and financial privacy, with owned power, owned sites, and a production track record to show for it - exactly the kind of infrastructure-driven approach I've spent my career building.
Excited to help build on what the team has created as we head toward the public markets.

Huge congratulations to @demibrener and the @OpenZeppelin team on their agreement to be acquired by @SPGlobal.
DCG invested in 2015 with a belief that onchain security would become essential as financial markets moved onchain. Today, OpenZeppelin helps secure the infrastructure powering stablecoins, tokenization, and onchain markets.
Today we are announcing that S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin.
Onchain finance is growing from an emerging market into core financial infrastructure, and the standards and rails our team and community built are becoming the rails of global finance. OpenZeppelin smart contracts facilitated over $37 trillion in value transferred, with the vast majority of the largest DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, stablecoins and tokenized funds relying on them.
With S&P Global, we expect to accelerate the impact of onchain finance, backed by more than a century of trust in global markets, benchmarks, and risk frameworks.
To our clients and to all the users of OpenZeppelin open source tools:
• OpenZeppelin Contracts and all our open source applications and tools remain open source, free, and publicly maintained on GitHub. Building open source standards stays a core priority.
• Audits, engineering work, and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality, and customer experience, with what will be the added benefit of S&P Global's research capacity, market data, and institutional reach.
For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Today begins a new chapter for that mission, together with one of the most trusted names in global markets.

Scaling fintech across borders takes more than a great idea; it takes the right strategy and partners
Last week, @aaronqfu joined @RossStrike, @AmandineLobelle, and @Verto_co on stage at Africa Fintech Fest to talk what it really takes to build and scale across markets
Moderated by @mbrandengel and hosted by @RPPFintech & @QuonaCapital
Statement on today’s CLARITY Act vote:
Today’s outcome is a missed opportunity for American businesses, consumers, and U.S. competitiveness, but the need for clear, predictable rules for digital assets remains as urgent as it ever has. Thank you to the members of Congress and their staff who worked tirelessly to get us this far. We will continue partnering with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to move a durable framework forward and ensure the U.S. remains the innovation capital of the digital assets industry.

August marked the best monthly performance since inception for Yuma's Total Market Fund, with an 18.3% MoM gain on a USD basis, compared with 17.9% for TAO/USD.
The performance reflects a blend of returns from across the full Bittensor ecosystem, comprised of $TAO and subnets, analogous to a '60/40' portfolio.

Stablecoin minting just got faster for businesses.
@LunoGlobal is partnering with Meridian to give corporate clients instant access to stablecoins when their USD payments land, replacing manual OTC processes that can take hours or days.
A wire landing in New York on Friday afternoon can be stablecoins in Johannesburg before desks even open Monday.
The service launched in South Africa first, with plans to expand across Southeast Asia, making it easier for businesses to access and move digital dollars through regulated infrastructure.

At #WDMS2026, Fortitude CFO @Ellingson_Erik made the bullish case for Zcash, highlighting the convergence of privacy, quantum resistance, adoption and expanding market access.
Zcash today looks a lot like Bitcoin in 2013. $ZEC $HSCS

"Zcash's time is now."
At #WDMS2026, Erik Ellingson, CFO of Fortitude Mining, makes the case for Zcash — 137 countries exploring CBDCs, on-chain analytics killing pseudonymity, and the Ironwood upgrade bringing quantum-resistant shielded transactions. With Coinbase & Robinhood listings, a Grayscale ETF in motion, and venture mining outperforming Bitcoin, Zcash today parallels Bitcoin in 2013.

1,000,000 TAO now staked with Yuma.
Because our validators run on owned hardware infrastructure, that's 1 million more TAO securing Bittensor's network consensus, through validator operations trusted by participants ranging from non-custodial wallet owners to global exchanges and leading institutional custodians.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has chosen Yuma Staking, helping to make us the largest hardware validator on the network.
The strongest signal in any network is participation. This milestone reflects growing conviction in Bittensor and the infrastructure that supports it.
Bittensor keeps growing. Let's keep building together. bittensor:native
Today @Grayscale brought the first Zcash ETP ($ZCSH) to market, adding to its long history of firsts in digital assets
It is built on a thesis we hold across DCG: financial privacy matters, and $ZEC is leading the way
The world’s first Zcash fund, The Zcash ETF - Built by @Grayscale (Ticker: $ZCSH) begins trading today.
Zcash launched in 2016, built on the cypherpunk ideals that inspired Bitcoin and the earliest cryptocurrency believers: privacy, decentralization, and freedom. The first investment vehicle offering exposure to $ZEC followed in 2017. This original vehicle has now evolved into $ZCSH, the world's first and only Zcash exchange-traded product, giving investors exposure to $ZEC directly from brokerage or investment accounts.
We're excited to build alongside the Zcash community.
"DCG did a poll earlier this year and found that 81% of voters are advocating for passage of some sort of regulatory regime. It's not just what Congress is doing, I think voters are also hoping for movement."

A Z15 Pro mining Zcash is currently yielding roughly 3x the industry-average AI/HPC benchmark per MWh.
Fortitude began mining $ZEC, the native token of the Zcash network, in 2019. This is our venture mining playbook in action.
