Unbelievably proud of what our team accomplished this week 🎥
3 full days of (almost, rip arena internet) uninterrupted streaming from spitting distance of the main stage
~40 guests, both suits and hoodies alike
~22 hours of authentic, unfiltered, content
- 1 crystal-clear vision: providing objective coverage of everything happening on Solana
Huge thanks to all our incredible guests who joined us in the sauna for a bit of banter, and to @SolanaConf for putting on such a spectacle
Massive s/o to the amazing off-camera SF team, who crushed it behind the scenes and without whom none of this would even be possible:
@awaisafzal_
@JackDowr101
@ario_57_
@ideyquickvex
@danielraghu_
And of course, the brilliant @miakoddda who orchestrates everything from the top with absolute class, precision, and elegance 🌟
Never been more exhilarated about our trajectory - not stopping till we’re the greatest news & media company we can possibly be
BP 26 in London can’t come soon enough 🇬🇧

Druck, Elon, and co all taking the HYPE pill (as they should)
Swaps just hit $100+ on HyperEVM
@Enter_Elysium fixes this, the House of All Finance means dominating on *all* fronts
See you there

Does this make me an insidooor?
Bullish thesis on $HYPE yesterday at trading floor by Finn @solace_fm from Solana Floor.
Aped in with $200 using smart fill on @jtx_trade for the best execution
HYPE is up ~10% today🔥
so is ICE just partnering with everybody to have as many shots on goal as poss as they roll out 27/7 markets?
as I understand it, OKX, LayerZero Atlas, Securitize, and now Hyperliquid/TradeXYZ are all rubbing shoulders with ICE
who wins?
My biggest gripe with @BackpackOnchain has been solved
Things you absolutely love to see
Kamino masterclass
Introducing the Backpack Market on Kamino.
Kamino is expanding loans backed by tokenized equity on Solana with @Backpack Securities, bringing 1:1-backed, redeemable tokenized U.S.-listed equities directly into onchain credit markets.
great fit
the @temporal_xyz guys are obviously blisteringly intelligent, and @marcryptonio is an elite ball-knower who can play the game as well as anyone
looking forward to seeing what comes from this
a W for Solana DeFi

this is pretty sick because if you’re a seeker builder or developer, the TAM for your apps just went from 200k to over 8M

don't wanna be that guy,
but you could've protected yourself from these harsh pullbacks by tuning into tradingFloor over the past 2-3 weeks
learn to play defence as well
people who demonized solana:CARDSccUMFKoPRZxt5vt3ksUbxEFEcnZ3H2pd3dKxYjp for its lack of value accrual and utility are starting to run out of arguments
speculators want buyback & burns
CC is doing that to a degree, but this gamified feature provides a mechanic through which the team can incentivize their core user base to give tokens back to the company
reading between the lines...
even CC wants more solana:CARDSccUMFKoPRZxt5vt3ksUbxEFEcnZ3H2pd3dKxYjp
since when has a crypto company ever wanted more of its own token? bullish
disc. I own this asset (obvs)
Card club members already knew about this, testing the new feature.
How it works is (at the moment)
- Select an epic card you want to prioritize
- If you hit an epic, 5% chance it will be that one
- Can select up to 5 at a time -> 25% chance it will be one of your picks
- Amount of solana:CARDSccUMFKoPRZxt5vt3ksUbxEFEcnZ3H2pd3dKxYjp needed per pick depends on the value of the card (higher epics = more CARDS costs)
Other than a new token sink, this feature is significant because it closes the loop of integrating the token into the protocol:
- Use solana:CARDSccUMFKoPRZxt5vt3ksUbxEFEcnZ3H2pd3dKxYjp to get preferred epics in the gacha
- Hold solana:CARDSccUMFKoPRZxt5vt3ksUbxEFEcnZ3H2pd3dKxYjp to receive free spins
Closing this loop may give them more room to speak clearly about token buybacks under the SEC/CFTC guidelines.
This will all obviously take time, but it is yet another sign that the team is aligned with the solana:CARDSccUMFKoPRZxt5vt3ksUbxEFEcnZ3H2pd3dKxYjp token.

Outperformance in this cycle will come from holding any of the 10-15 investable companies building in this industry
KK bang on here - being one of a thousand CT Buzz Lightyears will actually work out in your favor
I've been trying to emphasize this for a while now.
We've just been beta testing and PvP'ing our way to having on chain businesses that are actually investable and demonstrably superior to TradFi alternatives, and the sidelined TradFi money is finally starting to form conclusions on the real tokens worth a punt.
TradFi career risk has materially shifted from those who invested in crypto too early to those who don't have a 6-12 month outlook on tokenization, stablecoins, etc. Nobody wants to be caught flat footed.
Guys who laughed me out of the building two years ago are hitting me back up and showing a genuine desire to understand the space. You'd be shocked at some of the tickers these guys are dropping.
The conversation has shifted from
"Why should I invest in this industry",
To
"What should I invest into in this industry"
But they want to bet on clear winners. Expect dispersion to get worse; the name of the game is to identify what the crypto Mag7 will be.
Resist the temptation to get too creative in the trenches. It's a pretty good time to be one of a thousand Buzz Lightyear.
Been playing around with this the last few days/weeks
UI is delightfully simple, which is key if crypto bums are ever going to actually embrace these instruments
I really like this
two teams I deeply respect joining forces to become something bigger than the sum of their parts
congrats @orca_so congrats @Loopscale
