By the way, is it possible to build a collectibles warehouse in Hong Kong/Singapore, accept domestic mail-ins, and then mint them into NFTs after authenticity assurance, similar to Collector Crypt?

Decoding "Social Posts as an Asset Class" and Some Discussions About Content Coins People are constantly searching for signals and information that reveal asymmetries in order to generate alpha. Thus, social posts that help reveal the value of an asset (perhaps a serious piece of content from @bidclubio or a meme implying an endorsement of an asset by a prominent figure) should likely be put on-chain and even converted into tradable assets, as the information contained in the post has the potential to generate incremental financial returns. In other words, the risk-reward ratio for this type of information is higher for people, as they are willing to incur the cost of interacting with it on-chain (and potentially be compensated for investing money in early likes). People are less likely to speculate on information that doesn't directly impact the financial value of an asset, regardless of the asset type. This is what we mean by "only valuable information should be put on-chain, even minted as a token." Not all content should be put on-chain—it would simply take up valuable block space, even though we know the cost will continue to decrease. Some information simply doesn't need to be recorded on a global, public ledger. Good trends.

Anonymous, you shouldn't think of HYPE and HOOD as competitors, but rather as market share winners for baby boomer apps in the rest of the world.

How can tokens legally capture value without becoming securities? Or, if tokens that capture value are subject to a different set of rules than cheaper and easier-to-issue equity securities, why would a small business choose to issue securities in the first place?

I used to think the overcollateralized lending market was too small and that DeFi needed to address the uncollateralized/undercollateralized market in order to scale. After all, the uncollateralized/uncollateralized lending market in TradFi is significantly larger than the secured market. I no longer believe that. When we can tokenize nearly any liquid asset, giving everyone instant access to low-cost leverage/liquidity is already a 10x improvement over all existing TradFi systems. Yes, this is undoubtedly good news for leading lending platforms, and there are strong local network effects. Over time, we can expect the total value locked (TVL) to grow exponentially (assuming we don't regress on the progress made under the Trump administration).

This is significant. I imagine the SEC will soon provide greater clarity on how these tokens can be publicly traded on AMMs like Raydium/Uniswap. Then, I think the floodgates will open. Congratulations to the @superstatefunds team for their groundbreaking work on this.

Everything is on the blockchain, giving cryptocurrencies and stocks equal rights. The specific implementation of the KYC/AML ring fence and ATS Innovative Exemption will take some time, and the SEC will likely come up with something before the midterm elections. HOOD: Forget all that. First, establish a niche through CFD and blockchain integration. The most you'll get is a fine. We'll just have to make adjustments once the details are released. BULLISH

RT @Arthur_0x: Honestly, it's a joke that so many of the Web 3 startups we invested in in 2021/2022 quietly shut down without notice...

The paradigm shift we’ll witness over the next 10 years will be generational – you’ll need to have some capital to allocate (or use your career to ride the wave) or you’ll be left behind.
