What an exciting week in crypto! We're still riding on that (Bitcoin all-time) high, hbu? ☕🗞️

Word of the day: Technofeudalism 🔖 Big tech controls massive amounts of personal data, building proprietary data silos that don’t interact, while generating value and profit—for themselves. Listen to @viewfromhk break this down at @nfcsummit and explain why change is needed!

How do your life experiences shape your perspective on financial innovation? During the latest episode of the @vntrcapital podcast, @ysiu shared a piece of his personal story, from his journey at Atari to “stumbling upon” Web3. This discussion covers capitalism, token economies, identity, education, investments, and what the “Metaverse” actually means. 🌐 Jump into the full discussion to unpack more on how permissionless networks fuel the Web3 ecosystem:

In real life, we call people who take everything "psychopaths." So why do we celebrate it in business? A mind-blowing perspective from @YatSiu of @animocabrands on why the "winner-takes-all" model is broken. He makes a powerful case for reinvesting in your ecosystem, not just extracting from it. This conversation will change how you think about business. The full Quantum Minds podcast with Yat Siu drops soon!

Next-gen infrastructure is transforming how traditional assets move, grow, and deliver value. Beyond stablecoins, we see potential for a rise in momentum of real-world asset tokenisation, driven by regulatory clarity, and a focus on high-impact use cases. Success lies not in replicating what already works off-chain, but in unlocking new value – such as improving liquidity for traditionally hard-to-trade assets. Our latest research projects steady growth, with sharp acceleration expected from this year onwards. We’re enabling this with proven infrastructure, partnerships like @animocabrands and HKT, and participation in initiatives such as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s (@hkmagovhk) stablecoin issuer sandbox.

This week I got a chance to hangout with the legend @Chevy_Jai and visit the @animocabrands office! Had great conversations around consumer crypto, our faith journey, and some @AnichessGame alpha♟️👀 Also, can you guess who wears a winter coat when it's 30 degrees outside?

Rather than a few people controlling the direction of AI, @ysiu suggests a more democratic approach during The Awakening Code podcast hosted by @vishalgondal, where they speak on the future of digital property, decentralized governance, tokenization, and cultural shifts.
