The opportunity in digital assets is expanding, and our Q3 performance shows it. Q3 was our strongest quarter of the year with net flows up ~$1.2B from Q2, and we ranked #1 in AUM among HYPE, Sui and Chainlink ETPs.¹ At our town hall, we recognized the team behind that progress. This quarter's results show what our teams can accomplish through shared ambition and focus.

Stablecoins solved the middle. The ends are still the problem. A cross-border payment isn’t finished until someone holds local currency in a local bank. Our CEO of @GTXNGlobal, Dan Kleinbaum will take a stage at Cross Border Payments Conference in Johannesburg to discuss why that’s a liquidity problem, not a chain problem. Johannesburg, 28 October.

Patrick Witt worked tirelessly in his role shaping crypto policy, and the industry benefited from his leadership. Public service rarely gets the appreciation it deserves and he stepped up at every turn. Thank you, @patrickjwitt!
Serving in this administration has been the privilege of a lifetime. From helping to stand up the most successful presidential transition in history alongside @howardlutnick and @EDSecMcMahon, to rebuilding our defense industrial base as PTDO Deputy Under Secretary for R&E and then Acting Director of OSC at @DeptofWar, to driving forward President Trump’s vision to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world” as Executive Director of the @WhiteHouse Crypto Council, I consider myself to have been the luckiest guy in the world over these past two years. First and foremost, I want to thank @POTUS for the opportunity to serve the American people again in your second term. Your clear-eyed vision to ensure the United States remains the undisputed global superpower at this time of unprecedented technological change and geopolitical strife is critical to our nation’s future prosperity. Second, I want to thank @DavidSacks for your visionary leadership and mentorship. I am so grateful to have been able to work with you and learn from you over the past year. Thank you also to @USWREMichael, James Mazol, @HarryYJung, Nick Elliot, Tyler Williams, @lukejpettit, Jonathan Hurowitz, Andrew Rittenhouse, Michael Friedman, @atitus7, @passalacqua_mj, @willscharf, @JamesCBraid, @MayMailman, Steve Levine, Patrick Butler, Zach Carstens, and countless others across the administration for being the best colleagues anyone could ask for. It was an honor to serve alongside you. Lastly, thank you to @SECPaulSAtkins and @ChairmanSelig, @SecScottBessent, @USComptroller Gould, @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis, @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @JohnBoozman, @SenThomTillis, @RepFrenchHill, and @RepBryanSteil for your partnership in advancing crypto policy over the past year with the passage of the GENIUS Act and our work to advance the CLARITY Act. With regulators and elected officials like you, I rest easy knowing the future of digital asset innovation in America is bright. Regarding next steps, I’ll have to more to share soon. For now, I’ll say this: I am extremely bullish on America as we embark upon a new golden age of technological advancement across multiple frontiers. I’m grateful to have done my part to unleash American innovation while in government, and I look forward to advancing that same mission in the private sector! 🇺🇸

On 24 September, 600 delegates gathered at M Resort & Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, making #LIDAC26KL as the largest Luno Institutional Digital Asset Conference yet, with strong representation across banking, regulators, asset management, and Web3 in the region. From deep conversations on institutional adoption, tokenisation, and stablecoins, to our announcement of a collaboration with Kenanga Investors and @HalogenCapital to explore UMYR, a Ringgit-pegged stablecoin designed for tokenised fund settlement, it was a day packed with milestones for Malaysia's digital asset journey. We can't thank our esteemed guests, distinguished panelists and speakers, and everyone who made LIDAC KL 2026 possible enough. It was a big day for Malaysia's digital asset journey, and we're so glad you were part of it. Watch the full official recap video to relive it all 🎥 #LIDAC26KL #DigitalAssets #Stablecoins #Luno

What BitTorrent did for files, we want to do for AI inference. Antseed lets anyone buy and sell access to AI models, on their own terms. The Antseed Foundation has raised $2.4M in a token round led by Spark Capital to help make that happen.

Fortitude Secures Priority Supply Allocation for @BITMAINtech's Next-Generation Zcash Mining Equipment, Announces $100 Million Non-Binding Purchase Commitment, and Additional Upsizing of DCG Credit Facility and Available $ZEC Funding from @DCGco. The announcement builds on Fortitude’s approximately 4.7 GSol/s of operating hashrate, more than 60 MW of contracted power capacity and previously announced 9,000-unit order of BITMAIN ANTMINER Z15 Pro miners. “Fortitude’s vision is to be the largest vertically-integrated Zcash mining platform,” said @JaimeLeverton, CEO of Fortitude. “Securing a priority supply allocation for BITMAIN’s next-generation equipment, alongside our existing operating base and previously announced Z15 Pro order, positions Fortitude to expand its fleet with industry-leading hardware as it becomes available. We believe there is a significant opportunity to invest in Zcash mining infrastructure today, and Fortitude is well positioned to lead that buildout.” Read the full announcement: tinyurl.com/y3mx338w. $ZEC $HSCS

In the same WSJ interview, I also said there wouldn't be "public" and "private" companies in a decade, just companies trading on markets with different rules. Looking at tokenization and the move toward 24/7 trading today, I think I nailed that one too.
In 2011 @BarrySilbert told @marykissel at WSJ that he thought the SEC should let investors qualify for private markets by passing a test, not via net worth. Last week the SEC proposed exactly that. 15 years later, still a good idea.
