67 million Americans hold crypto, and their voices matter in the conversation about where crypto goes next. I'm joining @masonlynaugh, @lindsayfraser0, @Rashan and @ZuneraMazhar today at 3 PM ET. See you there 👇

I'm excited to launch Relational Capital, a $50m solo GP fund. I spent the last 8 years as a founder, building @usekojo into the largest US construction procurement platform. Now I'm backing founders at the earliest stages with $1m-$5m checks. An abundant future lies ahead 🇺🇸

DeFi must be protected. Today, @BlockchainAssn and @1inch came together to host Groundwork during DC Fintech Week. Students, academics, industry, and policy pro’s all at the table. A durable regulatory framework that protects #DeFi will come, and we must engage the next gen who will inherit and help shape its future. #DCFintechWeek

Replying to @1inch
@1inch Groundwork is in D.C. on purpose. Seven panels and six roundtables. Speakers from Robinhood Crypto, Uniswap, Circle, Digital Asset, Fireblocks, OpenZeppelin, TRM Labs, Dune, Alchemy and Certik. Faculty from Columbia, NYU, Rutgers and George Mason. The rules for this industry are being written here. The students who will spend their careers working under those rules are at universities across the city. Groundwork puts both in one room for an afternoon. I’ll be leading a practical, no-assumptions introduction for attendees newer to the space. Understand what happens when you create a wallet, hold an asset and make an onchain transaction - then complete a first swap together. 📆 OCT 16 📍National Union Building ⏱️ 12:00-6:00PM RSVP: luma.com/groundwork_dc?tk=br…

I’m excited to be speaking at @1inch Forward: Groundwork, taking place October 16 in Washington, DC, in partnership with the @BlockchainAssn From DeFi and tokenization to AI agents, financial security, and public policy, Groundwork is bringing together the people building, teaching, and shaping the future of finance. As the next generation prepares to inherit a rapidly evolving financial system, we need more than conversations about innovation. We need education, collaboration, and real opportunities to participate. 📅 October 16, 2026 📍 Washington, DC luma.com/groundwork_dc?tk=br…

Latino adoption belongs at the center of America’s digital asset policy. At Fiesta DC, USA largest Latino festival, @Web3DC and @standwithcrypto brought digital asset education to Latino families. Latin America and the Caribbean received $173.7 BILLION in remittances in 2025. Money for groceries, housing, education, and businesses. A real use case at enormous scale. For our community, inflation, country instability, and the economic pressure of tariffs are lived realities. Stablecoins can make these payments faster and cheaper while expanding access to the U.S. dollar. We need to be at the forefront of shaping U.S. policy that protects families, keeps innovation here, and strengthens the dollar’s global role. Latinos in the USA drive adoption beyond our borders, back to their home countries. The future of finance is being built now. America needs to lead. Help secure that future. Make your voice count in these midterms. Vote. 🗳️ standwithcrypto.org/vote

Cardano Native Tokens are coming to Fireblocks. Stablecoins and tokenised RWAs on @Cardano, custodied with the same policy controls institutions already use for every other asset they hold. Announced today by the Cardano Foundation and Fireblocks.
Cardano Native Tokens (CNTs) will be supported on @FireblocksHQ. That means every exchange, bank, and fintech using Fireblocks will be able to custody, send, and receive CNTs with the same policy controls they already use for every other asset. Special thanks to @emurgo_io and the Pentad as well as @IagonOfficial for helping on this journey.

PRIME RFP submissions are open. Over the past month we ran the Cardano DeFi Ecosystem Audit: 25 categories scored against the benchmark capabilities. We know what's missing. Now we're looking for the teams to build it.
