The next Bloomberg won’t be a replica of Bloomberg.

It’ll be a combination of:

1) Massive distribution via open data, podcasts, streaming, newsletters, and social

2) Data and analytics platform that monetizes via both subscriptions and APIs

3) AI platform custom built for financial markets

4) Strong communities that activate both online and IRL

5) Prediction markets that are tightly integrated with the news business

6) Trusted creators with big brands at the heart of the content

Must be crypto native (as all assets move onchain) with AI embedded into the entire organization.

Bloomberg does $13 billion revenue.

This will be bigger.

Moderating a few firesides today:

1) Blockdaemon co-founder @konstantin11

2) @worldlibertyfi co-founder Zak Folkman

3) AngelList CTO @bgoutham

Come hang!

The cycle has felt weirdly easy from an investing pov

Just buy the majors + HYPE + COIN/HOOD and chill

Can’t tell if that’s a sign of crypto maturing or 3rd cycle behavior where I stopped chasing dumb coins

Or most likely, I’m about to get humbled bigly and regret this post

According to HBO, we’re live with Satoshi

215 speakers at Permissionless IV.

To compare, last year we had 130.

If you've been to a Blockworks event, you know content and talent density is our edge.

We don't put bad speakers on stage.

Think this is an amazing signal that the amount of talent in crypto is growing.

ARR hitting escape velocity

@blockworksres 📈

50+ inbound submissions in one day.

Transparent tokens want to separate themselves from shady tokens.

The timeline for investors and exchanges demanding transparency just got pulled forward.

If this is you, get in touch.

I was wrong about 50% loving, 50% hating.

In nearly 8 years of Blockworks, we've never had a launch like this.

It's almost like the industry is sick of the backroom games and actually wants transparent markets...

What a concept. Thank you all for the support.

New DEX dashboard is ELITE

These screenshots don't do it justice... there are 67 different DEX related charts!

If you're into Uniswap, Raydium, PancakeSwap, Orca, Meteora, Aerodrome, Fluid, or any other DEX, you will love this.

Think this is our best dashboard ever.

Great piece.

Our brain and online experience has been programmed by algos created by big social.

Crypto is our best shot at breaking that.

Things like Pump fun, Time fun, Fantasy, Ethos, etc are really about building markets around attention and trust and social capital.

This will get very important as new generations are terminally online and probably care more about their online reputation than their IRL reputation.

It's inning #1 for redesigning how people get rewarded for their online actions.

Memecoin trading on BNB has flipped Solana

(driven by the Binance Alpha program)

Coinbase alumni event.

There are now 100+ crypto companies founded by ex-Coinbase employees.

Very dope.

Stripe x Privy acquisition is a great reminder of 5 things.

1) @henri_stern and team are relentless with product, there will always be a massive opportunity for founders and teams who build 10x products

2) Privy launched in mid 2021, you're still early

3) Privy launched as a privacy solution then pivoted to wallets, once you find PMF go all in on that thing

4) Don't focus so much on retail, there are huge opportunities in the B2B space to build real businesses with real revenue and real customers

5) Sequoia is good at selling their crypto port co's to Stripe :)

Congrats to the entire Privy team.

Added 5 more exchanges to our CEX dashboard:

- Binance US
- Gate
- Bullish
- Bitstamp
- Bitvavo

Upbit, LMAX, and HTX data coming soon.

Cycle tops when the 0xresearch telegram hits 1k members.

Until then, boccaccio mode.

Higher.

When the 0xresearch telegram hits 1k members, we'll know the cycle has topped.

Until then, boccaccio mode.

Higher.

Once Tether profits increase 4.5x they’ll be the most profitable bank in the world.

All while having 0.05% of the workforce.

Met with a top 5 bank the other day.

They refer to tokens as "the top 4 and then everything else"

BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP

Looks likely we'll get the Solana ETF in the next few months.

My guess is the next ETF after SOL will be XRP.

Don't shoot the messenger.
