my first impressions from token2049: ethereum is back

It took us 16 months to get from $0 to $240M Next milestone: $2.4B in RWAs on Arbitrum 💪🏻

Stepping outside crypto for a moment - today marks a historic milestone in self-driving trucking. Aurora has completed its first commercial freight delivery with no human on board. This is the start of the trucking industry’s full transition to autonomy.

Congrats to everyone involved in the Pectra upgrade! Huge progress on the Ethereum side.

The Pectra upgrade is another win for Ethereum.org and Arbitrum. Doubling blob capacity means Arbitrum One gets closer to Solana on cost. Next up: the Fusaka upgrade will push this even further. Let’s go! 🚀

Now imagine the speed of this on Arbitrum 👀

Institutional RWA adoption isn’t theoretical—it’s happening fast @USDai_official is financing infrastructure onchain, unlocking new private credit use cases and boosting capital efficiency / yield opportunities Catch the Nasdaq mention w/ A.J. Warner & @jillmalandrino 👇

The Arbitrum DAO continues to reinvest into t-bills and MMF with the STEP program! Here’s what I hope to see moving forward: 1/ This initial liquidity allocation would catalyse greater adoption of these assets across a diverse set of investors and DeFi use cases on Arbitrum

I've already received a few queries on how we landed with Arbitrum. 1. Steven Goldfeder got on direct calls with both me and WildPaul VERY early on. A founder jumping in so quickly gives us confidence in the level of access we might have to the builders. 2. Sometime ago we got

If you’re not following Rho Protocol, you’re missing one of the most interesting teams in crypto-native interest rate derivatives on Arbitrum. Just sold out their first yield product in 5 days.

5 days and sold out with $500K in stablecoin deposits Rho Protocol might’ve just found early PMF on Arbitrum 👀

Did you know Japan could have led humanoid robotics? Honda shut down ASIMO in 2018. Meanwhile: – Agility Robotics spun out of Oregon State in 2015 – Apptronik spun out of UT Austin in 2016 – Tesla Optimus launched in 2021 – Figure launched in 2022 Many such cases.

sui reminds me a lot of mantra they have complete control over the token supply 25% float - never did an airdrop to community just a public token sale of ..checks note.. 2.25% of the supply at launch rest is owned by investors & foundation future of finance

Encrypted DeFi is coming

Enterprises care about encrypted DeFi. This is where I see the privacy teams finding PMF.

RWA TVL on Arbitrum is skyrocketing In 1 year, TVL has grown from $4 million to $266 million. We've seen adoption from major tradfi companies like Blackrock and Wisdom Tree and amazing organic traction from Spiko. The land of liquidity is flowing Arbitrum Everywhere

Arbitrum’s biggest competition isn’t Base or Solana. It’s Hyperledger and Canton. The real upside in DeFi is with TradFi and fintechs. They have the assets, users, and distribution. If Arbitrum matches that infra and wins those deals, it truly becomes Arbitrum Everywhere.

Ethereum’s Michael Saylor is here 😎

I like the shift from points to regulated ICO’s. This was Ethereum’s original product market fit and Arbitrum could do well here too.

In the future I’ll tell my kids I survived three Melnick chains: Polygon zkEVM Berachain Katana When the fourth one launches, I ascend. Preferably with a commemorative NFT.
