Joining forces with @tradexyz
Welcome to our community.
trade[XYZ] and ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, are joining forces to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States.
In just over a year, our markets on Hyperliquid have surpassed $650 billion in volume. They provide continuous price discovery for stocks, indices, and commodities, and have become trusted reference points for retail and institutions alike when traditional markets are closed. Much of the world trades them. Until now, Americans could only watch.
We intend to change that. Subject to CFTC approval, trade[XYZ] and ICE plan to establish a new, dedicated U.S. market, with novel exchange and clearing infrastructure built on Hyperliquid. Planned contracts span equities, indices, commodities, FX, and crypto, with access through participating brokers and platforms. We’ll share more on products, eligibility, and timing as approvals progress.
ICE brings more than 25 years of experience operating regulated markets, clearing, and managing risk. trade[XYZ] brings the product development, market design, and technology behind the most liquid and robust markets on Hyperliquid.
Innovation and the protections of U.S. regulation shouldn’t be a trade-off. Together, we plan to prove it.
ICE is making a strategic investment in trade[XYZ] and joins us in building towards the future of Hyperliquid. A small group of market luminaries is joining as well, beginning with Stan Druckenmiller. For more than four decades, few investors have anticipated the great turns in markets as often as Stan. We’re proud to have him with us for the next one.
We’re building the U.S. market in parallel with our existing HIP-3 markets, which we’ll continue to expand and innovate on. We expect both to flourish. They each have a long road map ahead, from new asset classes to new ways to trade them.
To the Hyperliquid community, whether you were here before us or came because of us, thank you. You took a chance on new markets and you made them matter. You’ll forever be a part of this story.
Anything. Anytime. On ICE[XYZ].

If anyone is building cars that can backflip or frontflip over a Semi and stick the landing, my DMs are open.
The next generation of mobility isn’t range or 0-60. It’s who can clear a truck while rotating and still land clean enough for production.
Bonus if it does it autonomously and doesn’t need a pilot with a death wish.
We’re writing checks for this. Seriously.

token tl;dr's
usual suspects (founders + vcs etc) still showing up, less KOLs and grifters and random firms trying to sell you weird marketing or advisory services
less tokens being listed in general - almost all new launches engaging in some form of *opinionated* market making, dovetails with less VCs deploying capital and fewer rounds being done. more and more "real businesses" questioning the rationale of having a token at all
generally seeing less "interesting" but more "backable" businesses. tokenization still hot, more cool stuff coming on chain (ie. total return swaps) and more unique sources of yield being tokenized
vibes decent, good to see old friends

I cannot even begin to say how proud I was of Michael “Heinrichtor Scale” Heinrich. It’s a testament to him and his company @0G_labs that he had the initiative and courage to get up there and do comedy for the first time.
@0G_labs - a funny company. Meditate on it. (Inside joke)
Yesterday was a super fun, dream come true kind of day:
Morning recording with @TheBlockCo .
Got roast coaching from @nottjmiller
Roasted @blknoiz06
Made it home to tuck my daughter into bed.
From Silicon Valley to Token 2049 to bedtime stories. I absolutely enjoyed TJ’s character Ehrlich Bachman on one of my favorite shows @SiliconHBO, so it felt surreal to be roasting together. I couldn’t be more grateful for all the coaching from TJ, I had so much fun and really enjoyed giving standup for the first time! He truly is one of the most genuine and kind people I have met. And Ansem is just brilliant, he did his first roast without any written material and totally went off the cuff. Mind blowing 🤯.

Hey everyone,
First, I'm honestly blown away by everything that's been happening lately. We can't thank our traders and supporters enough, truly. My team and I have been working on Vest for almost five years now. We are traders ourselves who started Vest because we thought we could build the product we all wanted to use ourselves. We spent years doing open-source research for the betterment of the industry (research.vest.xyz), often with no one watching. We pivoted dozens of times. We were told over and over again that what we were doing wouldn't work, that it was impossible, that we should give up, sell, walk away. We faced rejection, after rejection, after rejection. There were days it felt like no one believed in this but us. So to see all of that work, all of those late nights and hard calls, finally turn into something traders actually love and use every day is extremely humbling. It means more to us than I can put into words. Truly, thank you.
Second, I want to address the allegations of wash trading head on head-on, because they come from a HUGE misunderstanding of how our product is different from other perp DEXs. We're not just another perps dex, but also a funded account platform. In fact the large majority of our traders use funded accounts. When they do, they can get up to $25k accounts for as little as $210. They can then open positions of up to $1.25M notional on some markets like ES and NQ. These accounts have a daily loss and drawdown limit, so most traders trade shorter-horizon and flip positions often. If they pass their evaluation phase, their trades are in “live” mode and get shown in the A-book where they trade against other traders and market participants. Because of the nature of the high implicit leverage and max drawdowns, that usually leads to high volume and low OI behavior on the live market.
This is now accurately displayed on ALL OFFICIAL Vest platforms. We’ve gone through a few iterations of the front end to move away from combined 24H volume. Previously, if you hovered over the volume number on Vest, you can see the breakdown of eval and live volume. To make it even more obvious, we now explicitly display both at all times. In our API’s we now very clearly separate and document our eval and live volume. If anyone has feedback on how to make this clearer, our team is always here to listen.
Part of the confusion is what is shown on official Vest platforms and what is not. We cannot control what third party aggregators use to display us. Some of them are also using information from an old outdated exchange that we are deprecating. We also cannot control if they decide to put us in the same comparison with other perp DEXs where the product offering is fundamentally different. I also take some blame for not reaching out to all aggregators beforehand and making sure that everything is up to date, but there are hundreds of aggregators out there, and I hope you’ll excuse me on this front.
It is our belief that the perpetual future is the best asset class for retail traders to trade with. It has been our goal, and vision, to onboard the rest of the world - the futures traders, the CFD traders, the options traders and more - onto this form factor that we believe is ultimately better for them. We believe that funded accounts are the best way to learn and trade with this new form factor because it lowers the barrier to entry.
We have been extremely blessed beyond belief to achieve this mission. If you search up vestexchange on twitter, we have thousands of traders from traditional finance that have never traded perps, receiving payouts and expressing really positive feedback on our platform. Many of the feedback is that “we are too good to be true” because our rules are so trader friendly. I will continue to answer all feedback and hopefully continue to help explain anything people are uncertain about.
Like all other platforms and exchanges, affiliates receive a commission on referrals. Some partners also have content creation and partnership deals, but these are few and far between and we ask all of our affiliates to disclose when posting. Candidly, we also don’t really want to burden our balance sheet with 5 or 6 figure retainer deals because that value should be passed onto traders in any way we can.
For those who haven’t tried out Vest. I would love to onboard you! For those who are FUDDing Vest (mostly competitors), I would ALSO love to onboard you and for you to see why we’ve achieved such fast growth! It is our goal to build the best platform for retail traders, and I am glad that our product is putting pressure for innovation in this space.

The cryptographic world computer:
vitalik.eth.limo/general/202…
My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties.
FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.
