In 2017, there were no crypto reporters at Bloomberg or the FT. Tech journalists didn't really get it, and finance journalists were sceptical. Today, Bloomberg has an entire crypto arm. The FT covers digital assets regularly, and the companies in this space have grown up too; they're listing publicly, operating across multiple jurisdictions, and navigating real regulation. That changes everything about how you communicate. @samanthawyap (Founder) and @OttoJacobsson (CEO) sat down to talk about what that shift looks like, what clients are actually asking for now and why great storytelling still matters more than ever in the age of AI.

A Stroke of GENIUS 📜 The OCC has finalised its GENIUS Act stablecoin rules, effective January 2027, leaving the battle over stablecoin yield wide open. PR Angle 🔎 The industry finally has its rulebook, but case-by-case reviews of yield make high-yield stablecoin products less a moat than a drawbridge.

Will the S-1 Stick the Landing? ✈️ The Anthropic IPO is expected in November, and its leaked S-1 is already making headlines. PR Angle 🔎 SpaceX set the stage with the largest IPO in history at $1.77 trillion, and the buzz around Anthropic’s listing suggests similar mayhem.

Alpenglow Lights Up Solana 💡 Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade is live, cutting finality to around 150 milliseconds. PR Angle 🔎 Alpenglow may be a technical upgrade, but it also works as a repositioning.

“It makes no sense that five guys in a Discord could take on billion-dollar incumbents backed by the biggest names in crypto and technology. This is how we did it: maximum value distribution back to users of the platform.” @wagmiAlexander explained to @ViehmanBrendan of @CRYPTO101Pod tinyurl.com/26yhuf97 🛫
