Spoke at @PennBlockchain Conference last week on institutional adoption & what it actually takes to bring capital on-chain.
Fun convo with a great group... and shoutout to @Gemini for sponsoring the hackathon 🙌 🚀

had a lot of fun on the @PennBlockchain conference panel with @kinaumov, @jonoBSB, @vikramcantsingh & Justin

Following the @PennBlockchain panel in Philly, one point continues to stand out:
Tokenization only matters when assets gain real liquidity, distribution, collateral utility, and settlement, not just onchain representation.
The debate is now about sequencing: what actually scales first, Treasuries or private credit?

Nothing better than taking the stage with great founders (shout out @goodalexander @0xZergs @dotcuriouscat). Thanks @PennBlockchain for having me!

USDai gives agents what no other stablecoin does: cheaper compute.
Use USDai → lower GPU financing rates → less per GPU hour → lower cost per token.
Agents optimize for survival. USDai is the obvious choice.

Few teams impress me on all fronts: infra, community, great UX, and onboarding young adults.
@1inch is one of the rare ones killing it across the board.
My wife @MrsHossette and I were really impressed with @PennBlockchain panels and overall energy at the Penn Museum.
We’re excited to see what’s next!🫡

Compute for storage or energy for a ride on the @SpaceX rocket.
Alkahest can handle it. Most escrow systems can only handle one asset type.
Build an agentic application for our open bounty at @PennBlockchain.

I'm currently at the @PennBlockchain Conference hosted at the University of Pennsylvania. 🎙️
Here are the top takeaways from Cynthia Lo Bessette from Fidelity @DigitalAssets and Ben Slocum from the Penn Endowment.
- Wherever you have central clearing and intermediaries, there is room for crypto to move in.
- Agentic commerce is closer than most people think.
- The pace of regulatory guidance has picked up significantly under this administration.
- Congress still needs to lock in policies so that future administrations cannot walk back progress.
The best comment from Cynthia Lo Bessette was the following:
"We will know this asset class has truly matured the day we stop saying 'digital asset management' and just say asset management."
Thank you to all the partners, @artemis, @solana , No Limit Holdings, @BNBCHAIN, @DSAForg, @Polymarket , @Gemini, @1inch, @cracked_labs, @Filecoin, and @ovrclk_, @akashnet.

The intersection of technical architecture and regulatory frameworks determines what DeFi can become.
