Been working hard to make this deal happen - glad to see it taking flight! Wonder what else this collab might have in store...
The first of our neobank aggregator partnerships is live - you can probably do the math 😎
infiniFi Prime is bringing institutional-grade yield to neobanks and fintechs, powered by real-world credit markets.
The next chapter of infiniFi is taking shape🤝 @blend_money
A DEX you’ve never heard of did $3.9B last month.
@metricxyz has been running in stealth and is now officially live on $BNB, $ETH and Robinhood!
What makes Metric different from other AMMs?
> Oracles fetch the real market price directly (via $LINK or $PYTH)
> Liquidity sits around that price and moves with it
> The pool is no longer its own oracle
When prices move, normal AMMs lag behind. Arbitrageurs profit from that lag and LPs lose.
Metric’s pool follows the price, so the lag never happens.
They’re well connected in the space.
Ex-Uniswap engineering director is CTO and RH Crypto publicly welcomed them.
Metric did $21.9B in all-time volume, so chances are some of your trades already routed through them.
Might as well route through their frontend yourself. Costs the same, and you’re on the list when points come.
LPs usually earn even more points than traders. And at $5.8M TVL, you’re early enough that it still matters.
RWA pairs:
NVDA / USDT: 473%
AAPL / USDT: 456%
QQQ / USDT: 101%
Crypto pairs:
ETH/USDG: 76.9%
USDC/USDT: 10.2%
BTC/USDC: 13%
TL;DR: we are early on Metric. Take a chance.
remember, these guys want to launch a stablecoin and don't want you to earn yield on your own.
the cycle will continue. you do not hate them enough.
🇺🇸 BREAKING: Bank of America has been fined $1.2 BILLION by the US government.
The bank failed to flag over $5 BILLION in suspicious transactions, the Treasury says.
The missed transactions were linked to suspected Chinese money laundering networks and illicit finance around the southern US border.
The Treasury called the bank’s money laundering and sanctions failures “egregious and continued.”
The penalty includes a $750 MILLION fine from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, per the FT.

Replying to @claudeai
@claudeai @AnthropicAI what the hell did y'all do to the Code app sidebar? "Alphabetic listing of projects" made too much sense, and you decided to make it some random assortment instead? Fix yo shit.

The DefiLlama RWA page got an upgrade recently.
Group assets by Platform, Chain, Asset Group, or Category, and new charts show what's driving the RWA sector at a glance.
If you haven't checked in awhile, it's worth a fresh look.
called the RH bottom yesterday in TG.
shared some great plays there too, and we're up decently on them.
going to drop more onchain alfa there: t.me/Amirs_Arsenal
King of the Markets, @standard_rsv’s launchpad, goes live today.
For the next 14 days, deployers and traders compete for a share of the prize pool.
How it works:
> Multiple countries compete against each other. Each country is represented by a tokenized stock
> Devs deploy memes and pair them with those stocks
> Every time someone buys or sells those memes, the country, the trader and the deployer earn points
After 14 days everyone who earned points shares the rewards pool. The top country splits a separate jackpot on top, starting at $1M $USDG and growing with 20% of all trading fees.
What this means for $STANDARD:
You don’t need the token to participate, so the price effect is indirect.
But every meme is paired with a stock token, so every trade pushes volume through pools Standard Reserve owns. Those fees flow back into the protocol’s own liquidity.
They own the pools and the launchpad feeding them.
What this means for RH:
First time we see a prize pool this big. Especially interesting now that the ecosystem just had its first big retrace.
Bad news for $HOOKR and $PONS. They’ll be competing for the same userbase for two weeks.
Good news for the chain. Might be the spark it needs after the retrace.

We designed LlamaSearch to help with this exact problem.
It isn't a full replacement for Google, but crypto natives can find verified links for thousands of crypto projects, apps, and websites.

"you only get one shot at TGE, and that sucks."
i'm not an Ethos user, nor do I know what WHUF is, but Serpin laid out one of the more honest post-TGE reflections to date.
one issue, though likely not the biggest (also noting @katexbt's scathing but truthful take), was choosing a market maker.
i won't pretend to know much about what it takes to properly TGE, but what I DO know is that @DefiLlama and @Forgd_ released the industry's best transparency tool in seeking out MMs.
this index currently lists 43 MMs and assigns them a grade and composite score weighted by the averages of all performance categories:
→ trading KPIs (reflecting depth and volume performance relative to their peers)
→ trust (measures the data-sharing relationship between Forgd; invitation acceptance, data drops, active engagements, reporting)
→ coverage & capabilities (breadth of exchange coverage and service offerings)
→ uptime (measures consistency and reliability of MM operations)
use it to compare MMs across metrics like depth, volume, and spread.
genuinely undervalued tool here.
