Tokenization isn’t about whether assets "can" move onchain anymore. It’s whether the infrastructure becomes useful enough that institutions actually choose to use it. $545M in tokenized U.S. Treasuries on Avalanche, up 4x this year, is a meaningful signal that we’re moving beyond the experiment stage. There’s still plenty to solve around access, liquidity and the customer experience. This is where RWA starts getting interesting.
BREAKING: Tokenized U.S. Treasuries on Avalanche are up 4x this year Up 14% in Q3 alone, to $545M and counting.

Welcome Team1 Thailand!
Team1 Thailand is here 🇹🇭 SaWaDiKa Two crowds are building in Thailand, and they rarely meet: the founders and nomads passing through Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, and the local devs and students ready to ship. We're building the community hub for Avalanche and to bring everybody together. Before launching as an official chapter, we were already on the ground building the foundation: ⬩ Flagship events nationwide, now reaching beyond Bangkok into Chiang Mai ⬩ Workshops and hackathons with 4 university clubs: Thammasat, Chulalongkorn, Kasetsart, and MUIC ⬩ Events co-hosted with Pudgy Penguins, Bitkub, Binance TH, ST Thailand, and 4SEAS ⬩ Builders onboarded in Thai and English, from first wallet to first deployment Our mission is to make Thailand one of Avalanche's biggest builder hubs in Asia and to back adoption where it's already happening: payments, stablecoins, and institutional infrastructure. That means real programs and real outcomes. 🔺 Workshops and hackathons on campus 🔺 Founder support and direct access to Team1 programs 🔺 Project funding with access to Mini Grants, and Accelerator Grants. 🔺 Marketing and distribution support, even for teams that aren't funded 🔺 Community meetups & builder nights Thailand's institutions are coming on-chain, and we're building the community to match. If you're a founder, developer, student, or just passing through Bangkok, we're here, and we'd love to connect. Get involved with Team1 Thailand 👇

Laura, thank you for the trust, partnership, and opportunities, throughout our time building Acre. I’m incredibly proud of what we built together! even more grateful for the people I had the chance to build it with. Your support means more than you know. Thank you for believing in me. 🧡
Some news I don't often get to share: one of the best external-facing operators I've worked with is on the market. The Hypersurface acquisition of Acre was a technology acquisition, not an acquihire. So you have a rare shot at hiring Nico Marotta (@nico186_). He's the teammate everyone hopes to work with once in a career. His warmth turns users into loyal fans: he owned onboarding and support end to end to drive retention. Became the person partners and community trusted most. Repped us at 30+ conferences worldwide. Built AI-powered workflows to scale ops. If you need someone who can give your customers somewhere to belong, not just something to buy, move fast. linktr.ee/nico186. DMs open, or ping me for an intro. Will vouch without hesitation.

Very excited to share this news! Three years ago, I joined @AcreBTC as an early team member alongside @La_Walla_ and an exceptional group of builders with a mission to create a best-in-class Bitcoin compounding product. Today, Acre begins a new chapter with @HypersurfaceX. It's been an incredible journey and I'm grateful to everyone who helped build it. A few reflections on the experience 🧵

4/ I also worked closely with ecosystem partners including @MezoNetwork, @ammalgam, and @dripchain to develop immersive joint campaigns, educational initiatives, and community activations. One of my favorite achievements was helping launch our "Frens" collaboration program, We connected more than 37,000 community members across partner Discord ecosystems.

5/ As institutional adoption accelerated, I was promoted to Head of Ecosystem & Institutional Operations. In this role, I helped support the launch of Acre's first Bitcoin-in / Bitcoin-out vault, and collaborated with industry leaders including @MidasRWA and @Re7Labs on Acre's initial Bitcoin-native vault strategy. I am incredibly grateful to the @AcreBTC team, our partners, contributors, and community members who made this journey possible. Congratulations to the @HypersurfaceX team on this exciting next chapter. I look forward to watching the protocol continue to grow and evolve under their leadership. As we begin this transition, to combine our communities and products into the Hypersurface universe I'm excited to see what comes next for both the project myself. End 🧵
