Perry Mehrling, RIP. According to the History of Economics Society, Perry Mehrling died "Monday night from injury sustained in a fall several days earlier." He was Professor of International Political Economy at Boston University and, previously, longtime Professor of Economics at Barnard College. He was a highly esteemed historian of economics. Here is his homepage: sites.bu.edu/perry/ His last book: "Money and Empire: Charles P. Kindleberger and the Dollar System" amzn.to/47RVhJ2 "Charles Kindleberger ranks as one of the twentieth century's best known and most influential international economists. This book traces the evolution of his thinking in the context of a 'key-currency' approach to the rise of the dollar system, here revealed as the indispensable framework for global economic development since World War II. Unlike most of his colleagues, Kindleberger was deeply interested in history, and his economics brimmed with real people and institutional details. His research at the New York Fed and BIS during the Great Depression, his wartime intelligence work, and his role in administering the Marshall Plan gave him deep insight into how the international financial system really operated. A biography of both the dollar and a man, this book is also the story of the development of ideas about how money works. It throws revealing light on the underlying economic forces and political obstacles shaping our globalized world." Charles Goodhart: "The discipline of economics is balanced, somewhat unsteadily, between two legs, with the skill of the historian on one side and of the mathematical modeler on the other. In the second half of the 20th century, the tide flowed strongly to elevate the second leg and to diminish the first. In this delightful biography of Charlie Kindleberger, a charming and loveable man, Perry Mehrling shows how Charlie, in his chosen role, as an international monetary economist, fought against that tide, often unsuccessfully. Perry writes so beautifully that one would only need a smattering of economics to enjoy the tale; while if one is interested in the history of economic thought in international monetary economics, then this book is, of course, a must read.' amzn.to/47RVhJ2

Three weeks ago @GabeOtte called @OndoFinance's stock tokens "indisputably worse for the end investors than even common stocks." Today he doubled down with Ondo on the call and Peter Curley gets a chance to respond. Full exchange 👇

We've been fighting for your 4%, but on Tuesday night in Paris, we asked what else is holding Europe back. Institutions building here told us, unfiltered, which rules will decide whether they stay or go elsewhere, because that’s the reality of the September 30th deadline. The MiCA review is the chance to fix it. Thanks to @50Partners for co-hosting, and to our friends Roeland of @coinbase and @SebVentures of @SteakhouseFi for joining the room 🇪🇺

Today, we’re launching Senepol. Senepol provides directorship and governance services for digital asset foundations and related token structures in the Cayman Islands. Senepol is backed by Steakhouse Financial. Over the past few years, the Steakhouse team has developed deep expertise across vault curation, protocol development, and complex cross-border transactions, giving it direct operational experience with the structures that underpin onchain finance. Senepol is a natural outcome of that work. As onchain finance continues to grow, we’re excited to bring what we’ve learned at Steakhouse to our clients. If you’re building something ambitious, we’d love to hear from you. senepol.ky/

Europe's central banks also asked Brussels to scrap MiCA's rule forcing stablecoin issuers to hold 30% to 60% of reserves as bank deposits, and to replace it with limits on how fast those reserves can be turned into cash. unchainedcrypto.com/ecb-and-…
