Is betting on the weather the future of trading? @willums_ thinks so!

@World_XYZ just launched as Solana's native prediction market. crypto prices, World Cup, geopolitics. all onchain, settled in $CASH, resolved by @Chainlink in real time.

What’s so crazy about the AAVE liquidity crisis is that users were getting paid US treasury yields to take defi risk. And then hundreds of millions disappeared. Complete mispricing for the risks involved in putting money in contracts run by crypto people.

Wallets are undervalued by the market. Enormous potential.
Today @phantom received first-of-its-kind no-action relief from the @CFTC. We can now connect users to regulated derivatives markets and event contracts without registering as an introducing broker.

Something this WSJ piece omits is that what @brian_armstrong is arguing for is not obviously in Coinbase's interest: in a world where yield sharing is prohibited, USDC will at least in a first-order way be more directly profitable for Coinbase. As far as I can tell, Brian's position stems from his belief in the importance of a vibrant and competitive market that protects consumer liberty, and I think he deserves a lot of credit for that.

Bin it, and just leave us be.
🚨SCOOP: The White House is considering pulling its support for the crypto market structure bill entirely if @coinbase does not come back to the table with a yield agreement that satisfies the banks and gets everyone to a deal, a source close to the Trump administration tells me.
The White House is said to be furious with Coinbase’s “unilateral” action on Wednesday, which it apparently was not notified of in advance, calling it a “rug pull” against the White House and the rest of the industry. The White House does not believe that one company speaks for the entire industry, the source continued.
“This is President Trump’s bill at the end of the day, not Brian Armstrong’s,” the source said.

Crypto wallets are no longer just wallets.
They’re the front door to a decentralized internet.
In this episode, Phantom CEO Brandon Millman joins a16z crypto Investment Partner Jay Drain and host Robert Hackett to unpack how crypto wallets are evolving into full-blown consumer finance platforms — and why they may be the most credible candidates to become the internet’s next super apps.
We explore Phantom’s journey from a Solana-first wallet to a multi-chain platform, why wallets are uniquely positioned to win trust around money, and how features like onchain trading, perps, social feeds, prediction markets, and payments are reshaping what people expect from a consumer finance app.
The conversation also dives into:
- Why starting with finance may be a better path to a super app than starting with social
- How Phantom thinks about UX, trust, and security in crypto
- The rise of perpetual futures (perps) and prediction markets
- What the FTX collapse meant for Solana — and the counterintuitive silver lining
- Whether AI agents could one day replace apps and browsers
If you’re curious about where crypto, fintech, and consumer apps are headed next — and why wallets may become the most important interface on the internet — this episode is for you.

Aggregation has been Internet’s most valuable business model for over two decades.
Companies that own discovery and distribution win over suppliers.
Amazon. WeChat. Revolut.
Users are happy to pay convenience premiums for fewer apps, fewer logins, fewer handoffs.
And crypto wallets, trading terminals raking in millions from fees prove crypto users are willing to do the same.
The next 12-18 months define crypto's aggregation phase.
The winners won’t be single-purpose protocols, but interfaces that bundle the best ones.
Wrote a deep dive on this coming out next week.
