@mural_pay just raised $28M total - incl a $15M Series A led by @tether w @NorthIslandVC!
@DCGco has backed this team since the 2022 seed, when stablecoin rails for cross-border payments sounded early and unobvious. Now Mural has hit -$2.1B processed, 128 countries, ‘26 volume already ~6x all of ‘25.

Patrick Witt worked tirelessly in his role shaping crypto policy, and the industry benefited from his leadership. Public service rarely gets the appreciation it deserves and he stepped up at every turn. Thank you, @patrickjwitt!
Serving in this administration has been the privilege of a lifetime.
From helping to stand up the most successful presidential transition in history alongside @howardlutnick and @EDSecMcMahon, to rebuilding our defense industrial base as PTDO Deputy Under Secretary for R&E and then Acting Director of OSC at @DeptofWar, to driving forward President Trump’s vision to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world” as Executive Director of the @WhiteHouse Crypto Council, I consider myself to have been the luckiest guy in the world over these past two years.
First and foremost, I want to thank @POTUS for the opportunity to serve the American people again in your second term. Your clear-eyed vision to ensure the United States remains the undisputed global superpower at this time of unprecedented technological change and geopolitical strife is critical to our nation’s future prosperity.
Second, I want to thank @DavidSacks for your visionary leadership and mentorship. I am so grateful to have been able to work with you and learn from you over the past year. Thank you also to @USWREMichael, James Mazol, @HarryYJung, Nick Elliot, Tyler Williams, @lukejpettit, Jonathan Hurowitz, Andrew Rittenhouse, Michael Friedman, @atitus7, @passalacqua_mj, @willscharf, @JamesCBraid, @MayMailman, Steve Levine, Patrick Butler, Zach Carstens, and countless others across the administration for being the best colleagues anyone could ask for. It was an honor to serve alongside you.
Lastly, thank you to @SECPaulSAtkins and @ChairmanSelig, @SecScottBessent, @USComptroller Gould, @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis, @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @JohnBoozman, @SenThomTillis, @RepFrenchHill, and @RepBryanSteil for your partnership in advancing crypto policy over the past year with the passage of the GENIUS Act and our work to advance the CLARITY Act. With regulators and elected officials like you, I rest easy knowing the future of digital asset innovation in America is bright.
Regarding next steps, I’ll have to more to share soon. For now, I’ll say this: I am extremely bullish on America as we embark upon a new golden age of technological advancement across multiple frontiers. I’m grateful to have done my part to unleash American innovation while in government, and I look forward to advancing that same mission in the private sector! 🇺🇸
Privacy matters now more than ever.
Proud to sponsor the third annual DC Privacy Summit and support the important conversations happening tomorrow around the future of privacy and digital innovation. See you in DC!
Tomorrow! Join us at the DC Privacy Summit where we'll be having crucial discussions about the future of privacy, identity, and security online.

On 24 September, 600 delegates gathered at M Resort & Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, making #LIDAC26KL as the largest Luno Institutional Digital Asset Conference yet, with strong representation across banking, regulators, asset management, and Web3 in the region.
From deep conversations on institutional adoption, tokenisation, and stablecoins, to our announcement of a collaboration with Kenanga Investors and @HalogenCapital to explore UMYR, a Ringgit-pegged stablecoin designed for tokenised fund settlement, it was a day packed with milestones for Malaysia's digital asset journey.
We can't thank our esteemed guests, distinguished panelists and speakers, and everyone who made LIDAC KL 2026 possible enough.
It was a big day for Malaysia's digital asset journey, and we're so glad you were part of it.
Watch the full official recap video to relive it all 🎥

Congratulations and thank you to @colyermike for seven years building @FoundryServices into the operator of the world's largest Bitcoin mining pool.

What BitTorrent did for files, we want to do for AI inference.
Antseed lets anyone buy and sell access to AI models, on their own terms.
The Antseed Foundation has raised $2.4M in a token round led by Spark Capital to help make that happen.

Fortitude Secures Priority Supply Allocation for @BITMAINtech's Next-Generation Zcash Mining Equipment, Announces $100 Million Non-Binding Purchase Commitment, and Additional Upsizing of DCG Credit Facility and Available $ZEC Funding from @DCGco.
The announcement builds on Fortitude’s approximately 4.7 GSol/s of operating hashrate, more than 60 MW of contracted power capacity and previously announced 9,000-unit order of BITMAIN ANTMINER Z15 Pro miners.
“Fortitude’s vision is to be the largest vertically-integrated Zcash mining platform,” said @JaimeLeverton, CEO of Fortitude. “Securing a priority supply allocation for BITMAIN’s next-generation equipment, alongside our existing operating base and previously announced Z15 Pro order, positions Fortitude to expand its fleet with industry-leading hardware as it becomes available. We believe there is a significant opportunity to invest in Zcash mining infrastructure today, and Fortitude is well positioned to lead that buildout.”

In the same WSJ interview, I also said there wouldn't be "public" and "private" companies in a decade, just companies trading on markets with different rules.
Looking at tokenization and the move toward 24/7 trading today, I think I nailed that one too.
In 2011 @BarrySilbert told @marykissel at WSJ that he thought the SEC should let investors qualify for private markets by passing a test, not via net worth. Last week the SEC proposed exactly that. 15 years later, still a good idea.

Excited for the great conversations to come at @token2049 in Singapore next week.
Always great to catch up with our @DCGco backed founders and investors, and meet with new talent building in web3 and AI.
We invest across the full stack and are always eager to learn, exchange views on the market and anything in between.
Hit us up. DM’s open!

Personal one: @danbabbles the founder of my first venture investment at @DCGco and one of the best humans in payments just had his company GTXN acquired by our own @LunoGlobal. And yes - He's staying on as CEO!
2nd payments exit in 6 yrs (Beyonic → @Onafriq was the first). Some people just keep building.

A week ago, as São Paulo Tech Week 🇧🇷 wrapped, @DCGco co-hosted one of the best nights we've had in a while - alongside @kyanekassiri who relocated from Tunisia to Brazil just 48 hours before walking into the room. That's commitment to a market!
The room: 14 VCs, 9 founders and operators. Grateful to everyone who showed up with that electric energy ⚡️
Thanks to @SummerMersinger for her tireless leadership at @BlockchainAssn through a pivotal period in digital asset policy and to @KristinSmith on stepping in as interim CEO. DCG is a proud supporter of BA and its mission for our industry
Blockchain Association CEO @SummerMersinger will step down on October 16, while remaining as an advisor through the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition. Board President @KristinSmith will serve as interim CEO beginning on October 17.
