Is Quai private?
$QI is. It works like cash, onchain.
Fixed denominations and a new address for every payment make payments hard to link together.

Prediction markets are raising major questions about state vs. federal authority, consumer protections, and where to draw the regulatory lines.
I appreciated the opportunity to share my perspective with @DisruptionBank after attending both Texas hearings this week:

Back in November 2018 we published one of the stories that helped shape why we built @DisruptionBank:
“Quants, the hidden superstars of finance.”
Mathematicians and coders quietly rewriting the rules of trading, risk and markets, while traditional desks faded into the background.
Nearly eight years on, that focus hasn’t changed. Quants still sit at the centre of our reporting, from Python taking over risk teams to the latest quant-driven strategies and infrastructure.
The original piece still holds up:

Are quants still the unsung heroes of finance in 2026, or has the spotlight finally found them?

Do Europeans invest in stocks and shares? More importantly, do enough of them invest in stocks and shares?
In the U.S. today more than 50% of the population has a portfolio. In Europe the story is very different.
What do you think the percentage of Italians who invest are?

Is this the big schism between the US and China when it comes to AI that had to happen? Can China's approach to open source make the difference in the #AIrace? We looked into @ClemDelangue's post about transparency. Could this be a turning point for San Francisco and AI collaboration? We think so.. #mrkt30 mrkt30.com/did-openai-build-… – at Debrecen, Hungary

Thank you @DisruptionBank for drawing on Permutable’s #Brent sentiment analysis in this sharp look at how the #oil war premium is shifting from escalation risk to the stickier realities of route, insurance and transit risk:

Last month, a short-seller who lied about public companies on the news was convicted of securities fraud after pocketing around $20 million. After we published an article about the short-seller, @DisruptionBank received a tip about his accomplice.
Now, the hedge fund manager who gave Andrew Left instructions continues to walk free, after pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars.
The manager, Moez Kassam, has a hedge fund in Dallas, Texas, and all the evidence needed to convict Kassam was already published by a court in Ontario.
Why is the SEC sitting on its hands? Will the DoJ act? Disruption Banking investigates the evidence. disruptionbanking.com/2026/0… #wallstreet #Ontario #Texas #hedgefund #shorting #investment #fraud

Bitcoin proved that decentralized Proof-of-Work money can work.
The next question is whether hard money can also scale for everyday use.
