Tokenize the world.
Stablecoins passed a $4.6 billion market cap in March 2020. Today they are 64x larger, a $297 billion market, and the rails behind payments and settlement at some of the largest firms in finance. Tokenized stocks crossed $4.6 billion this quarter. Tokenize the World.

In DeFi, “flexible” usually means someone can change the rules later Predictable rules are a feature, not a limitation

What if you could embed the rules for an AI agent in the money itself? Agents misinterpret prompts and break the social construct you give them, but they can’t violate rules embedded in the rail. W/ @money2020 @reginatto @Anchorage

"But Brian, why would anyone want non-USD stablecoins?"
Wall Street (Goldman Sachs) just sent a private memo to billionaires admitting the US banking system is running on fumes... while feeding you "rate hike" panic on television so you sell your assets cheap. Yesterday, 10th Nov, Goldman Sachs officially warned institutional clients that the next major repo liquidity crisis is ALREADY on the 2027 calendar admitting bank liquidity is "just enough to make everything appear normal, but insufficient to withstand any unexpected shocks." Sound familiar? It should.. because I have been warning you about this exact empty Reverse Repo trap for weeks while bond nerds in my replies laughed and called me dramatic. Here is the dirty secret they don't put on financial news: In the EXACT same month the Fed threatens rate hikes on TV, it is quietly restarting Treasury bill purchases in the background because the cash cushion is EMPTY (sitting at 0.15B yesterday on the Fed's own chart). They scare retail with rate-hike headlines while secretly turning the liquidity tap back on for Wall Street. Stop staring at red candles and watch the plumbing.. when the Fed has to inject money while pretending to tighten, the trap has already snapped shut. Keep stacking scarce assets like Bitcoin before the 2027 floodgates blow wide open.

2/ Most lending pools are open-ended, meaning lenders can try to leave whenever they want, and borrowers can stay for as long as they want Those two promises can’t both hold, and the conflict shows up at the worst possible moment

DeFi lending has spent years trying to answer one question What is this collateral worth? The more important question gets far less attention When does each side get to walk away? 🧵

Strong compliance controls are essential for any stablecoin. With @0xPredicate, any company launching a stablecoin on M0 can set the right compliance policy for its asset and update it as needs change.
What does real-time compliance look like for stablecoins? @m0 is an onchain development platform for financial products. Predicate is the default sanctions enforcement provider across their stablecoins. Let's take a look ↓

Before you deposit into any lending protocol, ask three questions Who sets the prices? Who can change the rules? How do I get my money out?

The Ferrari Pickup Truck. Listen Sweethaht is a family-style Wall Street series. “There’s A Ferrari In My Living Room!” is a story about how the famous Charging Bull came to Wall Street. And why. Based on the true story of Arturo di Modica. Here’s a clip:

The protocols that survive aren’t the ones with the most features. They’re the ones where every feature has earned its place.

Stablecoins against gold. ETH against staked ETH. Governance tokens against dollars. On Ajna, any pair can be a lending market, and every pool runs on the same rules.
