1/ Crypto theft hit a record $8.6B in 2026 through October. Most onchain assets are bearer instruments: steal the key, own the asset. Superstate-tokenized assets work differently. Here’s how we protect your assets onchain: superstate.com/newsroom/how-…

🚨NEW: Crypto Vaults Expose Industry Divide Over Who Should Be Regulated by the SEC Competing industry reports reveal a split among major DeFi players over when human control turns DeFi into a regulated investment product. The debate comes as the SEC rolls out guidance on decentralization, after the Clarity Act stalled in Congress. Read more from me here. ⬇️ cryptoinamerica.com/p/crypto…

The most fascinating aspect of this election is that public perception is still shaped almost exclusively by polls which are conducted and manually synthesized using: - live phone calls - automated telephone recordings - text-to-web Literally the Stone Age in the Superintelligence era

The SEC just released a helpful new FAQ to clarify its token taxonomy further. 🔹Q 1.4 - Establishes that systems can maintain decentralized governance and make use of legal entities like DUNAs. 🔹Q 1.5 - Distinguishes between permissioned and permissionless systems. 🔹Q 1.6 - Clarifies the distinction between "functional" and "decentralized" systems.

“This is definitely the most important race, at least in this current landscape, in terms of dictating the attitude towards tech and crypto for the next Congress,” said Ron Hammond, a crypto lobbyist who is head of policy and advocacy at the digital asset trading firm @wintermute_t and previously worked as an aide to Ohio GOP @Rep_Davidson politico.com/news/2026/11/02…

🚨NEW: As @okx/@ICE_Markets face issuer pushback over their TSV, @NYSE adds @Broadridge, @Computershare, @Equiniti (which @Bullish has agreed to acquire) and @SuperstateInc to its network of transfer agent partners, supporting issuer-sponsored tokenized securities on its planned tokenization platform, announced in January and not yet launched. They join @Securitize and @tZERO. NYSE’s venue is set to launch following regulatory approval and is a separate initiative from OKXICE’s TSV, which falls under the SEC’s Innovation Exemption.

Software is going to become less secure, month by month. At a certain point, we will turn the corner, and new software will be more secure than any written in human history. But crossing that chasm will suck.

I bumped into @sarithaforny this am and slightly embarrassed her and some commuters when I shouted “Vote for Saritha for NY AG!” at the top of my lungs. That’s because we need an AG to enforce the law, not their personal vendetta like Letitia James. This race is winnable, vote!
Another great morning talking to New Yorkers during the morning commute! Coming soon to a subway stop near you…
