Alpaca's 3rd Partner Summit in Lisbon is just over a month away, and we want to recognize the sponsors making it possible! 🇵🇹 Thank you to our exclusive prediction market sponsor, @Kalshi, as well as @aquanow, @BlueOceanATS , @BridgeWiseAI, @Broadridge, @citsecurities, @ElefundVC, @Fiscal_ai, @FlowTraders, @GrantThornton, IMC, @LowensteinLLP, @Nasdaq, Nextreg, @NYSE, @Payward, Pierson Ferdinand, Portage, @solana, @Stocktwits, @tribecap, @tradingview, Unbound, @VirtuFinancial, and @VISADIRECT.

Surrounded by blue ocean waters, Gouqi Island, #Zhoushan# is perfect for enjoying sea views 🌊. Head to the viewing platform in Longquan Village, where blue surf from Longquan Beach gently stretches toward the horizon. Let your heart wander freely with the wind 💨.

The reason Robinhood has won market share is because of the adjacent user fantasy. People want to play in ecosystems that can plausibly expand the pie - where’s there’s a blue ocean of potential net new adopters. This is why no social app will ever supersede Twitter as the home for CT. Twitter will always be king because it’s on here that conversations can reach eyeballs outside of our own echo chamber. And it’s why small siloed chains don’t stand a chance against a top US consumer finance app with 25M+ users. Anyways, you know who else is building an ecosystem that reaches millions of ppl outside of this little onchain bubble? Gigaverse.

Notes from Managing Partner @ag_dwf's @TOKEN2049 keynote "The Power of Vision". Change is constant. Each year comes with unique challenges and factors - from politics, regulatory and technological shifts, the macro economy, and good/bad actors. There's a conflict between old and new: - New generation teams are lean and adapt quickly. They make bigger moves. - Older teams are bloated and struggle to keep up, trying to continue with old habits and safe moves. In established markets, for example the CEX landscape, it’s extremely difficult to compete. Teams that find ways to capture blue ocean markets are ones with large upside such as @tether for stablecoins in the early days, @HyperliquidX for perp DEXs. Areas of potential growth: - TradFi perps in the next 12-24 months - Payments - AI x Crypto The markets flows between quantity and quality, freedom and regulation. #DWFLabsxTOKEN2049#
