Onchain trading is fragmenting into two camps One camp is building extraction machines The other is building the place serious onchain traders actually want to live in LAB is the second one. And the numbers are proving it 🧵👇

We are thrilled to support our long-term partners at @okx and @XLayerOfficial in their latest milestone: the launch of Exchange OS! 🔥 The demand for onchain trading has been proven at scale, but building the backend has traditionally required teams to rebuild the entire infrastructure stack from scratch. Exchange OS provides a powerful third option: a neutral, high-performance onchain execution environment where matching, margin, liquidation, and settlement belong to the protocol. Why this is a game-changer? ▪️Permissionless Deployment: Builders can launch Spot, Perpetuals, or Prediction Markets via the XIP deployment protocol. ▪️Unified Architecture: A single execution environment where one account and the same margin flow seamlessly across all market types, eliminating the need for bridging. ▪️Builder Focus: Deployers retain full control over their branding, listings, and audience, while the infrastructure handles the heavy lifting underneath. As strong believers in institutional-grade onchain infrastructure, we are excited to see how this multi-participant ecosystem will accelerate the next wave of open market networks. Congratulations to the team on this major upgrade to X Layer! 🤝

The reason I’m finding the discourse on Phoenix so uninteresting is: there’s little discussion of the problem they’re uniquely solving as the (capable) team’s message is being drowned out in all the back and forth. Hyperliquid’s success was due to the team solving a major problem of historically poor onchain trading experience. They solved the problem, and the traders flocked there – without the need for a coordinated shill. Along the same lines, @kdotcrypto talks often about the detailed execution and margin problems that @bulktrade is solving – which resonates, and the reason I’m a fan and pay attention. You can listen to my interviews with @0xdoug about the problems he will solve with Ambient – as well as us talking about the problems @TheHUB solves which takes the HL CoLo optimizations to the next level. (Don’t see anybody offering true CoLo at 7 microseconds, time stamping, and multi-cast in one package – unique problem solving.) Whereas Phoenix is: “Give Phoenix a spin because we need it to be successful for Solana to redeem itself from the mess we’re in with perps and for us to prosper?” I guess you’re either solving a problem or activist influencing a potential success to justify a narrative (on its heels). Probably doing the team at Phoenix a bit of a disservice here tbh as their message getting lost in the mix.

BREAKING: Anthropic’s pre-IPO valuation has surged to a record $1.2 trillion, rising +20% in just seven days. According to onchain trading data, its implied valuation has skyrocketed +900% since October 2025, officially making Anthropic ~20% larger than OpenAI. At $1.2 trillion, Anthropic would become the 11th most valuable public company globally—surpassing Berkshire Hathaway to sit just behind Tesla $TSLA and $META. However, from a fundamental perspective, this looks like a "super balloon" inflated by Claude Code’s dominance and extreme investor FOMO. The AI Revolution is accelerating.
