Amazing how much more innovative and forward thinking ICE has been relative to its competitors. Lesson in there about founder run businesses (and Jeff Sprecher himself) relative to professional execs who are incentivized to quell innovation. And shout out to @mblaugrund who has been tirelessly spearheading all their work across prediction markets, tokenization, and perps.

News from the Dragonfly team: @HadickM and @tomhschmidt have been promoted to Managing Partners, leading @dragonfly alongside myself and Bo.
Both Tom and Rob have been central to building the firm into what it is today, from the deals we've led, our leadership in industry, to the founders we've stood behind through every cycle.
Our mission is the same: backing the founders building the future of money and markets. Going forward, Dragonfly is run by the four of us.

Over the last four years during my time at Dragonfly, we’ve consistently discussed who we look up to, how we want the firm to evolve and exist many years from now, and what is the legacy we want to leave behind. The Benchmark partnership model and their ability to see around corners is one we have consistently come back to as a North Star, and I’m excited and proud to continue to help lead Dragonfly into that future, alongside Haseeb, Bo and Tom, as we grow and continue to back the best founders innovating across money, markets and intelligence.

It's official: Polymarket is now a Preferred Prediction Market Exchange of the NBA 🏀
Official NBA data, exclusive activations, and a whole new era of basketball starts now.
I’m pleased the @CFTC and @NBA have signed an MOU continuing the Commission’s commitment to increasing data sharing between the agency and professional sports leagues. The NBA joins the @MLB and @NHL in taking a responsible step toward protecting sports integrity and market participants from abuses in prediction markets like insider trading and fraud.
I thank NBA Commissioner Adam Silver for putting the integrity of professional basketball and America’s financial markets first and for working with the agency on this MOU.

Big news out of Canada.
Codex is now registered as a payment service provider with the Bank of Canada as “Codex Financial Canada Limited” under the Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA), and is also a FINTRAC-registered MSB.
This paves the way for Codex to expand its third-party payment services, helping businesses pay and get paid across borders, with support for both fiat currencies and stablecoins.
Stay tuned.

Compute is to the future what Oil has been to the industrial age. We commend the @CFTC for their innovative thinking on this topic and are excited to be able to help contribute through these comment letters.

This week, @dragonfly filed a comment letter with the CFTC on compute derivatives. Compute is a swiftly growing expense for tech companies, yet the market for hedging its cost is still nascent.
The challenge starts with defining what’s being traded. Not all GPU-hours are equal: hardware, performance, and availability can materially affect their value. Liquid derivatives markets need comparable units of compute and reliable price benchmarks.
@HadickM @bryanmedelman @peteryshin and I advocate for technology-neutral standards, equal treatment of credible pricing sources, and support for perpetual futures to hedge ongoing compute costs.
We applaud @CFTC for taking on these important questions and laying the groundwork for a liquid, competitive compute derivatives market.

Incredibly big milestone for @bamazizimesh and @meshpay, expanding stablecoin payments to merchants globally direct from wallet with @Visa. Love to see them continue to crush it.
Opening night at @money2020: our CEO @bamazizimesh sat down with @alexblania, fresh off the launch of @world_id for banking and finance. When agents start paying on our behalf, proving there's a real human behind them becomes core payments infrastructure.
