If you're attending DAS and you aren't already a research/data customer, drop a reply.
I'll find 30min onsite to walk you through the platform.

The institutional bull market is very much in full swing.
Expecting vibes to be immaculate next week, very different than what I've heard from some other more "crypto native" events this year.

Small design update to our editorial site.
A few of our brands now have their own landing pages complete with articles, podcasts, and newsletters.
This is phase 2 of our House of Brands strategy.
Telegram communities and in-person activations for every brand comes next.

Blockworks podcasts are now LIVE on our research and data platform.
A few months ago we realized that people love our podcasts but no one has the time to listen to all 10 of them.
So we indexed every episode we've ever released. Transcribed them. Added summaries and key takeaways... for EVERY episode.
And added all of that to our Blockworks Research platform.
Even better, every episode we release gets automatically added to the platform with summaries, key takeaways, and transcriptions.
Podcast enjoyooors hope you enjoy.

We passed two big sales milestones yesterday.
1) More sales in the first 70 days of 2025 than all of 2023
2) Biggest quarter in Blockworks history
Onwards!

TVL will become the Assets Under Custody metric of crypto.
A fluffy headline metric that actually means very little for a business.
State Street custodies $50 trillion yet is only valued at $25 billion.
Compare that to JPM, who custodies $30 trillion yet is valued at a whopping $645 billion.
It's about what you do with the assets, not about how much you having sitting unproductively on your platform.

Idk the endgame but with the new Zora you can feel the beginning of media, memes, and social coming together.

There's a reason I've been posting about having fun. It's actually very important you find fun while prices are down.
For me:
- Work on long term projects with talented people
- Lift heavy weights
- Get more sunlight
- More time with people IRL, less virtually
- Minimal drinking
- No twitter on phone
That's just what works for me, for you it could be completely different.
If you don't find your fun you won't last long here.

Elon should launch a stablecoin.
It's always been his vision to build a payments platform. Stablecoins are how he accomplishes that goal.
X has 650 million MAUs, 500 million of which are outside the US.
A stablecoin would give these 500 million users access to US dollars and the ability to send these dollars to any other X user.
This would make X one of the largest (the largest?) financial services platforms in the world.
It would instantly rival the Venmos/Cash Apps of the world, and both the legacy banks and the new digital banks.
On the financial side, X is barely breakeven and a stablecoin would create a cash flow machine (Tether made $13 billion in profits last year).
Plus USDX is a clean ticker.

Today we ask "why are you building onchain"
Tomorrow we will ask "why aren't you building onchain"
Crypto unlocks global users, incentives at scale, and global payments.
Soon it'll seem crazy not to leverage this system.

Amazing how much has happened in just one decade.

We got these gorgeous pickleball courts for permissionless.
I think a protocol v protocol tourny is a must.
- optimism v arbitrum
- paradigm v a16z
- solana v avalanche
- polygon v zksync
- wormhole v layerzero
- chainlink v pyth
- render v akash
- aave v morpho
- lens v farcaster
- who else?
Would be epic.

Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback on the UI/UX of our opinion pieces.
1) The "Op-Ed" section is now the "Opinion" section
2) There is now a red "Opinion" label
Small updates but should help as we publish more controversial pieces.
