We have been trying to hire Stacey for years. With the convergence of capital markets and public blockchains, now was the time for her to join and lend her remarkable ability to anticipate issuer needs and inspire her colleagues with her energy and spirit. I am so excited/Bullish.

Today we announced plans to acquire @vinylequity, a digital-native transfer agent and shareholder recordkeeping platform. Companies preparing to go public face growing demands for transparency, efficiency and access to liquidity. This acquisition will bring recordkeeping and transfer agency capabilities to Morgan Stanley at Work, so companies can manage equity administration and shareholder services in one place. Together, we'll continue to strengthen our integrated approach to serving companies and their shareholders. Read more: mgstn.ly/4CaGasn

37 years ago, the Berlin Wall came down.
The wall that divided not just Berlin, but the country and the whole continent of Europe in two, stood for 28 years.
It was brought down by a peaceful revolution on 9 November 1989.

Settlement speed is a balance sheet lever. Until a trade settles, firms tie up margin, clearing buffers, and counterparty exposure. Under @NYSE’s plan, @avax would settle trades instantly, which could free that capital for brokers and market makers to redeploy.
The ATS an NYSE affiliate is building will use Avalanche as its blockchain, per Ava Labs. Still missing: the name of the clearing firm, a launch date and the regulatory approval the venue needs first.

This photo by Jabin Botsford of the WSJ that captures Talarico supporters in Austin, TX celebrating on Election Night, November 3rd. This was millions of Americans across the country--at election headquarters, in their living rooms, at bars, at work. Pulitzer worthy!

1/ Big day for @solana. @formation_so has notified the SEC that it intends to operate the first tokenized securities venue on Solana, with tokenized U.S. stocks carrying the same voting and dividend rights as traditional shares. This one has been a long time coming…

The New York Stock Exchange has selected Avalanche ($AVAX) as the exclusive blockchain for settling tokenized U.S. stocks on its upcoming 24/7 trading platform, according to the WSJ.
NYSE cited Avalanche’s speed, throughput and compliance capabilities.
The platform is targeting a Q4 launch, pending regulatory approval, with instant settlement and stablecoin funding.

THE BLOCK: Coinbase has secured final OCC approval to operate as a nationally chartered trust bank, joining Circle and Ripple.
The charter brings its trust-bank custody operations under federal oversight and lays the groundwork for new payments and related services.

You can't make this up:
At 6:00 PM ET, US stock market futures opened for the first time since Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to a "relationship" with a Chinese spy.
By 6:01 PM ET, S&P 500 futures had erased an implied -$300 billion in market cap.
Then, by 6:07 PM ET, all losses were erased and S&P 500 futures turned green, adding back an implied +$350 billion in market cap as traders bought the dip.
That's a $650 billion swing in implied market cap due to a CEO's relationship.
We all just witnessed the strangest record in stock market history.

Promoting white nationalism, hating humanity, and giving away state secrets to Chinese honeytraps aside, I absolutely trust tech leaders with our future.
