Time to grind: the accelerator + first tokenized VC fund!
Let’s go 🇸🇻

Finally, you can get real healthcare directly from your Claude, ChatGPT, GrokBot, Muse, or Instinct.
Just tell them to use FutureClinic. Agents welcome.
Healthcare will never be the same again.

We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech!
Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs.
This is a GPT3 moment for speech.
Bob Ras retweeted
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

USTX is live. Now we build on it.
Yesterday’s launch brings another piece of our tokenization vision to life.
Wallet ✅
Native liquidity ✅
RWAs & scale mode: incoming 🚀
Issued by @brale_xyz, USTX brings native dollar liquidity to tx - our next step in building TVL and a settlement layer for tokenized stocks and other RWAs.
The opportunity is substantial: roughly $300 billion in stablecoins today, with trillions projected in the next few years.
We’re building tx to compete for that capital.
Our plans include USTX integrations and listings, vault opportunities, and additional user rewards. We also plan to support more chains and stablecoins, giving capital more ways into the tx ecosystem. USTX will continue to evolve and grow, serving as the foundation for everything to come.
These pieces are coming together with one goal: make tx a destination for capital and the assets people want to own.
$USTX is now live.
The native stablecoin of tx, issued by @brale_xyz and fully backed 1:1.
Bring your liquidity onto tx for the real-world asset markets ahead.
Minting is open in the tx Super App or via the official web portal:

USTX is bringing a native stablecoin to tx and will be the foundation of all RWAs and tokenized equities, minted via USDC from supported networks.
USTX will be available to mint from Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and Solana on Day 1.

Finally able to go public with this:
Weave has recently opened our latest San Francisco office at the Legion of Honor.
If you're passionate about home robotics or neoclassical architecture revival, we're hiring.
This is the capital of robotics! 🌁
Silicon Valley is home to so many physical AI companies that you could spend a month visiting them and still not see even 10% of them (trust me, I tried).
So, the Bay Area is the world's leading ecosystem for robotics startups, bringing together top AI talent, top universities, experienced founders, and unmatched access to capital.
The region is anchored by Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley, two of the world's top universities for AI and robotics. They produce a constant stream of researchers, founders, and breakthrough technologies.
The Bay Area is also home to many of the companies shaping the future of robotics and AI, including @Figure_robot, @physical_int, @GeneralistAI, and major AI labs such as @OpenAI, or @GoogleDeepMind.
This concentration of talent makes it easy for startups to recruit experienced engineers and collaborate with leaders in embodied AI.
Not mentioning that it is also home to leaders such as @NVIDIARobotics, whose headquarters and leadership in AI chips power much of today's robotics revolution, and Tesla, whose work on autonomous driving and humanoid robots has created a deep pool of robotics, AI, and manufacturing talent.
Perhaps its biggest advantage is access to capital, talent and ambition.
The Bay Area has the world's deepest network of venture capital firms, serial entrepreneurs, and technical leaders who are willing to fund bold, long-term robotics companies.
In the comments I'll post the companies from the ecosystem.
‼️ Note that Bay Area has >300 robotics companies, research labs, and innovation hubs, so this is a curated selection of the notable product companies, not an exhaustive census!
P.S. I'm constantly working on improving these maps, so if your company is missing, please DM me with basic info about the co, and I will include it in the next release.
P.S.2 I have last open slots for my December RoboTour in the Bay Area, if you want to create content together and show the world what are you cooking, dm! :)

Figure is proud to partner with NVIDIA on this
Humanoid robots will soon be in the home and workplace. They have to be safe and trusted
Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry.
Artificial intelligence is extraordinary technology that will advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity for generations to come.
But its full promise can only be realized when people have confidence that AI is being built to be safe and deployed with wisdom and responsibility.
This is bigger than a single product. It's the beginning of an open ecosystem to build the trust layer for safe agent systems.
Together, we are building the foundation of the AI economy.
Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world. nvda.ws/4hcoq7m

Eight networks in. One destination.
USTX launches in October as the native stablecoin of tx, issued by @brale_xyz and fully backed 1:1.
Mint it from USDC on the network you already use, and hold it where tokenized stocks, ETFs and real-world assets will settle. 👇
Bob Ras retweeted
A native stablecoin may look like a small piece of infrastructure.
Until you ask what the market settles in. 👀
With USTX, @txEcosystem is preparing a native liquidity layer for its upcoming RWA marketplace:
• tokenized stocks
• ETFs
• other real-world assets
• settlement directly on TX
Instead of fragmenting liquidity across external stablecoin routes, the idea is to keep the asset and its settlement rail on the same chain.
USTX, issued by @brale_xyz and announced as fully backed 1:1, could therefore become more than “another dollar token”.
It could become the cash layer underneath TX’s tokenized markets. 💵⚙️
For an ecosystem positioning itself around RWAs, that is a rather important piece of plumbing.

Introducing USTX.
The native stablecoin of the tx ecosystem will launch in October.
USTX is issued on tx chain and built for what comes next: tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other real-world assets, providing stable liquidity on their native chain.
Why a natively issued stablecoin?
Tokenized markets are only as strong as the liquidity behind them. Today much of that liquidity sits in USDC, spread across many networks. USTX concentrates it into one native balance on tx, acting as a settlement layer for assets issued there.
In traditional markets, trading and settlement are separate processes. On-chain, the asset and the payment can move together, and a native stablecoin allows that process to scale efficiently.
USTX is one of the final additions before the tx marketplace goes live: a simple way to bring dollars onto tx and use them across the assets issued there. For issuers and traders, that means deeper liquidity in one place. For the ecosystem, it means the foundation is set for those assets to arrive.
Fully backed 1:1 and issued by @brale_xyz in partnership with tx.
Bob Ras retweeted
This is how an ecosystem strengthens its foundation.
In partnership with @brale_xyz , USTX gives TX a native liquidity layer that will power tokenized stocks, ETFs, and real-world assets across our marketplace.
With support for USDC from multiple chains, USTX creates a simple path for bringing liquidity onto TX. It is an important step toward building meaningful TVL and one of the final building blocks before RWAs go live.
The wallet is live. Native liquidity is next. Leading the entire RWA space is the future.

Transparent markets are the ones users and issuers trust. For tokenized assets, it starts with buyers knowing exactly what a token gives them.
tx Co-Founder and CLO @jaebersole1 on @milkroaddaily, on building tokenized markets while the rules are still being written.
The CLARITY Act failed - but that doesn’t mean crypto regulation stops.
The SEC and CFTC can still move forward through rulemaking, exemptions, and guidance.
The catch? Regulation is much easier for a future administration to reverse than legislation passed by Congress.
