I'm very honored (and surprised 🙃) to be included in the coindesk #mostinfluential2023 list this year! I'm not so sure I deserve it, but I sure do appreciate it 🙏
🎉 The wait is over. Introducing CoinDesk's #MostInfluential2023.
This annual list (no, it's not a ranking) recognizes the people who, for the better, and sometimes the worse, defined the year in digital assets and Web3.
We recognize 50 honorees and entities, with the top 10 making an outsized impact.
We also asked select digital artists to create NFTs for 10 of the honorees. Each NFT will be up for auction for 24 hours starting at 12 p.m. ET today and a portion of the proceeds will go to @HungerProject. You can find them over on @TransientLabs 👉 go.coindesk.com/most-influen…
Here's a look at the top 10 👇
• Casey Rodarmor (@rodarmor): For shaking up #Bitcoin with his "Ordinals Theory."
• Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot): For building a political fundraising machine for crypto that's ready to sway elections in 2024.
• Jenny Johnson: For being at the forefront of Wall Street's embrace of #bitcoinETFs and crypto technology.
• Lido DAO (@LidoFinance): For becoming a victim of its own success and attracting criticism as its share of staked $ETH has grown to nearly one-third.
• Paolo Ardoino (@paoloardoino): For diversifying @tether’s investments after a banner year where the stablecoin giant is on track to profit $4.5 billion.
• Jose Fernandez da Ponte: For helping @PayPal unveil its own Ethereum-based U.S. dollar stablecoin.
• Gary Gensler (@GaryGensler): For having more influence on crypto than any regulator or law enforcement official this year.
• Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong): For being the biggest big gun still in the hot seat.
• Sam Altman (@sama): For heading ChatGPT and Worldcoin and changing the way we use the internet in 2023.
• Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse): For emerging triumphant this year in legal cases with big implications for crypto's future.
Check out the full list 👉 coindesk.com/most-influentia…
$lit is so underrated still, by miles
Lighter told investors on its Q3 call it plans to file for a CFTC derivatives license in November, and $LIT jumped 19%
The goal: the first CFTC-approved onchain perp DEX
If approved, it opens the US market to Lighter
Full disclosure: $LIT is in my Milk Road PRO portfolio
Fuller disclosure: You're not bullish enough, and everyone is talking about it when you're not around
Writing a longer update. It's gonna be LIT. Moar soon.
Folks who provide lp for projects like @longdotxyz $ai, $cashcat, and $orbio have some good opportunities at extra cash here

JUDGE SPOTLIGHT - @cryptogle
Crypto since 2012. Cybersecurity expert, entrepreneur, investor and one of CT’s most respected voices.
Ogle has helped recover $400M+ in stolen crypto from major exploits including Euler, Curve/Alchemix and KyberSwap, earning a place on CoinDesk’s Most Influential 2023 list.
He is the co-founder of Glue, has built multiple multi-million-dollar tech companies, taught at Ivy League institutions and government agencies, and serves as an advisor to World Liberty Financial.
He is also known for unusually early conviction - publicly backing BONK around a $20M market cap and PONS around the $400K-$500K range, long before either received broader attention.
Builder. White hat. Investor. Advisor. And now one of the judges of the World Is Flat Hackathon.
Glad to have him with us.

The largest remaining fud for ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 is the looming unlocks
Vlad very clearly explains they are a non issue as
- There is no cliff. Most tokens get a huge 25% unlock on the 1st anniversary but LIT doesn't
- The unlocks are actually end of January not end of December as many thought
- They've spoken to the cap table and the majority are very long term investors that don't plan to sell
- For the small minority that want to sell, they already have large partners that want to allocate to LIT but can't because the current market isn't liquid enough. These large partners can simply buy out the vests from those that want to sell
Very good call, this was what we were looking for outside of the robinhood partnership and regulation stuff
note: dcf cap holds @Lighter_xyz
many of you have asked about unlocks
here is @vnovakovski discussing this on our 3Q investor update call

WangChai looks like it’s is gearing up for new ATH
Over 10K holders now, almost double what we had at the previous highs.
Early buyers have rotated out, fresh hands have stepped in, and the Chinese community is getting stronger by the day.
I think the next leg will be stronger than the 2.5 to 25m leg.

Lighter ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 is showing local strength for the first time in a month or two which represents a change in character, and has flipped the 21ema for the first time since the downtrend started (pending daily close, of course).
The investor update call today addressed all of the most important things in the near future: integrations, CFTC licensing process, and the elephant in the room: unlocks starting in late December
The narrative has been they "lost the Robinhood partnership". This couldn't be further from accurate but still crushed momentum and was the last straw leading the final leg down of a ~50% drawdown peak to trough.
The team continues to ship with binary options and full options rollout on the horizon in addition to the more important CFTC/regulatory side.
@TrustlessState's question from the Q&A: "Given all the pre-engagement effort, do you expect the license to come earlier than the 180-day time window that the CFTC says?"
@vnovakovski: "we think a lot of the [pre-engagement] will make the process a lot smoother... CFTC has a lot of things on their plate so dont have exact timeline... but it's a fast moving team over there so we expect the process to be smooth"

we've spent months with the cftc going through every core principle needed for our filing. our plan is to file next month, then the cftc will have up to 180 days to review.

Owning an asset is one form of ownership.
Having a voice in what it becomes is another.
Today, we launch the World Is Flat Hackathon with a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool - and potentially more to come from our partners.
Anyone can build around robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 - a product, a game, a tool, an experiment, or something none of us have thought of yet.
We want ownership to mean more than holding the token. Builders should be able to shape what gets created around it, and the community should have a voice in deciding what deserves to move forward.
Holding robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 gives you ownership of the asset.
Voting with robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 gives you a voice in shaping what it becomes.
Our judges:
- @blueshirt666 - ex-Binance, ex-McKinsey, Forbes 30 Under 30
- @cryptogle - advisor to World Liberty Financial and America dot fun, crypto since 2012
- @glabuz - Gaming & Retail BD at Avalanche, ex-Polygon, ex-Nifty Gateway
- @cryptoape - founder of MultiChain, investor and advisor across crypto and AI
The community will vote too.
And this is open far beyond our own ecosystem.
Builders from every chain are welcome.
Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Solana and beyond - we want to see your builders come build on Robinhood Chain.
Come build something unexpected.
Come compete.
Come help shape what robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 becomes next - and push the boundaries of what can be built on Robinhood Chain.
The build starts now.

for those who follow my fomo, fyi I trade elsewhere too - for example, on @Lighter_xyz (app.lighter.xyz/?referral=OG…)
the past 24h I'm ranked #4 PNL and traded over $50m in volume
perps are *far and away* where I do most of my trading and it's been this way since the FTX days - y'all just see my spot stuff more commonly - but if you're ever interested in seeing bigger projects/size and trading longer horizons, come check it out

The new Note Systems is live.
We started with one product: a structured note.
Today, Note Systems is a whole layer for tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain.
With the mainnet being close, that deserved a new look.

What @NetNetCap just published changes the entire game. This isn't just another product update — it's the birth of Net Forge, the permissionless creation and emission engine for Web3 gaming on Robinhood Chain.
Here is why this transforms $NET into an indispensable financial layer:
🕹️ The "Pump.fun" of Web3 Gaming:
Anyone can now build a playable game in an evening using AI, style it (Low-Poly, Retro, Voxel), and instantly launch its economy without writing a single line of financial code.
🏛️ Bonding Curves & Anti-Rug Architecture:
Every game gets its own coin capped at 10M units, starting on a bonding curve. Upon graduation:
• 50% of the raise seeds a permanent liquidity pool with LP tokens burned forever.
• 50% funds an automated 12-hour buyback and burn.
• Built-in reward jars protect gameplay incentives from bots, forcing creators to maintain balanced reward pools.
⚡ The Direct Value Flywheel for $NET:
Every single game economy is quoted and settled in wsNET. Every launch, trade, and store item creates structural demand for wsNET, while launch fees and a 1% transfer tax flow straight into NetNet’s ~$30M treasury.
🌐 The Macro Convergence:
While Elon and Anthropic talk about distributing equity, NetNet turns tokenized stocks into actual gameplay incentives and live micro-economies.
With ~97% of the float staked and $NET trading right at NAV support, this infrastructure shift is unprecedented.

Arthur Hayes claims $HYPE is the most dangerous consensus trade in crypto right now.
"I think your consensus trade is not that you lose money per se on Hyperliquid. It's that you severely underperform other assets because you're investing in the thing that everybody knew was going to be successful. I don't think that the risk-return is there for a new unit of fiat to invest in Hyperliquid when you could do ETH, Zcash, or some other narrative in crypto."
"Now, Hyperliquid, good on them. Jeff crushed it. They proved the market's there. They got the trading volume. Now they're competing with centralized exchanges, they're competing with TradFi exchanges, and they're competing with other DEXes. They all offer the same product. They all charge the same amount of money, and so now you have a perfectly competitive market."
"It's hard to sell a perfectly competitive product. That's really, really hard as a business. Great on them for doing it. I'll benefit as a consumer, but I don't want to be an investor."

Robinhood DEX volume is waking up again.
After weeks of cooling down, daily volume just pushed back above $2B.
Attention disappeared, but the chain never did.
If volume keeps expanding from here, the next Robinhood rotation could be closer than people think.
Position before the crowd returns.
