What can I say about Pythenians?
It was my first love in the NFT world.
I was already part of the Pyth community and loved everything about it, so when I found out there would be a Pythenians NFT collection — built by the community, for the community — there was no way I was going to miss it.
I still remember how anxious I was on mint day. I had everything ready and managed to mint two NFTs.
And from Day 1, one of them instantly became my PFP. My identity.
To me, it was never just an NFT. It represents my people, my crew, the community I belong to.
Some time later, the price of @PytheniansNFT exploded. It reached around 10 SOL.
That was a lot of money for me, but even then, I couldn't bring myself to sell.
I believed in the potential of the project, and I truly felt like this was only the beginning. Some of my close friends even called me crazy
“That's a lot of money. Sell it!”
But I stuck to my conviction.
And not long after that, the Avantis airdrop made them a little quieter.
But I was also there for the other side of the story.
I watched the price fall. I saw people saying the project was dead.
But the community was still there — stronger than ever.
Even during the bear market, while everything was bleeding, Pythenians kept organizing events for holders. There was always something happening: fun events, cash prizes, and even Pythenians being given away.
That was when I felt it was time for me to do my part too.
Something not everyone knows is that I had always recommended Pythenians, but during that period I started talking about the project even more — to ALL of my friends, especially the Brazilians.
I explained what the project was, who was behind it, and most importantly, something that had always stood out to me:
They never disappeared.
Always present.
Always building.
Always trying to do what was best for the community.
And many of my friends bought one.
Today, I'm incredibly proud to look at the Pythenians community and see so many Brazilians being part of it. Knowing that maybe I played even a small role in bringing some of them here means a lot to me.
And then came another chapter: Pythenians 2.0.
And of course, there I was again on Day 1.
I burned mine without thinking twice and went straight to Level 3.
Soon after, my PFP changed once again. The same Pythenians I had carried with me for so long was now reborn — marking another chapter in the story of a community I love and plan to be part of for as long as it's here.
What's next?
I don't know.
But I know I'll be there. 💜
Some of you have been here since the first mint...
You've seen every dip, every win, every "is this thing still alive?"
It is. Tell us how you remember it

We've been talking a lot about stock perps trading overnight while traditional US exchanges are closed.
Now @PythNetwork has another big announcement. @NYSE market data is coming through the Pyth Data Marketplace! 💜
Pyth is now an authorized distributor of NYSE BQT, bringing real-time quotes, trades, closing prices and market status updates from all five NYSE Group equity exchanges.
And remember, Pyth already distributes Nasdaq Basic.
Think about a platform offering tokenized stocks or equity perps. It can display actual NYSE quotes during market hours and use Pyth's 24/7 indices to track price movements after the exchange closes.
Even trading halts matter here. Knowing when the underlying exchange has stopped trading is important information for platforms operating around the clock.
Clients still license NYSE data directly from NYSE, with Pyth providing the distribution channel.
Seeing NYSE and Nasdaq data available through the same Pyth marketplace says a lot about how far this infrastructure has come.
Pyth is the way 💜

Who's that up on the cliff? Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
WRONGGG! it's @thePIRB with the numbers! 💜
Two ways to trade US stocks onchain. Let's compare their volume.
In the 7 days to October 29:
📊 US stock perps: $122.1B
📊 Tokenized stocks on onchain spot DEXs: $1.95B
That's about 63x more volume in perps!
And it varies a lot by asset:
• SpaceX: 37x
• Alphabet: 42x
• SanDisk: 249x
Of course, perps and spot work differently. Leverage and trading activity can push perp volumes much higher, so it's not a perfect comparison.
But here's what caught my attention:
These markets keep trading even when traditional stock exchanges are closed. That means reliable pricing data needs to be available around the clock.
And in October, @PythNetwork priced 95.9% of equity perp volume. P-y-t-h-i-s-a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

RECORD OCTOBER FOR RWA PERPS
829.4 BILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS
88.5% PRICED BY @PythNetwork
Four of the greatest artworks in history. Let's take a quick tour. 🎨
1. Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci. That smile has kept people guessing for about 500 years. Some mysteries never get solved.
2. The Starry Night, Van Gogh, 1889. A night sky that looks like it's still moving. Good luck keeping up.
3. The Scream, Edvard Munch, 1893. My face when someone says "just use yesterday's price."
4. And finally, a contemporary masterpiece: a pigeon in a purple helmet. No explanation needed. Pure art. 🐦💜

A race gets called on TV. Does that change the value of a prediction-market contract?
For Kalshi's KPOW Midterms, no.
The index combined 13 election markets into a single reading, while @PythNetwork calculated it and published a new value every 30 seconds.
Contracts typically settled on a time-weighted average of that index over the 15 minutes before each settlement time.
So even when a major network called a race, only the values Pyth published counted under the contract rules.
For me personally, this is an important detail about prediction markets, after all, when money is involved, you need clear rules for how outcomes are measured and which data actually counts.
Kalshi ran the exchange and the contracts. Pyth was the index's source agency.

It's 2 AM in New York. Nasdaq has been closed for hours, but US stock perps are still trading.
Crazy part: half of the volume in the most-traded US stock perps now happens OUTSIDE Nasdaq hours.
What does it mean, you might ask.
You can have perpetual contracts tracking the same stock trading across multiple venues overnight, each with its own live price.
So which price should an exchange use to value open positions? Which one should be used for settlement? What about platforms lending against those assets?
These are real questions when so much trading happens after the closing bell.
And that's where @PythNetwork's work on 24/7 market data becomes increasingly important.
Markets are already trading around the clock, it’s the infrastructure that needs to keep up. 💜

When I traded FX, you didn’t ask when the market was open. It was always open somewhere. Sydney handed to Tokyo, Tokyo to London, London to New York, and the price kept moving with the news. That's what a market looks like when demand is global and no single exchange owns it.
US stocks are now heading down the same road. Half of the volume in the most traded US stock perps now happens when the Nasdaq is closed.
Demand for US stocks has been global for a long time, but access wasn't. If you live in Seoul, Lagos or Buenos Aires, the session that matters runs through your night, and reaching it means a local broker, a wrapper and a lot of friction. Perps removed that friction. They're open around the clock, available anywhere, and work for any asset with a price. That's the job the ETF did for the last generation of investors, and it's why global demand went there first.
Once access goes 24/7, price discovery follows. News doesn't wait for the open, earnings land after the close, and the first reaction now prints on whatever venue is open. The home exchange is still the deepest market, and the open is still the busiest hour of the day. It's just no longer the only place a stock's price gets formed, and that won't reverse.
That changes the questions that matter. When the same stock has a live price on several venues at 2am, which one do you mark to, settle on, or lend against? The market data stack was built for one venue and one closing price. It now has to work for many.

Sent @thePIRB out to dig for oil. Look what he found...
As of Nov 2, @PythNetwork priced 93.4% of tracked RWA perp volume over 24h.
Equities: 96.2%
Crude oil: 97.8%
And Pyth is the top oracle on 339 of 502 tracked assets. 💜

The next chapter of global finance is being written in milliseconds.
- Powering price discovery across global markets
- High-frequency trading infrastructure
- Bringing traditional equities into 24/7 markets
And this is where Pyth is shaping the foundation of a new financial era.
Damn, hearing that the CEO of ICE quoted @PythNetwork data on an earnings call is a pretty good way to kick off November 👀
Jeff Sprecher cited Pyth data showing that the average holding period for an oil perpetual futures contract in September was just 12 hours.
He brought it up while discussing how perpetual markets complement traditional futures and serve different trading needs.

91.9% of tracked RWA perp volume in the last 24h was priced by @PythNetwork, with Pyth as the top oracle for 341/497 tracked assets.
Don’t get me wrong, 91.9% is already wild, but that second number is what got me!
At this point I'm (almost) starting to feel bad for the other oracles 😂💜
