Haun Ventures CEO @katie_haun says we’re entering a new economy defined by three structural shifts: financial rails, new asset classes, and the agentic future. "We're taking this new fund of $1B and backing founders who are building what we're calling the new economy. When I say the new economy, I'm thinking about three structural shifts we're seeing right now." "The first is new financial rails and infrastructure. Think companies like Erebor. Gone are bankers hours and wire cut-offs. I mean, you're talking about global from day one, 24/7. This is a bank that opened on a Sunday." "Second are new assets and markets. It started as stablecoins, but we're now talking about tokenizing the stock market. You see companies like BlackRock, Coinbase, and Robinhood doing that. But it's also opened up new markets like prediction and perpetual markets." "The third structural shift is what we're calling the agentic future. It's not just AI broadly, it's where AI and crypto intersect. We're talking about building for a world where the end user is not necessarily a human of a financial product or service, but is a computer or an agent. How does that impact things like privacy? How does it impact things like provenance and trust? What form will they use? How will agents pay for things or subscribe to services?" From her appearance on the show last month.
19 Lessons from Henri Stern of Privy & Stripe on Moral Technology, Useful Crypto, and the Market’s Terrible Manners 1. Technical decisions are moral decisions. 2. Sit at the table, or someone who cares less will take your seat. 3. An honest toaster beats a phony mission. 4. Smuggle your principles into something people already want. 5. The market gets the final word, so stop arguing with it. 6. Ideology dies in a Postgres database. 7. A startup can't be a bank shot. 8. Nobody cares that you're not dead. 9. Say the thing the whole room already knows. 10. You have three audiences, and they all have to hear the same story. 11. In a new market, you don't find fit, you create it. 12. Customer obsession can be the vision. 13. Privacy is the freedom to move lightly through the world. 14. Privacy survived on nobody bothering. That's over. 15. Stablecoins are making crypto useful to people who don't care about crypto. 16. Web3 may be dead. The ownership question is not. 17. Treat any belief you can't be argued out of as a warning sign. 18. The best co-founder might be a stranger. 19. Silence is better than borrowed conviction. @DialecticPod with @sternhenri is available below and on all paltforms.
Dialectic Ep. 48: Henri Stern Modern technologists--especially in crypto--are often deeply principled or impressively pragmatic. @sternhenri is both. I talked to Henri about digital privacy, the moral weight of building technology, the painful reality of realizing the market
When the GOATS 🐐 of crypto policy get together ... you get a stampede. @brendanpmalone is one of the sharpest and most grounded people I've met in my career... and he's a competitor deep in his bones. There's no one I'd want more on my side if I were to found a crypto company. Brendan is a living legend. @0xYager is part of the secret sauce of Flashbots (one of our longtime clients) and he's an operator whose impact goes way beyond his role. The Thompson Street era has begun 🫡
Excited to announce Thompson Street, a new kind of advisory firm working across product, public affairs, and policy for frontier tech with @0xYager, @KhurramDara, and @jonfinkisaksen. We’re approaching Thompson Street like you would a startup: built for velocity, adaptability,
@LexSokolin Maybe ... but 12 months is a long time to feel like your company / career is not growing or be out of work entirely.
The exodus of crypto talent to AI is accelerating. Have talked with 5 candidates in the last week who are pivoting. Talked with 3 the week before. Almost every strong recruiter is looking outside the industry. The crypto industry has huge growth & adoption via stablecoin/payments, yet only a handful of companies are hiring at a legit pace. And 70% of them are in NYC/SF. Institutional & enterprise adoption takes time... so most of the industry is waiting to see what additional services are needed as adoption plays out. In the meantime, the money and talent are flowing to where there's opportunity: AI research, products, and infrastructure. If we're going to keep our talent, we need to give them a reason to stay.
@stablenomics Confirmed - every BD role we work on has a NYC bias or requirement
We just shipped stablecoins on @CashApp. Everything runs from your existing USD balance - no separate wallet, no managing multiple chains, no extra setup, and importantly no fees. Send and receive USDC on SOL, ETH, POL, and ARB. The most seamless integration in the world imo.
Almost every founder we work with (including myself) goes through this. Executor —> Manager —> CEO And 60% of a CEO’s time goes into recruiting A players. That’s the only way to really scale
As a CEO you only have three modes: Managing people Recruiting people Doing the work yourself You choose the mix But most CEOs don't choose. They fall into the Founder Mix and never leave. Founder Mix: 90% doing, 10% managing, 0% recruiting This is where every company
How engineering teams get constructed going forward will be one of the great debates for the next 2-3 years … love the apprenticeship model at @NotionHQ @ivanhzhao
The talent shortage of 2030 will be caused by companies not hiring and training juniors in 2026. @ivanhzhao shifted to a barbell 🏋️♂️approach for hiring on the Engineering team at @NotionHQ: junior ICs paired with very senior architects. -The senior architects provide direction
Looking ahead, forecasts for tokenized assets vary a lot but they all point in the same direction: growth. McKinsey: $2–4T by 2030. Ark Invest: $11T by 2030. BCG/Ripple: $9.4T by 2030, $18.9T by 2033. Standard Chartered: $30T + by 2034. The gap between $2 trillion and $30 trillion is more about definitions than adoption. Different institutions are measuring different things. McKinsey focuses mostly on bonds, loans, funds, and equities. Standard Chartered adds commodities and trade finance. BCG and Ripple include deposits and stablecoins alongside more traditional asset categories. Despite these differences, the broader trend is consistent: Asset tokenization is expected to expand.
Compliance officers are one of the fastest growing occupations in America. Compliance is a bigger business than you'd think. Every dollar that leaves or enters a business: paying employees, reporting revenue, and moving capital are subject to compliance. As AI clears the "good enough to trust" bar and sales cycles speed up, there may finally be an opening for startups. Full piece from a16z's @jamdac and @astrange: a16z.news/p/everything-e…
Doesn't even include growth of volume on @tempo
Stripe has reached $223M in stablecoin volume on EVM chains @0xPolygon, @ethereum, and @base. The majority of the volume flows through Polygon and Ethereum. Given this trend, it is entirely realistic to expect $600M to $1B in cumulative volume by the end of 2026. And that’s a
“It seems like there is more human work to do than ever…”
@charliekerr Bearish any company that doesn’t have aggressive use of Claude in May 2026
When the best companies in the world poach your rising stars, you know you’re doing something right. Find hidden gems, given them lots of opportunity and scope, provide enough coaching and mentorship, and then let ‘em rip
