Monica Quaintance @QuaintM

I'm so excited to share today a big milestone for @hypersurfaceX. We announced today that we're acquiring Acre, a bitcoin vault company, in order to launch a new vault product powered by Hypersurface called HSBPI. This product will be the first ever managed yield strategy that trades volatility on-chain for Bitcoin, running on @HyperliquidX HyperEVM. We've always had a much bigger version for what on-chain options can be, and how we can fit into the ecosystem to truly grow volatility trading for DeFi. This launch is the first step for us into where I see the industry going as a whole, into managed products that feel similar to ETF-type instruments. With the bitcoin tech from @AcreBTC and vault management from @monarq_mgmt, our new vault is going to push on-chain managed products into a whole new category of yield. x.com/i/status/20698… We've had a lot of conversations with people in the industry about volatility trading and the future of DeFi. Thank you to @GammaEvan, @dbarabander, @HeyChristopher, @bosc_benoit, @VelvetMilkman, @zmanian, and many more. And of course thank you to @La_Walla_ for joining us on our journey at Hypersurface. Onward and upward 🚀

Only two options tonight at the Columbia Faculty Club

@baynPSD I love this!! Two things: 1) When I try to visit the site I get this warning message, not sure how we fix that but it's definitely annoying 2) How can we get @hypersurfaceX added to the map?!

Thank you @JackInabinet for this clear-eyed and scary article, I am genuinely afraid for our future now bankless.com/read/a-new-era…

This isn't an age verification bill. This is device level KYC. Every operating system would need proof of age which means gov ID + photo for every device connected to the internet. The lazy default implementation? Gov ID + selfie to Persona. The same KYC Discord and Anthropic just rolled out (yep, we're already moving to KYC for AI). This makes one giant honeypot for hackers and is a bow-wrapped gift to the corporate surveillance machine (and U.S gov surveillance who harvest data from them). There's no technical reason to build it this way. We already have zero-knowledge age verification that works at scale, @zkpassport lets you prove you're over 18 without revealing who you are. Data never leaves the device. The tech exists. But that's not the worst part. If every device is gated by gov ID, then revoking the ID revokes digital existence. Revoke passport = digital excommunication. Actually insane we have legislators considering this.

The full text for HR 8250, the proposed Federal law which would require all Operating Systems to implement Age Verification, has just been made publicly available. It is short, poorly written, clearly not at all thought out, and almost entirely devoid of specifics. Some key

THEY DID IT. The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets. They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name! THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO (he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence) This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path. It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator. (of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it) This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets: 1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14) 2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception). 3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities. 4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends. 5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities. Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator. No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges. How about the Howey test? More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after). How about stuff like staking and mining? Mining? Not a securities transaction. Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs! How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction. Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops. Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both. SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets. Every country will follow. This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets. Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins. And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.
