This is going to be fun.
Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).
Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.
Throwback to our July event: Bats and Bevs.
Did you know the Congress Ave Bridge houses 1.5M bats? The largest urban bat colony in North America.
Come join us for some soccer and community next Friday!

ATX DAO stands with 200+ organizations calling for clear rules of the road for crypto in America.
The CLARITY Act passed out of committee with bipartisan support. Now it’s time for the full Senate to bring it across the finish line.
Stand With Crypto and over 200 organizations sent a simple message to Senate leadership: it's time for the Clarity Act.
The community is unified — large companies, startups, associations, and grassroots groups across the country are counting on their lawmakers to deliver rules of the road for crypto in America.
The Clarity Act passed the Senate Banking Committee with bipartisan support.
Now it needs to cross the finish line. Tell your Senators you want Clarity 👇
Coinbase + Better just closed the FIRST Fannie Mae-backed mortgage using Bitcoin as collateral.
Pledge your BTC, don't sell it and buy a house.
No liquidation or capital gains event. Just a standard conforming mortgage backed by the same Fannie Mae that powers the rest of the housing market.
A U.S. government-sponsored enterprise is now treating digital assets as collateral.
Prices may be down but this is truly historic!
Alan from Quai Network joins the ATX DAO Podcast to discuss @Entropic_AI, an open-source AI agent workspace built for safer, more private AI workflows.

The CFTC just approved the first true onshore BTC perp - Kalshi's BTCPERP - and cleared Coinbase to route US clients into global perps via Bermuda.
Ok so what's the big deal? Well, Perps were ~90% of global crypto derivatives volume, and the US sat out on almost all of it.
When reading the fine print, this is built on approvals + a no-action letter, not law. As CoinDesk notes, anything done by agency guidance "can be easily overturned by future agency leaders."
Onshore, regulated perps are real today following this updated guidance. Whether they're permanent and here to stay is still TBD.

hyperliquid:native has been making waves over the past few weeks; and for good reason.
The HYPE ETF launch did something no other crypto ETF has done in its first 10 days.
It absorbed 1.04% of its own market cap in net inflows.
- BTC ETF at launch: 0.59%
- ETH ETF at launch: 0.41%
- SOL ETF at launch: 0.31%
- HYPE ETF: 1.04% 👀
hyperliquid:native has been one of the few bright spots in the industry. Are you a hyperliquid:native bull?
