I’m sad to announce that due to unforeseen market conditions I am now a long term investor.
a16z drops crypto from name and then immediately after Visa buys a crypto company for $2.5 billion.
NEW: Visa is in late-stage talks to acquire crypto custody and stablecoin infrastructure firm Fireblocks for around $2.5 billion, according to Axios.
The potential deal comes as traditional financial institutions expand their involvement in stablecoin infrastructure.

New @coinbase + @TheBlockCo report is a banger.
Stablecoins move $400M+ every hour, 24/7. That adds up to $891B in Q3 2026 (adjusted for bots, exchanges and DeFi), up 4x+ from $216B in Q1 2023.
Keep that pace and volume hits ~$1.5T a quarter by end of 2027.
Addresses also on the risk with 293M addresses - more than Amex and Discover’s combined card base.

I’d like to see AI, Quantum, or Asteroid trade on 1000X leverage.
Papertrade is the next Pump Fun.
1000x short on tiny size but man when it hits you get the same rush as a memecoin.
