DEX:CEX spot trade volume is on track to reach >30% marketshare for the firs time this month. Efficiency, self custody, transparency, & access. Decentralized tech & platforms can provide better financial products. This will happen to more verticals.

Bhutan is a better trader than Germany

I asked Grok to summarize the point of this documentary 😆

The research actually shows that these kinds of questions achieve only one thing: making the interviewers feel smart about themselves. They have no correlation with team retention and output. The only thing that has is test tasks.

We're so back

Great to see @1kxnetwork at the top of the @KaitoAI_ VC leaderboard over the past 12 months with 14.8% of the Mindshare- about 40% ahead of #2. Mindshare is earned over time. Honored to keep showing up.

🐧 @pudgypenguins have became the first crypto-native brand to truly hit mass adoption. In late 2023, they had ~10B impressions - already impressive. Fast forward to mid-2025, and they’ve soared past 120B+ total impressions across social and digital channels. No other NFT or crypto brand has come even close to this level of cultural reach. Pudgy has shown the playbook: focus on community, build strong IP, and create real-world emotional connections. This is what mainstream adoption looks like: not just holders or floor prices, but memes, toys, and brand love that reach hundreds of millions of people globally every day. Pudgy Penguins are no longer “just an NFT collection” they’re becoming a cultural icon.

.@rodeodotclub is set to hit a retention milestone. One-day buy/mint retention climbed to 33% in early June - near all-time highs and 10 points above April lows. In a space where short-term engagement is notoriously hard to hold onto, that’s no small feat. Monthly active users have cooled to around 5,000, down from a January peak of 20,000. But core activity tells a different story: over 6.2 million mints and 430,000 posts since launch point to a committed base still showing up. The poster-to-minter ratio has shifted too down from 0.8 to 0.6 as more users opt to mint rather than post. Much of this change traces back to two key updates in April: the launch of Rodeo’s iOS app and a move from ETH to USDC mint fees. Since then, the new-to-returning user ratio has flipped - from 55/45 to 5/95 -marking a clear transition from growth to retention mode. More in the newest @ournetwork__:
