When I first got into crypto, the conversations were all about disruption. Replace the banks. Cut out the middleman. Dismantle the incumbents. But lately, I’ve been drawn to a different kind of builder: the ones bridging worlds, not burning them down.

That’s why this conversation with @rmcuming Co-founder and COO of @superstatefunds stood out. Reid’s journey started in fintech: Stripe, Chime, Square. Products that felt modern, but underneath? Still tied to legacy infrastructure.

Now, he’s building something new: @superstatefunds. It’s a bold vision: tokenizing real-world assets, helping public companies issue shares directly on-chain, and working with the SEC to make it happen. And they’re doing it with clarity, not chaos.

One of the most exciting things we talked about? #OpeningBell: @superstatefunds’ new initiative to help public companies issue shares directly on-chain. Yep, tokenized equities. Live. Compliant. Built for the future.

And they’re doing it hand-in-hand with the SEC and @solana. It’s not just a tech demo. It’s a real step toward modernizing capital markets.

Tokenization, he said, doesn’t have to replace TradFi. It just needs to work better. That shift, from ideology to practicality, is something I’ve been seeing more and more. And it’s refreshing.

We talked about: → Regulatory strategy → Tokenized equities → AI in investing → Building trust over hype But most of all, we talked about durability. @supersatefunds isn’t chasing the next cycle. They’re building for the long game.
