“One thing that I think we’re missing is just how bipartisan crypto should be,” said Marvin Ammori, most recent Chief Legal Officer of Uniswap Labs, on Mined with CoinFund. “I think progressives, as well as moderate Democrats should all be pro crypto, and that is something I think we should talk about a bit more, and how do we persuade them to see the light?” Listen to the full episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, and YouTube. #minedwithcoinfund #podcast #uniswap #marvinammori https://lnkd.in/eU_HZ-7b

“Pundits have variously described Ethereum as ‘ultrasound money,’ ‘digital oil,’ the ‘digital app store’ or even the ‘internet bond.’ But what they all agree on is that ether is a token—a blockchain digital asset—with a stable supply, utility and, for many, a compelling yield,” wrote CoinFund President Christopher Perkins in CoinDesk. “Time will tell if the ether spot ETF in the U.S. will begin trading with a whimper or a bang. Yield or not, though, the initial launch of the spot ether ETF serves an important purpose.” Read his full opinion article on the ETH ETF below. #ethetf #coindesk #coinfund https://lnkd.in/e2CrMHCb

What’s that one thing in crypto that more people should be talking about? For Marvin Ammori, most recent Chief Legal Officer of Uniswap Labs, it’s that progressives have yet to embrace crypto.

CoinFund reposted this
President of CoinFund, an investment firm that champions the leaders of the new internet. Board member and combat veteran. Inventor. Not financial advice; these are my personal views.
Congratulations to Twinstake and Nonco for trailblazing a new level of sophistication for the institutional staking business model. Benchmarks, like #CESR, enable derivatives. With today's announcement, CESR fixed versus floating swaps power next generation risk management tools and business model enhancements for institutional validators. Institutional staking businesses earn variable revenue based on 1) their performance and 2) overall activity across the ecosystem. CESR swaps allow businesses to receive fixed/pay float which hedges downturns--a key risk management tool for finance teams. But, there's more. CESR improves business models and enhance the client experience by overhauling APY models and delivering enhanced transparency. Institutions demand this. Today, most staking business models are: ❌ "You get what I get and I take 10%" (limited transparency, uncertain return; idiosyncratic risk) With benchmarks, staking providers can deliver incremental transparency to their clients by offering benchmarked APYs: ✅ CESR +/- (floating rate transparency--calculated by a third party) ✅ Fixed APY (fixed rate transparency over a time period) This is one of the important institutional unlocks we've been waiting for...special thanks to CoinDesk Indices for their continued partnership as we blaze new frontiers. https://lnkd.in/dDSUqEqG?

Still confused on what DePIN means, and how it’s connected to crypto? We’re here to explain, one use case at a time. DePIN, which stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, leverages cryptocurrency to incentivize users to participate in helping grow a network. A DePIN project may ask users to purchase and deploy hardware, in exchange for crypto tokens. Some examples of this are Helium, DIMO, Filecoin, Livepeer, Render and Akash. Read the blog below to learn about our latest investment in Raad Labs, a DePIN project that aims to create more accurate weather data collection, authored by Head of Venture Investments David Pakman. #coinfund #depin #raadlabs https://lnkd.in/dD7svw4r

We’re thrilled to announce that CoinFund has led the $2.25M seed round in Raad Labs, the DePIN startup incubated by Montauk Climate! When we consider how the traditional landline, internet, cellular or weather sensor networks have been built, costly, massively centralized infrastructure build-outs come to mind. What if individuals could invest in, self-deploy, and govern a network? DePIN is helping expand technologies evolve through crypto incentives – one of them being weather. Raad Labs, which stands for Remote Atmospheric and Alternative Data Network, is building a decentralized, incentive-based network to improve weather data management and collection on a local, regional, and large-scale model. The project incentivises distributed personalized weather stations to improve model accuracy and provide atmospheric data like methane, soil moisture and hail that are not being collected today in most parts of the world. To learn more about Raad Labs, check out our full blog post written by Head of Venture Investments David Pakman. #raadlabs #coinfund #depin https://lnkd.in/eg6cegFK
