State Street Investment Management, Galaxy Asset Management, and Ondo Finance are launching a tokenized liquidity fund called the State Street Galaxy Onchain Liquidity Sweep Fund (SWEEP). The fund will use PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin to allow accredited investors to move cash "sweep" balances onto public blockchains, enabling 24/7 onchain liquidity. Ondo will seed the fund with $200 million. State Street will serve as custodian, while Galaxy provides digital asset infrastructure. The fund is set to launch on Solana in early 2026, with plans to expand to Stellar and Ethereum using Chainlink’s CCIP. This move places SWEEP in a growing race among institutions like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton to define onchain cash and tokenized real-world assets (RWA). The partnership highlights the convergence of traditional finance and crypto, with each firm contributing regulatory oversight, infrastructure, and distribution networks. Solana was chosen for its low fees and fast settlement, appealing to large institutions adopting blockchain for digital assets.

State Street Investment Management and Galaxy Asset Management are joining forces with Ondo Finance on a tokenized liquidity fund that pushes cash “sweep” balances directly onto public blockchains, opening up a source of potential 24/7 onchain liquidity.

The planned State Street Galaxy Onchain Liquidity Sweep Fund, or SWEEP, is designed to take in and pay out PayPal’s (PYUSD) stablecoin for accredited investors, the companies said Tuesday.

Ondo is expected to seed the fund with $200 million, tying a major tokenized real-world asset (RWA) issuer directly into State Street’s tokenization stack. The fund will be powered by Galaxy Digital infrastructure, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, an affiliate of State Street Investment Management, will act as custodian.

SWEEP is set to launch on Solana in early 2026, with rollouts on other networks, including Stellar and Ethereum, to follow, using Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).

Race to define onchain cash

The move drops another heavyweight into an increasingly crowded race to define what “onchain cash” looks like for institutions. BlackRock and Franklin Templeton already run tokenized cash‐management vehicles, including money‐market and other short‐term fixed‐income funds, on public blockchains. For its part, Ondo has built a business around wrapping Treasurys and other credit exposures into onchain vehicles that can plug into crypto markets.

“By partnering with Galaxy, we will push the envelope together and drive the evolution of the TradFi landscape onchain,” said Kim Hochfeld, global head of cash and digital assets for State Street Investment Management.

“Tokenization is rapidly becoming the connective tissue between traditional finance and the onchain economy,” said Ian De Bode, president of Ondo Finance. “Our planned investment would not only anchor this innovative fund – but also supports the continued growth of Ondo’s fund that offers institutional investors exposure to short-term US Treasuries with 24/7 instant mints and redemptions.”

Building an onchain capital markets stack

The launch comes as tokenized funds and tokenized equities are starting to resemble components of an emerging onchain capital markets stack more than isolated pilots.

Superstate opened up onchain capital raising for US Securities and Exchange Commission‐registered public companies via its Direct Issuance Programs on Ethereum and Solana Wednesday, targeting the equity side of that stack by letting issuers sell new stock directly for stablecoins and settle immediately to investor wallets.

State Street’s partnership with Galaxy and Ondo also highlights how the roles are shaping up as traditional finance and crypto firms share the same products. State Street brings Big Four regulatory cover and custody, Galaxy contributes digital‐asset infrastructure and tokenization expertise, and Ondo provides both capital and an existing RWA distribution network.

Solana’s role in the tokenization race

Solana’s role as the initial venue highlights a second competitive race unfolding beneath the product arms race. The chain has become a favored home for tokenized assets and high‐throughput trading, from tokenized public shares to experiments in onchain liquidity funds, as issuers look for lower fees and fast settlement.

Some of the largest institutions in the world have chosen the Solana blockchain for their digital assets play, including Western Union, which processes over $100 billion in remittance volume every year, and Pfizer, which processes $2 trillion of merchant payment volume annually. Physical staked exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Solana have also almost reached $1 billion in assets under management.

Launching on Solana first, with plans to expand to Stellar and Ethereum, allows SWEEP to tap into multiple ecosystems where stablecoins and RWA tokens are already part of the infrastructure.

Dragonfly Partner Haseeb: Why the Fastest-Growing Companies of the Future May All Stagnate at 149 Employees

Dragonfly partner Haseeb analyzes AI service pricing, particularly Anthropic's model, as a form of "tax policy" on AI labor. He observes a stark contrast: small companies (under ~150 users) benefit from low or zero marginal cost via flat-rate subscriptions, incentivizing them to maximize AI usage ("tokenmaxxing"). In contrast, large enterprises pay per-token API costs with high (e.g., 75%) markups, creating a disincentive for experimental or marginal automation. This pricing cliff at 150 users acts like a regulatory notch, potentially causing the fastest-growing AI-native companies to artificially cap their headcount to retain subsidized rates. Consequently, large-scale direct AI-for-human substitution within big corporations may not happen as expected; instead, job displacement may occur indirectly as lean, AI-heavy startups outcompete and erode their market share. The article concludes that token pricing, though not designed as such, functions as a powerful de facto tax policy shaping company structure and automation incentives.

If It's Not a Clear Yes, It's a No: A Nine-Year Retrospective by a VC Who Survived Four Cycles

**"Invest Only When Certain": A Nine-Year Retrospective from a VC Across Four Cycles** IOSG founder Jocy shares hard-earned lessons from nine years and over a hundred investments in Web3. The core challenge isn't identifying successful founders, but understanding why talented founders with solid ideas still fail. Through building a "failed founder database," IOSG identified six recurring failure patterns. **Founder Trait Red Flags:** 1. **Emotionally Unstable:** Founders who react defensively to criticism or publicly lash out under pressure (e.g., 80% drawdowns) often fail. Resilience is key. 2. **Lacking Hunger / Having a Fallback:** Founders with significant safety nets (family wealth, cushy fallback jobs) may lack the "do-or-die" commitment needed to survive crypto's brutal cycles. 3. **Unchecked Ego:** Includes "polished execution machines" who excel in known frameworks but struggle when paradigms shift, and "professor-types" who are technically brilliant but resistant to commercial feedback or coaching. **Project Structure Red Flags:** 4. **Token-First, Not Product-First:** Treating the token solely as a fundraising tool with no real utility or connection to product value is a major warning sign. The project should have value even if the token goes to zero. 5. **No Day-1 Exit Thesis:** Founders must have a clear, staged capital strategy from the start, understanding what each funding round needs to prove to unlock the next. "Exit before entry" is crucial. 6. **No Full-Cycle Experience:** Founders who haven't lived through a complete crypto bull/bear cycle (e.g., 2018, 2022) often underestimate their vulnerability. IOSG limits initial checks for such teams to $250k, sizing for risk. **The Positive Flipside: Desirable Founder Traits** The ideal candidate exhibits: obsessive problem-depth, being a second-time founder with a non-consensus vision, strong communication skills with *controlled* ego, relentless perseverance, and a global perspective with agency and taste (increasingly vital in the AI era). **Three Survival Tips for Founders:** 1. **Cash Flow Over Narrative:** Real revenue is what sustains projects, not vanity metrics. 2. **Tokens Are a Liability:** Avoid issuing a token unless absolutely necessary. The hidden costs (market making, liquidity, compliance) are immense, often a multi-million-dollar burden. 3. **Respect Liquidity:** Sell during peaks to build treasury, buy back to support the protocol during troughs. Be realistic about valuations and your ability to deliver for the next round. The final principle is simple yet paramount: **"If it's a borderline 'yes' or 'no,' don't invest."** In an industry that reinvents itself every few years, the discipline to consistently say "no" is the ultimate secret to longevity.

Zuckerberg’s Meta Makes a Move Into Prediction Markets With Arena

Meta, under CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is developing a new standalone prediction market platform called Arena. This move will position the tech giant in direct competition with established platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, capitalizing on the sector's rapid growth. Arena will initially operate independently of Meta's core apps (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and feature a points-based game rather than real-money betting, though monetization may be considered in the future. This isn't Meta's first foray into prediction markets; it previously launched and later discontinued the Forecast app in 2022. The broader prediction market sector has seen a significant boom, with users speculating on events from politics to sports, and trading volumes reaching an estimated $130 billion this year. The trend is gaining mainstream attention, exemplified by Trump Media's plans to integrate prediction markets into Truth Social. Given Meta's vast global user base of nearly 3.56 billion daily users, even modest engagement with Arena could dramatically expand participation in prediction markets. Its entry is expected to intensify competition for existing players while potentially validating and mainstreaming the entire prediction market model.

SemiAnalysis Deep Dive into CXMT: $50 Billion Revenue, An IPO Amidst a Supercycle

SemiAnalysis' in-depth report on ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) details its rapid rise as China's largest upcoming semiconductor IPO. Founded in 2016 by Zhu Yiming, CXMT built its DRAM foundation on acquired patents and talent from the bankrupt German firm Qimonda. It achieved its first annual profit in 2025 after nearly a decade of significant capital support, primarily from patient Hefei municipal investors who fostered a local supply chain. The company is now capitalizing on a strong DRAM supercycle. Its revenue soared from ~$3.3B in 2024 to ~$8.6B in 2025, with Q1 2026 alone reaching ~$7.3B. SemiAnalysis projects full-year 2026 revenue could exceed $50B, driven by soaring ASPs rather than massive market share gains. While CXMT is closing the capacity gap with Micron, its product mix remains heavily focused on commodity DDR/LPDDR, which currently offers higher margins than its nascent HBM business. CXMT faces significant challenges in HBM, struggling with yield and stability for HBM3 8-Hi stacks while lagging behind the big three (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) in advanced nodes. However, strategic national priorities for AI self-sufficiency may push it to accelerate HBM capacity. Its complex IPO structure reveals heavy state-backed ownership and voting control over its fabs, with Alibaba appearing as both a key cloud customer and a minority shareholder. The IPO aims to raise ~$4.1B, primarily to strengthen its core DRAM manufacturing base.

From Corning to Ciena: The 10x Opportunity in the AI Optical Communication Chain

The transition from copper to optical communication in AI data centers is creating significant investment opportunities beyond just chipmakers. The entire photonics supply chain, from glass and fiber to connectors and test equipment, is critical. Corning, a key fiber supplier, has locked in multi-billion dollar, multi-year contracts with major cloud providers (Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, NVIDIA), demonstrating pricing power and scale. Its profit growth is outpacing revenue growth. In the interconnect layer, Amphenol benefits from high growth in AI data centers, driven by strategic acquisitions and operational efficiency, while Credo Technology acts as a bridge between copper and optical solutions, though with high customer concentration risk. At the systems level, Ciena enables higher data capacity on existing fiber lines, with a strong backlog and cloud customer adoption. Further upstream, AXT is a bottleneck supplier of key indium phosphide wafers for lasers but faces geopolitical supply chain risks. VEO Solutions provides essential testing equipment for the entire photonics industry. A new pure-play photonics ETF (FOTO) offers a consolidated investment approach. The core thesis is that the physical limits of copper are driving an inevitable shift to optical technologies, with wealth flowing to essential, often overlooked, suppliers across the photonics value chain.
