Given the recent hype and speculation, for those curious about the recent activity and price action of Memecoins, check out a recent article we launched on X written by Christopher N.. We focus on bringing a data-driven, research-oriented, analytical piece covering everything from existing tooling and execution to assessing why certain coins become viral and reach "Escape Velocity". https://lnkd.in/gXdM2J5P

Director of Research, Christopher N., shares some thoughts on the impact of perpetual futures entering the US markets.

📣 Two years ago, we started Hashnote with a simple, first-principles question: How can we build something that traditional finance players will actually use? Fast forward, and we’ve created the world’s largest Tokenized Money Market Fund, #USYC, adopted by many institutions as yield-bearing collateral. Today, I’m excited to share that Hashnote is now part of Circle. I want to thank our customers, partners, investors, and the incredible teams at Hashnote, Circle, DRW, Cumberland, and Cumberland Labs for believing in this shared vision. None of this would have been possible without the incredible people who supported and believed in us along the way. I couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead. 🚀 #RWA #USDC *Disclaimer: Information about Hashnote’s advisory services and USYC is directed only to individuals and entities who are not US Persons, as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933

We’re thrilled to announce that Hashnote — a company born from a conversation between Leo Mizuhara and Don Wilson, backed by Cumberland Labs in 2022, and surpassing $1.5B in AUM by the end of 2024—is being acquired by Circle. 🎉 This acquisition aligns with Hashnote’s mission to deliver seamless, institutional-grade financial solutions that bridge TradFi and #blockchain. Integrating their market-leading #USYC with #USDC paves the way for unparalleled liquidity, accessibility, and efficiency in institutional markets. In partnership with Cumberland, USYC is poised to become a marquee collateral product for trading operations. At Cumberland Labs, we’re absolutely delighted for Leo and the Hashnote team, and we can’t wait to see what comes next. P.S. DMs are open.  Read the full announcement -> https://lnkd.in/gr2A3qjS
