Tokenized US Treasuries just crossed $13.53 billion – close enough to $14 billion that the milestone is essentially already here. The detail most headlines are missing, though, is that this number has grown roughly 50x since 2024, and it did so while the broader crypto market was having one of its messier years on record. That’s a signal about what kind of crypto product institutional money actually trusts – and who’s building it. Circle and BlackRock are sitting at the top of this market, and that matters more than the raw figure. Here’s what’s actually happening beneath that number. DISCOVER: The…

Here in the twen­ty-twen­ties, a young read­er first hear­ing of George Orwell’s Nine­teen Eighty-Four would hard­ly imag­ine it to be a work of sci­ence fic­tion. That would­n’t have been the case in 1949, when the nov­el was first pub­lished, and when the epony­mous year would have sound­ed like the dis­tant future. Even as the actu­al nine­teen-eight­ies came around, it still evoked visions of a tech­no-total­i­tar­i­an dystopia ahead. “So thor­ough­ly has 1984-opho­bia pen­e­trat­ed the con­scious­ness of many who have not read the book and have no notion of what it con­tains, that one won­ders what will hap­pen to us after 31 Decem­ber…

Last week, millions of New York Times readers were subjected to ​an alarming column​ by Thomas Friedman. “Normally right now I would be writing about the geopolitical implications of the war with Iran,” Friedman begins, before soon continuing, “but I want to interrupt that thought to highlight a stunning advance in artificial intelligence — one that arrived sooner than expected and that will have equally profound geopolitical implications.” The “stunning advance” was the release of Anthropic’s new LLM, named Claude Mythos.

There comes a moment about halfway through Sam and David Cutler-Kreutz’s “Trapped” where you kind of wish it would end. This is not meant as a criticism, but a natural response when watching the film. Our protagonist, Joaquin (Javier Molina), is forced into a situation that tests his pride and humility, but he just might come out the winner. If the film had ended at the seven-and-a-half minute mark, it would have been one of those incredibly economical short films that lead to a satisfying conclusion that makes you cheer inside.  “Trapped” is after bigger game, though, and continues to…

Which brings me on to more of this subject. “When to fire a manager” — this is quitetopical for us. This is data from Cambridge Associates looking at when to firemanagers.

In the last year before the change,7.2% for the stars, minus 3.7% for the ones you fired. “You’re fired, you’re hired.” And now the guys who were doing 7.2% underperform, and the ones who wereunderperforming outperform — and so it is on one year and on three years. – Fundsmith…
