Can crypto finally solve the disconnect between product success and token value?
This week, we explore why Venice AI's equity raise reignited the token-versus-equity debate, what it reveals about crypto capital formation, and why better disclosures may be the industry's next major unlock.
We also discuss Strategy's recovery, Robinhood Chain's launch, Venice's AI growth, MetaDAO's ownership model, and which tokens could benefit most from the next wave of onchain adoption. Enjoy!
