Gm,

This week we’ve been over-run with content from the French Riviera, as CT’s finest descended on Cannes for EthCC. We’re not jealous, not one little bit.

Robinhood stole the show with the announcement of their own chain, plus a tokenized stocks product (more on that below).

Meanwhile back in the trenches it seems everyone had the bright idea of hiring Soham Parekh. Is this the grindset at its finest?

The Headlines:

• Robinhood announced they are tokenizing private company shares, only for OpenAI to state that the tokens do not represent actual equity. Robinhood’s CEO confirms, explaining that they do however provide exposure.
  

• A shockingly mid AI band is killing it on Spotify.
  

• REKT launches on Binance Alpha.
  

• Pumpfun 2.0 is live.
  

• xStocks are now live on Solana.
  

• CZ donates $10M BNB to an open-source biotech project run by Vitalik (we love to see the boys collab!).
  

• The latest crypto reserves are being built by Vandi Coffee, Bit Digital, Canada and Kazakhstan. Connecticut, on the other hand, takes a hard pass.
  

• Azuki announce Studio Azuki.
