The fund targets technical founders in DeFi, AI, and payments who require infiniSVM’s 330,000+ TPS for real-time on-chain applications. This initiative builds on the Solayer Accel program to prioritize sustainable business models and strong fundamentals over market hype.

$HyENA

@hyenatrade

$NOBLE
- Noble is transitioning from a Cosmos SDK-based appchain to a standalone EVM Layer 1 to enhance its infrastructure for stablecoin applications.

$FARCASTER
- Web3 infrastructure provider Neynar is acquiring Farcaster, assuming full control over its protocol contracts, code repositories, and official applications.

$ONDO
- Ondo Finance has launched 200+ tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs on Solana, including major assets like Nvidia, Tesla, and the SPY ETF. These tokens provide 24/7 on-chain access to traditional equity markets, allowing for sub-second settlement and deep liquidity within the Solana ecosystem. The initiative aims to bridge traditional finance and DeFi by enabling these RWAs (Real-World Assets) to be used as collateral in lending and other decentralized protocols.

$ZAMA
- The
$ZAMA
public auction is now live, featuring an encrypted, sealed-bid Dutch auction mechanism built on the Zama Protocol.

Cork raised $5.5 million in a seed round led by a16z CSX and Road Capital to build a "programmable risk layer" for real-world assets. The platform enables stakeholders to launch custom swap markets, making implicit RWA risks transparent, measurable, and tradable through tokenization. By standardizing risk for assets like stablecoins and LRTs, Cork aims to minimize the impact of depegs and provide institutional-grade hedging tools.

Galaxy Digital has launched a $100 million crypto hedge fund employing a long/short strategy for institutional investors. The fund focuses on liquid digital assets to generate alpha by exploiting market volatility and structural inefficiencies. This move marks a strategic expansion of Galaxy’s asset management division to meet growing institutional demand.

Ark Invest projects Bitcoin’s market cap to reach $16 trillion by 2030, implying a price of approximately $761,900 per BTC. The broader crypto market is expected to grow to $28 trillion, driven by institutional ETF adoption and smart contract platform revenues. Bitcoin is positioned as a mature digital store of value, while smart contract networks are forecasted to reach a $6 trillion market cap.

F&M Investments has filed with the SEC to become the first firm to tokenize shares of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The initiative aims to leverage blockchain technology to enable 24/7 secondary market trading and near-instant settlement for ETF investors. If approved, this move would integrate traditional fund structures with on-chain finance, potentially enhancing liquidity and market accessibility.

President Trump paused 25% tariff threats against NATO allies after successful negotiations at the Davos summit.

Elliptic reports that Iran-linked entities have acquired over $500 million in USD stablecoins to bypass international sanctions. These assets, primarily USDT, are used to facilitate cross-border trade and fund regional proxies while avoiding the traditional banking system.

Goldman Sachs has pushed back its forecast for the Federal Reserve's first rate cut from March to June 2026. The delay follows December's jobs data, which showed slow hiring but a resilient labor market with a falling unemployment rate. The bank now expects the Fed to adopt a more patient approach, forecasting only two quarter-point cuts later in the year.

The goal is to establish a permanent, secure foundation that minimizes the need for further complex core protocol upgrades.

VENEZUELA SITUATION: INFINITYHEDGE

>OIL :
*While Venezuela holds largest est. oil reserves in world on paper (17% of global reserves/300b barrels) but it's really goes btw 80B to 300B barrels depending on the price of oil (technically recoverable but not economically viable, due to extra-heavy crude, expensive to extract & refine)

*Currently, it produces ~800kb/d (due to Blockade but was ~1Mbpd for 2025 on avg). Production could rise by ~150kb/d within a few months if sanctions are lifted but getting back to 2Mb/d or higher would require nearly a decade & $60B-$100B+ in investment over that period

*Trump officials have told oil companies in recent weeks that if they want compensation for their seized rigs, & other property, they must be prepared to return to Venezuela & invest billions to rebuild the oil infra

*Any companies considering investment would need to address security concerns, dilapidated infra, questions about the legality of the US operation to remove Maduro, & potential for long-term political instability. American firms won't return until they have certainty of payment & at least minimal security guarantees. Chevron is the only oil major still operating in Venezuela

Impact on oil:
*US Keeps Blockade: this may not have a meaningful immediate impact on oil due to the relatively small vol from Venezuela & record amount of oil already on water (floating storage), there is already ample oil supply, notably in the Q1, & a temporary loss of Venezuelan oil has largely been priced in
*Chaos & War Game: Oil output could fall further than expected & world enters into a major geopolitical risk

*Bearish to Stable outlook: short-term downside risk to Venezuela production (Blockade) but long-term upside risk from a potential return of Western oil investments (if Peaceful Transition): <infinity hedge>

> Timeline: The entire outcome depends on potential peaceful transition with little resistance. If successful, a significant oil-production ramp up could occur in 5-7 years as infra is repaired & investments get sorted out. However, this depends on everything going right, &  much could go wrong

> Political Complications:
*Trump dismissed the idea of working with Machado on a political transition, preferring Venezuela VP (now Interim President) Rodríguez However, she appeared to reject Trump's outreach, stating Maduro remains Venezuela's only president & vowing to defend the country's sovereignty & resources. Trump said "if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro" while Rubio added "We'll assess based on their actions, US has levers to protect our interests, including the oil blockade", US won’t govern Venezuela but will press changes through oil blockade.

> China: called US to Release Maduro immediately & China Social Media Hails US Maduro Move as a Taiwan Template, "suggest using same method to reclaim Taiwan." China import about 4% of their oil from Venezuela so not a material impact (except the discount). China is also Venezuela’s biggest lender. Chinese firms are heavily invested in Venezuela’s infra (power, telecoms) so efforts to exclude Chinese investments & operators from the country could lead to unintended consequences

> Historical Context: Trump now joins the history of US presidents who have overthrown regimes of oil-rich countries, Bush with Iraq, Obama with Libya. In those cases, the US received zero benefit from the oil. History may repeat itself in Venezuela, an analyst told Reuters

> War Game: US officials ran a war game to assess what the Maduro fall might unleash: Results showed that chaos & violence were likely to erupt within as military units, rival political factions, & even jungle-based guerrilla groups jockeyed for control of the oil-rich country. Even if Maduro agreed to transfer power to a US-friendly successor (they assumed), some security forces could still rebel & even wage a guerrilla-type war, to exploit a power vaccum. The 1989 US invasion of Panama, a country less than 1/10 size of Venezuela, involved about 27k US Troops
