Thrilled to share that Ventuals is joining Phantom! We started Ventuals with one simple belief: perps are still early, and global, open, 24/7 markets will be central to how people trade, invest, and move value. As we got to know the team, it became obvious that Phantom is the company to take this future mainstream. Phantom is trusted by millions of people globally and has been Hyperliquid’s largest distribution partner to date. The team is clearly obsessed with creating a world-class user experience, and has the ambition to build a truly generational consumer finance brand. We couldn’t be more excited to get to work.

The bigger picture this all ties back to: We want to connect the world to the freedom of open markets. Over the long term, open networks will beat closed systems, because anyone can plug in without asking permission. That's what's pushing us to redefine what a wallet can be.

Ventuals was one of the most sophisticated and interesting perps trading products on @HyperliquidX, with more than $1B in annualized volume. They're three of the best builders you’ll find in crypto or finance, and exactly the kind of people we want at Phantom.

Hyperliquid is one of the most exciting things in crypto right now: deep, global, onchain liquidity that the whole industry is moving toward.

Perps have become a huge focus for us in the last year. Since launching our Hyperliquid integration last July, we quickly became the largest distribution partner in the ecosystem. We’re proud to be part of it, and want to continue helping it grow.

Grateful to @FortuneMagazine for highlighting all the great work happening across crypto today. 🙏 We're all working toward a world where everyone can experience the benefits of crypto in their daily lives. Still plenty of work to get there, but I'm thankful to be amongst an amazing group of companies driving towards that future. #FortuneCrypto100

Signed onto this letter with 60 founders and CEOs urging the Senate to pass the Clarity Act with the BRCA intact. The principle is simple: a developer who doesn't control user funds isn't a money transmitter. Pass the Clarity Act as written. 🇺🇸
This industry takes care of its builders. Thank you to the 60 CEOs and founders who sent a clear message to Senate leadership today: Pass the Clarity Act with developer protections and the BRCA intact. Developers who do not control user funds are not money transmitters. Read the full letter: t.ly/iXpDU

Huge thanks to Senate Banking for advancing the Clarity Act out of committee today. Real momentum behind a comprehensive federal framework for digital assets, and a clear, important signal that responsible builders can keep building in the U.S. with confidence.

Plenty of work ahead from here, but the U.S. has an opportunity to lead and set the standard for crypto policy if we keep this moving. Looking forward to seeing Clarity through the next steps and onto the Senate floor.

At @phantom, we'll keep doing our part. Engaging with the CFTC, SEC, and Treasury to inform common-sense regulations, and showing up in DC to advocate for policies that protect self-custody, DeFi users, and the software developers who make crypto work. Not slowing down.

Really proud of this one. @phantom recently received the first-ever CFTC no-action letter for a self-custodial platform, meaning we could keep building products that give people real control over their money without getting tangled in broker registration. Yesterday at Consensus, @ChairmanSelig said they intend to turn that letter into permanent rules for the whole industry. That means more teams can build, more competition, and ultimately better products for the people who use them. Crypto wins when the when the whole ecosystem levels up. That is how we bring self-custody and onchain finance to everyone.

One of the reasons I came to @stripe is to make crypto useful for everyday life, not just trading. Today @phantom is opening the waitlist for Cash, a new feature that lets their users hold a dollar balance, send money, and spend anywhere with a card. All inside a crypto wallet. The infrastructure behind it is Stripe and @Stablecoin : minting, onramping, virtual accounts, and card issuing, all invisible to the end user. They just see dollars they can spend. Time to bring crypto mainstream🚀
