A few years ago, if you'd told me we would be mentioned in an @forbes.com article about settlement infrastructure, I wouldn't have believed you. Proud to be building cycles.money with Ethan and the team, and excited to see this conversation reaching a broader audience. www.forbes.com/sites/astanl...

Why Instant Settlement Won’t Revolutionize Capital Markets
Instant settlement could actually make capital markets less efficient. Automation and using blockchain to expand netting into new markets is the real prize

Sometimes the best conference memories happen after meetings. In Toronto, Rachel and I passed the FIFA countdown sign on a walk. Now travelling home, grateful for the conversations, ideas, and small moments that make a work trip stick. #Toronto #FIFAWorldCup #WFEClear2026

At #WFEClear2026 in Toronto, one phrase stayed with me: “strings and rings.” A better way to think about obligation networks. A string is an open sequence. A ring is a closed loop. Credit to Robert Steigerwald. #Clearing #Settlement #MarketStructure
Graphic comparing “string” and “ring” obligation networks. A string is shown as A→B→C→D in a line, representing an open sequence with a beginning and end. A ring is shown as A→B→C→D→A in a circle, representing a closed loop with no beginning or end. The graphic credits Robert Steigerwald and references WFEClear 2026 in Toronto.

Instant Settlement Strains Crypto’s Capital Efficiency: Ethan Buchman
Crypto’s real-time settlement model aims to reduce counterparty risk but increases capital demands, creating pressure to reintroduce clearing at scale.

Clearing in a wide non homogeneous market is a challenge. Our approach to clear without novation and in privacy preserving way is opening the opportunity to do it.

Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding. (E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?) Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.

You think “orange” and “brown” are objectively two different colors. But actually, the 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 color is seen as either “orange” or “brown” depending on what other colors surround it. Color is more in our brains than you think:

How about organising a trade credit clearing club? Non-payment is often due to gridlock in the trade credit network, which is invisible to its participants. Check the UK startup: localloop-merseyside.co.uk Or this paper: doi.org/10.3390/jrfm... #Money #Debt #Finance #Local #Sustainability

Beavis and Butt-Head’s take on the $100 story: With $1 each, Butt-Head buys a candy bar from Beavis, who uses the money to buy one for himself. They pass dollars until all bars are “sold.” Same hustle, more stupidity. 🍫😂 💵🔥 Watch: youtu.be/6s2xTttJHtI?... #Money #Debt #FinanceFun
