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

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.

This guy’s not on bsky but the experiments are really interesting, and fit my sense that LLMs will reliably give good answers about things that only highly specialized nerds have ever written anything about, and do better the larger that community of nerds is and the more unique their jargon is.

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.

With all the turmoil in US Treasury markets this week, it brings to mind another example where some of the concepts in the great Cycles paper by @t-fleischman.bsky.social @buchmanster.bsky.social , and co. could be applicable. Back in 2023, Stanford Professor Darrell Duffie presented a

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.

With EthDenver coming up, thinking about one pattern I’ve noticed in my day job working in blockchain/web3, when chatting about favorite projects, I mention cycles.money and the white paper by @tomashirstecon.bsky.social @buchmanster.bsky.social. I explain Cycles' Liquidity saving and CoFi MTCS

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:

Color Wheels are wrong? How color vision actually works

Artists say all colors are a mixture of red, yellow, and blue. But physics and TV screens and printers disagree. How does color really work?

I was inspired to re-read and EF Schumacher's legendary 1940s paper on Multilateral Clearing for the first time in awhile after reading the Cycles white paper from @buchmanster.bsky.social , @t-fleischman.bsky.social and co. A few thoughts initially come centerforneweconomics.org/publications...

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
