Brian Armstrong posted on X platform, stating that the U.S. Constitution is the most important political innovation in history, but it lacks two crucial elements: a cap on government spending growth and a requirement for a hard asset-backed currency. Without these two elements, every democracy tends toward more debt and eventually loses its reserve currency status, as seen in The Changing World Order. The U.S. national debt stands at $39 trillion and is increasing by approximately $1 trillion every 100 days. Currently, interest payments have exceeded the defense budget, and the existing mechanisms cannot stop this trend. Politicians get elected by promising free benefits funded by other people's money. Some voters benefit in the short term, while the negative impacts of spending are borne by future generations who have no voting rights. The incentive structure is already broken. Solutions include drafting new constitutions in frontier areas such as Mars, special economic zones, and cyberspace; adjusting incentive structures in existing systems through amendments, though this is politically challenging; or outpacing inflation through ultra-high economic growth driven by AI, robotics, and cryptocurrency.

Odaily Odaily: Securitize shares are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday under the ticker symbol SECZ. Securitize is a tokenization company backed by BlackRock, which has assisted companies like BlackRock in issuing securities on-chain. Securitize President Brett Redfearn stated that bringing real-world assets on-chain allows investors to control assets in digital form and reduces intermediaries in traditional businesses. Using stock lending as an example, he noted that Robinhood currently retains approximately 85% of the related revenue, while Charles Schwab splits the revenue evenly with users. Redfearn believes that DeFi can offer investors in the tokenized securities ecosystem more ways to utilize assets, but such growth also depends on development by external builders. Robinhood is expected to launch a new product on Wednesday; previously, Compass Point analyst Ed Engel suggested that it may include tokenized stocks compatible with DeFi.
