Macro & MarketsKill your customer: The death of KYC and the rise of ZK-TLS
By

KYC is finally meeting its match. Traditional checks cost North-American institutions $64 B a year and still expose users to sprawling data leaks. Our newest Delphi Pro deep-dive shows how Zero-Knowledge TLS (ZK-TLS) replaces slow document uploads with instant, math-backed proofs. Giving platforms compliance and users privacy.
Inside, we unpack the three ZK-TLS architectures (TEE, MPC, and Proxy) and spotlight live pilots from Reclaim, ZKPass, and Onflow that already let you prove balance, age, or full KYC once and reuse it everywhere. The result: quicker onboarding, lower fraud risk, and composable identity rails that can unlock new DeFi flows.

Macro & MarketsThe Public Crypto Accumulator Era - Part 1
By
Anil Lulla•
What began as a bold balance sheet directional bet has matured into a repeatable financial structure. Public crypto accumulation is no longer confined to Bitcoin, and it is no longer limited Microstrategy (now Strategy). A new class of companies is now using capital markets to systematically acquire crypto assets as part of their treasury strategy.
This report, the first part in a two part series, explores how Ethereum, Solana, and XRP are being absorbed into corporate capital frameworks. From Strategy’s leveraged accumulation engine to Upexi’s discounted Solana lockups, a new financial primitive is taking shape - one that uses public equity, shelf registrations, and validator yield to convert market infrastructure into crypto exposure.
We examine the mechanics behind this shift, the infrastructure enabling it, and the signals investors should track as public accumulation moves beyond Bitcoin and into the altcoin core.
A new corporate archetype is forming … and it is being built on crypto.

Macro & MarketsA Deep Dive on Galaxy Digital's Flagship AI Mining Center Helios
By
Anil Lulla•
Despite Galaxy’s original emphasis on providing financial services for digital asset related businesses and investors, the crown-jewel of its operating company portfolio is Helios, its flagship data center campus in West Texas. Rather than use Helios for Bitcoin mining, Galaxy will host third-party GPUs utilized in AI model training and inference. Helios’s key asset is its 800MW(3) approved power contract with the Texas utility operator, ERCOT. Power is the constraining resource for data center development – Helios’s access to immediate power allows Hyperscaler tenants to bypass the lengthy power approval process (36+ months) in a greenfield development, such to get their AI models up and running as soon as possible. Galaxy’s shares should re-rate as the Company continues to execute on transforming Helios into an AI data center platform.

By
Anil Lulla•
The regulatory environment for crypto has never been more bullish. With the SEC dismissing case after case against DeFi and crytpo, as well as Paul Atkins becoming the new SEC chair, the growing demand for 24/7 financial market access means blockchain technology is poised to take over.
The tokenization of securities and real world assets represents the future for onchain applications through bringing high-friction, high-barrier-to-enter financial vehicles to the blockchain for 24/7 cross-border trading.
