Real-world assets (RWA) are helping to unlock liquidity and utility by moving on-chain. @MakerDAO has invested in US Treasuries and corporate bonds and partnered with #banks. These moves could become more common in 2023

3/6 Greater stablecoin adoption
#Stablecoins, like #USDC and #DAI, are seeing continued success despite bear market conditions. #Japan is lifting its ban on foreign-issued stablecoins in 2023, which could boost adoption and reduce time and costs on international remittances.

1/ In 2008, @US_FDA phased out #albuterol inhalers w/ ozone-depleting CFCs, including several generics.
Since then, brand-name firms have reaped $14 billion in sales on albuterol products--though the active ingredient went off #patent in 1989!

By their own estimates, they spent $250-400 million developing these products.

ExplaiNN is an adaptation of NAMs from @agarwl_ & team for genomic sequences - predictions are a linear combination of independent CNNs- each consisting of 1 conv. layer with a single filter and two FC layers. This seemingly simple approach performs similar to multi-layer CNNs1/6
It provides importance of discovered motifs by mere visualisation of weights of the output layer. No need for filter nullification or clustering of importance scores from attribution methods! ExplaiNN on ATAC-seq of mouse immune system recapitulates results of AITAC model 2/6
