Welcome back to GenZtea's Newsletter, where I break down trends, industries, and tech with a Gen Z lens. I'm Natalie Neptune and I'm so happy you're here.
Perps Just Made It to the US. Finally.
Perpetual futures: $90 trillion in annual volume, almost all of it offshore, unregulated, and one bad week away from vanishing.
Kalshi brought them onshore. First CFTC-regulated perps in US history. No expiry, no rollover, up to 5.8x leverage on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and more. Trade the price direction without touching the asset.
Using leverage increases risk of loss. Leverage is subject to the Firm's review and the customer's risk profile.
Early Access to Collab Posts on Linkedin? LEts Collab?
LinkedIn just rolled out Collab Posts, multiple profiles, one post, both networks see it. and I got early access.

only a select group of creators got it. GenZtea is one of them, and I want to use it with you.
distribution is the moat right now (see: Accenture buying Whalar, OpenAI buying TBPN)and I want to help you get in front of the right audience.
why it's worth it:
tied to a LinkedIn Top Voice for Next Gen: bragging rights for using a feature before basically everyone else (we'll let you have this one)
cross-promo to the GenZtea network — featured in an upcoming newsletter to 5,000+ subscribers
introducing: GenZtea Office Tours: i show up, we talk on camera, the post goes out under both our names. have an office or not, we'll figure it out (Hunter College works too). bonus if you're Gen Z
Example of a street or office interview we can do in nyc
this is for you if:
you work at a startup, big tech, VC firm, or recruiter in NYC
an active LinkedIn voice who wants to co-author a post with me
your whole team wants in- up to 5 people or pages per post
reply with your company + LinkedIn handle and I'll follow up to set a time
