Jamie Dimon, we’re coming for you. Kontigo is building the largest bank in the world. (A “full-stack” AI stablecoin bank). Most “stablecoin neobanks” are just Bridge wrappers with no real distribution. We’re building our own infrastructure to replace traditional banks. Our infra lets humans and agents transact on top of open networks (blockchains) and local stablecoins. “A startup building agents for law firms could just build the AI law firm.” We’re doing the same for banking. Disclaimer: Kontigo is not a bank. Banking services are provided by the freaking blockchain.

The next milestone for the Stablecoin FX Layer When we launched the FX Layer on Uniswap v4, the objective wasn't simply to deploy liquidity. It was to rethink how stablecoin liquidity is coordinated. The initial deployment brought $150M to Uniswap v4 and processed $70M+ in volume within its first three days. Today's integration of Sky's LitePSM into Uniswap's routing infrastructure is another important step towards that vision. Why? Because the Stablecoin FX Layer is designed to unlock a different liquidity model: - Reduce the need for every new stablecoin issuer to bootstrap liquidity from scratch. - Coordinate liquidity across multiple stablecoin pairs. - Put idle capital to work whilst maintaining instant liquidity. - Improve execution through deeper, connected routing. With LitePSM, USDS has direct 1:1 convertibility with USDC, allowing Uniswap's router to access one of the deepest sources of stablecoin liquidity when determining the best execution path. The result is: - Traders: access deeper liquidity and lower slippage - Stablecoin issuers: connect to a shared liquidity instead of bootstrapping it from scratch. - Builders: Build apps on shared liquidity infrastructure, not fragmented pools. Today's integration is the next milestone. The Stablecoin FX Layer wasn't a one-off launch. It's an evolving liquidity architecture, and every new integration strengthens the network.

.Sam Broner spent years at a16z crypto studying hundreds of stablecoin-focused startups. Mature fintechs, banks weighing their stablecoin strategy, early teams pitching infrastructure plays. The one pattern that kept surfacing: stablecoins were built for trading, not payments. Before a16z, Broner was an engineer at Microsoft, where he built the Fluid Framework that helped re-platform Word from desktop to browser. He demoed for Bill Gates two weeks into the project. Spent time at the Boston Fed's stablecoin initiative during MIT Sloan, angel invested in Cursor before most people had heard of it, and kept circling back to the same problem: moving from one stablecoin to another still works like a trade, not a payment. That's when he founded The Better Money Company - a stablecoin clearinghouse. Any stablecoin in, any stablecoin out, at a fixed price, with a guaranteed time of delivery. Its member issuers include Bridge, Paxos Labs, Agora, M0, MoonPay 🟣, brale, and Frax Finance ¤⛓️¤. Clients include Ramp, Privy, Turnkey 🔑, and Modern Treasury. The Better Money Company raised $10 million from a16z crypto, BoxGroup, and Sunflower Capital, and came out of stealth last week. Broner's point is simple. You don't sell Wells Fargo dollars at a variable price to get Bank of America dollars. Stablecoins shouldn't work that way either. Sam Broner sat down with Drew Rogers in Brooklyn. 00:00 - "I was living in Beijing in 2017" 02:24 - Paperwork in payments, and why engineers find it ridiculous 06:49 - MIT Sloan, the Boston Fed, and the stablecoin research scene 09:07 - The Fluid Framework: coding under a podium while Satya watched 13:10 - Why making payments a little bit better matters at massive scale 15:08 - Stablecoins are optimized for trading pairs, not payment flows 17:20 - What a clearinghouse is: from London taverns to hub-and-spoke 21:46 - Guaranteed pricing, guaranteed settlement, compliant clearing 25:41 - "Better money needs to be one to one" 31:52 - Instant payouts for gig workers: a weekend build on stablecoin rails 33:49 - Tourists in the Bazaar: how agents will transact 39:58 - Atomic payments and why faster settlement changes everything 44:01 - Why enterprise agent payments dwarf consumer agent payments 47:38 - Selling shovels vs. going for gold 53:24 - What's next for The Better Money Company Episode 0048, Presented by Altitude

There are already thousands of blockchains. So why are we still building new ones? On the latest Stable Pulse: What’s Next Beat, Dante Reminick asks Seismic CEO and Founder Lyron why existing chains still may not be enough for real-world stablecoin payments. Because scaling stablecoins takes more than speed. It takes compliance. Privacy. Fiat connectivity. Infrastructure institutions can actually use. A sharp conversation on where stablecoin infrastructure is actually heading, and why the next phase of financial infrastructure may look very different from the last cycle. Catch the full episode👇

What is the Trillion-dollar Stablecoin opportunity - and how is PlasmaFDN building to support it. Paul says it’s simple: stablecoins are taking meaningful share of global commerce. Payment volume, transaction flow, real-world utility. That’s the unlock. We're sitting at ~$250B in outstanding stablecoins today. But the trajectory is clear - and will be here fast. Paul is confident we'll cross $1T next year. Plasma is built specifically for that scale: a chain optimized from the ground up to serve stablecoin adoption and utility, not generalized smart contracts. When the future is this obvious, it pays to build like it’s already here. Podcast out this week!

**The Call from the China GCV CT Committee!** **All Global Pioneers Unite for the Pi Stablecoin GCV!** Hello, Pi family members! Teacher Dongfang is calling on all pioneers around the world to participate in an exciting activity: Please take a screenshot of yourself buying Pi on the exchange (without showing your face) and shout: "Exchange, buy Pi, hoard Pi! PiGCV stablecoin! PiGCV stablecoin! PiGCV stablecoin!" Record a video of about 10 seconds, and send it to this group. Through our GCV community in China, we will also share it across major platforms like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Kuaishou, and Douyin. Let's promote and build momentum to expand our influence! Our goal is to attract more people to participate in buying and hoarding Pi, showing governments and organizations interested in stablecoins the strength of our PiGCV community. We want the world to recognize that: **Pi is the most popular stablecoin, providing real GCV value.** Since the Toronto meeting from May 14 to May 16, the dialogue about global stablecoins has become increasingly prominent. This is a crucial step to address the human economy and the global economic crisis. Recently, the Hong Kong Stablecoin Live Conference took place, and the U.S. abolished regulations on cryptocurrency exchanges within the banking and financial sectors by passing the "Genius Act." This legislation means that the $6.5 trillion U.S. debt due at the end of June must be legally addressed using cryptocurrencies, aiming to resolve the global economic crisis rooted in this debt. Discussions at the White House roundtable have included Bitcoin as a potential stablecoin, yet the conclusion remains unsettled due to insufficient market value. Not only is the U.S. pursuing stablecoins, but other countries are also exploring their options. The demand for stablecoins is rampant, especially in the United States. A phenomenon known as "Pi" is making waves globally, with its technology, user base, total nodes, application scenarios, and robust GCV consensus community all making it a noteworthy contender in the cryptocurrency space. This rising interest in global stablecoins presents Pi with a unique opportunity to become a recognized stablecoin. However, we must actively work towards this goal. This is why Mr. Dongfang has initiated the short video activity of buying and hoarding Pi on the exchange. **We all have Pi in our hands, and together we can make a difference!** Therefore, we urge everyone in our group to participate actively. Share your screenshots of buying Pi on the exchange and shout: "Exchange, buy Pi, hoard Pi! PiGCV stablecoin! PiGCV stablecoin! PiGCV stablecoin!" Record a short video (no face needed) and send it to this group. With the collective strength of our GCV community, we will share widely across major media platforms. Let’s promote, build momentum, and enhance the visibility of the PiGCV stablecoin. Let’s work together to launch the PiGCV stablecoin on the main network as soon as possible! Take action now for the Pi in your hands to become the PiGCV stable currency! **Get started!** **China GCV CT Publicity Director** Fire Dragon May 22, 2025

**The Call from the China GCV CT Committee!** **All Global Pioneers Unite for the Pi Stablecoin GCV!** Hello, Pi family members! Teacher Dongfang is calling on all pioneers around the world to participate in an exciting activity: Please take a screenshot of yourself buying Pi on the exchange (without showing your face) and shout: "Exchange, buy Pi, hoard Pi! PiGCV stablecoin! PiGCV stablecoin! PiGCV stablecoin!" Record a video of about 10 seconds, and send it to this group. Through our GCV community in China, we will also share it across major platforms like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Kuaishou, and Douyin. Let's promote and build momentum to expand our influence! Our goal is to attract more people to participate in buying and hoarding Pi, showing governments and organizations interested in stablecoins the strength of our PiGCV community. We want the world to recognize that: **Pi is the most popular stablecoin, providing real GCV value.** Since the Toronto meeting from May 14 to May 16, the dialogue about global stablecoins has become increasingly prominent. This is a crucial step to address the human economy and the global economic crisis. Recently, the Hong Kong Stablecoin Live Conference took place, and the U.S. abolished regulations on cryptocurrency exchanges within the banking and financial sectors by passing the "Genius Act."
