.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.

Nikhil Srinivasan sold his first company to Coinbase 🛡️ in 2018. A few years later, he went on to lead product on Sardine's AI risk platform. Last year he left to start Infinite. At Coinbase, his team added every new blockchain and asset to the platform beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, including USDC. At Sardine, he led compliance while co-founder Raj led payments, and together they shipped one of the first real virtual account programs in stablecoins. Those two seats are where the thesis behind Infinite took shape. Infinite is a global B2B stablecoin processor backed by Y Combinator and Coinbase 🛡️, settling same-day payments to 170+ countries. His bet is simple. Stablecoins are rewriting the rails of global payments, and compliance is what decides who actually wins.

🎙 Episode 1 Is Live: Visa x WeFi This is a major milestone for us. Our first official podcast with Visa is now live, and we’re opening with one of the most important conversations in modern finance: stablecoins and the convergence of traditional payments and crypto. The conversation features Alexandra Soroko, Growth Product & Partnerships at Visa, and Michael Batuev, Head of Global Payments at WeFi. 👉 This episode goes beyond surface level commentary. We explore how Visa views stablecoins not as a passing trend, but as infrastructure. While they still represent less than 1 percent of global money flows, their efficiency, speed, and programmability position them as a powerful new layer in how money moves globally. Visa has been observing and building in crypto since 2018. Innovation at that scale requires navigating regulation, technology, and multiple geographies. But when they integrate something new, it connects to a network of more than 150 million merchants worldwide. That scale turns innovation into real world access. A key theme in the discussion is convergence. Fintech companies like WeFi move fast, design around users, and ship quickly. Global payment networks bring distribution, resilience, and trust. The future is not about replacement. It is about combining strengths. Will stablecoins replace fiat? Unlikely. The strongest innovations coexist and enhance what already exists. Stablecoins can evolve into a powerful financial rail while remaining connected to established payment systems, making them usable in everyday life. At WeFi, we are at the forefront of this movement. By working within established infrastructure like Visa and building products designed around real user needs, we are helping bring stablecoins from theory into practical, global utility. Digital assets are no longer on the fringe. They are entering the core of global finance. Episode 1 is just the beginning. Watch now and be part of the conversation shaping the next chapter of payments 🌍

Bitcoin is money AND digital gold. The two are not mutually exclusive. For Michael Saylor - it's the purest form of digital credit. For David Marcus - it's the payment rails of the future. "No one cares what humans think about how people need to Bitcoin because it's an unopinionated, code-based money platform." The Lightspark founder is forging ahead with building Bitcoin-based payment rails, while Saylor and Strategy are doubling down on Bitcoin-backed financial products. "I'm really grateful that Michael is really focused on the store of value use case, and he can do that, and I can be the one focused on bringing utility to Bitcoin. Both things will actually help one another to make Bitcoin more relevant to many more people and that's the beauty of building on an open network," Marcus told Robert Baggs and me on our latest Chain Reaction show. Marcus has been keenly focused on abstracting complexity away from payments using Bitcoin payments infrastructure with the launch of Lightspark Grid. "It's like Bitcoin as a network being used to move all kinds of other money, whether it's stablecoin or fiat at the edges, and you don't even understand that you're using Bitcoin. For instance, if you're a SoFi client in the US, and you want to send money to Europe or India, Brazil or Mexico, you send dollars and the other person on the other side receives Mexican peso, you have no clue you're using Bitcoin. And it's like magical TCP/IP for money between payment systems in the world." Bitcoin infrastructure works. Like most widely adopted technologies, the average person has no idea what's going on under the hood. That is the future that takes Bitcoin global. And it's being built in real-time.

Eight years ago, in 2018, OKX began building our European business. Over the past eight years, we have invested heavily in products, technology, governance, risk management, and regulatory engagement. We have worked closely with regulators across Europe to help shape the next generation of digital finance. The journey has not always been perfect. Like every fast-growing company, we have encountered gaps, made mistakes, and faced intense regulatory scrutiny. When that happened, we addressed the issues, accepted responsibility, learned from them, and strengthened our controls and governance. Today, OKX is proud to be the first company in the European Union to receive a MiCA licence, while also holding authorization for the broadest range of regulated crypto services under the MiCA framework. Compliance is not just about obtaining a licence. It is about building a culture where governance, risk management, transparency, and customer protection are embedded into every decision we make. We have invested significantly in building one of the industry’s strongest control frameworks and continue to work closely with independent external auditors to demonstrate the effectiveness of our governance and compliance systems. Today, European users can access EUR on-ramp and off-ramp services, zero-fee stablecoin payments through the Mastercard network, hundreds of crypto spot trading pairs, and a comprehensive suite of crypto, commodity, and equity derivatives. We have also launched an AI-native Agentic infrastructure that enables customers to interact with our platform through AI agents, with many more innovations already in development. Transparency has always been a core principle for us. We were the first major global platform to publish Proof of Reserves continuously for more than 40 consecutive months, helping establish what has since become an industry standard. Our Group financial statements are also audited by a Big Four accounting firm, reinforcing our commitment to financial governance and accountability. Today, hundreds of OKX employees across Europe are building products and services for millions of users. Our ambition goes far beyond becoming another crypto exchange. We are building the financial infrastructure for the next generation of digital finance—bringing together crypto, traditional assets, payments, AI, and on-chain financial services on a single regulated platform. This is only the beginning. Europe will continue to be one of the most important regions for OKX, and we remain committed to investing, innovating, and building here for decades to come.

GotSOL: When Getting Paid Finally Feels Simple For many online freelancers, the work is never the problem. The real struggle begins after the job is done. Delayed payments, confusing payment links, high fees, and platforms that hold your money hostage for days. You deliver great work, your client is happy, but getting paid still feels harder than the work itself. This is the gap GotSOL is quietly fixing. GotSOL is a non-custodial Point of Sale and payment tool built on Solana that lets creators, freelancers, and merchants accept stablecoin payments instantly. No middlemen, no waiting period, no approval delays. When a client pays, the money goes straight to your wallet. It’s that simple. For freelancers, GotSOL feels less like a crypto product and more like a practical business tool. You can generate clean payment links for your services, bookmark your most-used offers, track payments automatically, and even organize services using inventory. Instead of rebuilding invoices every time, you reuse what already works. Payments become faster, repeat clients check out easily, and mistakes disappear. What makes GotSOL different is control. You’re not asking permission to access your money. You don’t need a bank account to operate globally. You don’t worry about chargebacks or frozen funds. You work, you share a link, you get paid. In a world where creators are global but payments are still broken, GotSOL turns stablecoins into something practical. Not hype, not theory, just a smoother way to run your business and focus on what actually matters, doing great work. Get paid Instantly on your terms that's the GotSOL way. Superteam Nigeria

Zebec Protocol has taken 2026 by storm... Zebec Network (Zebec Network) describes itself as "rails for real-time finance." In simple terms, this means the protocol allows individuals and organizations to transfer funds instantaneously (be it payroll, contractor payments, or benefits) using both traditional systems, such as ACH and FedNow, and blockchain in a single package. This year, Zebec has gone from a promising concept to an institution-backed protocol. Here is an overview: Progress in Institutional Adoption and Compliance 1.) Innovation of Zebec Payments within Nacha: Zebec applied late in 2025 and was confirmed as a member in early 2026, belonging to the same cohort as Circle. 2.) Compliance with ISO 20022: This is a universal banking message format standard (just like SWIFT). Aligning with it ensures that Zebec can "speak the same language" as major financial institutions. 3.) NatPay Integration: NatPay settles about $158–$170 billion worth of ACH transactions each year through hundreds of thousands of clients. Integration with Zebec enables businesses to pay employees via legacy banking and instantaneous blockchain streaming services... 4.) Stellar Integration: Stellar appointed Zebec as its preferred infrastructure partner for stablecoin payroll – Zebec's first major implementation off of Solana. 5.) AllUnity (AllUnity) partnership (June 25, 2026): AllUnity selected Zebec as the infrastructure partner to provide an on-chain government benefits scheme in Europe, leveraging their regulated euro stablecoin (EURAU). 6.) Velo Protocol partnership: Velo Official has partnered exclusively with Zebec as their card and infrastructure partner for their settlement layer connecting with Zebec's card solutions. 7.) Institutional Compliance Initiative: The wider effort involving MiCA (crypto regulations in the EU) preparations, on-chain treasury buybacks, and enterprise integrations. Product Launches & Upgrades 1.) Zebec SuperApp: Desktop release in late February 2026; iOS and Android versions launched on July 13, 2026. 2.) Enterprise Payroll payout via Stellar: Allows employees to turn their crypto salary into local currency in more than 50 countries through integration with MoneyGram. 3.) New assets available: USD1, tGBP (a stablecoin pegged to the UK pound), DASH, and EURAU 4.) Onboarding employee capabilities: Custom-made wallets, including Tangem hardware/NFC card and Privy wallet stack in order to help non-crypto-savvy employees. 5.) Privacy: Early-stage integrations looking into Aleo (private cards/payments) and mentions of the Canton privacy solution. Key Numbers to Know - ~250 enterprise clients using Zebec's payroll and payment tools - 100,000+ $ZBCN token holders - 40+ white-label card partners - 15+ blockchains supported for cards and payments - ~$65 million rolling annualized card transaction volume (from earlier updates) - Cards available in dozens of countries, with tens of thousands issued and hundreds of thousands of transactions processed

There are moments in a project where things stop being theoretical and start becoming real.. That is where winners are really made! That’s exactly where $CARR is right now and why I have spent 3yrs accumulating some decent holdings. Yesterday’s Carnomaly spaces wasn’t just another update, it was a clear signal that the business is accelerating on all fronts simultaneously! Real-world adoption + crypto infrastructure. On the ground in the UK, dealer expansion is already moving up a gear. Detailed plans are in motion and the US team is landing there soon to help drive the rollout. This matters because $CARR isn’t built on speculation, it’s built on vehicle flow, ownership, and actual commercial activity. At the same time, the launch of Roundabout Labs in Dubai is a strategic bombshell! No cosmetic nothing burgers. No experimental partnerships. Structural development. It removes friction. It opens the door to global participation. It allows the crypto side of $CARR to scale without being constrained by a single regulatory environment, which is exactly what a real-world asset platform needs if it’s going to operate globally. And when you connect all the dots, the picture becomes very simple: • US = supply, inventory, real dealer network • UK = supply, inventory, real dealer network • Dubai = speed, crypto innovation, global access • $CARR = the bridge capturing the value between them all And if you step back and look at it objectively: • A blockchain platform bringing the automotive network on chain with real time USDT staking. • A growing dealer network feeding real assets into the system. • A global crypto structure designed for scale. That combination is rare. I know it’s been some time since I posted about crypto but don’t say you haven’t been warned for years about this, because when execution continues at this pace, this doesn’t stay small for long.

.Charles Yoo-Naut (🌧️,🌧️) is one of the most quietly consequential founders in not just onchain finance, but fintech as a whole. He and farooq 🌧 started building Rain in 2021, before the GENIUS Act, before stablecoin legislation was even a conversation, when the industry was still debating whether crypto had real use cases at all. Rain was built on a belief that every financial product will eventually run on stablecoin rails, and that cards are the bridge to get there. Charles rebuilt the modern money stack from the ground up, powered by stablecoins. Today Rain processes over $3 billion a year in card volume, having raised over $300 million in three rounds across 12 months, hitting a $1.95 billion valuation. Charles sat down with Drew Rogers in San Francisco to discuss: - What it actually looks like when stablecoins settle end to end on Visa rails - Why Rain's biggest customers are companies that didn't exist two years ago - The moment cross-border payments stop needing banks in the middle - What happens when agents start making purchases, and who is liable - How a 95-person company avoids the Block trap of hiring 8,000 - Why the line between a card payment and a stablecoin payment is about to disappear - What it feels like to become a dad while scaling a company at this pace Timestamps: 02:29 - $250M Series C, $1.95B valuation 03:40 - The conviction that started four years early 06:08 - $3B annualized card volume 08:33 - USDC settlement with Visa 12:33 - From "Ramp for DAOs" to the full TAM 14:36 - Western Union and the stablecoin sandwich 21:36 - 17 days to go live 26:15 - "I don't know if I could be an AI founder right now" 33:50 - Stablecoins passing cardholder to merchant 44:01 - Microtransactions and content paywalls 46:33 - Becoming a dad Presented by Altitude

The UAE Dirham is now live on ADI Chain. Initiated by IHC and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB Connects), approved and licensed by Central Bank of the UAE, the DDSC stablecoin is backed 1:1 by UAE Dirham reserves. DDSC is hosted exclusively on ADI Chain’s compliance-ready blockchain infrastructure. What sets this launch apart is the ecosystem behind it: • International Holding Company, one of the largest investment companies in the world, enables regional distribution across 1,300+ subsidiaries • First Abu Dhabi Bank acts as the banking partner, supporting custody of fiat reserves across 20 markets • Sirius International Holding is supporting deployment and institutional adoption • DDSC manages regulated issuance and distribution • ADI Chain delivers the programmable, 24/7 settlement infrastructure Together, we establish a new benchmark for sovereign digital finance. DDSC is built for high-value use cases – enabling payments, treasury management, and cross-border trade flows within a trusted environment. It validates our broader model. This is the first step toward a network of sovereign stablecoins operating on a shared layer. It creates a plug-and-play framework for national digital currencies to achieve interoperability at scale. It is why giants like Mastercard and M-PESA Africa have partnered with the ADI Foundation, and why BlackRock and @FTI_Global are exploring tokenized asset structures on our network. They recognize the need for onchain rails designed for institutional scale. DDSC stablecoin operates on ADI Chain’s infrastructure, where $ADI functions as the utility token powering onchain transactions. The rails for digital money are officially open.

Yield farming are still one of the most unpopular part of web3 many CT users don’t explore, we are more into yap about this, which memes to buy into for the next 2000x possible But we don’t see the opportunity looking at our with amazing passive income we can get without literally doing anything I explored Virtue today a lending and borrowing platform on iota and why am I bullish on them? IOTA is quietly building the bridge that finally brings the real economy onchain and stablecoins are the foundation. Take $vUSD from Virtue Money as the perfect example, this isn’t just another stablecoin. It’s the reliable, battle tested dollar layer that $IOTA needs to onboard real users, real transactions, and realworld assets at global scale. ⭐️ What makes $vUSD different: • Fully collateralized • Transparent onchain reserves and management • Designed to grow steadily as adoption increases • Engineered for predictable payments and safer lending • Engineered to aid and provide yield opportunity for users When businesses, traders, developers, and even traditional institutions can move value on IOTA without volatility risk, everything changes. Payments become instant and cheap • Borrowing becomes trust minimized and with this RWAs actually start making sense. This is exactly the kind of secure, usable digital infrastructure that TWIN Foundation has been pushing for finance the world can actually rely on. As usual I explored them through LiquidLink, I love how united their platform is for a dashboard uniting both VirtueMoney and Swirl ⭐️ Plug in here: Don’t miss the Vooi with iota they are the global trade ✋🏼😩🤚🏻 #IOTAambassador

BITCOIN RAILS #39: The Bull Case for Statechains & Why Big Tech Wants Self-Custody Too | with Lightspark CTO & Spark creator Kevin Hurley 🔗YOUTUBE: 🌿SPOTIFY: It was about four years ago that Facebook’s famous effort at creating its own cryptocurrency and crypto-native payments system (Libra, then Diem) was effectively halted by an unending stream of regulatory scrutiny and compliance blocks. Some leaders of the project went on to create crypto-projects of their own (e.g. SUI and Aptos), however, “Head of Facebook Financial” David Marcus, along with Diem wallet technical lead Kevin Hurley made the key bet that Bitcoin’s decentralized rails were the only in the crypto space likely to be undisrupted by regulatory roadblocks long-term. They went on to create Lightspark - initially designed to make Lightning “usable” by enterprise payments companies - but ultimately came to the conclusion that Lightning alone was not going to scale to 8 billion people globally. After heavy research on scaling solutions for Bitcoin, they eventually developed a “statechains” layer-2 solution of their own Spark – which, since going live, has garnered attention from Ordinals degens to enterprise payments companies alike. In this episode, Kevin Hurley and I get into: — How the Libra/Diem regulatory blocks went down and why these concerns will likely only be addressed by a truly decentralized system like Bitcoin (+ self-custody on the wallets side) — Why Lightspark started building on the Lightning Network (raising more than 2X field leader Lightning Labs⚡️🌐 ), but developed serious concerns about its ability to scale — What a multi-system Bitcoin scaling future might look like: with Lightning as the liquidity provider feeding self-custody friendly systems like Spark, Ark, e-cash systems, and more. —What a multi-system Bitcoin scaling future might look like: with Lightning as the liquidity provider feeding self-custody friendly systems like Spark, Ark, e-cash systems, and more.

"AI will reduce your bottom line and stablecoins will ultimately increase your top line." kareem saw this coming early. He positioned Entendre to build FOR stablecoin native companies, instead of building one himself. As stablecoins began to solve real problems, the winners would grow into massive businesses onchain with complex books to close. So he built the accounting tooling those companies would need to scale. Before Entendre, he built cash management systems at Workday, then joined WeWork at peak valuation, where 300+ accountants couldn't keep up with the accounting at scale. When ChatGPT launched, he founded Entendre with his brother Omar and designer Andy, and the three of them built AI accounting software for some of the fastest growing organizations in the world. They built agents to automate stablecoin and digital asset accounting for companies like Polygon Labs, Brale, Courtyard, and Babylon Labs. In the last 12 months, their customers have raised over $1 billion in venture capital. Last month MoonPay 🟣 acquired the company to power the financial operations layer of the stablecoin economy. His bet: by 2030 half the accountants will have retired, every dollar moving onchain still has to land in a ledger, and agents are how the books get kept. Kareem's conversation with : 1:30 - Youngest engineer on Workday's financial side 6:44 - Why everyone used to fight over the general ledger 10:11 - WeWork at peak valuation and 300 accountants falling behind 13:05 - How he built Cloud Kitchens' money platform from scratch 19:22 - 3 million CPAs, $100T GDP, and 50% retiring by 2030 21:04 - Why stablecoins grow top line and AI cuts bottom line 23:41 - Three levels of AI adoption and where most people are stuck 29:00 - How ChatGPT's launch led to founding Entendre 31:29 - Customers who've raised over $1 billion in VC 35:37 - Polygon Labs: 32 legal entities on one platform 37:51 - Dual Entry and the $90M AI-native ERP partnership 38:33 - Why MoonPay acquired Entendre 43:17 - First startup, first exit, first time raising capital 52:44 - 10x revenue growth and the 2025 inflection point Episode 0052.

🌋 Today Is the Moment Crypto Became Part of U.S. Banking Today, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued conditional approvals for national trust bank charters tied to crypto and digital assets, including Ripple, Circle, Fidelity Digital Assets, Paxos, and BitGo. The federal banking system is changing in real time. Two new national trust banks: • Ripple National Trust Bank • First National Digital Currency Bank (Circle) Three state trust companies converting to federal banks: • Fidelity Digital Assets • Paxos • BitGo A national trust bank is a federally chartered institution focused on custody, trust, and fiduciary services, not retail deposits. That places crypto custody and stablecoin infrastructure directly under OCC supervision, instead of fragmented state-by-state frameworks. Zoom out and the pattern is clear: • DTCC approved to tokenize DTC-custodied assets • OCC confirms banks can buy and sell crypto for clients • Stablecoins gain regulatory clarity • Now crypto trust banking goes federal One detail worth paying attention to: BitGo, now moving into the federal banking perimeter, is also a Hedera Governing Council member. That puts a federally regulated crypto custodian directly inside the governance of a public network already being used for enterprise and government use cases. At the same time, Hedera’s end-of-year community call brings together network leadership, council voices, and technical leads to discuss enterprise adoption, real-world deployments, and what scales next. From the filings: • Circle’s charter supports USDC reserve and collateral management • Ripple’s charter supports RLUSD and institutional digital asset custody Worth noting: Ripple Custody already supports multiple networks, including HBAR, SOL, ADA, BTC, ETH, XLM, and others. This is not about one chain. It’s not about hype or short-term price action. It’s about regulated financial plumbing being installed inside the U.S. banking system. Crypto isn’t knocking on the door anymore. It’s being wired into the foundation.
