Bridge CEO Zach Abrams on how stablecoins will lower traditional card fees: "There will be the emergence of infrastructure that provides fraud and chargeback prevention and so on, but gets rid of all the bank fees because you no longer need a bank–you have a wallet." "You'll have a...

Robinhood CEO: In the future there will be no distinction between crypto and traditional finance “I think that crypto technology has so many advantages over the traditional way we’re doing things that in the future there will be no distinction. It’s kind of how technology itself was viewed as a sector of the economy for a very long time… I think crypto will go through the same transition where we’re still thinking about it in its own bucket but eventually everything will be on-chain in some form or another and the distinction will disappear.” Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev explains why this transition is taking so long: “I think the challenge with traditional finance — particularly on the infrastructure layer — is they have a lot of stakeholders, and if you think about where they generate the bulk of their revenue, it’s not from crypto-related initiatives. And a lot of these stakeholders, because they’re quite big, are going to be resistant and slower to adopt technologies. They’re going to be late adopters. They’re going to wait until it’s proven before adopting it, and that’s why we [Robinhood] have had to do greater vertical integration than we would normally want to do in TradFi. We acquired Bitstamp. We have our own exchange. And we have our own chain because I don’t think — to be at the frontier of crypto — you can rely on traditional infrastructure providers. I think they’ll get there eventually but it will take a very long time.” Ethereum will be the global settlement layer for this new financial system, and ETH will be its money. ETH is the base pair for trading on The Robinhood Chain, the highest volume asset, and the gas token to pay for blockspace. Source: TOKEN2049 (Oct 2025)

Last week, Mastercard, Visa, Ripple & Coinbase 🛡️ all shipped payment rails for AI agents. Every one of them reached for stablecoins Instead of traditional cards. A choice that is the whole story 👇🏻 ◢ An unpriced problem Card networks are built around a human pressing approve. One purchase, one confirmation, a fee that only makes sense above a certain size. Agents don’t work like that. They pay continuously, programmatically, often in fractions of a cent, for things like an API call or a second of compute. A bot paying $0.004 a thousand times an hour is a transaction pattern the card model physically can’t process at a profit. The rails we built for people don’t fit the machines. ◢ Four giants, one answer On june 3 mastercard opened card settlement in stablecoins across eight chains. On june 10 it launched Agent Pay for Machines, letting agents settle in stablecoins with permissions recorded onchain. The same day, ripple shipped a toolkit putting RLUSD and the x402 standard under agent payments, visa announced an agentic commerce tie-up with openai, and coinbase switched on agentic trading. Four of the biggest names in payments moved in a single week and all landed on the same primitive. ◢ Why it had to be stablecoins Strip out the branding and the requirements are mechanical. The money has to be programmable, so code can hold and move it without a bank in the loop. It has to clear sub-cent payments, which card fees make impossible. It also has to settle in seconds with finality, because that’s the speed agents run at. And it has to be always on, because machines don’t take weekends. A dollar in a bank account fails most of those, while a dollar as a stablecoin passes all of them. ◢ Conclusive Insights For years stablecoins were pitched at consumers who already had working banks and mostly didn’t bite. The adoption story kept underdelivering because the product was aimed at the wrong buyer. The agent economy doesn’t have that problem. It has no legacy banking relationship, no human patience, and no other option that clears at machine speed. The demand that stablecoins were always promised is finally showing up, but not from the customer everyone expected. My take: the entire stablecoin debate was framed around human payments, which is why it kept stalling.

lets go over a recent transaction with friends at the Waffle House restaurant using MetaMask 🦊 Card; the total of the transaction in fiat was $156 for Waffle House but to you the onchain tx was $152.12 how tf is this possible? the card is tied to an EOA (aka your self custody onchain wallet) which sent a total of 152.123292 $USDC with a 0.006337 $USDC gas fee included there is a 5.409249 $USDC credit applied since you earn rewards when using the card from previous purchases that you can claim or use against said transactions the total cost to the user onchain for this $156 transaction was $152.12 if you were to remove the credit the total cost was $157.53 for a $156 transaction that allowed near instant finality without dealing with on/off ramps, rails/banks & their associated wait times/higher fees $1.53 on this $157.53 transaction is a .97% overall fee which is subsidized by 1% to 3% crypto back, therefore at settlement there are no fees realized & you even earn a little kickback instead MetaMask 🦊 Linea.eth Consensys.eth has been working with Baanx Mastercard to change the space for users who want to access their crypto IRL while getting the benefits of holding a credit card/savings account which is really your own self custody wallet onchain "debit" with access to 90 million merchants globally because you as a user are using your own onchain wallet to interface with the card, you are paying in crypto & are provided with an onchain transaction hash to outline the details each time KYC to use the card is required since there needs to be a tie back for proof of humanity/sybil resistance/refunds/failed purchases, yet, you can spin up a fresh undoxxed wallet, there is no credit check, MetaMask does not have access, does not need & does not want to hold any of your information submitted during the sign up process & if any issuer requests more documentation or closes your account you are still your own self custody wallet onchain therefore you are not affected unlike centralized exchanges or other crypto cards or banks that lock you out of your crypto with minimal options the MetaMask Card is not a top up crypto card, it is not a centralized exchange card, it is not a prepaid card, nor is it a credit card; it is a new way to use your onchain crypto instantly anywhere you can use your traditional debit/credit card so, for example, my company pays me in crypto to my own self custody wallet onchain, my wallet is connected to the MetaMask Card as an instant web2/web3 bridge so that i can use my crypto to pay for things, therefore i do not need a traditional bank account + i get rewards + instant access to my funds any time i want without having to touch traditional systems at all THE ULTIMATE WIN 🦊 start using the virtual card now in your Apple/Google Pay or sign up for the waitlist at - there are currently 27 countries supported with UAE/Dubai, Canada, multiple regions in Africa coming by end of Q3 as we are working on full global adoption by EOY listen to the MetaMask Card 🦊 EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW! space for deeper overviews with myself & Danieljosep.eth ⬇️ got fud? drop your comment below & i will address it! always remember to DYOR from legitimate sources outlined as there are many false claims regarding the MetaMask Card on the timeline from people who have never used it or are just speculating or trolling since they did not read or listen to any of the resources or information that is available to them ARE YOU READY? LFG 🦾
