Another reason you should care about stablecoins: As John Wu 🔺 explains, stablecoins are not just for banks and traders. They can power everyday consumer experiences through apps like Uptop, helping teams streamline loyalty, payments, and fan engagement. Teams save money ➡ Fans get better rewards, better pricing, or more value back. That’s what happens when stablecoins move through platforms like Avalanche and disappear into the background.

A $160B market. Zero platform loyalty. Fans love events, not buying tickets. Sports Illustrated Tickets chose to build something better. At Summit, CEO David Lane will explain how Sports Illustrated Tickets uses Avalanche to create lasting fan relationships. Tickets: David launched Sports Illustrated Tickets in 2021 and has grown it into a live-events marketplace spanning sports, concerts, and theater, alongside an onchain primary ticketing platform. His view is simple: blockchain should stay out of the fan’s way while giving event organizers better tools to reward loyalty, build lasting relationships, and create value after the ticket is sold. Come to Summit to learn how SI Tickets is using Avalanche to rethink the ticket as more than admission, and turn a one-time purchase into an ongoing fan experience. Sept 16–17 | Chelsea Industrial, NYC

I get that Kroenke owns the Rams as well as the Avalanche, Nuggets and Rapids but this just seems so unnecessary when the Avalanche are playing the LA Kings in the playoffs. The Rams are continuing to grow their fan base in LA, why alienate LA sports fans?

Had an amazing time at the Team1 Thailand Kickoff in Bangkok yesterday! 🇹🇭 The event brought together builders, founders, creators, developers, and Web3 enthusiasts from across the ecosystem. From insightful builder pitches to meaningful conversations about the future of Avalanche in Thailand, the energy in the room was incredible. What stood out most was seeing a passionate community actively building, collaborating, and pushing innovation forward. Events like this remind me that strong ecosystems are built by people, not just technology. Huge thanks to Avalanche Team1 Shamwise 🔺 Sirada for hosting such a well-organized event and creating opportunities for the community to connect and grow. Looking forward to seeing what’s next for Team1 and the Avalanche ecosystem! #AVAX #BinanceTH #Avalanche #AvalancheCommunity #Web3Community #CommunityBuilding

.Clay Travis is exactly right. The fan experience for fans right now is disappointing. Pay more and get less. NFL and other major sports league fans are getting squeezed while trying to follow their favorite team for a season.
