$194 trillion flows across borders every year. Projected to hit $320 trillion by 2032. DeFi's total TVL? Around $90 billion today. The opportunity isn't inside crypto. It's the $190+ trillion that hasn't touched it yet. That's the market @nara_usd is built for.

Taking a moment to reflect back on my time in Bhutan, now that I’ve settled back into my regular back home in Hong Kong. Bhutan is sometimes referred to by its moniker, ‘the land of happiness’, they measure GNH (Gross National Happiness) as opposed to GDP like most other countries. GNH treats economic production as just one small piece of overall human flourishing versus pure economic output. There are various metrics that are taken into account, but the core philosophy is that balance, well being and sustainability equate to national success. What drove home the concept of balance was the fact that Bhutan has embraced digital innovation in integrating @Binance pay into its financial infrastructure, yet this was juxtaposed with how every shop and restaurant still manually wrote down every single sale in a note book, which serves as their ledger. Bhutan is balancing digital innovation, but safeguarding the traditions and the very foundations it is built upon. You look around and you see houses with traditional Bhutanese style window frames and exterior, but inside the house, it’s decked out with all the latest modern devices. Looking through the lens of digital payments, this has undoubtedly had a positive impact on the way business is conducted there, it’s made business owners and every day people’s livelihoods better. It’s a value add facilitation, rather than existing at the cost of everything else, identity, character, tradition etc. Perhaps they’ve come up with the winning formula to navigate a rapidly changing world, without having to compromise what’s important. Once again, thank you @cz_binance, @ellazhang516 and the @yzilabs team for hosting @Easyresidence in Bhutan, it was definitely eye opening 🇧🇹🙏

We're building @nara_usd to move capital at stablecoin speed which means onboarding can't be where everything slows down. With @KeyringNetwork, users bring KYC they've already completed elsewhere. Compliant by design, without the friction. 🤝

“The most important quality of a founder is resilience.” — @cz_binance at @EASYResidency S4 Demo Day During his fireside with @ellazhang516, CZ shared a principle that has stayed with him since his 20s - and guided him through every cycle and challenge: When you reach life’s lowest valley, keep walking. The pressure will ease. You'll adapt. Solutions will emerge. Eventually, you find your way out.

Our co-founder & CEO @JKronbichler with @cz_binance at @EASYResidency S4. Jakob captures it nicely in one line: stablecoins should fund the real economy🌍. Backed by @yzilabs. Live in September 🚀

🙌🏻Nara has secured a $500K pre-seed investment from @yzilabs! The investment follows our graduation from @EASYResidency Season 4 in Bhutan, where we pitched Nara to @cz_binance some of the most seasoned investors in the space, and the King of Bhutan on Demo Day. Thank you to @yzilabs and @EASYResidency for the investment, the mentorship, and the platform to build in one of the most exciting rooms in the digital assets space right now. And special thanks to @ellazhang516 for your guidance throughout all of this, your insights and tutelage has been invaluable.
