"The problem is you can't solve ramps because they're inherently local." — @0xMarcB CEO of on @0xPolygon why netting global payment flows doesn't work at scale: "How many permutations of flows are there? ...It's 21 million." Different rails, different currencies, different compliance requirements that make netting them effectively impossible. "So what you have to do is you have to move more money on chain." Polygon's mission is to get there within 15 years, where "payments can move seamlessly in milliseconds from one place to another in a totally transparent way."

.@aeroxyz flipped Uniswap on Optimism and became the largest exchange on Base. Now it's the third-largest exchange onchain, servicing about 10% of EVM volumes. @wagmiAlexander CEO of @DromosLabs shares what they intend to conquer next: "We want to be the exchange rails of this new onchain economy." "Our ambition now is not even just about being number one onchain, but in taking on some of those big legacy incumbents like Interactive Brokers." "Their margin is our opportunity."

.@cyril_mathew spent a decade at Uber, Coinbase, and Stripe watching cross-border payments fail at the same point. People receive stablecoins but have no simple way to convert them into the local currency that they can actually spend. This led to building Latitude ( @rtp ), a settlement network that connects banks, exchanges, and payment aggregators to convert stablecoin payments into local currency across 50 countries, all in under two minutes. This week, they announced @oakhcft led a $35 million Series A that closed in three to four weeks, bringing the total raised to $43 million. Since launching in January 2025, it has secured licenses or approvals in 45 states. Cyril's conversation with @drewrogers: 2:02 - Latitude closes $35M Series A led by Oak HC/FT 4:51 - Paying Uber drivers across 40 countries from Amsterdam 10:03 - Joining Coinbase and the first crypto Visa card 15:58 - "Without liquidity, these things don't take off" 22:20 - Joining Stripe and the 20-page paper on crypto 27:54 - Building stablecoin payouts inside Stripe Connect 31:44 - The founding thesis behind Latitude 35:34 - How settlement works in Mexico, corridor by corridor 42:37 - Raising $35M in under four weeks 51:05 - Why enterprise core flows matter more than pilots

Latitude announced a $35M Series A today led by @oakhcft, with NEA, Coinbase Ventures, Lightspeed Faction and OpenFX participating. Total raised is now $43M. Tomorrow, @cyril_mathew, Co-Founder & CEO of Latitude @rtp, tells the behind-the-scenes story on Stableminded Ep. 0060. In this episode we cover: > The 20-page memo he wrote when digital assets were banned at Stripe > The first digital asset card from a major exchange > The stablecoin payout pilot he ran with Twitter, and why nobody used it > Why nobody could spend those payouts in Vietnam, Ghana or Colombia > Why he doesn't think a dollar stablecoin works for everyone > What it took to get the round done after a stretch of rejections

"I see a lot of takes on twitter that crypto neobanks are just a Rain Wrapper" "I think this is very far from the truth" A non-custodial neobank is "actually everything that a crypto wallet is, like Rabby, MetaMask, but just harder to build." "No one would say building a crypto wallet is easy, right?" "This is a crypto wallet on top with integrated virtual banks accounts, cards and so on" "Like a crypto wallet on Hard mode" @litocoen, GTM Lead @ethena on the live show today.

.@EthenaPay launched last week across 49 countries on @avax, backed by @ethena which holds $4.8 billion in TVL. GTM Lead @litocoen, says the team is experiencing unprecedented demand for the product. "The reception has been incredible, supportive, and we certainly didn't expect that much hype." "I think it has been our biggest product launch in terms of virality and demand." "Right now, we have too much demand...which is a good problem to have."

"Our big audacious goal was to kill the API key." @kleffew94 on why @CoinbaseDev built x402 to replace API keys for AI agents. "A human needs to go to an API key dashboard, put a credit card in, they need to derive an API key, go back to the language model and configure that tool call, and then repeat that process for every tool they want to give the agent." "A great agent might have access to 700 plus tools, and they need to drive 700 plus API keys." x402 replaces all of that with a wallet signature. "The signature authorizes payments to let agents discover, reason about, and pay for tools at request time."

"Stablecoins and DeFi are really not that big. There's much larger places to get capital from." It's traditional finance, says @Luketruitt He co-founded @LoopScale, "A financial primitive layer that can connect these newly tokenized assets into an actual financial investment product that can then be distributed via some of these larger platforms." "Our goal now over the next three to six months will be scaling that product up with a couple stablecoin partners to then be able to embed within TradFi or fintech type interfaces." "It's a little bit less how do we do the next vampire type thing on some other asset that's coming out, and rather, what can we do to grow the pie on the stablecoin or the capital side."

The industries consuming the most capital right now, physical AI, robotics, manufacturing, energy, are the ones that are the most difficult to fund through traditional brokerage, says @Luketruitt "Whether that's a $5 million bond issuance to go fund part of a data center being constructed or building a new missile factory, whatever it may be." "The old rails take all the time to underwrite. It's expensive, requires huge dollar amounts to make it profitable." "But doing it onchain, you can knock a lot of those barriers down and spread out what types of projects are able to raise capital through these structures." "Crypto can move at the speed needed to meet the moment with how fast the world is changing." CEO of @LoopScale on Stabledash Live today.

"Everybody wants access to the dollar right now." But when businesses and individuals need dollars across Africa, most banks don't hold enough to remit on demand, leading to week-long delays and fees as high as 4%. He spent years visiting Nigeria carrying bundles of cash because he couldn't open a bank account without a local verification number. To solve the problem, @OnTheHouz founded @ZyntaFinance Zynta offers regulated stablecoin off-ramps across 20 African countries that settle dollars into local currencies like naira, cedis, and rand. The platform has processed $300M+ in transactions with 100+ enterprises on its rails. Cairon's conversation with @_zacharyhughes: 1:24 - Cairon's career origin at IFDS 3:27 - From permanent staff to contractor 6:06 - Getting into crypto in 2018 7:38 - Building Zynta on @Solana 8:22 - The $300K transaction that changed everything 9:17 - Walking with bundles of cash in Nigeria 10:57 - Africa skipped landlines, now banks 14:40 - Why building the off-ramp is hard 15:32 - AVAF and central banker conversations 16:53 - Licenses across four global countries 17:54 - Four layers of payment infrastructure 22:54 - Stablecoins eating traditional bank revenue 24:08 - How Dollarization meets government resistance 25:13 - 99.6% of stablecoin volume is USD 28:46 - Regulated infrastructure across 20 African countries Episode 0059. Presented to you by @altitude

.@stable is building a stablecoin operating system with two layers: > a consumer app where users never have to see the crypto layer > an enterprise web hub where SMEs run payroll for large teams "Mobile app is for that end user who doesn't really ever need to know that it's crypto. It's just easy. Click the buttons." "You would use it in an office. You need to run payroll. You need to have it on screen. You have 20 employees. You got to upload everything." - @mehler

"What we've launched last week was taking existing asset management categories and putting them in a tokenized format... but it's actually the skeuomorphic application of asset management." - @Matt_Hougan "I think where you'll see this go is doing things you can't even imagine doing in traditional funds." "What if you combine stocks with perpetual futures? What if you combine crypto assets and stocks together? What if you take portfolios and then put them into DeFi?" CIO of @Bitwise on the live show last week

"We consider them partners, not just competitors. We have to do things together," says @mehler, CEO of @stable, about their competitors - stablecoin L1s "If you want this to scale, you want this to become the new way that people are using assets on chain, you have to have that interconnection." "A traditional company that is not tech advanced, not someone you would ever imagine to be using crypto, but they came on through one of those incubated products, and now they're on crypto, that gets the larger exposure. That's the rising tide lifts all boats mentality."

Stable launched as a USDT-native Layer 1, but its CEO says the platform is not meant to serve a single issuer. "It could be the most performative and the best success out there, but it is going to be limited. There is a focus that's always going to exist in an incubator product, which is not a downside. It's just the reality of that." "If they're being built internally for a company, they're going to be focusing on that company's success and growth." "You're allowed to move those tokens and it's a free market and open landscape." "It's not a Tether-only platform. We were fortunate to get that investment from PayPal Ventures. And with that, PYUSD is on our chain." @mehler, CEO of @stable on the live sho.

THE BLOCK: Japanese crypto exchange Coincheck has partnered with wallet infrastructure provider DFNS. The firms plan to provide custody services for Japanese financial institutions, subject to regulatory requirements and definitive agreements.

"There's tokenized gold, and there's tokenized NVIDIA. If you wanna put tokenized gold and tokenized NVIDIA together in a model portfolio, you can do that." - @Matt_Hougan "It's really hard to take commodities and stocks and put them together in the same portfolio for various really arcane rules. The system is fragile and segmented." "A lot of what tokenization does is to break down those barriers... It's global." CIO of @Bitwise on the live show.
