Privacy first and quantum resistant value movement - wallet and compute infrastructure ramping up - what’s next for zcash:native?

[Grayscale @Grayscale]

Our view: financial privacy defines the next cycle, with $ZEC leading.

Grayscale Zcash Trust (Ticker: $ZCSH) is the only pure-play and publicly traded @Zcash $ZEC fund in the world 🌎 ⬇️

@Depay_tech is building the connective layer between real-time payment (RTP) systems across borders, beginning in LATAM.

We couldn't be more pumped to continue backing this team - Big congrats to @Joaquinfagalde + team on the massive milestone!

[Aaron Fu @aaronqfu]

Excited for @DCGco to double down on @Depay_tech 🇦🇷 as they build the future of cross-border payments, starting with RTPs in LATAM.

Thrilled to be alongside @NorthIslandVC, @CMT_Digital, @VerdaVentures, @OnigiriVC, @hash3xyz and others supporting Joaquin and team.

[Aaron Fu @aaronqfu]

Payments are getting faster, more local, and more intuitive.

But once money moves across borders, that experience often breaks down because the underlying infrastructure is still fragmented.

What happens when we equip robot dogs with stablecoins? 🤖🐶💲

Proud for @DCGco to back @alfredpayio in their $15m Series A 🚀

@DiegoYDice and his team are building the rails for modern cross-border payments in LATAM — faster, cheaper, and ground-up built for real scale.

$1bn processed! @hugfink and the @rise_pay team have brought together the best of crypto, stables and fiat rails to deliver global friction free payroll!

Pumped for @DCGco to have joined other early backers like @TimDraper + @justinmateen to back this awesome vision!

[Tim Draper @TimDraper]

$1,000,000,000 in total payroll across 190+ countries, in Bitcoin and fiat, and hybrids.

Rise just crossed this milestone.

They hit $500M earlier this year. Nine months later? They've doubled it.

That acceleration tells you something about where global work is heading.

Most companies still struggle with a basic problem: How do you pay people who don't live where you live?

You've got contractors in Brazil. Employees in Poland. Freelancers in the Philippines.

Rise said “what if we did hybrid payroll?”

Doubling your lifetime volume in 9 months doesn't happen unless you're solving a real pain point.

Work is global. Talent is everywhere. But the systems we use to pay people? Still stuck in the past.

Proud to back the Rise team as they build the rails for the future of global work.

Lead Bank, a Kansas City-based fintech-friendly bank, has emerged as a major link between stablecoin startups and the traditional financial system.

Most of the popular stablecoin startups, such as Stripe's Bridge and BVNK, use Lead Bank.

Its dominance is raising concerns that the bank could pose concentration risk for the stablecoin industry.

My story with @MichaelRoddan : https://t.co/Y8v9KKjI5a

[OpenMind @openmind_agi]

OpenMind won 3rd Place in the Foundation Models and Robot Brains prize track!

Hosted in Silicon Valley by @nebiusai and accelerated by @nvidia, the Robotics & Physical AI Awards & Summit presented the top global innovators in the space.

We're excited to push this rapidly growing industry forward.

[Aaron Fu @aaronqfu]

500k new customers. $50m in new capital.
@AvivaFinanciera is on a tear. 🚀

@CIM_LLC just extended Aviva a $50m facility to scale microloans across Mexico’s 🇲�� underserved cities.

At @DCGco we’ve doubled down on this team for a reason - they execute!

[Rob Hadick ＞|＜ @HadickM]

Expect there will be >50 announcements like this in the next 15 months

[Aaron Fu @aaronqfu]

Constantly blown away by @hugfink's blitz execution! @rise_pay continues to prove that stablecoins are gonna be the default infra for forward thinking enterprises to run global 🌎 payroll - congratulations on the $1bn milestone and for having @DCGco on this journey with y'all!

[Hugo Finkelstein @hugfink]

We just crossed $1B in total payment volume at @rise_pay 🚀

What started as an idea to make global payroll effortless has now powered a billion dollars across fiat + crypto rails.

Proud of the team. Grateful to our customers + partners.

Onward to the next billion. 💜🌍
