A stablecoin proves itself through the scale it reaches and the services it enables.
@anthonysoohoo (MoneyGram) and @LucaProsperi (M0) join Stateful, hosted by @masonnystrom.
In this episode, they discuss the future of money creation and movement:
- @MoneyGram built its own stablecoin MGUSD for 60 million active customers. Not for trading or institutions.
- @m0 is building the modular stablecoin infrastructure that powers several stablecoins including MoneyGram, KAST, and MetaMask
- MoneyGram verticalized its own stablecoin instead of integrating USDT or USDC, controlling the economics and passing savings to customers, the same logic behind Apple building its own chips.
- Stablecoin supply: $500B by 2027, $1 trillion by 2030

Hyperliquid and Polymarket dominate in the West. In Asia, there is no equivalent.
TurboFlow is building it.
@tonytfxyz (@TurboFlow_xyz) joins Stateful, hosted by @masonnystrom.
In this episode, they discuss why Asia has been missing a world-class trading platform and how TurboFlow is building it:
- Asian traders operate in communities, not alone. That changes everything about product design.
- Prediction markets beat perps for retail: click yes or no on anything. No margin knowledge needed.
- $9 trillion in perps volume in 2025. Still only 75K to 200K daily active traders on-chain.
- Bear markets are for building. Competitors go to sleep. You lay the foundation.
- 18-month goal: dominate Asian prediction markets and expand to 50 assets including RWAs and FX.
