We just shipped stablecoins on @CashApp.

Everything runs from your existing USD balance - no separate wallet, no managing multiple chains, no extra setup, and importantly no fees.

Send and receive USDC on SOL, ETH, POL, and ARB.

The most seamless integration in the world imo.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

@dadiomov Because then you have to add card fees. Why drag Visa along with us into the future like a software virus?

@Americanfort_io Congrats! @Americanfort_io

Amazing time to be alive @astro_reid

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Ha!

Pouring dry powder into crypto. The more it falls the more I buy. The more uncomfortable I get the better I feel. Chaos is a ladder.

Once again Coinbase is fighting the good fight on behalf of the entire industry.

Prohibiting stablecoin yield is the most egregious act of regulatory capture I've ever seen.

Big thank you to @brian_armstrong and @iampaulgrewal for becoming "enemy No. 1"

Good point @patrickc

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

Something this WSJ piece omits is that what @brian_armstrong is arguing for is not obviously in Coinbase's interest: in a world where yield sharing is prohibited, USDC will at least in a first-order way be more directly profitable for Coinbase. As far as I can tell, Brian's position stems from his belief in the importance of a vibrant and competitive market that protects consumer liberty, and I think he deserves a lot of credit for that.

The stage is being set

[Faryar Shirzad 🛡️ @faryarshirzad]

Big thanks to @POTUS for his recommitment to getting market structure legislation done.

[Plasma @Plasma]

Confirmo now supports Plasma.

@ConfirmoPay processes $80M+ monthly for enterprise clients across e-commerce, trading, forex, and payroll.

Those merchants can now accept USD₮ on Plasma with zero gas fees.

For those who misunderstand what’s at stake in the debate on offering rewards on US-issued stablecoins under the GENIUS Act, a sobering and timely announcement from the People’s Bank of China that they plan to pay interest on the Digital Yuan. 🇨🇳🇨🇳

Tokenization is the future and the GENIUS Act was a visionary move by @POTUS and Congress to ensure US dollar stablecoins issued under US rules would be the primary settlement instrument of the future.🇺🇸🇺🇸

If this issue is mishandled in Senate negotiations on the market structure bill it could hand our global rivals a big assist in giving non-US stablecoins and CBDCs a critical competitive advantage at the worst possible time. Lobbyists for entrenched incumbents will always fight change. It's critical for negotiators to protect the primacy of the US dollar and the US financial system, not just incumbent interests.

[Omid Malekan @malekanoms]

Almost on cue, JPM released earnings this morning and reported $25B in net interest income. Thats how much profit a single bank made by not paying savers more. The claim that stablecoins paying interest harms lending is BS.

[Confirmo @ConfirmoPay]

Our team is heading to @money2020 in Vegas next week 🇺🇸

JUST IN: 🇹🇭 Thailand has launched TouristDigiPay, a program that lets visitors convert crypto into Thai Baht for local spending.

Tourists can pay via QR code, merchants get Baht, not crypto.
KYC + spending limits apply.

Crypto is officially going mainstream in travel
