@thiagorudiger @blinktrade @TheHUB THE MAN! Excited to see this come to life

[Thiago Rüdiger @thiagorudiger]

Today blink came out of stealth and unveiled their product for the first time. We welcome @blinktrade as the first market joining @TheHUB!

blink will be hosting their matching engine in bare metal at TheHUB. This allows them to offer a colo environment for their traders and market makers out of the box, and ensures TradFi-grade timestamping and execution leveraging the @doublezero network.

This is exactly the infrastructure layer I've been writing about for months, and a real step toward the convergence between TradFi market structure and on-chain settlement.

More to come soon.

Tutorial: How to On-Ramp to USDC with @Wise via @sphere_labs (Supports 150+ Countries) 🌎

I was trying to find the cheapest way to convert my local currency to USDC, but P2P options weren’t offering the best rates. Not to mention, most popular on-ramp options are quicker but way too expensive. 😿

With Sphere, that changes. For a deposit of $10,000, you receive 9,990 USDC. I tested it, and the amount shown in the UI was accurate.

Hope this helps those of you trying to on-ramp! (You can off-ramp with Sphere too.)

🗽Hello NYC @solanaconf.

Stablecoins didn’t just arrive—for years we’ve seen them dramatically change the lives of people around the world daily on our platform.

But, what’s next?

@0xdirichlet speaks on 5/23.

Meet the team. Accelerate. 🇺🇸

[Sphere Labs @sphere_labs]

Sphere works with leading fintechs and global businesses to re-wire global payments.

✅ Cutting international settlement times from 5–7 days to zero
✅ Eliminating need for prefunding
✅ Reducing foreign FX exposure

[Sphere Labs @sphere_labs]

People don’t want stablecoins.
They want dollars. The more invisible, the better.

In volatile markets, stablecoins win not because they’re new, but because they quietly deliver what people already trust: dollars.

The most adopted retail apps in these regions have leaned into this, abstracting the tech and simply emphasizing that users are holding dollars.

A key takeaway from our conversation on the @tokenized podcast with @cuysheffield @sytaylor @sergiofly

Building with stablecoins?
Sphere can help. Let’s talk.

[Dirichlet @0xdirichlet]

🪄 Another level-up.

Stoked to share that @richardxnguyen recently joined @sphere_labs as VP of Finance.

Richard helped build the finance function from scratch @trmlabs and previously lead revenue for Looker during their $2.6B acquisition to @Google.

As our business has been growing, it's become increasingly apparent that we needed to recruit a world-class finance architect and operator.

Richard brings a rare combination of in-the-trenches building and executive leadership experience and we couldn't be more thrilled to have him as a teammate.

[Dirichlet @0xdirichlet]

🥪🥪 Had the privilege of shooting this amazing episode with @AaronWStanley last month in São Paulo while visiting local partners in Brazil in Q1.

@sphere_labs we often get asked:

- "Who are your customers?"

- "What is the funds flow?"

- "What problems are you solving?"

Just watch this, seriously.

Brazil Crypto Report is likely THE top media platform reporting on crypto adoption in LATAM, and under Aaron's leadership it's easy to see why.

Much alpha dropped, hope you enjoy 🙏

Live from Day 3 at Merge Buenos Aires 🇦🇷
One thing is clear 👇

Argentina is leading the way in stablecoin adoption in Latin America. With inflation rates soaring past 100%, many Argentinians are turning to stablecoins as a more stable store of value. Notably, USDT makes up 50% of all crypto purchases in the country, while USDC accounts for 22%—according to Cointelegraph.

Stablecoins offer some serious no-brainer advantages, slashing foreign exchange costs. Traditional remittance fees average around 6.35% globally, while stablecoin transactions can drastically cut them down to just 0.5%–3.0%.

Stablecoins aren’t just here to stay—the big players are scrambling to lock in their piece of the action and figure out how to move safely and compliantly.

Sphere helps them navigate the maze.

Absolutely love the simplicity of @sphere_labs ramp. You connect a wallet and a bank account, all the stables sent to the wallet are automatically off ramped to your bank account. The entire experience is 🧈🧈🧈
