1/ $324 billion. That's how much was processed in stablecoin transactions across Latin America in 2025, an 89% YoY surge. Our latest report, “The Stablecoin Surge: Unlocking Growth Across Latin America,” breaks down what's driving it 👇
4/ Our article covers what warning signs to watch for, because not every high yield is credible, and if you can't identify the source, that's a risk factor worth taking seriously.

3/ A 5% APR product and a 12% APR product are not the same thing. The yield source determines the risk, and if a platform won't tell you what generates the return, that's your answer
We're thrilled to welcome Daniel Tisdall to OpenTrade as a Senior Software Engineer.
Daniel brings deep expertise in secure blockchain protocol development, on-chain transaction systems, cross-chain bridging, and DeFi, alongside a strong track record building robust Web2 backends on modern cloud architectures.
Before joining us, Daniel served as Lead Developer at Dymension, where he drove the development of critical security infrastructure, including optimistic rollup protocols, Trusted Execution Environments, and cross-chain bridging and swap operations.
His foundation in rigorous, model-checked protocol design, backed by degrees in Mathematics and Software Engineering, makes him exactly the kind of engineer who thrives at the intersection of institutional-grade infrastructure and cutting-edge blockchain technology.
We're excited to have him on the team as we continue building the rails for stablecoin yield at scale.
Welcome, Daniel Tisdall!
3/ If your platform holds stablecoin balances if your platform holds stablecoin balances that aren't generating yield, your competitors who are earning on theirs already have an advantage.
Get in touch, and we'll show you how to put those balances to work in under 30 days: https://t.co/CYMTyQug3W
1/ $540M+ in transaction volume in the past 12 months. $235M+ in assets deployed. 99.9% uptime with full on-chain transparency.
Here's what fintechs around the world are building with OpenTrade 🧵
2/ Platforms across LATAM, Asia, and beyond are using OpenTrade's infrastructure to launch stablecoin yield products for their customers
No proprietary infrastructure required. No material operational lift
Card settlement has been stuck in the same cycle for decades. You tap your card, the authorization is instant, but the actual movement of money behind the scenes still happens in batches, during banking hours, on working days. With stablecoins, Mastercard is removing that constraint entirely.
The SWIFT pain point is real, but not something we do.
What we do is give fintechs and neobanks access to institutional-grade yield on their stablecoin balances through a single API integration, connecting them to 60+ institutional counterparties, including Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock, without the overhead of building it themselves.
Different problem, but if yield infrastructure is on your roadmap, worth a conversation: https://t.co/CYMTyQug3W
2/ Read the full breakdown of how stablecoins are reshaping payments across LATAM in OpenTrade's recent "The Stablecoin Surge: Unlocking Growth Across Latin America." Report here👇

1/ @swiftcommunity has been the backbone of global cross-border payments for decades. However, it is slow and expensive in a way that carries a real human cost.
SWIFT charges up to 10% per transfer on key remittance corridors. On the US-Mexico corridor alone, that's billions of dollars extracted from workers sending wages home every year. Stablecoins are now doing the same job with real-time efficiency.
@Bitso Business processed $6.5 Billion in stablecoins on that corridor in 2024.
B2B stablecoin payment volumes globally surged 30x in two years. 71% of respondents in LATAM already use stablecoins for cross-border payments. Companies that built their entire payment infrastructure on fiat rails are actively migrating. The operational case for stablecoin is difficult to ignore.
For decades, SWIFT solved a real problem for its era.
Stablecoins are solving it for the new era of finance.
8/ Money Moves: New Episodes
@Money_Moves_Pod has now released seven episodes, and the response has been amazing. Hosted by @sjolewis, @BTC_Dave and @eppy314, the weekly series continues to examine the convergence of traditional capital markets and on-chain infrastructure, with the depth and expertise the topic deserves. If you’re into finance, macro, crypto, or policy, this is the show for you.

1/ May marked a defining inflection point for OpenTrade - a month in which multiple milestones converged at once, signalling a step-change in scale, visibility, and market validation.
Here's what happened 👇
We raised $17M, published our LATAM Stablecoin Surge Report, brought the story to Consensus Miami, and kept the momentum going on the Money Moves podcast.
7/ OpenTrade at Consensus Miami
OpenTrade attended @Consensus2026 in Miami Beach, May 5 to 7, with the $17M fundraise announcement coinciding with the conference. With more than 20,000 senior leaders across crypto, institutional finance, and policy convening in one place, the timing reflected the broader market recognition of stablecoin yield infrastructure as a category in its own right.
