🥪 The Stablecoin Sandwich: because businesses shouldn't have to study the underlying tech to benefit from it.

Fiat in, fiat out, with stablecoin settlement speeds in between.

Twelve months of building the full stack for markets and machines. One report. @TokenRelations recently published the Aptos Annual Report, covering April 2025 through May 2026. What happened:

+2.95B transactions processed. 532% increase year-over-year.

Stablecoin market cap grew 91% to an all-time high of $1.95B. Monthly stablecoin volume peaked at $68.13B in July. RWA value on Aptos rose 58.5% to $869.9M — with BlackRock's BUIDL, Franklin Templeton's FOBXX, Ondo's USDY, and more tokenized products now live on the network.

Three governance proposals toward performance-driven tokenomics: a 2.1B hard supply cap, staking rewards cut from 5.19% to 2.6%, and a 10x gas fee increase — with all fees permanently burned. Aptos Foundation will permanently lock 210M APT, roughly 18% of the circulating supply.

On the infrastructure side, block times dropped to under 50ms, and again to under 25ms. Confidential APT launched to mainnet. Encrypted mempool is pending governance approval. And Archon will push block times toward 10ms — closing the gap with centralized exchanges.

@DecibelTrade went live in February. @shelbyserves is in early access. @useTria, @yellowcard_app, @Bitso, @coinsph, and @sphere_labs connected users from across Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and beyond to Aptos.

Aptos Foundation and @AptosLabs are committing over $50 million to make Aptos the full stack for markets and machines, spanning funding for first-party products, research, protocol infrastructure, and a strategic fund for trading and AI partners.

My bet: most people won't think about payments anymore by 2030

Bank, fintech, blockchain. The underlying tech won't matter to users. The expectation will be that money moves instantly, securely, and at near-zero cost.

What started as a hackathon project turned into a payments giant.

In this week's Inside Scoop I interviewed @NADEAU__ from @sphere_labs discussing Sphere, Stablecoins and recruitment in this institutional era.

Truly the best way to offramp is @sphere_labs

Can not recommend it enough.

For individuals, no better ramp direct to your bank

For business, for all tools you need to build payment infra

[Sphere Labs @sphere_labs]

Correspondent banking plays hot potato across borders. Variable routes, variable fees, variable timing.

Sphere uses stablecoins to streamline the messy middle for businesses.

Domestic settlement on each end + stablecoins between = cross-border payments cut from days to minutes.

[Dirichlet @0xdirichlet]

We're running into too many new customers than we know how to deal with - across multiple markets, languages, and cultural expectations.

So we're rethinking the entire customer lifecycle from first principles.

Looking for 0-1 operators from all backgrounds.
All that's required is the desire to think quantitatively, with a curious mind and collaborative spirit.

[Sphere Labs @sphere_labs]

Building payments infrastructure is hard.

Using it shouldn't be.

But don't take our word for it.
