To solve what others haven't, you have to go where others won't

[Range @range_org]

Stablecoin payment rails are moving from crypto-native to mainstream cross-border business.

Our next Range Fireside goes inside the buyer conversation with Daniel Cartolin, Head of Sales at @sphere_labs. 🧵👇

Daniel spent five years building the Latin America business at Chainalysis before joining @sphere. He now onboards fintechs, platforms and institutions to stablecoin payment infrastructure and sees firsthand which use cases convert and which stall.

Hosted by Paula Pettit (@Paulapbpb), VP of Strategy & Growth at Range, we will get into the deals that close: cross-border payouts, collections, on/off-ramp and treasury, the corridors that fit stablecoin settlement, and how buyers weigh speed, cost and compliance in 2026.

📅 Wednesday, July 1 @ 3pm UTC

🥪 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.
