Episode 500 is live.
Five years ago Edge of NFT launched the same week as BAYC. Today: 16M+ downloads, 200K active audience, 50 countries, three names on one brand. This one looks back at all of it, then forward.
Watch now π
@nishant_zk Honestly bro, a quick βIβm busy, Iβll get back to youβ goes a long way. Weβre all hustling and trying to build something, so a little acknowledgment shouldnβt be that hard.
@joshkriger stepped inside the former Mike Tyson mansion in Las Vegas for a one-on-one fireside with Alex Odagiu, CEO of @BNBStandard, on the future of BNB and its road to institutional adoption.
Thanks to @michaelterpin for opening his home π₯
What would you ask a BNB CEO?
@CoinDesk@Visa@Mastercard@crediblefin $35T settled and only $390B was real payments. That gap is the whole opportunity in one line. What flips the ratio first, payroll or merchants?
@patio11 Every fintech deck meets this exact conversation sooner or later. The ones that survive found a data edge the banks missed. Which lender cracked it best? π
@paulg 8 years the first time, 2.5 the second. Rebuilding a $150M business while it is still running is like swapping engines mid flight. Who else pulled it off?
@jeff_weinstein@atlas@stripe Incorporating through your agent with Atlas cuts out the dullest week of starting a company. Which step still needs a human signature: the bank account, the cap table or the tax forms?
@Ryan_Falvey@Intuit A lunch with Intuit where old friends and new founders share a table is what we remember long after the keynotes. What were founders asking about most this year?
@KobeissiLetter 360+ tokenized equity products with 10 above $100M is real traction for something that was a pilot two years ago. On the 24/7 demand: who is actually trading on weekends, retail or funds?
@Rachelwolf00@money2020 Agents buying groceries in fiat and businesses paying in stablecoins as the two big themes sounds about right for this week. Which one do you think reaches real volume first?
@Q2_Software@money2020@bloomcredit@SuncoastCU "Invisible Prime" is a sharp title for customers who look risky on paper but pay like prime. With Bloom Credit and Suncoast on one panel, which data did they say a credit union should look at first?
@lightspark@davidmarcus@hopeking@money2020 Calling this the biggest change in how money moves since the internet went mainstream is a big claim, and David has the PayPal years to back it. What will regular people notice first, speed or cost?
@solana $5T in stablecoin volume before the year is even out is a number most bank execs in Vegas this week would not have guessed. How much of that is businesses paying each other versus trading flow?
@StockSavvyShay The charter point is the whole story. Converting to SoFiUSD ends the interest and the FDIC cover, so the deposit token is where balances sit and the stablecoin is the exit ramp. How much of the 64 billion in idle stablecoins comes home for 4.4 percent?
@PhotonHQ@sujaldkl Love this. Healthcare follow-ups can be so frustrating, and having an AI agent handle those little but important tasks could make a real difference for patients and their families. Congratulationsπππ
