For the first time, contractors can get paid, hold, earn and spend, all inside the same app 💸

Introducing the Deel stablecoin wallet: hold earnings in DLUSD, earn rewards, spend anywhere, with no crypto exchange, separate accounts, or lost value in transit.

Launching in Latin America today, with APAC, MENA, and Africa to follow.

Coming soon for employees! 👀

Thanks to our partners at @Stablecoin, @privy_io, @tempo, @Morpho, and @Sentora for making this possible.

Stables x Remittances = combining two things I've worked on :)

[Bridge @Stablecoin]

MGUSD, @MoneyGram's native stablecoin, is live today, powering dollar-denominated balances for 60M+ customers and billions of people underserved by traditional finance. Launched on Bridge's Open Issuance platform in partnership with @m0, @FireblocksHQ and @StellarOrg.

Jevons paradox playing out

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding?

A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating.

AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code, so it’s now being used across far more businesses, applications, and use cases.

We’re at the beginning of a massive productivity boom driven by the proliferation of bespoke software throughout the entire economy.

Coding has been AI’s breakout use case this year. The fact that it’s increased demand for software engineers — rather than decreased it — should call into question the entire “AI will cause mass job loss” narrative.

Wrote a spec for a Slackbot in 2021. Couldn’t build it then. Just shipped it. The spec barely changed. The tools now make it possible.

We should not be looking at trading data to evaluate their future. Look at business adoption, and real world payments. This is why Bridge is growing.

[TBPN @tbpn]

The Economist says the stablecoin market is "fizzling." We asked Bridge co-founder @zcabrams his response:

"Our business grew 4x last year. Our business continues to grow enormously. We grew 20% over the last month alone. So, we certainly don't see stablecoins slowing down."

"Stablecoin transaction volume is growing enormously. We see that the number of folks building with stablecoins is growing enormously."

"We have folks from a bunch of banks who are leaning into stablecoins. Pretty much every fintech that you could think of that is meaningful is doing something with stablecoins (and probably doing it with us)."

"Yesterday we announced with Meta that we're paying out folks in stablecoins."

"So I do think that the hyperbole around stablecoins is dying down a little bit. And that creates the opportunity for some of this FUD."

"For a long time people were pointing at every problem and being like, 'Crypto solves this.' And now they're no longer pointing at every problem and saying, 'Crypto solves this.' But very quietly, under the hood, it is solving a number of problems."

Designed an AI writing system trained on 14 years of my blog posts. It's making my drafts better. It might also be pulling my writing toward the median. I don't know which yet.

Kids learn better through topics they love than what they're assigned. So I built my son an app that turns whatever he's currently interested in into reading, math and logic practice.

Micro payments with MPP. A preview into on demand payments (likely with dynamic pricing) for content, not blanket subscriptions.

[John Collison @collision]

At Stripe Sessions, we showed how we think agentic commerce will often happen behind the scenes in the course of producing other final products. Here, we show our Claude Code using MPP and @tempo to buy a dataset from @alpha_vantage in the process of generating a research report for me on AI energy usage.

@SimkinStepan @altitude @tbpn Big congrats, @SimkinStepan @deni_ersht and team!

Stablecoins allow us to build new products that were previously extremely difficult. Balances on link wallets, instant transfers between treasury accounts. Stablecoins are core infra.

[John Collison @collision]

Increasingly, the best part of using Stripe is the millions of other companies using Stripe. How we use the network improve the product has been a big focus this year.

Here are some of the networked ships from Stripe Sessions this week:

Fraud. Radar is trained on signals from across Stripe, which now just sees most internet users and most payments. If a bad actor signs up for your product, we've generally already seen their device fingerprint, their email, or their card behavior—on someone else's business. For one AI company, 80% of the bad actors Radar caught had sailed right through their prior anti-fraud provider. As Stripe grows, the better every business on Stripe is protected.

Link started as a way to save your payment details and has grown into a network of more than 250 million consumers. Link now stores stablecoins, powers agent wallets, and drives a 5% conversion lift for returning customers. Whenever a user signs up with Link on one business, every other Stripe business benefits the next time that customer checks out.

Money movement. It turns out that Stripe businesses pay each other 4.8 million times a day. So we built instant, free transfers between Stripe Treasury accounts.

Intelligence. 1.6% of global GDP now runs through Stripe; over 70 trillion data points last year. We've historically used that data to power our own products (Radar, authorization optimization). But now we’re putting it directly in your hands with Stripe Signals. Send us a customer, a transaction, a business—on or off Stripe—and we return a real-time risk score and explanation.

Here's everything we announced this morning: https://t.co/UZWRHYTMrP.

I haven't typed in my passport number, my address or my frequent flyer card number in years. Apple's Text Replacement handles it all but setup is clunky, so I built Shortcut Pack - https://t.co/B0JGO2zrq9

I said the words "I need to unblock my agents" yesterday. I think I may have leveled up.

Doordash x Stripe x Bridge x Tempo charting the path.

[Tempo @tempo]

DoorDash, one of the world's largest local commerce platforms, is building stablecoin-powered payment infrastructure on Tempo for its marketplace of merchants and Dashers across 40+ countries.

Hear from @andyfang, co-founder of @DoorDash on why:

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

Most stablecoin payments today are publicly visible, which is a non-starter for many businesses looking to adopt stablecoins

We’ve developed Tempo Zones, a practical privacy solution for stablecoin payments
