@devontivona @Starlink @tryramp This is awesome

Free Idea: feed a prediction market API in and let employees gamble on whether their flight will indeed have Starlink 🛜

[Devon Tivona @devontivona]

Yesterday I had five hours on a flight with Wi-Fi that barely worked. “Has Wi-Fi” is a pretty low bar. So I added a @Starlink filter to @tryramp travel. Now you can check the odds of getting Starlink before you book. 🚀

@katieeperry @zerohashx @betr @moomoo @Winible See you there!!

Tokenized deposits issued by US banks are essentially CBDCs backed by a bank/FDIC.

Tremendously exciting to see this come to life with products like SOFIE from @SoFi—excited to test out cross-platform interop and exchangeability with stablecoins.

[Simon Taylor @sytaylor]

Tokenized deposits are internal stablecoins for banks

Because "a bank" is actually lots of little banks inside a big one.

“Starting a company teaches you what you need to know when you need to know it.”

@TurnkeyHQ Co-Founder and CEO @sadbryce had never sold before starting a business. Then came the sales conversations, a growing team, and the uncomfortable situations that forced him to learn.

On a new episode of Stable Pulse: CEO Beat, he joins @bamazizimesh to discuss building Turnkey, lessons from Coinbase Custody, and the future of crypto custody, stablecoin payments, and wallets for AI agents.

We may be approaching one of the biggest changes in how money moves since the internet went mainstream.

Our CEO @davidmarcus shared some thoughts on this in a conversation with @hopeking at @Money2020 yesterday.

A few takeaways from their conversation:
