Love to see the line between traditional finance and crypto being blurred than ever, especially hearing about the recent HK Fintech Wee kand SG Fintech Festival. Meanwhile, we've been meeting with Korea's major banks, payment companies, and financial institutions to shape our 2026 plans, while also speaking with regulators in Japan about the upcoming stablecoin regulatory frameworks.
2026 will be a decisive year for LayerZero, and Asia is full of opportunities waiting to be unlocked.
Weβre looking for people who can move fluidly across different worlds: traditional finance and crypto, strategy and execution, sales and marketing, online and offline.
If youβre competent, confident, and kind, we want to talk to you.
LayerZero has both the vision and the foundation to empower exceptional people thrive.
Please see the current openings β¬οΈ for Business Development and Solutions Architecture in Hong Kong and Japan, and DM me for any interest or referrals.
We're delighted to partner with leading teams to bring further composability to Core USDC:
- @eo_network ensures that coreUSDC is backed by specialized, risk-aware price feeds.
- @LayerZero_Core turns Core USDC into an OVault so users can deposit from Ethereum, HyperEVM, Sonic, Arbitrum, Avalanche and Base
Composability soon π
I still remember the first $1,000,000 ever sent on @LayerZero_Core
When we hit $100,000,000 total transferred
Our first 1M messages (this took almost a year)
$10B transferred in a single month
This puts LZ in the top 10 payments companies globally
