#BitsoPerps
Me hubiese encantado estar del otro lado, ser cliente de un producto y recibir una respuesta a mi feedback así de rápido.
Como no tuve esa experiencia, decidí hacer exactamente lo contrario y dársela a nuestros usuarios.
Pesos on one side. Dollars on the other. Anchorage Digital Bank custody underneath both.
MXNB is now custodied across six chains, and USDPT and USAT are live on @Bitso. The US-Mexico stablecoin corridor just got its custody layer.

convergence to the mean
when everyone looks at everyone else to decide what to make, we eventually stop making anything of our own.
we copy what works. borrow the language, the aesthetic, the features. we call it learning from the market, following best practices, staying competitive. together, everything starts to feel familiar. polished, interchangeable. nothing wrong. nothing alive.
the mean isn’t necessarily bad. it’s where everything lands when we remove the reasons for it to be different.
numbers are easier to compare than feelings, so we make things that produce numbers. we study what gets attention, then shape ourselves around it. eventually the feedback stops informing the work and starts authoring it. we’re no longer asking what we want to say. we’re asking what will be rewarded for saying.
ai makes this loop frictionless. it can draw from more references than we could see in a lifetime. but access to every perspective isn’t the same as having one. it hasn’t lived a particular life that makes one detail unbearable and another beautiful. when we ask it to choose for us without bringing any intention of our own, we get something plausible, easy to approve.
then we ship it, measure it, copy it, and feed it back into the next round. a tidal wave of mid.
this changes not just the work, but the people making it.
we describe ourselves in categories platforms can distribute and markets understand. designer. founder. creator. pick a niche. build a brand. be consistent. the parts that don’t fit become inconvenient, even when those contradictions might produce our most interesting work. we become easier to classify and harder to tell apart.
i think we need to approach making things more like artists.
an artist develops a perspective through the work. making, noticing, choosing, failing, returning. learning what matters even when nobody else cares. craft gives that perspective a form precise enough for someone else to experience.
the life outside the work matters too. the places you’ve lived, the people you’ve loved, the things you’re embarrassed to care about. these aren’t distractions from having something to say. they’re how you come to have something to say.
we understand this with music, paintings, photographs, movies. we expect a person to be present in the choices. we want to experience something we wouldn’t have encountered without them.
software can do this too.
a piece of software expresses beliefs about how life should feel. what deserves your attention. what you should be free to change. whether a task should feel like paperwork or play. even a small interaction can carry someone’s care, humor, or curiosity.
but we rarely talk about software as a medium. we talk about it as an industry. markets to capture, workflows to optimize, competitors to catch up with. we add a feature because someone else has it, without asking whether it belongs. products accumulate the same parts and lose what made them worth choosing.
underneath the branding, it’s all the same thing.
artists learn from others too. the question is whether you’re absorbing those influences into a point of view, or using them to avoid developing one.
what are you trying to let someone feel, understand, or do? why this particular shape? what have you noticed that the existing tools don’t seem to notice?
those questions don’t have answers you can borrow from a competitor’s roadmap.
if we can make almost anything, deciding what deserves to exist becomes more important, not less. speed gives us more chances to exercise judgment. it doesn’t remove the responsibility.
i don’t want a world where every person becomes a more efficient distributor of the same ideas. i want people to use these tools to go further into what they actually care about. to make things specific enough that we can feel someone behind them.
what is the point of everyone being able to make something, if we all end up making the same thing?
Una cosa de DeFi que me parece increíble:
Hoy puedes depositar USDC en nuestro vault de Morpho, generar ~4.20% de yield, y usar esa misma posición como colateral para pedir MXNB prestado a ~6%.
El yield se genera sobre todo tu colateral, mientras que pagas intereses sólo sobre lo que pides prestado. Como el préstamo está sobrecolateralizado, ignorando el tipo de cambio, el costo efectivo es menor que el spread entre ambas tasas (en este caso, menos de 1.8%).
Si tienes USDC pero necesitas pesos y no quieres vender tus dólares, esto se vuelve todavía más interesante.
Hoy esto requiere varios pasos en Morpho. Lo probé y me tomó menos de un minuto. Pero imaginen esto convertido en un solo click:
depositas USDC → genera yield → pides MXNB prestado contra esa posición.
Obviamente no es dinero gratis: hay riesgo MXN/USD, riesgo de liquidación, las tasas cambian y están los riesgos propios de DeFi.
Pero esto es exactamente lo que me gusta de la composability de DeFi. Tomas dos productos relativamente sencillos y al juntarlos aparece algo que antes era bastante difícil de construir.
First of its kind: @buildwithjuno by @bitso just launched Mexican Peso onchain credit markets and vaults on Morpho, curated by @gauntlet_xyz.
The blueprint for LATAM stablecoin onchain utility - users can access $MXNB liquidity against $USDC & $BTC, or put $MXNB to work on @base.
For the first time ever, there's an onchain money market denominated in Mexican pesos.
The MXNB Vault is live on @morpho, curated by @gauntlet_xyz, and built on @base. 🇲🇽
#MXNB, el peso mexicano pero onchain, ya está oficialmente en la red @base.
Disponible también directamente desde @baseapp, permitiendo a los usuarios acceder a liquidez en pesos mexicanos y en tiempo real. 🇲🇽
Para impulsar esta expansión del ecosistema, #MXNB también está en @aeroxyz, el principal DEX de Base. El pool MXNB/USDC ya está disponible para hacer swaps, aportar liquidez y habilitar transacciones USD/MXN onchain de forma simple y eficiente.
Un paso más hacia un sistema financiero sin fronteras. 🚀
🇲🇽 Mexican peso yield is live on @0xPolygon!
Three new liquidity pools — powered by Polygon, built by
