If you enjoyed this week’s newsletter, please share it with an RT.
this is what real adoption actually looks like.
~15M users.
a U.S. national bank.
stablecoin rails live on Solana.
inside the same app SoFi app people already use for saving, spending, borrowing, investing, and crypto.
most people are not downloading wallets. not bridging assets. not checking contract addresses. or not thinking about settlement finality.
stablecoins scale when they disappear into products people already trust.
bank app UX.
public blockchain settlement.
24/7 money movement.
tradfi is not coming onchain in one giant moment.
it is happening quietly through apps with users, licenses, and payment flow.
Everything is becoming an asset on Solana, from luxury cards to EV batteries to a country's currency.

it's not hard to use ai to build production level code if you prompt it well. if your code is slop cannon, or if your frontend looks "vibecoded", it is completely your fault. just takes a few careful prompts and maybe a few good common skills to have 100% ai gen code which doesn't suck
On the first floor, we had our members take a few workshops today.
