From today's #Money2020EU keynote session:
"Agentic payments have to be backwards compatible. You can't ask every merchant and payments company to rebuild their infrastructure from scratch. It has to layer onto the rails they already have. And security and compliance have to be baked in, not bolted on."

Fund subscriptions with any asset.
Fireblocks Flow launched today, and it pairs natively with @Solana Subscriptions in Dynamic embedded wallets.
Pay with SOL, settle in @USDC.
Watch the demo!
Introducing Fireblocks Flow.
Flow is stablecoin acceptance infrastructure for PSPs and fintechs.
Consumers can pay with any digital asset. Merchants settle the stablecoin they configure.
If you process millions of payments across Africa, LatAm, or Southeast Asia, you know accepting stablecoins is messy.
Now, it’s easy with one SDK or API. Drop Flow into your checkout, deposit, withdrawal, and agent flows.
Flow will be live on @theflutterwave, @ournuvion, and Blipply.
Synthetix 🤝 @FireblocksHQ
Synthetix has partnered with Fireblock's Dynamic wallet infrastructure for fast, secure & reliable onboarding to Synthetix Perps.
Earlier this week we sat down with @turbahn from @dynamic_xyz 💬
His take: every financial use case will need to touch crypto rails.
And privacy is what makes those rails usable.
"There is no scenario in my opinion in which international wires or a SWIFT-type transaction wins over global-first crypto rails for international transactions...any bank that wants to send money to another bank on the other side of the world needs to touch these rails and needs that privacy."
That's exactly what Dynamic on Aleo solves.

🔥 LATEST: Dynamic becomes the first wallet provider to support embedded private payments on @AleoHQ.
Users can log in with an email and send private payments without seed phrases or browser extensions.
Great morning at CADD & Coffee during #TorontoTechWeek hosted by @TetraDigitalGrp!
A few takeaways:
- Stablecoins as a neutral settlement layer, not just another asset, with value compounding through network effects
- CADD is a real unlock for everyday Canadians. Faster payments, better banking, instant availability
- Agentic wallets are closer than people think. Agents are talking directly to endpoints, paying for APIs, data, and services on a per-request basis and settling in stablecoins
- Builders move first, everything else follows
Playbook for fintechs to move onchain:
1- [optional] Open a new crypto section in the app: often starts as a centralized speculation product. Not very interesting, but it makes trading fees which often helps convince management.
2- Progressively upgrade the technical infra of the crypto section: non-custodial wallet accounts for each user, onchain settlement, DEXes, and onchain lending.
3- Introduce non-speculative products: stablecoin yield, RWA-backed loans, crypto cards, crypto pay-in/pay-out.
4- Abstract crypto away: tokenized assets and stablecoins become just assets and fiat, gas is sponsored, the chain doesn’t even show up.
5- As your onchain stack lets you access more standardized products, at better rates, fees, liquidity, …progressively let the crypto section take over the whole app.
More and more, I see people skipping step 1.
