Brazil is proof of what's possible when clear regulation meets real-world utility:
✅ The infrastructure is built.
✅ The use cases are real.
✅ And the path to scale is opening fast.
Thanks for leading by example 🇧🇷 And for spending the day with us, São Paulo!
Feels good to be back after an electric week at #WEF25. The shift is undeniable – blockchain has moved from the sidelines to center stage, and I'm incredibly honored to champion for our industry. Here's some of the conversations we had 🧵
Facts that might surprise you about Stellar:
* You can send money globally + cashout in seconds with @MoneyGram & Stellar
* UNHCR (@Refugees) has saved $12m thanks to Stellar's technology in Ukraine
* Major institutions like Franklin Templeton (@FTDA_US) & @WisdomTreeFunds are building on Stellar today
A lot of new people looking at Stellar so I thought I'd write down some quick thoughts about why Stellar is worth your time.
IMHO Stellar is the most underrated and least understood crypto project. A lot of recent attention but people are still sleeping on this network.
Stellar already does way more transactions per day than all but two networks. 10x the number of transactions per day than Ethereum. Many real people are already using it for actual real-world transactions.
So many things are just simpler and well thought out. Native stablecoin and token issuing. Builtin DEX. On chain governance. Smart contract system that is safer (no footguns like re-entrancy), more performant (built from the ground up for concurrency), more sustainable (state archival). Better foundation for actually good UX (passkey support, native multi-sig), etc
It has been one of the most performant chains for years. Its fees have always been essentially 0 because the protocol is efficient and fast.
This is more qualitative, but the engineering is world class. And not so sexy but look at the developer docs. Absolutely the best in the industry. Makes spinning up on stellar as a developer a delight.
I believe the best and most impactful use of crypto is as digital money. Which means it must be a good and useful means of payment. This is what Stellar has been focused on and what it is built for. And it is a very very good system for this. People and businesses around the world are realizing this and I think Stellar has a very real chance of becoming a big part of the world's financial infrastructure.
But the dogs are cuter on some other coins, it's true.
