Big congrats to Eleni, Shane, and the entire Loop team!
We're grateful to have been on this ride with them from the beginning, and seeing them join forces with Lead Bank feels like the perfect next step
A huge win for both teams and the future of stablecoin and payments infra
Yesterday, @TheBlock__ covered our big news that @loopcrypto_xyz is joining @Lead_Bank to build the regulated & programmable banking foundation this next phase of payments will require.
Stablecoins are no longer fringe—they’re a fast-growing force that’s already transforming how money moves around the world.
Both Loop and Lead share a vision for modernizing payments built on blockchains. We could not be more excited to bring real stablecoin applications to market alongside this first-class team. More below ↓

NEW ATH 👀
The total stablecoin market cap just hit $290.687B.
Top 5 chains by supply:
@ethereum: $159.026B
@trondao: $77.733B
@solana: $12.501B

Multi-chain liquidity = multi-chain opportunity for builders to scale🤝
Had a great time speaking with @dr3wrogers on @stabledash as part of the @dynamic_xyz Stablecoin Playbook series.
As companies increasingly go global from day 1, stablecoin payments are becoming a key part of enabling that global expansion unlocking faster, cheaper ways to get paid.
"98% of crypto payments are now stablecoins." - Eleni
Not Bitcoin. Not Ethereum. Not Solana. Stablecoins.
@EleniThinks from @loopcrypto_xyz shared this data point, and it gets more interesting. Merchants using Loop Crypto are accepting payments from 2x more countries than before. 8.5% of their revenue comes from countries where crypto is their only payment option.
Half of Loop's new merchants know nothing about crypto. They're AI tools, e-commerce brands, B2B platforms. They just want to accept payments from customers worldwide.

The beauty of crypto is interoperability.
Stablecoins make it seamless to move between ecosystems, unlocking true flexibility.
@EleniThinks shoutouts tools like @0xSplits on-chain wallet + @fernhq_ for off-ramping that make building in Web3 smoother in the Amberdata Podcast episode hosted by @izzie_henderson!
Long-term mindset > short-term fear. @loopcrypto_xyz💡

B2B payments are one of the largest untapped markets in crypto.
Stablecoin B2B volumes have already grown to $3bn (per Artemis) and usage-based AI billing is adding new demand.
@loopcrypto_xyz is building the rails, infra, and data platform for this future. We’re proud to back their latest fundraise.
