One thing I’ve been paying attention to lately is not only whether stablecoins are growing (I think it's pretty clear they are), but also who is talking about them. A few years ago, an article like this would have likely appeared in a crypto publication. Today, it’s appearing in one of Colombia’s leading business newspapers, @Portafolioco, where our perspective was included as part of the conversation around the future of cross-border payments.
The article focuses on international money movement, but I think the more interesting story is that stablecoins are gradually becoming part of the broader discussion around financial infrastructure.
That doesn’t mean every challenge has been solved, and it certainly doesn’t mean adoption happens overnight. But when mainstream business media starts covering stablecoins as a practical tool for moving money across borders, it’s a sign that the conversation is evolving.
Not because the technology suddenly changed, but because the audience did.

Últimamente he estado prestando atención no solo al crecimiento de las stablecoins (creo que ya es bastante evidente), sino también a quiénes están hablando de ellas. Hace algunos años, un artículo como este probablemente habría aparecido en un medio especializado en cripto. Hoy aparece en @Portafolioco, uno de los principales periódicos económicos de Colombia, donde tuvimos la oportunidad de aportar nuestra perspectiva sobre el futuro de los pagos cross-border.
El artículo se enfoca en el movimiento internacional de dinero, pero para mí la historia más interesante es otra: las stablecoins están comenzando a formar parte de una conversación mucho más amplia sobre infraestructura financiera.
Eso no significa que todos los problemas están resueltos, ni mucho menos que la adopción va a ocurrir de la noche a la mañana. Pero cuando los medios económicos tradicionales empiezan a analizar las stablecoins como una herramienta práctica para mover dinero entre países, es una señal de que la conversación está evolucionando.
No porque la tecnología haya cambiado de repente, sino porque la audiencia sí lo ha hecho.

My time living in Bogotá has really played an important role in how I think about payments, cross-border financial infrastructure, and generally building across markets that are unique in their own ways, so I’m very excited that Blockradar gets to show up in Colombia this week.
I’m especially happy that @daniel0larte and team get the opportunity to share more about what we’re building, and that we get to do it alongside our friends at Salvo Patria.
Also grateful to Latam Fintech Hub for continuing to push Colombia further into the center of fintech conversations across the region.
If you're at the conference come by and have some milhoja with us!
Hola Bogotá! 🇨🇴
We’re excited to share that we will be sponsoring and participating in Paytech Conf this week alongside our partners at Salvo Patria and chef Alejandro Gutiérrez, who’ll be serving their delicious milhojas at out booth!
One of the things we’re most looking forward to about this week is simply being in the room with so many different parts of the Colombian payments ecosystem at once. You have companies thinking about real-time payments, fraud infrastructure, cross-border settlement, open finance, acquiring, treasury movement, stablecoins, banking rails, compliance, and payment operations all approaching similar problems from completely different angles.
That’s usually where the most interesting conversations happen. We’re excited to listen, learn, and meet more of the people helping shape payments infrastructure across Colombia and the broader region.
If you’ll be at the conference, come find the Blockradar team at booth #14.

Hola Bogotá 🇨🇴 !
Nos emociona compartir que estaremos patrocinando y participando en Paytech Conf esta semana junto a nuestros colaboradores de Salvo Patria y el chef Alejandro Gutiérrez, quien estará sirviendo su deliciosa milhoja en nuestro stand.
Una de las cosas que más nos entusiasma de esta semana es simplemente poder estar en el mismo espacio con tantas partes distintas del ecosistema de pagos colombiano al mismo tiempo.
Habrá empresas pensando en pagos en tiempo real, infraestructura antifraude, liquidación transfronteriza, open finance, acquiring, movimientos de tesorería, stablecoins, rieles bancarios, compliance y operaciones de pagos, todas abordando problemas similares desde ángulos completamente distintos.
Ahí es donde normalmente surgen las conversaciones más interesantes.
Tenemos muchas ganas de escuchar, aprender y conocer a más personas que están ayudando a construir la infraestructura de pagos en Colombia y en toda la región.
Si vas a estar en la conferencia, ven a saludar al equipo de Blockradar en el booth #14.
MXNB is now live on Blockradar 🇲🇽 Fintechs can now embed Mexican peso stablecoin wallets directly into their products using Blockradar’s non-custodial infrastructure.
Built by @Bitso through Juno, @mxnb_token
brings programmable pesos to fintechs building remittances, treasury flows, payouts, and cross-border payments. From cNGN to IDRX to MXNB, we’re continuing to expand local stablecoin infrastructure across the globe.
Every market needs a digital version of its local currency.

Glad to bring MXNB to fintechs building on Blockradar across Mexico and LATAM. Local currency stablecoins are becoming an increasingly important part of payment infrastructure.
Had a QBR with the @BlockradarHQ team recently , @MORe_aGAiN and @iamnotstatic
Having processed over $3M in 2026 , they did want to know what caused the massive growth.
Grateful to our users for trusting us and for all the referrals , also grateful to my super amazing team 🙏🏾
April was another success , let’s do a madness in May 🔥.
Virtual cards and Global payouts to over 170 countries going live this first week of May.
Stay tuned
Excited to be featured in this report! 🎉
Our story could have stayed off-chain, but it didn’t. @base and @BlockRadarHQ brought us on-chain, and that single move unlocked something we hadn’t imagined: stable-coin cards that now serve travelers and spenders across 100+ countries.
I've spent the last few days touring Thailand's green spaces, farmland, and meeting a bunch of cool people while sharing https://t.co/jY1uQfcSJE.
Over the next couple of days I'll share a few inspiring meetings I've had, and how they've added to our vision for SmartShamba. Enjoy!
First up:
I had the pleasure of visiting Nong Nooch Tropical Garden in Pattaya, and the honor of meeting its owner and president, Kampon Tansacha.
Nong Nooch is the largest botanical garden in Southeast Asia, sitting on 640 acres. Easily one of the most impressive things I've seen in a long time. It took around 30 minutes to find Mr Kampon because he still tends to the gardens himself, embedded in his team.
1/ Security starts at the infrastructure layer. Lock your API access to approved IP addresses only.
Blockradar’s IP Whitelisting lets you restrict API requests to specific IPs, adding an additional layer of protection to your integration.
just another toolkit tuesday
Meet us at the @AfriFintech in Washington, DC where we'll be discussing how stablecoins are being used in everyday systems across Africa, solving for payments, FX, and liquidity, and influencing how global adoption is taking shape.
ICYMI, @tempo mainnet is live on Blockradar. We now give fintechs a simple way to issue @tempo wallets and run stablecoin flows on a payments-first chain through one unified API.
Many chains prioritize throughput for trading, however, @tempo prioritizes reliability for payments. Its stablecoin fee model and consistent performance make it ideal for fintechs exploring stablecoin settlement at scale.

Building the future of programmable money takes real builders shipping real systems.
We’re excited to announce the first cohort of 2026 Circle Developer Grant recipients:
@AgriDexPlatform@BeeezoHive@BlockradarHQ@BuFi_Global@CashmereLabs@ArrelTechnology (DAPL - Digital Asset Platform)
@dzap_io@flezpay@gcrx_io@HurupayApp@myazahq@OpenVPP@payritHQ@rebelfi_io@usesfxmoneyapp@thurmanlabs@TidesHQ@trumarket_tech
This group stood out for technical depth, execution velocity, and clear paths to production across:
→ AI financial agents
→ Payments & treasury
→ Capital markets & FX
→ DeFi & liquidity
→ Real-world assets
Many are already integrating Wallets, Gateway, and CCTP, with early Arc experimentation underway.
We’re proud to back teams that are already demonstrating real-world utility on stablecoin infrastructure.
Beyond funding, we’ll work closely with these founders as they build—offering resources, guidance, and hands-on support as they integrate Circle products like Wallets, Gateway, and CCTP (with Arc on their roadmap).
