CPTO@Tala. Builder. Love everything Technology, Payments, & Bitcoin

[Nicolas Cabrera @NicCabrera_]

Dollar-denominated stablecoins are practical financial infrastructure in emerging markets, but the opportunity comes with trade-offs that we can’t ignore.

Looking forward to discussing the ins and outs with @Parbhoo_Amee (@Accion) and Rafael Espinosa Aranda (@chippercashapp) at @thestablecon on Sep 10.

Open rails + AI-native credit intelligence isn't just moving today's credit market onchain. It's making an entirely new population visible to global capital.

[Nicolas Cabrera @NicCabrera_]

Move $200T onchain and it still reaches the same people — that's new rails, not a new system.

We're building the intelligence layer at @talamobile: a tokenized lending platform with our underwriting built into partners' platforms, powered by 10 years of behavioral and repayment data — pricing thin-file borrowers no bureau has ever seen.

[Nicolas Cabrera @NicCabrera_]

Credit is moving onchain. That's half the story.

Agree with a lot of what @PaulFrambot shared with @jacqmelinek about how open infra connects capital globally, and $30B onchain today has a real shot at the $200T credit market.

But a blockchain doesn't know who should get that capital, or what responsible credit looks like for someone traditional finance can't see.
