Many PSPs talk the talk, Checkout actually walks the blockchain walk as well.

As of today, if you’re a @Checkout merchant, you should ask (demand!) them to settle with you 24/7 using Stablecoins. Yes, 24/7.

Why? Because you want your capital management to be as efficient as possible, so you could do more for your business.

Congrats to the amazing Checkout and Fireblocks teams for working on this -

Lots of "agentic commerce" announcements lately. Most of it is PR masquerading as product.

We took our time. Talked to customers. Built the governance layer that's actually missing from the stack.

New article on what agentic payments need to work at scale 👇

Over a decade ago at Uber, we were paying drivers across 40 countries. Their top ask: "Pay me faster." That stuck with me through Coinbase and Stripe, where I kept running into the same wall from different angles.

Today, Latitude (@rtp) is launching out of stealth. We raised an $8M seed round in Jan 2025 and have been building quietly since then.

@sytaylor We call it Fireblocks :) Business should be stablecoin agnostic as a service made by Feintchs/Payments companies. Fintechs/Payments companies should be chain agnostic as a service made by infrastructure providers such as Fireblocks, BitGo, etc.

[WalletConnect @WalletConnect]

“Power is shifting to the distribution layer — wallets, exchanges, neobanks, and DeFi protocols that integrate stablecoins and own the user experience.”

Great report by M0, the thread itself is worth a read.

[M0 @m0]

Distribution is where the value is in stablecoins.

Explore where stablecoins are actually used in "The Future of Stablecoins" — a comprehensive report by M0 & @artemis.
