@jenny_colgate But also 4 of the 7 owner banks of EWS, who owns Zelle - which is more than I would have guessed for an arguably competitive offering

Crypto is not exciting to anyone outside crypto the same way cloud tech is not exciting to anyone not making money from cloud tech

That’s why you have to make crypto invisible to end users (good/easy UX) and focus on actual benefits (useful/fun product)

[Valentin 🌾 @valentinblehaut]

FedNow just announced their 57 early adopters, which include 4 of the 15 biggest US banks - those being 4 of the 7 owners of EWS (ie Zelle). Given the appeal to non EWS owners (read: regional banks), this should get wider reach than Zelle/TCH

@ZainManji Yeah, as @alex_nov mentioned, OpenEden - but has hurdles, requires full KYC and a sizable minimum investment (>$100k)

Yield is high though, they estimate it 5.24% atm

The $76m Beanstalk exploit was insane:

1 - attacker took a series of flash loans on Aave totaling $1bn USD
2 - got a bunch of Stalk (governance token), >67% of supply
3 - passed a proposal to sift funds into a private ethereum address
