Rob Hadick shared thisFX is the largest market in the world, and yet it still operates primarily analog. At the same time stablecoins are reinventing the way money moves, but they are almost entirely US dollar denominated.

Rob Hadick reposted thisRob Hadick reposted thisYesterday I attended the Stripe Commons forum and spoke about the future of tokenization alongside a panel with Paul Frambot (Morpho) - gave me a fist bump on stage, a first for me, Christine Moy (Apollo Global Management, Inc.) and moderated by Rob Hadick (Dragonfly). My takeaways: 1. There is a healthy shift from meme coins to RWA and stablecoins. Builders are finally focused on using blockchain to solve real-world problems—exactly what we’re doing with our vertically integrated stack. 2. Lots of talk about agentic payments, but use cases remain thin. The big question: will incumbents preserve their hegemony, or will stablecoins disrupt the lock-in we’ve seen since the watershed 2016 PayPal/Visa/Mastercard deals? 3. Stripe is serious about this. Bridge and Privy have massive momentum, and we’re proud to partner with Tempo via $YLDS to drive atomic settlement 4. At least one conference attendee had a fun personal wifi network (See screenshot)😊 Max Segall thanks for the invite / being a solid photographer

Rob Hadick reacted on thisRob Hadick reacted on thisEarlier this week, we announced Latitude. There was a lot to take in, so I want to spend a moment to double-click on our flagship product: Global Fiat Payouts The simple version: fund us in USD, pay anyone in 50+ countries in local currency, in under 2 minutes on average. It runs on stablecoin rails, but you don't need to think about that any more than you think about the protocol behind email when you hit send. #Advantage 1: Pricing you can actually see. No demo required. No spreadsheets. No tiered proposals after three sales calls. Any company, at any stage, pays 0.5% plus a small fixed fee per market. Across all 50+ countries. Upfront. #Advantage 2: Speed without locking up capital. Legacy cross-border payments require you to pre-fund accounts in destination countries, tying up working capital across dozens of markets. We don't. Funds move end-to-end in under two minutes, and you keep your capital free. #Advantage 3: No hidden FX spread. "Zero fees" is a common claim in this industry. What is often overlooked is that currency conversion quietly costs you. You send dollars, and your recipient gets fewer Brazilian reais than the rate quoted by a 3rd-party site like Google. We price against the interbank benchmark rate, so you can always verify our FX spread. The 0.5% is the transparent fee. This is the product we spent 15 months building the liquidity network to support. Fast, transparent, and priced fairly, regardless of your size.

🟠 DDC Enterprise's $528M Capital Raise: A New Era in Corporate Bitcoin Strategy 🔹 What Happened NYSE‑listed DDC Enterprise (DayDayCook) has closed a $528 million financing package—one of the largest capital raises by a public company specifically to expand its Bitcoin treasury. 🔹 Strategic Funding Structure $26M PIPE from crypto-native investors. $25M convertible note with $275M in drawdown flexibility. $2M private placement plus a $200M equity line of credit. 🔹 Execution & Vision Already acquired 38 BTC, bringing holdings to 138 BTC. DDC intends to build “one of the world’s most valuable corporate Bitcoin treasuries.” - Norma Chu, CEO ���️ Why It Matters for CFOs & Boards 1. Scale and conviction A half-billion-dollar, Bitcoin-specific raise shows serious strategic intent. This is no pilot—it’s a paradigm shift. 2. Capital structure innovation Modular financing (PIPE, convertibles, ELOC) provides strategic flexibility to optimize timing, risk, and balance sheet impact. 3. Integrated corporate strategy A plant-based food company is now embedding Bitcoin into its core financial architecture. This is strategy—not speculation. 🤔 A Question for Business Leaders: If a consumer food brand can lead on Bitcoin treasury, what’s stopping industrials, energy, or tech players from following? Could your treasury execute a similar capital strategy—purpose-built for digital asset resilience? 💡For CFOs, strategists, and board directors: this is more than a headline. It’s a signal. The Monetary Transition is unfolding—and it’s time to evaluate where your company stands. It's time to think about how bitcoin can serve your company's strategy. 🟠 Let's roll with Orange Wheel #MonetaryTransition #BitcoinTreasury #CorporateFinance #StrategicFinance #DigitalAssets https://lnkd.in/d28Gs4GX

📢 Big News for Multi-Asset Crypto Exposure: Grayscale’s GDLC Gets SEC Approval for NYSE Arca Listing! The U.S. SEC has officially approved the listing and trading of Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) on NYSE Arca – a milestone for regulated crypto investment products. 🔍 What’s Inside GDLC? ▫️ Bitcoin (BTC) – 72% allocation ▫️ Ethereum (ETH) – 17% allocation ▫️ XRP – 5.62% allocation ▫️ Solana (SOL) – 4.03% allocation ▫️ Cardano (ADA) – 1% allocation This approval enables investors to gain broad, regulated exposure to the top 5 crypto assets under one umbrella. Notably, the fund recently reduced its BTC weightage to increase allocations in ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA – signaling a more diversified approach. 🔍 Why It Matters: ▫️ First-of-its-kind regulated multi-asset crypto fund on NYSE Arca. ▫️ Builds on Grayscale’s legal win over the SEC, which accelerated the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. ▫️Sets the stage for future multi-asset crypto ETFs as regulatory clarity improves. ETF expert Nate Geraci praised Grayscale for “laying the groundwork” for crypto ETFs, noting how the SEC’s decision ties directly to Grayscale’s lawsuit and the new Crypto ETF Rule relying on futures contracts traded on regulated venues. 💡 This is more than just a listing — it’s another step toward mainstream institutional adoption of diversified crypto products. #Grayscale #GDLC #CryptoETF #DigitalAssets #Innovation https://lnkd.in/g3VUS7vV

Recently, Ryan Rodenbaugh from Wallfacer Labs sat down with the Gauntlet team, John Morrow and Holt Butler, to unpack how they’ve evolved from DeFi consultants into infrastructure operators managing $1B+ in vaults. 𝐖𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: 🔹 Gauntlet has embedded its advisory logic directly into non-custodial vaults, enabling automated, onchain capital allocation without relying on slow governance processes. 🔹 The newly launched gtUSDa vault has already increased APY from 7% to over 12% by dynamically reallocating across Morpho, Pendle, and Base, showcasing the power of model-driven yield strategies. 🔹 Partnerships with Apollo and Securitize illustrate that large credit managers now see blockchains as a cheaper, faster distribution and leverage rail; real-world assets are expected to supply anti-correlated yield that stabilizes DeFi cycles. 🔹 Lending markets are becoming more efficient as users increasingly route capital across Aave, Morpho, and Euler in a single click, compressing spreads and improving capital use. 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐬: 🔸 Cross-chain vaults are on track to become DeFi’s default cash parking layer. 🔸 Curator performance in volatility will determine who earns protocol trust. 🔸 As private credit, treasuries and tokenized stocks flood DeFi, the correlation gap with crypto-native margin yields will shrink, pressuring pure-crypto vaults to add new sources of alpha.

When the OCC issued its eagerly-anticipated plan for regulating stablecoins late last month, it caused a tempest in the digital asset industry - Was the agency trying to ban interest or yield payments? The details, it turns out, are much more complicated. According to government, legal and industry sources, crypto fears about the proposal are overblown. Some of the most prominent business arrangements in the market today, like Coinbase’s 3.5 percent “reward” to customers who hold Circle’s stablecoin, could continue even if the OCC rule was finalized as-is, many of these sources believe. Still the furor is said to caught the agency off guard – and prompted some quiet outreach. Comptroller Jonathan Gould personally spoke with a handful of leading digital asset advocates, sources say. Part of his message: the plan was not meant to favor one industry over another. He stressed that the policy is in the early stages, and encouraged substantive comments.

TLDR on CUtoday's article with Becky Reed? BankSocial is rolling out a private, tokenized liquidity network (a next-gen version of shared branching for credit unions) built on distributed ledger technology. Instead of using legacy rails like ACH or relying on intermediary “acquirer” credit unions, the network enables direct, real-time, peer-to-peer settlement between participating institutions. Key benefits: ✅ Faster, cheaper, and more secure transactions. ✅ Full network visibility to detect and stop fraud in real time. ��� No cryptocurrency speculation, tokens are purely for transaction settlement. ✅ Built for the cooperative model, not a centralized operator. ✅ Already 25–30 credit unions signed on for pilots, with plans for international connectivity (Mexico, Europe). Our, COO, Becky Reed calls it “shared branching 2.0”. Modernizing how #CreditUnions cooperate in money movement while still aligning with their mission.

In a landmark move for the digital asset ecosystem, WisdomTree, Inc. has received the necessary regulatory clearances to launch round-the-clock trading and instant settlement for its tokenized money market fund, WTGXX. The New York-based asset manager announced the initiative on Tuesday, following explicit approvals from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). This development effectively bridges traditional finance operating hours with the perpetual nature of blockchain markets, creating a new paradigm for liquidity and accessibility in regulated digital securities. Demystifying the WTGXX Milestone: Beyond the Headline The launch represents more than a simple extension of trading hours. It signifies a fundamental architectural shift in how a registered investment product can function. A tokenized money market fund like WTGXX exists as a digital representation of a traditional fund on a blockchain. Each token signifies a share, but its transfer and settlement have, until now, been constrained by the legacy systems of traditional finance (TradFi), which typically settle trades on a T+2 basis—two days after the transaction. WisdomTree's new model leverages distributed ledger technology to enable what it terms "real-time settlement." When an investor buys or sells WTGXX tokens on a supported platform, the transaction and the simultaneous transfer of ownership can be completed within moments, at any time of day or night. This directly addresses a long-standing friction point between the crypto market's 24/7/365 operational model and the traditional financial world's limited windows. The regulatory path to this point has been incremental. WisdomTree first gained approval to launch the fund as a digital asset in 2023. The recent, specific approvals from the SEC and FINRA for the continuous trading and settlement mechanism underscore a cautious but evolving regulatory stance toward the operational mechanics of tokenized securities. The Mechanics and Market Impact of Continuous Trading This innovation carries significant implications for multiple market participants. For the first time, institutional and retail investors can manage exposure to a short-term, yield-bearing asset with the same immediacy they expect from cryptocurrencies. - For Investors: It provides a seamless tool for treasury management. Corporations or individuals can move in and out of a stable, regulated cash-equivalent position instantly in response to market events, without waiting for the next business day. - For the Crypto Ecosystem: It offers a robust, regulated on-ramp and off-ramp. Traders can park capital in a SEC-registered product during volatile periods without exiting the digital asset space entirely, improving overall market stability.
