Everyone knows the "Coinbase effect" but some day there will be a "Flexa effect" once coins get listed on @FlexaHQ and spendable on every e-commerce and in every stores around the globe.

Since late last year, I’ve been working on a project related to agentic commerce. Today I’m excited to share a little bit more about that initiative and why I think it’s more timely and important than ever that we build better infrastructure for machines to move money. In short, it’s obvious that we’re entering the “age of autonomy.” Smart machines are learning how to perform important tasks on behalf of humans and each other. But the tools available for these machines to make and accept payments today are no better than blunt rocks and clubs. If we ever want machines to be able to conduct commerce at scale, then we need totally new financial primitives that are faster, more streamlined, simpler, and more robust than anything available today. Final (@usefinal) is the new company I’ve formed to gather this work together. Part think tank, part factory, Final is a design workshop that’s building the new infrastructure for machines to move money. For the last 8 years, our team at Flexa (@FlexaHQ) has been building onchain payments infrastructure for enterprise. Many of you are aware that Flexa today is the most licensed crypto payments provider in the US—and that’s with even more rails and corridors under active development. I’m not leaving Flexa anytime soon. For all the reasons listed above, I expect Flexa to play a critical role in helping to deploy the new technology that Final is building. And if anything, I am hoping this initiative will enable Flexa to be even more intrinsic to helping crypto payments go mainstream—because at this point, I’m fully convinced that the rise of agentic commerce will come to be known as the biggest inflection point in crypto payments adoption, period. I’ve posted some notes on how Final is approaching agentic commerce over at final.net. As the next few months unfold, I sincerely hope you’ll follow along to learn more about why we think a fresh perspective is warranted, and how equipping smart machines with better financial tools can benefit us all. More to come!

Introducing Flexa Terminal—simply the fastest and easiest way to accept crypto and stablecoins on the go.

I’ll be recording a podcast this week with Flexa senior leadership to discuss our partnership and how Flexa and $AMP (crypto with UTILITY) will power retail transactions globally. Bealls is excited to pioneer, and be the first US retailer to accept crypto across nearly all wallets and coins. What do you think is THE most undervalued cryptocurrency available to purchase right now? Got $AMP ??

Because AMP is what makes crypto payments actually work in the real world. A lot of people think accepting crypto is as simple as letting customers scan a QR code and send Bitcoin or Ethereum directly, but retail doesn’t work that way. When you’re running 600 stores and a customer is standing at the register, you can’t wait ten minutes for a blockchain confirmation. You need the payment to clear instantly, with zero risk to the merchant and zero friction for the customer. That’s exactly what Flexa solved and AMP is the core of how it works. AMP is a coin but it’s also collateral. It guarantees every transaction in real time. When a customer pays in any crypto BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, stablecoins AMP is what backs that payment so the merchant gets paid immediately, even while the blockchain settles behind the scenes. If something fails or delays, AMP covers it automatically. It’s a decentralized insurance layer that removes the last obstacle between crypto and mass retail adoption. That’s why Bealls went with Flexa and AMP. It’s the only system built to handle real retail volume safely, instantly, and without relying on a centralized middleman. It protects both the merchant and the customer, lowers fees, and makes crypto spendable in everyday life. In my opinion, AMP is the missing link between the blockchain economy and the physical world, it’s what finally makes crypto usable at scale.

A monumental moment - the GENIUS Act has officially passed, and will be signed into law tomorrow at the White House! This legislation delivers the regulatory clarity our industry has worked toward for years, laying the foundation for the next generation of digital asset innovation. It's a major win for innovation, consumer protections, and bringing digital asset payments mainstream. We at @FlexaHQ couldn’t be more energized! Just yesterday, we launched Mini App Payments, bringing instant, fraud-proof crypto payments to your favorite social apps, and there’s much more to come. These are transformative days for crypto, payments, and for consumers everywhere. The new era of commerce is here, and #FlexaHQ is ready to lead the charge! #GENIUSAct #CryptoPayments #PayWithFlexa #PoweredByAmp

The GENIUS Act has passed the Senate.

Many in D.C. and the media are rightfully energized about stablecoin payments -- finally! -- thanks to the promise of stablecoin legislation. No doubt this is exciting, long overdue, and something we at Flexa have been working for since 2018; I, personally, have been to 50 Senate and House offices, had 250 meetings, all for the greater good of authenticating/legitimizing the biggest technological breakthrough of our lifetimes with meaningful, if not perfect, regulation -- regulation that will trigger full scale adoption for merchants, and for all of commerce. Honestly, I cannot over emphasize how massive this is, and I very much look forward to time proving this to be absolutely correct. But now I want to pause, before the legislation hits and the world reacts as if stablecoin payments are something new, and congratulate the entire Flexa team on the eve of this legislation becoming a reality. Why? Because Flexa has been powering stablecoin payments since 2019. Because Flexa already enables enterprise grade merchants like Chipotle, Regal, Sheetz, Ulta Beauty, GameStop (and many new merchants coming soon™) to accept stablecoin payments -- now -- launched years before other payment platforms, and prior to even a hint of this needed regulation. Because unlike any other payment platform, Flexa provides its merchant partners with fraud proof and immediate payment solutions for any digital asset from any wallet, with payments contractually guaranteed, all thanks to the genius of Amp, the only neutral collateral token on earth, which for the first time in the history of human commerce has entirely decentralized risk, obliterating the need for 2000 person credit/debit fraud departments that needlessly contribute to total U.S. social cost of payments exceeding 2% of the U.S. GDP each year, which equates to the U.S. lighting ~$700B on fire annually, for no reason, all because it relies on analogue debit/credit rails invented 30 years before the internet (and by the way, yes, those are the same rails MasterCard, etc., are still using today with their alleged stablecoin payment platforms). Because the ridiculously cool stuff we've already built but haven't launched will power a future of payments beyond stablecoins; meaning, Flexa is poised to power the post-stablecoin, next generation of payments today, 5 years before everyone else, just like we powered stabecoin payments 5 years before anyone else. That said, I could not be more excited about the incoming stablecoin legislation and its impact on the future of payments, which will not include credit or debit rails, and which will at long last be fully open commerce for all, unbanked and underbanked included, equally, all brought to you by Flexa, and all powered by Amp.
