First of its kind: @buildwithjuno by @bitso just launched Mexican Peso onchain credit markets and vaults on Morpho, curated by @gauntlet_xyz. The blueprint for LATAM stablecoin onchain utility - users can access $MXNB liquidity against $USDC & $BTC, or put $MXNB to work on @base.

We just had an offsite to gather the full team in person. I feel genuinely happy and a little bit proud that we built such a team together over the past 5y now: a team with members who are open, kind, passionate and love to do great work. I'm confident Morpho is going to have a major positive impact on this planet. Higher 🦋

We’ve just raised $175M, in a round co-led by @paradigm, @a16zcrypto, and @RibbitCapital, the largest raise DeFi has ever seen. Credit is the bedrock of our civilization, but the infrastructure underneath is fragmented, extractive, and closed to most of the world. That is what @Morpho is here to change. Morpho is building the open credit network for the world. The global credit market is $ 200T. We are building the infrastructure layer that will move it onchain, and every institution, fintech, and bank that wants to participate in the next era of finance will connect to this network. After four years of being heads down building Morpho, we now count more than $11B in deposits and integrations with leading financial institutions including @Coinbase, @Binance, @FireblocksHQ, @SG_Forge, @krakenfx, @Bitwise, and dozens of others building on Morpho to offer better products to their users. But this is just the beginning. This raise will allow us to accelerate: activating the global credit network at scale, building the go-to-market engine to match our ambition, and bringing more institutions onto the network faster. Having any kind of onchain strategy in this era will mean going through Morpho at some point. Reach out and let's talk. And if you want to help build the open credit network for the world, we have plenty of open roles. Let’s fly 🦋

The funding will help accelerate Morpho's position as the foundation for onchain credit.

The attempt to sabotage a photographer’s chances ended up creating the most memorable image of his career. Everyone at the regional zoo photography competition knew he was the favorite. Year after year, his elephant photographs stood out, and he had earned a reputation for being one of the friendliest people there, always gracious even when others hoped someone else would finally take the top prize. So when a zoo insider quietly helped a competing friend, they thought they had found the perfect way to stop him. He was assigned the worst elephant viewing slot of the day, a time when the elephants were usually resting and inactive. Since his winning images often showcased their strength, movement, and personality, it seemed like a guaranteed disadvantage. He realized exactly what was happening, but instead of arguing or complaining, he simply picked up his camera and headed in as if nothing had changed. When he arrived, he found an elephant peacefully resting among a pile of old tires, completely still, with a small butterfly perched on its trunk. Rather than trying to force a dramatic shot, he patiently waited. Moments later, the elephant opened its eyes and awkwardly crossed them to look at the butterfly sitting inches from its face. The result was one of the funniest and most unexpected wildlife photographs anyone at the event had ever seen. 😂 The image went on to win the competition and quickly spread far beyond it, becoming a reminder that sometimes the obstacle meant to hold you back ends up leading directly to your greatest opportunity.

deel, one of the largest payroll platforms in the world, just launched its own neobank. historically, the flow of funds looked like this: employer → payroll provider → bank payroll companies sat in the middle, moving billions of dollars in salary payments every year. deel realized all of that money was leaving its ecosystem for others banks to monetize. and if they could effectively become the bank in that last step they could capture a lot more of that value for themselves. instead of simply sending money to external banks, deel is now building its own banking stack with their own stablecoin and card issuance. over the last year, deel processed around $22 billion in salary payout volume. if they can convert even a small percentage of that money on their own neobank platform, it'll be a huge revenue stream for their business. i predict we'll see thousands of more companies follow this playbook over the next few years. every payment processor will launch a stablecoin to monetize float. every payroll provider will launch banking products to capture more of the value already moving through their platform. launching your own financial product has never been easier.
