"We're in that late nineties period where online shopping was one percent and stablecoins are one percent." @raagulanpathy of @KASTxyz on the @TokenizedPod with @sytaylor and @rangoldi. Listen wherever you get your podcasts: fblks.co/tokenized-stablecoi…

.@LukeTuttle2049 reframes the stablecoin conversation: Remittance can be summed up in one word. Trust. There are few things more intimate than handing someone a stack of money and asking them to send it somewhere for you. Everything else, speed, cost, features, comes after that. @paymentsjournal

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 - checkout.com/newsroom/checko…

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 👇

The industry didn’t stop underestimating stablecoins because the tech changed. It stopped because the unlocks became impossible to ignore 🔓 @LukeTuttle2049 and @RanGoldi discuss on recent @paymentsjournal webinar with @FireblocksHQ and @JavelinStrategy.

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.

It’s impressive what @FireblocksHQ has built, now one of the cornerstone enterprise infrastructure of our industry. Had a great time riffing on Payfi, solana, making crypto useful at Spark 24 with Michael and @rangoldi.

At #Money2020, Fireblocks’ @rangoldi joined @Visa and @Worldpay_Global to discuss stablecoin momentum: "We think we are reaching an inflection point with stablecoins and blockchain payments. Monthly stablecoin volumes from our payments customers have grown 10x in recent months."

🚨 Tomorrow! Join @rangoldi (Fireblocks) and @nikola_plecas (@Visa) in a @pymnts webinar hosted by John Gaffney. We’ll explore Visa’s report on stablecoins settling $2.6 trillion in H1 2024 and how blockchain payments are shaping the future with programmability, fast settlement, and interoperability.
