“There’s $900 trillion of assets. We're basically at $300 billion we’ve got a long way to go" Visa and Mastercard alone = trillions in value and they’re just one layer of the stack @chadcascarilla shares the total addressable market for Paxos, tokenization and crypto payments

Very bullish on this team !
3 Dec 2025
We’ve raised 17 million led by @PanteraCapital, with participation from @Sequoia and others. Fin enables users and businesses to move millions of dollars instantly - whether to other Fin users, directly into bank accounts, or across crypto rails. If banks and payment products could be rebuilt from the ground up today, they would look like Fin.

Officially kicked off our stablecoin journey. Starting with our own CORP$™️ stablecoin service that provides earnings credits and designed for intercompany payments (24/7, instant, free). See PR here >> prnewswire.com/news-releases… Natively built into Trovata's UX, corp finance & treasury teams can make payments 24/7 with instant settlement for free – all within the context of your existing workflows for corporate security, compliance, and governance. Big thanks to the @Paxos team: @nickrobnett @whessert @chadcascarilla, along with Advisor Paul Bances.

Sad to see banking groups pushing to expand #GENIUSAct yield restrictions from issuers to all intermediaries. It will thwart healthy competition in #Payments, reduce #consumer options w/out clear safety rationale, & stifle #digitalfinance #innovation. Seems designed to protect traditional banking interests rather than address genuine regulatory concerns. It’s not way #FreeMarkets #capitalism is supposed to work. I encourage leaders in Congress to stand firm for competitive #Markets that benefit consumers.

. @PayPal @krakenfx And more Paxos partners coming...
11 Sep 2025
Making it easier for anyone to access @HyperliquidX. @krakenfx has agreed to list Paxos-issued USDH (w/ free USD on/off ramps) HYPE from day 1. Issuance gets you a stablecoin. Distribution gets you adoption. *Pending approval following Kraken’s standard listing diligence process

Can you share what entity you are issuing out of? What regulator? Will this be the first public, open stablecoin you issue?
With all the discourse about licenses and regulation, we wanted to make one thing clear. All Bridge issued assets, including USDH, will be available around the globe day one and will be GENIUS ready. We view compliance, not only in the US but around the world, as core to our business and an area that we will continuously invest in. Licenses are not a differentiator, they are foundational infrastructure and tablestakes for any issuer. Product is a differentiator.

GENIUS and MICA compliant is one. I have not seen a clear plan from @stripe on how they will make USDH compliant in either US or EU (markets that are almost half of global GDP). Is this important to HL community?

Replying to @mdudas @fiege_max
What advantages do you see in using Paxos for issuing vs. other stablecoin/backing solutions?

Personally also endorsing @Paxos . - Previously managed $25B without any exploits or hacks. Competent. - Most experienced and ready infrastructure by far. US, EU, Asia, Middle east. Have compliance & on/off ramps ready for all. - PayPal, Venmo and more all ready to onboard HYPE for millions of global users. - No conflicts of interest. Stripe has their own L1 to worry about. BlackRock has many investments in other chains and projects when it comes to Native. Ethena has their own stables and partnership's with Binance etc. - BlackRock doesn't sound "native" at all. It's the most anti-crypto and anti-HL ethos I can think of. - Paxos is the easiest for institutions to trust with billions. All things considered, Paxos is the obvious choice for me. Sky seemed a very good DeFi-only option. I believe Native and Ethena have other allegiances rather than just being the best purely for HL & HYPE and can cause problems or "extract" from the eco long term. This is my personal opinion. Hyperliquid.

📢 Purrposeful x HyBridge x PiP will be endorsing Paxos in the upcoming USDH governance vote We recognize the tremendous quality of submitted proposals but after careful consideration, our decision centers on these key factors: ✅ Compliance and credible neutrality ✅ Unmatched network effects ✅ Strong HL alignment (required AF contribution) ✅ Own infrastructure and track record of delivering at scale, globally ✅ Ambition and clear vision to scale USDH to $1B, $10B, and $100B I’m excited to see the original Looped Collective team (now part of Paxos) cook with full support of a global leader in stable coin issuance. I’ve worked with them since day 1 of EVM and I have confidence in them helping shape roadmaps and future products with strong HL DNA. Builder codes and HIP-3 at scale are incredibly exciting. On a personal note, this is my 9th year in crypto, and I've rarely seen this level of passion and thoughtful debate around governance. Our ecosystem truly is special. Regardless of the vote outcome, I hope all teams and the community maintain this energy, continue building and working together. We have everything needed to propel Hyperliquid 100x forward. If you align with our analysis, consider delegating to Purrposeful x HyBridge x PiP before Sep 14. Your vote matters! Hyperliquid
