Chainlink co-founder @SergeyNazarov joins @zakfolkman, @ZachWitkoff & @EricTrump at 1:30 PM ET to discuss how @worldlibertyfi’s USD1 is setting the stablecoin benchmark. Moderated by @IOHK_Charles, this is the panel on tokenized dollars you don’t want to miss. Show up to the main stage early at #Consensus2025 you don’t want to miss this one.

Investing in @SquadsProtocol We’re thrilled to announce our strategic investment in Squads. Programmable money is one of the most promising products enabled by crypto. Blockchains turn money into a dynamic, internet-native tool that can move globally, instantly, and under precise, programmable rules. Programmable money opens an endless set of possibilities for payments and money management. Automated payroll, conditional escrow, and bespoke treasury management strategies are just a few of the many tangible examples that exist today. Beyond today’s use cases, the potential for programmable money is vast – it’s the foundation for a new, global financial layer that is fast, automated, and globally accessible to anyone on the internet. It’s never been a better time to build programmable money applications. Stablecoin adoption continues to grow rapidly, with enterprise and remittance use cases leading the charge. As of April 2025, stablecoins processed $37 trillion of annual transaction volume. Simultaneously, crypto custody infrastructure is becoming increasingly secure and easy to use, managing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of value. Squads has been pushing the frontier of programmable money since inception. I first met @SimkinStepan, CEO and co-founder of Squads, in 2022 as Squads was just getting started. Fast forward three years to today, and they boast almost every major Solana project as a customer, help secure over $10 billion of assets, and have processed over $3 billion in stablecoin transfers. Almost every one of their customers I’ve spoken with considers Squads a “must have”. Squads offers three distinct products all powered by Squads Protocol: Squads Multisig, a multi-sig wallet that enables teams to manage onchain funds and execute program upgrades. Fuse, a consumer wallet that provides access to a USD financial account, complete with yield, payments, and card functionality out of the box. Importantly, anyone around the world can access this product, not just U.S. residents. Altitude, a financial account for business that offers any business around the world a USD financial account with out of the box yield, payments, and soon, corporate cards. What’s most impressive about Squads is how they balance pushing the frontier with extremely high security standards. Squads Protocol takes security so seriously that they were the first program on Solana to be formally verified. Squads’ robust security posture is the reason why almost every Solana project and more than $10 billion of assets remain on Squads Protocol today. Simultaneously, Squads constantly pushes the frontier of programmable money. This mentality is what drove the team to build Fuse and Altitude, each for a different audience. This team is relentless in their mission to enable programmable money, and we’re excited to support them in their next chapter.

As noted in @lemonapp_ar's State of the Crypto Industry 2024 report, Latin America has become a global powerhouse for crypto adoption, with the region seeing a 42% year over year growth in cryptocurrency value received in 2024, reaching over $415 billion and forming 9.1% of global crypto volume. This regional growth is fuelled by local demand for decentralised financial services coupled with innovation that establishes access to blockchain technology. Among the countries leading this charge is Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela, each embracing crypto in unique ways to combat the challenges posed by traditional financial systems. In particular, Argentina has emerged as the standout leader in Latin America, achieving a remarkable $91.1 billion in crypto value received in 2024, a 6.7% increase from the previous year. Despite having just a fifth of Brazil’s population, and just over a third of Mexico’s, Argentina has more than doubled its crypto user base, with a surge in demand for both stablecoins and Bitcoin as individuals seek alternative financial solutions amidst economic uncertainty. Bitcoin’s price increase of 122% throughout the year aided in strengthening users’ confidence in it as a digital store of value, whilst stablecoins remained a safe haven against the country’s annual inflation rate of 118%, forming 64% of purchase volumes on Lemon. The growth in Argentina’s crypto market is supported by local players that are making it easier for individuals to engage with digital assets. @belo_app, the third largest exchange in Latin America, now serves over 4 million users, offering access to a variety of crypto services. @buenbit, a major exchange and payment platform operating across the region supports close to a million users and has seen significant growth in the adoption of stablecoin-based financial products. Similarly @littioco, a large Colombian fintech, has grown its user base to over 1 million, providing seamless access to stablecoin yield products. These platforms are vital to driving mainstream adoption, giving millions in Argentina and across the region unprecedented access to USD and EUR accounts and the ability to earn passive savings in stablecoins whilst abstracting away all potential complexity associated with the use blockchain technology. As the demand for secure, stable yield generating solutions continues to grow, OpenTrade is well positioned to cater to this demand with its RWA-backed stablecoin yield infrastructure, gaining significant traction among these exchanges, neobanks, and fintechs in Latin America.

crypto introduces better money technology, full stop, wherein the many industrial layers of intermediaries wound up around dollars (SWIFT, ACH, Western Union, etc) can be flattened into a single rail (OFT) that can move any type of asset at the speed of finality of a blockchain. examples from today: 1.2M in sUSDa moved for $0.16 2M USDT0 moved for $1.25 177K USDe moved for $0.66

it’s interesting that we seem to have more clarity over what the near future of AI looks like vs crypto despite all the exponential progress, the next few leaps in AI seem known - agents, tool use, reasoning, automated ML research, etc but with crypto, everything seems more uncertain will we all use solana? or a different L2 for every app? will the whole internet be onchain? or just finance? will btc be the reserve currency of crypto? or a usd backed stablecoin? what apps will people use? what is crypto even good for outside payments and speculation? so many questions and for now, all we have are theories it’s just seems weird that we don’t have better research or concrete predictions or ai-2027 style stories about what the near crypto future will look like AI is a faster moving, more consequential and disorienting technology, yet we *still* seem have a better idea of what it’s future holds than our beloved internet money curious if anyone has theories on why this is the case
