@ventry089 only real cash arbitrage here is csfloat -> skinport, but if you're doing significant volume you have to pay VAT if youre selling to EU people or if youre from EU

@uttam_singhk This is 2015 solution.

wow this is actually huge for neobanks 100k customers used to mean 100k wallets to init, monitor, sweep - imagine that infra cost now it is just 1 wallet + offline derivation

@kirillzzy @moonpay Message us at @swappedcom

.@moonpay is the worst on-ramp provider from all we’ve been trying to integrate them for 4+ months now and they just don’t respond - their support is just silent and they ignore all communication from us i don’t understand how you can make business like this

@DefiIgnas Try our product swapped connect which is like open banking for crypto @DefiIgnas

You've got my full attention: I'm scrolling X looking for something exciting to play with. But despite being open to try new things, nothing really lands.. Stablecoin adoption is great. But what am I supposed to do with it? Earning yield already. And signed up for like 10 crypto cards already. Another card needs to be 3x better now. RWAs trading is good but not what makes a DeFi degen salivate. Today's most exciting thing was Rabby's new Convert Dust feature. Fun to touch wallets again. Last bear market we had Hamster Racing. Can we do some more degen stuff again?

@perplexity_ai I see @Quartr_App in this artwork

Today we're announcing the Billion Dollar Build. An 8-week competition where teams will use Perplexity Computer to build a company with a path to $1B. Finalists have the opportunity to secure up to $1M in investment from the Perplexity Fund and up to $1M in Computer credits.

100M is a fun milestone and I’m proud of how far our team has come. But ultimately it’s a vanity as we aren’t where we need to or should be. The truth is we haven’t removed the beta tag from our logo for this reason. When we launched Kick, we rushed to market. We knew the opportunity was there and we went for it. But the reality is we shipped with weak plumbing, purchased tech and lacked experience in streaming. We’ve spent the better part of three years paying for that, quietly rebuilding from the ground up while trying to keep the lights on and the platform growing at the same time. That work is almost done. The foundation and team is more solid now. And that means we can finally start moving with the force and direction this platform deserves. We know our app sucks, we’ve got it to a point where it’s almost crash free but the experience is weak. We are taking our time to rebuild this fully native from the ground up and I have been personally involved in this project to ensure its success. Don’t worry we aren’t going to pull a twitch here and full tiktokify. On the creator side we ended all our Saudi level contracts that gave us short term growth and buzz at the expense of longevity and good content. We’ve vastly improved our unit economics while steadily growing viewership and it’s allowed us to invest in steady growth of our kick partners via clipping and KPP. We’ve removed and rejected thousands of accounts from KPP over the past few months for viewbotting and system abuse. We’ve deleted tens of millions of fake spam accounts. Our next step is to correct the system so real creators with real communities will not have to compete against bots or rely on staff favoritism for discovery. We’re actively rolling out our V1 algorithm (10% of users so far) that will make Kick the best long form streaming platform for authentic engagement and discovery. We have started rolling out ads but you may have not even noticed because we are doing our best to make it as non-obtrusive as possible. It’s our commitment to find ways to make this a sustainable business without extracting from our streamers and user experience. 100M users on a broken foundation was the hard part. For what comes next we’re ready and more motivated than ever. @StakeEddie and I have invested close to $1b into this because we are insanely passionate about this business and believe in the future of streaming. We’re determined to see this through 👊🏽

licensed casinos i.e Lithuania or any other country also are infamous for freezing funds, blocking wins and so on, so "real" license doesn't help much customer in the end either, probably in some rare scenarios only it works out for the player - many of online brands are more trustworthy than the landbased/local ones

agree. i can see casinos have little choice if they want to compete, but a lot of players still blindly trust the badge and get burnt once the license means nothing, everything gets pushed back to the casino what gets paid, what gets blocked, what gets ignored - all discretionary it’s a broken setup. some casinos push it hard and take the reputational hit, others manage it better, but the underlying issue is the same the casino decides everything

Anon operators behind ANJOUAN are making $20-30m a year 1,300 crypto casinos are licensed there - a tiny island most people have never heard of GAMDOM, RAINBET, BC​.GAME + many more their own government has said the entities issuing these licenses are fictitious / unauthorized bodies no dispute handling. no player protection. and when the ABC investigated, the people behind it started deleting their online presence within hours casinos pay $15–20k a year for a badge that has no real legal basis if this license means nothing… who protects players when casinos don’t pay?

@zachperret @Plaid @zachperret , do you proxy banks and logins or do you get OAuths to all the banks?

Which banks, data elements, or account types would you most like to see @Plaid add or improve?

@KevGCallahan @Uniblock @Alchemy @moonpay @NGC_Ventures @BlockchainFF @HustleFund @StellarOrg @Auros_global @ContributionCap @CoinSwitch Will check it out, hopefully we can use Uni instead of 5 different

We add between 5 and 18 milliseconds which is nominal on RPC calls that are >100 milliseconds, and API calls that are -1000 milliseconds. The magic is that you’ll always get the fastest provider. One moment it might be Provider A but after it might be Provider B. Since you always get the fastest you will ultimately save a lot of latency.

Uniblock has raised $5.2M ($7.5M to date) to unify APIs across 300+ blockchains and 55+ data providers into a single integration. Backed by SBI, @Alchemy, @moonpay, @NGC_Ventures, @blockchainFF, @hustlefund, @StellarOrg , @Auros_global, @ContributionCap, @CoinSwitch, @wavedigital_, @LucidDrakes, @v3v_ventures, & @AAF_Management.

@levelsio StripePal

All I hear from Stripe is stablecoin this that Very interesting but as a business I don't care I just want a payment card I can use to pay my server bills WITH the money from my customers that's inside Stripe Why do I have to take it out of Stripe as a payout at all? Why does it need to go to Wise who takes a cut and then I pay Hetzner for my server bill? Why not Stripe balance to Hetzner bill? And if you build that out long enough you can remove the expensive intermediary of payment cards (Visa/MC) too

@DefiIgnas Networks even like tempo have no chance being adopted except extreme push by stripe forcing - you have solana that does everything + better and distribution

$STABLE is a scam that only works because it rides the corpo slop/stablecoin payment narrative. And they pretend to be Tempo or Plasma so some degen traders might get confused on which token to buy. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. It raised $28M seed in July 2025 and trades at $2.65B FDV on a $562M MC and only goes up to trap and rekt shorters. And 79% of tokens haven't reached the market yet. Heavy VC and insider allocations. It shills payment but it's dead chain on arrival: - $41K TVL. Not $41M. Once it had $100M but then one address withdrew it all lol - $0 DEX volume in 24h. Nobody is trading anything. - 0.1 TPS. - 0.0% network utilization. Token is also useless. - Network fees are paid in USDT. Not $STABLE. - STABLE has no fee capture, no burn, no value accrual from chain activity. Well, obviously, it has no revenue. Even if the chain got adoption, token holders wouldn't benefit. So what does $STABLE do? Staking and governance. Governance over what exactly? A chain with $41K in TVL lol Early CEO already quit replaced by rent-a-ceo guy. This cycle crypto scams were so bad that CT lets this one slip by. Normally, FUD posts would get many negative comments. Like $XRP. But XRP at least has a community. This one has nothing. Pure garbage.

@MilkRoad Pretty accurate, Coinbase’s developer is extremely bad - 0 accurate responses, no live support at all.

At Coinbase: 50%+ of code written by AI. 60% of support tickets answered by AI. But the really wild part - AI agents are now transacting with stablecoins. "AI agents can't go open a bank account... but an AI agent can absolutely have a stablecoin wallet."

@CoinbasePltfrm @CoinbasePltfrm our OAuth key got disabled - is it possible to talk to someone from CDP team?

We rebuilt Coinbase’s payout infrastructure to process 1B+ payout transactions annually. Our async framework delivers: - Decoupled Accrual from Distribution - Framework-level double-entry accounting - Anomaly detection before money moves Here’s how we created faster, safer infrastructure: coinbase.com/blog/scaling-c…

@benjitaylor How and what do you do to decide what to fix first?

First thing on the agenda: improve everything

@DefiIgnas Solana alrdy murdered tron

@mert Definetly @swappedcom best fees, 24:7 support and so on - thats why the biggest projects use it

what is your favorite crypto onramp/offramp?
