@BlairWiley @TetraDigitalGrp @Wealthsimple @VisaCA Hi Blair, when will CADD be available thru Wealthsimple?

2 coming-of-age moments for stablecoins in 🇨🇦: our partner @TetraDigitalGrp launched CADD, unlocking 24/7 CAD payments, and @Wealthsimple + @VisaCA settled Canada’s first credit card payments with stables. We’re building serious, governed, sovereign infrastructure for the future.

@ycombinator Smart. Thanks for taking all the feedback and changing course. Great decision that will increase the impact of @ycombinator and your entire founder network.

After hearing feedback from Canadian founders in our network, we’ve decided to add Canada back to our list of accepted countries of incorporation. Going forward, YC will once again invest in US, Canada, Cayman, and Singapore corporations. ycombinator.com/blog/adding-ca…

The industry has made it clear: effective blockchain policy must incentivize decentralization. DRC and 50 other leading stakeholders in the crypto industry just delivered a joint letter to @SpeakerJohnson, @RepJeffries, @LeaderJohnThune, and @SenSchumer in support of the CLARITY Act’s robust, control-based decentralization test for digital assets. This is the largest coalition of organizations in agreement on a particular test for decentralization. The CLARITY Act establishes a much-needed standard for evaluating when a digital asset has met a threshold to justify its transition from security to commodity — an essential step for effective market structure legislation. We look forward to engaging further to ensure that blockchain legislation supports decentralization, responsible innovation, and consumer protection to further establish U.S. leadership in blockchain technology. Want to add your voice? DM us to join the coalition in support of decentralization.

Aside from the general issues about Trump‘s tariff and his economic nationalism strategy, today’s actions against Canada and Mexico are inexplicable and dangerous. 1/8

@ericrichy @circle Let’s be specific - Circle agreed that USDC is a security. That’s their prerogative, I suppose. But not reflective of the appropriate outcome for stablecoins generally. There are lots of other options out there.

The good - USDC can continue to be traded on 🇨🇦 crypto trading platforms The bad - @circle agreed that stablecoins = a security in Canada We need a prudential framework as this interim approach does not work and out of step from rest of the world (see Circle undertaking w CSA)

@jerallaire There are no stablecoin rules in Canada. Circle just agreed that USDC is either a security or derivative in Canada - a position not taken anywhere else in the world. A real head scratcher.

Circle becomes the first stablecoin issuer to comply with the new listing and markets rules for the Canadian crypto market. USDC is the first and only major dollar stablecoin that is compliant with new regulations in Canada. circle.com/pressroom/circ…

Stablecoins are room-temperature superconductors for financial services. Thanks to stablecoins, businesses around the world will benefit from significant speed, coverage, and cost improvements in the coming years. Stripe is going to build the world’s best stablecoin infrastructure, and, to that end, we are delighted to welcome @stablecoin to @stripe.

@OSC_News @CIRO_OCRI @Wealthsimple @coinbase It was a great conversation! Thanks for including me.

With the #WNBADraft this week, and the incredible talent and star power of the top picks, it’s worth rewatching this #Wealthsimple spot from 5+ years ago. Sadly very little has changed. youtu.be/It5WjS380e0?si… #investinchange

Readers know that #TLDR is a WAY better Business, News, and Tech newsletter than CNN, The Hustle, and Scott Galloway...

Big flex, @wealthsimple is 2nd place in #Webbys People’s Voice. RT + VOTE: wbby.co/40274N

Bought fancy chocolate. Earned crypto. @Wealthsimple is the best.

You can call yourself as "native" as you want, but you were still the second platform to launch regulated staking 😘

And earn cash, stock or crypto rewards for doing so!!
