Everything looks bullish for crypto cards. • $1.8B volume in Q1 2026 • ~$18B annualized spend • New issuers scaling fast But crypto cards are just a transitional tool. Not the destination.

A $292M exploit just hit crypto, but things didn't go spiraling like before. • Institutions still building • Payments still flowing • Stablecoins still scaling The industry is getting efficient in risk handling. Here are other updates from crypto this week 👇🧵



The AI products worth watching are the ones that won't hit an infrastructure ceiling. On April 19, we're hosting a curated, invite-only poolside brunch in Bangalore for founders building at the AI × Web3 intersection, in partnership with @tether. Apply to join 👇


Today @stripe, @visa and @ZodiaCustody by Standard Chartered have joined as validators on Tempo. These organizations collectively process trillions of dollars in payments every year across nearly every country in the world. As some of the largest institutions in global payments, they maintain infrastructure at massive scale and have deep experience with the reliability and uptime standards that payments demand, bringing that same technical excellence to validate the Tempo network. We'll continue expanding the validator set with additional partners on our path to permissionless validation.

x402 is a mind virus that makes you angry at how the world got so accustomed to donating 30c + 3.5% per tx to credit cards. Good news is you’re only reminded of it every swipe, tap, and insert.


AI agents paying for things on their own is the new norm! Here's a quick demo of agentic payments using the x402 standard. Flow is like this: - Built a simple Emoji API - It returns a 402 payment required to the agent - The agent completes the payment via @craydotpro - A emoji is returned on success I used moltpe to spin up the agent wallet (multi-chain, non-custodial option available too) & funded it with USDC on @tempo. The infra for autonomous AI economies is already here, this is just a small glimpse of what's possible. who else is ready to let agents spend their own money?
