90% of Brazil's population has access to stablecoins today. Most of them don't even know it. That's the reality Sthefano Batista, Head of LATAM BD at @Figment_io, points to when describing how far stablecoin distribution has come in Latin America. The infrastructure is already there, embedded inside the apps people use every day. The question is not about access, it's about awareness, trust, and what happens when people start putting that access to work. That shift, and what it means for the future of financial services across the region, is exactly what OpenTrade's new stablecoin report, “The Stablecoin Surge: Unlocking Growth Across Latin America,” explores. We spoke to founders and operators across Latin America who are building on these rails right now. Link to the full report in comments 👇

@Amanda_S_Wick @consensus2026 This is horrific Amanda. Well done for drawing attention to it - totally unacceptable and sad that this still happens in the crypto industry!

I don’t know what’s worse: sponsors and others doubling down on holding a @consensus2026 “official event” at a strip club, or the number of women-hating-women-for-clout-chasing on CT. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I expect it from crypto bro’s; but a woman defending this as a “professional event”? 🤯😢

I love being able to participate on panels at Bitcoin events but this particular one was absolutely awesome as I was joined by Joe Hall, the lawyer who successfully sued the SEC for Grayscale and forced through Bitcoin ETFs in America. An act that definitely moved recognition, access and adoption of Bitcoin forward! What a legend.

⚡ INSIGHT: 15 years ago, a man paid 10,000 $BTC for 2 pizzas from Papa John's. Today, that $BTC is worth 7.5X the entire franchise.

Since every BBC channel is being interrupted by Glastonbury this weekend, all of my social media channels will be interrupted by pictures* from Glastonbury too. * Obviously , these will be pictures from Glastonbury 40 years ago when it was cool.
