Been thinking about this for a while. What if you created a stablecoin that was pegged to $1 but instead of inefficiently locking up loads of capital, you back it with a second token I know it sounds kinda risky but if it drops below a dollar, people can burn the other token and redeem it for the stablecoin. If it goes above a dollar, they can just sell the stablecoin and redeem it for the other token. I feel like this might work if it captures a flywheel and builds up a sufficient ecosystem to support the daily buying and selling pressure + arbs. What am i missing here?

Codex FX is live five years ago, I moved into a hacker house in LA to work on scaling with vitalik It became clear to me by ’22 that we all had our heads in the sand we didn’t need more or fancier blockspace, we needed to make moving between a unit of fiat and stables truly frictionless we spent the last two years obsessing over this problem. Codex FX is the product of years of blood and sweat Codex FX deletes the border between fiat and crypto. wholesale rates. sub 30-minute settlement. 24/7. emerging and frontier currencies that legacy providers can’t handle fiat to stables, stables to fiat, stables to stables anything to anything book a demo with us to learn how we can help your PSP, fintech, or business make more money

Great to see leadership like this from Chair Selig at a time when it’s sorely needed. The Arizona AG action today was, without reasonable debate, a truly disgusting and inappropriate over reach.
Mike Selig@ChairmanSelig

The Arizona Attorney General today filed criminal charges against one of our registered exchanges related to prediction markets. This is a jurisdictional dispute and entirely inappropriate as a criminal prosecution. The @CFTC is watching this closely and evaluating its options.

Yesterday at Stripe Commons, we talked tokenization with @PaulFrambot , @cmoyall , and @HadickM . The takeaways: 1/ The Real-World Shift: Massive momentum moving from memes to RWA and stablecoins. 2/The Hegemony Question: Will incumbents hold their lock-in from the watershed 2016 PayPal/Visa/Mastercard deals, or will stablecoins finally disrupt it? 3/ Stripe x Blockchain: Bridge and Privy are flying. Proud to partner with @Tempo via $YLDS for atomic settlement. 4/The Wifi: To the attendee with the "fun" personal network name: I see you. 😊

@JonAguiar @CFTC Because it’s a stupid question which implies you’re acting in bad faith or don’t understand the basics of how these markets work or the argument the cftc is making.

@DustinGouker It is disgusting. You don’t file criminal charges because you are having a jurisdictional dispute and want to collect taxes. Especially when it’s because a single rogue AG has political ambitions. I don’t know about you, but I have a higher bar for professional ethics.

@DustinGouker They are actively issuing what is known to be fraudulent charges because the AG has political ambitions. It’s a farce. Truly reprehensible stuff for self gain.

This continues to be a lie. You offered roughly the same Iran linked contracts as polymarket. People would take you more seriously if the entire exec team and all the paid influencers stopped lying at every possible chance. It’s an evolving market and product. Both of you are learning and changing and fixing as you go. That’s fine to say. But the lack of integrity from the entire organization is frankly at such outrageous levels for years now it’s really hard to see how it’s anything but a core to your ethos. Be better.

Hard to know. They folded it into their Security Solutions business in their C&I division. Security Solutions is a ~$5bn business, but includes Ekata, Recorded Future and Ciphertrace. I assume CipherTrace is the smallest of those three but how big it is is impossible to know. Net net probably a mixed bag.

Last year was the year stablecoins went mainstream, this year is the year we are seeing actual adoption across both the most innovative and the largest companies in the world. Congrats @jessehs and team.

🚨 MASSIVE: Mastercard just acquired BVNK for $1.8B. This one hits different. --- BVNK had a rough road. Previous acqusitions that fell through. Competing against massive companies. But they made it. Now they're the stablecoin infrastructure layer inside the world's second-largest card network. 130+ countries. Chain-agnostic. Compliance bundled. --- Mastercard wants to own middleware between fiat and crypto rails. Every bank, neobank, and fintech that plugs into Mastercard now gets stablecoin orchestration as a feature — not a separate product to build. Or a new vendor or supplier. Bundling is powerful. --- Mastercard's CPO said something you should write interesting: "We expect most financial institutions will in time provide digital currency services." Most. Financial. Institutions. We're still very early. --- Every Bank is currently shopping for vendors and partners to get into this space. For orchestration it has been a three horse race - Bridge - BVNK - ZeroHash --- Bridge had a larger parent in Stripe who could help with distribution. ZeroHash had many deep tradfi partners and investors. BVNK was punching above its weight class and hanging in. Now it can get way more distribution. --- What's interesting here is... Who's the right seller of this? Stripe is a PSP Mastercard is a network But they both do lots of other things. --- I guess we'll find out in time. The deeper we get intro crypto winter, the brighter the sun shines on Stablecoins and tokenization Congrats BVNK

Kalshi has KYC and works with the CFTC to make rules against insider trading, manipulation, and other bad behavior. The CFTC just came with guidance around working with the exchanges about not listing markets that are more susceptible to bad actors manipulating the outcome, or threatening individuals. Kalshi has to comply with these regulations. The CFTC has banned Polymarket, because Polymarket is unwilling to comply with CFTC regulations. I know that being CFTC-regulated isn’t a fix all, but it’s 100% better than what Polymarket is doing, which is nothing. Also, and I don’t mean to generalize too much, but Polymarket, in my opinion, has a disproportionate share of the bad faith actors. There is no KYC, and VPN use to skirt Polymarket’s terms is rampant. There are many known scams in the UMA process. I think you’ve complained about Planet K, but I think you would agree that’s due to mistakes made by the Kalshi team, not traders being scammers. I just think we need to call a spade a spade. This stuff is a Polymarket problem, and I’m tired of Polymarket being lumped in with Kalshi because Polymarket is flying way to close to the sun, and you have lawmakers who want to shut it all down because of Polymarket’s decisions. I love Shayne, but as the prediction markets scale and become bigger, you have to comply with rules and regulations. It’s the only way to keep prediction markets safe and legal

I truly want Kalshi, Polymarket, and other prediction markets all to succeed, but when lawmakers are threatening to curb prediction markets for all government action, it’s critical to point out that this is a Polymarket problem (which isn’t legal in the US), not a Kalshi one
Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT

We need to end prediction markets for government action. NOW. This bone chilling story about a reporter’s life threatened bc he simply reported on Iran missile strikes: “After you make us lose $900,000 we will invest no less than that to finish you.” timesofisrael.com/gamblers-tryin…
