Stripe is acquiring Privy. 🤯💛!! These last 3 years have been my absolute best, building alongside THE #1 team, and supporting 1,000+ customers as they've transformed their markets with crypto. I couldn't imagine a better partner to multiply Privy's impact. Let's get it 🦾🦾
Privy@privy_io

1/ Today, we're proud to announce that Stripe is acquiring Privy. We couldn’t be more excited. Privy will continue as an independent product – but now we’ll move faster, ship more, and serve you even better, so you can stay focused on your users.

Today, we’re proud to share that @Acrew co-led @catena_labs's $30M Series A alongside @a16z. Along with the new capital, Catena also announced today that it has filed its application for an OCC National Trust Bank charter. 🗽 The world's strongest team building the United States' first federally chartered AI-native bank for AI agents. Very few teams could credibly attempt something this ambitious. @psneville and @mattyven spent close to a decade building one of the most important pieces of financial infrastructure of our generation. Together at @circle , they helped invent USDC. Sean architected the protocol. Matt led engineering and helped drive the launch. They built a dollar that actually behaves like a dollar on the internet. They are two of the only people on the planet who deeply understand both stablecoin infrastructure and financial regulation at the level this requires. So, when we learned what they wanted to build next at Catena, we paid close attention. Here is the short version. AI agents are about to become real economic actors. Not just assistants helping humans work faster. Systems that hold funds, execute payments, manage workflows, and operate on behalf of businesses around the clock. But the financial system we have today assumes a human on the other end of every transaction. Someone logging in. Approving a payment. Authenticating an account. That assumption breaks completely at machine speed. We’ve been thinking a lot at Acrew about the convergence of two massive shifts: the dollar becoming internet-native via stablecoins, and the internet itself becoming agent-native via AI. Catena is building the financial institution for that world. A banking platform for agents. A control plane for the humans and businesses behind them. Verified identity, programmable payments, governance, compliance, and oversight designed from the ground up for AI-native transactions. Welcome to the crew, Catena! 🚀 🚀 🚀

Privy@privy_io

1/ @tempo introduces a new transaction type built for high-throughput stablecoin payments + programmable money flows. Privy now supports Tempo Transactions natively across our APIs and SDKs. This unlocks automated payment flows and smoother UX. Learn more.

Onboarding to GMX is now even easier. Sign in with email, an X or Discord account, or connect the self-custody wallet you already use. The new login layer powered by @Privy_io lets new users get started even faster, with no prior wallet setup required.

The future of software distribution needs frictionless onboarding. RepoRank + Privy means users can move from discovery → account creation → participation in seconds. No complicated setup. No barriers to entry. Just open-source markets at internet scale.

Capacitr
Capacitr@capacitr_xyz·
Today's Update: We now have a staging environment setup and we are working on the next iteration of our app. This app lets you onboard with @privy_io and creates an embedded wallet for you. We are actively going through onboarding to leverage the latest @stripe stablecoin on-ramp that will let you use any @link payment method to on-ramp fiat to crypto easily. When you on-board to this app, you select your interests and you land on a feed of recent news articles and beats associated to your interests and the relevant markets to those articles. Next we are going to be working on integrating @HyperliquidX builder codes and @Polymarket order book management and builder codes so that we can let you execute trades directly from the app. We will take a % fee on every trade and use that revenue to buy back $capactir token. We will handle all bridging and order execution for the user. x402 and @bankrbot skills in the works as well

Deel looking GOOD here!!!
Thierry Edde@thierryEdde44

Stablecoin payouts are live on @deel for employees. Over 5 years ago, I joined @deel as the first payments hire. I spent the first few years building out the fiat payment infrastructure that moves billions to workers across 150+ countries. The more I watched money move, the more I saw how broken cross border payments are. Stablecoins fix this. 10,000+ contractors already get paid in stablecoins on @deel. Today we’re extending this to full-time employees. This is how payroll should be.

@shawmakesmagic We're longtime Shaw fans and love pushing the space forward with you It's completely free to get started with Privy's TEE-secured wallet infra While it makes sense to self-host for full OSS, we're investing a TON in optimizing Privy for agentic devs x.com/privy_io/statu…
Privy@privy_io

1/ Privy is now live in @stripe Projects. You can now provision wallets alongside the rest of your stack, including: ✔️ databases with @supabase ✔️ hosting on @vercel ✔️ storage with @upstash and more, all from the CLI.

We replaced Privy with our own free open source option steward.fi The privy team have been very nice and supportive but ultimately their product cannot be integrated into open source projects without making every developer sign up, and it’s crazy expensive

Short message about @privy_io We have problems with them for 1 month, their support is awful and doesn't understand the root problem. We have to debug ourselves their own code. They take 1 week to answer and completely out. (And we are paying them 5k/month) For any app scaling to 1000+ users, with diversity of wallets used, I don't recommend at ALL Privy. We will shortly migrate off soon

NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THISSS
Emily Lai@emilylai

I've joined Ostium to lead marketing! There is a massive market opportunity ahead using blockchain rails to build better financial platforms for traders and investors globally I first met @kaledora in 2024 at Bangkok Devcon. In 2025, I visited the @ostium office where she looked me dead in the eyes and said she wanted to build a $10B company; I asked where can I send my (small) check. After a few months of learning more about the team and vision, I joined full time in March. Angel investor to employee arc activated What excited me most came down to the people, product, and vision: - The infrastructure was intentionally built to disrupt the opaque broker space and better serve digitally native traders around the world - Over 19m people trade CFDs, companies like IBKR are valued at $150B - market size is bigger than this channel - Passionate, intense co-founders that care a lot. War time mode CEO and CTO doesn't turn off. Yes, @contrarianmarco showed up in a suit in our first call - Getting to work with a cracked team of engineers, product developers, quants, and traders - supported by some of the best on the cap table - Top 20 revenue generating protocol in the whole industry - White glove customer service, a team focused on retention and users - @FlowTraderTM honestly needs to sleep more - Some more major product and partnership announcements in the works In the last two months I've been here, we've started running growth experiments across 8+ channels, brought on two more senior growth marketers, listed sixteen new assets, revamped the liquidity engine, and announced a data partnership with a major exchange. I'm having fun and there's a lot more work to do. Looking forward to this next chapter. If you're a user, trader, or growth marketer - dms are open

Two weeks ago I gave a talk at Consensus called "Stablecoins are Better Money." Here's the core of the argument: Stablecoins adjusted transaction volume reached $9T in 2025, up 87% YoY. They settle in seconds, cost a fraction of a cent to send cross-border, and work 24/7. But why don't they work like money yet? By almost every measurable dimension, they're an upgrade to how money moves! Because they're missing something we take for granted with traditional dollars: the fact that US customers don't *have* to care where they bank! The idea that a dollar is a dollar no matter who issued it or where it lives. Your Chase dollars and your BofA dollars feel identical. That took decades of infrastructure to achieve. Stablecoins don't have that yet. New issuers are launching all the time, and that's a good thing. More competition, more innovation, more use cases. The challenge is that each one operates on different chains with different standards, and we still treat dollar-to-dollar stablecoin movement like an FX trade. Payments should be about payments, not trading. This is not a new problem. Every form of money has gone through this. Banknotes, checks, cards. Each one fragmented, then someone built the infrastructure to make them interoperable. FDIC insurance, regulation, and clearinghouses gave traditional money its singleness. The GENIUS Act is solving for insurance and regulation. The clearinghouse is what's missing. I love the story of Five Bells Tavern. In the 1770s, London bank clerks were running across the city to settle each other's checks. After realizing this wasn't scalable, and as I can only imagine, a workout, they found a more better solution and started meeting at a pub instead. That informal coordination became the first clearinghouse. Stablecoins are hitting their Five Bells moment. More issuers are coming. We talk to them every day. Banks, fintechs, and other companies all have reasons to issue their stablecoin: security, compliance, economics, brand. This is the right direction, but it'll count for nothing if we lose the singleness of money. That's what we're building at @bettermoney_co. Issuers integrate once, reach a network of builders. Builders integrate once, access every supported stablecoin. One piece of the stack that let's people treat stablecoins like money. Stablecoins are better money.
