🙏 Honored that @phantom was chosen for the 2026 Forbes Fintech 50 list! This is a direct reflection of the insane team we've built. I'm humbled that I get to work with this group of incredibly kind and talented folks who are so dedicated to building the best consumer crypto product in the world. I'm also proud to be representing crypto in the US. There has never been a better time to build crypto company in the US and we're proud to be at the forefront of that moment. If you want to be part of it too, we're hiring across the board - come build with us!
