Stablecoins in 2025 = early cloud computing? ☁️ BVNK's @chrisharmse89 discusses key industry shifts during our Pioneering Payments event earlier this month.

“When we succeed with all of this, people will think of stablecoins as programmable or self-driving dollars. They won’t think of them as USD-ABCDX... ”💡 @lightspark's @ccatalini paints a picture of where we’re headed during BVNK's Pioneering Payments event.

RT @BVNKFinance: “Businesses and fintechs should think about stablecoins as a complimentary payment rail to their existing stack” 🤝 BVNK’…

From SF to LV to NYC, the BVNK team is out meeting US customers and partners this month to talk #stablecoin payments. @HaunVentures' @diogomonica said it best at #PioneeringPaymentsSF last week: “The excitement of entrepreneurs is palpable... It really feels like there's been a

We're excited to be joined by @yellowcard_app Co-Founder & CEO @chrismaurice for #CurrencyLIVE on March 27. We'll be discussing real world applications for stablecoins & the highs and lows of building a payments business in Africa. Watch live on X, or join on Linkedin:

A new era for stablecoins in the US? 🇺🇸 New federal regulation in 2025 looks increasingly likely, but businesses must still be prepared to navigate state-level differences. Whether you need a license can boil down to the type of payment, as well as where the sender, recipient

The more you dive into them, the more you understand blockchains are not native payment platforms. Making blockchain work for payments means thinking through and automating things like: - gas fees - sweeping - reconciliation @staystablexyz @dr3wrogers @zdubs33

What if you could orchestrate the stablecoin sandwich? 🥪🎶 Stablecoins deliver on speed, but most stablecoin transactions today still start and end with fiat. Now, imagine if that could be automated with a single orchestration layer. A true replacement for traditional global

Business use cases for crypto are changing. 2020: Institutional custody, low frequency, high volume money movement. 2022: Experimentation: from custody to NFTs 2024: Stablecoin payments are the dominant use case. Layer1's @bstoni_eth talks to @dr3wrogers at @staystablexyz

If you were designing stablecoin payments infrastructure from scratch in 2025, what would it look like? This is what we asked ourselves at @BVNKFinance as we scaled our operations. Some of the challenges we tackled in this thread 👇

Happy holidays from the Layer1 and @BVNKFinance team. Thank you for sharing our journey in 2024. We wish you a happy, restful festive season 🎄

Stablecoin juggernaut (a pod sponsor 🔥) @BVNKFinance announced their $50M Series B round today led by Haun Ventures and Coinbase Ventures Yesterday, our host @dr3wrogers sat down with managing director Johannes Kaske to discuss BVNK's brand new stablecoin platform,

I’ve written more about these, and why I’m convinced that @layer1payments is the best self-custody #stablecoin infrastructure for payment use cases – and payment operators  – in my latest blog: bit.ly/41yOrGC

We upgraded our infrastructure as as we scaled @BVNKFinance to $8bn+ annualized volume, with: → Flexible, scalable accounting model → Automated gas/fee management & liquidity pooling → Smart on-chain transaction monitoring Now these features are in @layer1payments.

Plus, you need off-chain accounting logic to help you effectively map blockchain addresses to customer accounts & work in the most efficient way (eg avoid network fees where you can). I cover the differences – and how we're building @layer1payments here: bit.ly/4fUREoe

Technical vs regulated #cryptocustody: what's the difference? Wallet solutions today manage read/write access to blockchains to receive and send digital assets. If you’re doing it for yourself, you’re good to go ✅. If for others, you’ll also need a compliance engine

Don’t miss #CurrencyLIVE🎙️ today with @chrisharmse89 and @circle's @paddi_hansen With just 1 month until MiCA, they’ll be asking: is Europe ready? Plus, they’ll go deep on the next big use case for stablecoins: payouts. Streaming here on X (@BVNKFinance) + Linkedin (link in
