@tryfomo It's absolutely crazy how expensive these CEXs are, but in crypto people haven't really cared.
This won't work for RWAs onchain

Proving humanness is one of the most problems of our time.
Excited to see what @alexblania and team are cooking up next!

a16z's Ben Horowitz and Erik Torenberg speak with Alex Blania, co-founder and CEO of Tools for Humanity, to cover deepfakes, proof of human, what AI means for identity, and more. They cover the technical challenge of proving human uniqueness at scale using iris biometrics, the privacy architecture behind World ID, why platforms from social networks to dating apps to video conferencing will soon require proof of human verification, and more. Introduction Three big ideas people were interested in The Orb verification piece Social media bots: Psyops and propaganda We had proof of personhood for the longest time US go-to-market Levels of verification @alexblania @tfh_technology @bhorowitz @eriktorenberg

@ProofOfEli @mert Doesn't need to by ZK! Regulated providers always need to know the real user in case authorities ask. You can store user data either encrypted on backend (only unencryptable via user) or on a user's own device and then share selectively.

@michorenstein @mert ZK KYC sounds like a thing, but the regulations may be the blocker

If you open a Chinese app for the first time, you’ll probably think it’s badly designed.
Too many icons and features. Everything crammed onto one screen.
If you grew up on Western apps, your instinct is immediate: this is cluttered.
But it works.
In the U.S., we’ve been trained to associate good UX with minimalism. In China, density often signals value.
Open WeChat or Alipay, and it feels overwhelming at first. Information-heavy, feature-packed.
But to local users, that density means capability. It says: everything you might need is already here in front of you.
If you enter a new market assuming your design taste equals good UX, you’ll misread the signal.
Good design is contextual.

Users don’t care if their money is in a bank database or on a blockchain
It’s all infrastructure they’ll never think about unless it fails
They care if the app is better
The Rollup@therollupco
Privy’s @debsoon says users do not care what chain their stablecoins are on: "Today, Privy has over 120 million accounts." "We power Krakens Defi product, which I think at this point has over $150 million in deposits. That's like a really interesting setup where they have a centralized exchange, but then users able to seamlessly transfer their balances from the kraken in centralized exchange account wallet into a Privy, non custodial wallet, which then gives them access to all of these defi yield and benefits." "At the end of the day, people do not care what chain their stablecoins are on. They just want to know they have dollar access and that it is usable and spendable wherever they want to use it."

We mapped the full tokenization stack.
Standards, platforms, $620M+ in RWA collateral, and why T-bills are out, and gold is in.
Onchain allocators are rotating on macro.
A new report with @CredoraNetwork shows what’s actually happening in the RWA stack in 2026 🧵

@AriPingle Local stablecoins also need yield
Users expect bond-rate returns locally, and this year high rates + USD underperformance have made holding local currencies competitive
No yield = no reason to hold = less revenue for issuers
English
USD stablecoins are for yield.
Local currency stablecoins are for payments.
The next generation does both.

Beyond dollarization? Visa and Dune report finds non-USD stablecoins increasingly being used as money theblock.co/post/395038/be…
English
Onchain currencies are even more fragmented than crypto assets. No single chain clears 30% of transfers.
Global apps must be cross-chain.
Dune | We Are Hiring!@Dune
New research with @Visa: "Beyond Dollarization" Everyone tracks USD stablecoin supply at $300B. Almost nobody is tracking what's happening in local currencies. We partnered with Visa to go deeper: → Non-USD stablecoin supply grew 3x (outpacing overall stablecoins supply) → Holder addresses: 40K → 1.2M (30x) → Transfer volume: $600M → $10B/mo (16x) → ~80% is payments and treasury flows, not DeFi → Weekend drops that mirror payroll cycles

The destigmatization and mainstreaming of sports betting is so damaging to the American male.
We’ll look back on the 2020s and wonder how we so easily got to this point without immense pushback

2.5 years ago @m0 decided to revolutionise digital money rails.
We did not join the stablecoin frenzy, we were the stablecoin frenzy.
So far, we raised $100m to make this real.
Welcome @polychain and @RibbitCap - our next years will be worth a lifetime.
M0@m0
We are thrilled to announce M0’s $40M series B round from @polychain, @RibbitCap and @endeavor_global’s Catalyst Fund. M0 is building the universal stablecoin platform.
