@jevgenijs @TokenizedPod The answer is "yes" 😉

Great question on the @TokenizedPod 😂 “I've been trying to deduce for the past three to five years now, if Airwallex and the folks from Wise and others were just basically decrying crypto because their core business works and crypto and stablecoins are competitive to that. And if under the hood, they have a Skunkworks group that's secretly working on crypto and stablecoins, and they're going to come out with this killer platform once it's actually legalized, right? I'll allow how Jamie does it at JPM where he, you know, he decries Bitcoin, but they have a thousand person org building blockchain infrastructure, and it works really, really well, right?” From Tokenized: Stripe Acquire Privy & Circle IPO Frenzy Ft.

@psvinodh @jevgenijs There's still Amazon Pay in India, trying to compete with the other UPI wallets

@jevgenijs They also had merchant cash advance and faster payouts for merchants. Looks like they wound those down as well.

The more I learn about Mercado Libre $MELI, the more I ask myself, “Why didn’t Amazon $AMZN build a Fintech arm?!” It seems like a natural evolution.

@Samer_Saab Yup

@NikMilanovic Fun fact, that was Bridge's original name too

in the past 2 months i've been pitched by 4 different startups called Stablepay (though 1 was spelled differently)

@jevgenijs @PopularFintech Know someone on this team!

Do I have anyone in my network, who worked with or researched JPMorgan’s $JPM permissioned blockchain Kinexys? Would like to write a @PopularFintech story about what they do in payments.

@CharleyMa Castle for me in New York hotels

Does anyone else only watch law and order SVU on work trips after 11pm or just me?

@jevgenijs Honestly pretty surprised that Amazon entrusted a relatively small company like Parafin with it

@chiefintern Yeah

Interesting...Amazon stopped underwriting merchant loans directly and now relies solely on its partners

@howdymerry Had the same revelation last year Will be there for devconnect!

@mikulaja Which bank is it through?

Well, when you click Binance US’s ACH debit terms and conditions, it loads a blank page. Good to see their compliance hasn’t changed.

@stevekrouse @charmaine_klee Sign me up!

I'm looking for programmers to onboard to ✨ Val Town Projects ✨ to: • create a personal site or blog • full-stack app • backend • internal tool • or really anything you can do in js/ts 🤔 Who would like to be personally onboarded by @charmaine_klee and I? DMs open :)

@prajitn Can you elaborate on that? Specifically which part is breaking the law

Here is a stable coin eg especially remittance which is illegal. If you send any remittance to India via stablecoins you have basically broken all laws.

@JoeAbbey What about the guy telling you it's going to be 👌

glad I'm not about to deploy to prod on friday

@elena_lape Lapella

@chiefintern That has a meaning in the English language, and not an interesting one

I need to come up with a stage name for my music. Anyone good with this stuff?

@rak_garg Never bet against nerds in suits

@ethanyish @Tharman_S Did not believe you when you told me this

Grateful that I got to meet President @Tharman_S 🇸🇬 on my recent trip back to Singapore, and he wrote a lil note for my nephew - Just Be Yourself!

@noyesclt What are your thoughts on Skipify? Does it stand any real chance

ApplePay on Desktop is here with iOS18. As announced at WWDC24 all the new features roll out. Hope to demo by tomorrow. The next 18 months will be an amazing time of changes with this, Paze/SRC and ShopPay/link all demonstrating better performance than PYPL (at most merchants).

@bpmilne How about @AlliumLabs

has anyone built a multi-chain enterprise explorer that doesn't have 1 - degen branding 2 - ads on it 3 - a .xyz domain ending?
