It’s a privilege to announce that I will be joining @PlasmaFDN as Head of Global Payments. Crypto will only reach billions of people through stablecoins and I’m thrilled to be working towards this vision at Plasma. Having built the payments stack at some of the largest CEXs and PSPs, facilitating billions in on and off-ramp volume, I have a deep understanding of the infrastructure that underpins both stablecoin and legacy payments. I saw firsthand how stablecoins are fundamentally disrupting the payments landscape. Every business, merchant and company I worked with adopted stablecoins because they are cheaper, faster and overall radically improve the user experience. With Plasma, I have the opportunity to apply these learnings at a global scale. We will bring the world on-chain as we work toward our vision of making payments and other financial services globally accessible. Money will undoubtedly move better on Plasma. Trillions.

@Plasma 🤝

Plasma One. June 2026.

It’s been 19 days and 20 hrs since I last felt Kate’s warm embrace. She landed 47 minutes ago. The 24 hours of travel no doubt has her rushing to shower. She needs to cleanse herself of a dirtied world incompatible with her sensibilities. The wash doubles as a ritual, preparatory for entrance into the symbolic world we’ve constructed. The time apart has been costly.  My body’s electrical signaling betrays the separation. Without her touch, my vagus nerve’s 100,000 myelinated fibers have dropped their high frequency spectral power, squawking distress. An intelligent system broadcasting diminished wave forms, hoping to be heard.  There are other signals of distress. My white blood cells have shifted their gene expression, upregulating pro-inflammatory genes IL-6 and TNF-alpha and downregulating my antiviral genes.  A pro-aging biochemical signature of a system suffering hardship. My environment is a pristine anti-aging laboratory. Air, water, food and light are meticulously measured. Toxins are filtered. Purification systems run autonomously. Biomarkers tracked. Nutrition is calibrated. Yet outside my control is the affection of another. The 68 trillion cells that constitute Bryan Johnson run non-negotiable code. They demand tenderness, and not of a whimsical type, but deep, all-encompassing love that must be earned and carefully maintained. Otherwise they protest in self-termination. She’s now only 13 miles away and I can viscerally feel her essence. The transmission pulses in high fidelity. As if there were a fiber optic cable streaming our connection at light speed through the multiplexed cylinders of glass. The time apart created latency, buffering the connection, depriving us of the luminescence and dimming into noise. In 15 minutes she will be within reach. I can visualize the whites of her eyes and smell her aroma. When she arrives, she will be shy. Whenever we are apart, she returns to zero. Her previous openness will be closed. Her emotional dynamic range will be held in reserve until she feels she is safe and can trust.  I’ll need to kindle her again. The rush of the courtship enthralls me. The anticipation drives a small cluster of my midbrain neurons to flood dopamine. Nerve fibers activate, lighting up my skin’s receptors as it awaits for slow, caressing touch. My hypothalamus begins synthesizing oxytocin, preparing to dump it upon first eye contact to ensure the reestablishment of our pair bond. This biochemical orchestra fills me with delight and sensorial want. Kate’s been mulling over what she’ll wear for days.  She’s considered dozens of possibilities and modeled out my anticipated emotional state, the weather, and our planned activities. The colors will be representative of her psychological state and be positioned to soothe mine. The texture, style, and hues will interplay with our biology. The deliberately chosen accessories will add flair, intrigue and play. This is how she flirts, seduces and bypasses my mind to speak directly to my physiology. She has other tricks too. She’s arrived. I must wait for her. Her timidness will want to determine the cadence. I hear the door crack open and her bag drop to the floor. She’s nervous. I’m on the couch, neutral and open. She rounds the corner and our eyes meet. The inhibitions wither as the magnetism draws us together. Soft hellos are whispered and our bodies interdigitate. I feel her finger tips on the back of my neck. Goose bumps light up my body. Skin nerve cells fire signals directly to my brain, bypassing the analytical mind. The hypothalamus dumps the oxytocin, inhibiting fear and lowering cortisol. The body washes itself in this anti-inflammatory chain reaction.  Our respiration and heart beats are now synchronizing. The brain piles on with a release of endorphins to soothe the psychological pain of our separation. New powers are now in control. Let them run in glory. I press my cheek against hers. The skin on skin triggers a wave of desire. I brush her lips with mine, catalyzing a massive activation of neurons in her brain, overwhelming thought and forcing presence. She relents and wants to dance. She’s home. I slip my hand under her shirt and brush the small of her back. Goosebumps spread like a wildfire across her body. Her hypothalamus stimulates the release of GnRH which tells the pituitary gland to wake up her reproductive system. Our olfactory systems consume each other with delight, signaling immune system compatibility. I move both my hands to her jawline, holding her head firmly in place. Our mirror neurons speak to each other. I know what she wants. My lips press against hers and I softly bite her lower lip. Kate’s blood vessels dilate from the acetylcholine and nitric oxide release, flushing her lips, skin and body. The cascade is nearing waterfall. The executive control of our brains surrenders. No longer concerned with the 68 trillion cells. The prefrontal cortex goes dark. Eliminating future planning and probabilistic modeling. Activity in our parietal lobes diminishes, dissolving the boundary that distinguishes between self and other. No longer is there Kate and Bryan, just a singular biological entity suspended in a state of bliss. The outside world goes quiet. It doesn’t exist. We dissolve into raw existence.

Billions now, trillions later. Just use Aave.

NEWS: zerohash now enables @Plasma so partner platforms can offer instant, borderless stablecoin payments for: ✔ Payroll ✔ Remittances ✔ Merchants & creators ✔ B2B settlement Plasma is now available via zerohash on @public, and soon @BitMartExchange & @bolt. Learn more ↓

Africa is at the forefront of stablecoin adoption, driven by currency volatility that makes digital dollars a financial lifeline. With @Yellowcard_app, Plasma USD₮ will be accessible in 20 African countries via cash-agent networks, mobile money and banking rails.

Licensing our stack for global money movement enables us to serve materially larger markets and partners in more regions. Today, Plasma is rolling out its global regulatory strategy for worldwide coverage, focused on countries where stablecoins matter most.

Today, Plasma submitted a letter in response to the Treasury’s advance notice of proposed rulemaking regarding implementation of the GENIUS Act. The GENIUS Act was a historic first step in cementing stablecoins as a global financial tool, however, there's still work to be done.

Plasma is expanding its team, hiring the best, most elite, builders and operators in the industry. We are at the earliest stages of turning our vision into a chain the world uses daily. We shipped the first stablecoin chain, and now we are focused on scaling the network and building Plasma One to redefine global money movement. Open roles: - Head of Operations - Head of People - Finance Manager - Senior Fullstack Mobile Product Engineer If you’re a builder or operator that can execute at the highest level, join us in building the chain for money.

@paoloardoino Trillions.

WDK by Tether will be released this week. Enabling trillions of self-custodial wallets.

@pauliepunt Trillions more to go

The first trillion is always the hardest. plasma.asxn.xyz/transaction-vo…

@0xG00gly Trillions

USD₮ volumes on Plasma are steadily growing and already well above $1 trillion annualised. But this is only the start.

@lucidxpl Higher we go

New all-time high of more than 5.3B USD₮ on Plasma

One of the most insightful clips from @paoloardoino explaining the value proposition of @Plasma to @tether’s long-term vision and distribution. Focused blockchains will be the way of the future for the most elite user experience.

@KevinWSHPod @tether @Plasma USD₮ on Plasma

Why did @tether invest in @Plasma? Because most blockchains are still chasing hype instead of solving real problems, too many are optimized for fast meme coin listings instead of usability. But the real-world utility of USDT proves something deeper: if you build tools that work for people, they’ll use them. Plasma aims to make stablecoins cheaper and simpler to move - no more needing ETH just to send digital dollars. After years in this space, @paoloardoino’s bet is clear: blockchain should stop building for geeks and start building for everyday users. Paolo Ardoino's full podcast out NEXT week! @pauliepunt

@lucidxpl Money moves better on Plasma.

While Plasma One is our own flagship neobank, we’re actively looking to onboard more teams building neobanks on Plasma. We don’t view other neobanks as competition. The world is far too large and diverse for a single product to win it all. Just look at how Revolut, Monzo, and Starling each carved out strong audiences in the UK, or how Nubank, Tonik, and Kuda all thrive in their own regions with entirely different approaches. Financial access is a global problem that cannot be solved by one app alone. Our goal is to onboard the world from legacy financial systems onto better rails. That means building one strong opinionated product ourselves, while empowering others to build horizontally across regions and use cases. A freelancer in Kenya needs very different features from a small business in Turkey or a retail user in Indonesia. What Plasma offers builders is best-in-class payment infrastructure, deep liquidity, access to users, and a permissionless system where users can move freely between neobanks built on Plasma, including Plasma One. We also help with financial, operational and fundraising support to grow faster. If you’re building a neobank and looking for a home, reach out to @rongplace, @kay00nee or myself.
